"Esoula nil nobis, sed dat linaria _taurum_," implying that the herb was of old valued for its good effects when applied externally to piles as an ointment, a fomentation, or a poultice, each being made from the leaves and the flowers. ❋ William Thomas Fernie (N/A)

I had reached this church by an old archway, whose origin was evidently defensive, and crossing the dim and silent square, surrounded by mediaeval houses, some half ruinous, and all more or less adorned with pellitory, ivy-linaria, and other wall-plants which had fixed their roots between the gaping stones. ❋ Edward Harrison Barker (1885)

The old walls of Figeac are likewise tapestried with pellitory and ivy-linaria, with here and there a fern pushing its deep-green frond farther into the shadow, or an orpine sedum lifting its head of purple flowers into the sunshine that changes it to a flame. ❋ Edward Harrison Barker (1885)

One little garden linaria, at first employed as an ornament for hanging-baskets, has become so common on old walls and banks as to be now considered a mere weed, and exterminated accordingly by fashionable gardeners. ❋ Grant Allen (1873)

Flowering plants include centaurea, cranesbills, linaria, knautia and sanguisorba - all hand-mixed and hand-sown. ❋ Unknown (2011)
