Native of Hungary. Introduced bjj Mr. James Gordon 

 about 1760. We are obliged to Mr. Biggs, the Curator of 

 the Cambridge Botanic Garden, for the sample from which 

 the drawing has been made. The species comes very near to 

 mpinusi but differs from that in having assurgent, and not 

 decumbent branches, leaves that are smooth above and 

 silkilv pubescent underneath,, not slightly pubescent above 

 and hireutely furred underne^h, bud-scales that are dry 

 and caducwis, not herbaceous round and persistent, a pale 

 silky furred calyx with a tridcnticulate under lip, not a 

 roughly furred calyx \nth a quite entire under hp, and 

 lastly, by a corolla which does not turn to a deep purple-red 

 colour before it decays, as it does in supinus, which is also a 

 much commoner plant in our gardens than the present.
