Fig. 254, Flower of a Campanula or Harebell, with a campanulate or bell-shapedcorolla; 255, of a Phlox, with salver-shaped corolla; 256, of Dead-Nettie (Lamium),with labiate ringent (or gaping) corolla; 257, of Snapdragon, with labiate person-ate corolla; 258, of Toad-Flax, with a similar corolla spurred at the base, SECTION 8.] MODIFICATIONS OF THE TYPE. 91.
