Antirrhimum Cymbalaria Altthough originally introduced into gardens from Italy, this elegant little plant has long been perfectly naturalized with us upon old walls about the shores of the Thames, as well as at Oxford, Cambridge, and in short wherever there are any long established botanic gardens; for no weed in the world takes more absolute possession, when once it is well rooted.

Linaria cymbalaria prevails in the interstices of the masonry of Caius College, Cambridge, especially at the back of the Gate of Virtue; that is, supposing one to enter at the Gate of Humility, and to pass through the Gate of Virtue, in his way to the Gate of Honour.
