platanifolia and Batatas^ or not, though from analogy we 

 suspect it to be so. 



Branches, petioles, peduncles, and calyx roughly furred 

 Trith a bristly spreading pui*ple pubescence, each hair of 

 which stands on a small glandular base or tubercle; branches 

 and peduncles round: "peduncles upright longer than the pe- 

 tioles, robust, from two- to eight- flowered in the present 

 plant, generally trichotomously divided; pedicles continuous 

 with the calyx and subclavately thickened. Calux oblong; 

 leaflets oblong, nearly equal, rather pointed. Corolla purplish 

 red: tube cylindrical, not ventricose, many times longer 

 than the calyx: limb about two inches and a half over; 

 segments shallow, notched in the middle of the intervals 

 between the plaits; plaits shortly pointed. Leaves about 

 3 or 4 inches long, naked, cordately 3-Iobed, lobes dentately 

 Sinuated at the outer edge, angularly tapered: petiole seve- 

 ral times shorter than the nerved blade. 



Flowers in August. We have not been informed of the 

 height the plant attained at Spofforth.
