not only changed to one which is less pertinent, but to one 
by which another species of the same genus has been long 
since universally known. 
Stem two feet high or more, round, simple, partly 
angular, thickly leaved below. Leaves sessile, decurrent, 
numerous, scattered all round, 5 inches long or much 
longer, lanceolate, less than an "inch broad, decreasing to 
very small, smooth, serrate, nerved, nerves ascendent. 
Raceme terminal, spiked, at first nodding, not very close, 
from 6 to 10 inches long, the flowers inclining one way. 
Bractes leafy, lanceolate, sharp-pointed, slightly villous 
especially at the edge, shorter than the flowers, decres- 
cent. Pedicles nearly as long as the calyx or considerably 
shorter. Calyx herbaceous, subbilabiate, scarcely 3 times 
shorter than “the corolla; segments lanceolate, somewhat 
unequal, villous at the edge, 3 upper ones smaller, the 
middle one being a little ‘shorter than the two on each 
side. Corolla yellow, downy, funnelform, two thirds of aa 
inch long; tube equal to the calyx; faux protuberant un- 
derneath; segments ој the limb rather pointed, villous on 
the inside; those of the upper lip more shallowly divided 
from each other than any of the rest, erectly recurved, con- 
nivent; of the lower lip spreadingly recurved, divaricate, 2 
side ones marked with a double red spot at their bases, the 
middle one 3 times wider than these or more, ovately 
pointed, jutting forwards, and recurved, bearded with long 
upright hair. Stamens enclosed: filaments greenish white, 
smooth: anthers yellow, didymous, with oblong cells. 
Germen oblong, pyramidal, green, villous; style coutinu-

The drawing was taken at Mr. Knight’s nursery in the 
King’s Road, Chelsea. 
Dr. Roth has quoted a figure from Lobel to his Dict- 
TALIS media, which seems to us no other than the repetition 
of the one he cites from the same author to lutea, but in a 
seeding state.
