comparing it. "The differences we find relied on, are, that 
it comes later into flower, is a taller, more upright, and 
stiffer plant, with a more narrowly divided leaf. We must 
also observe, that M. Decandolle has described the limb of 
the two upper petals in the flower of grandiflorum as pointed, 
in our plant it was manifestly blunt and rounded. We 
have preferred recording the plant as a strongly marked va- 
riety or possible species until the two can be determined by 
comparison in the living state or rather by experience. 
The drawing was taken at the nursery of Messrs. Whit- 
ley and Co., King's Road, Fulham, in June 1818. Probably 
native of some of the Russian districts on the confines of 
China. Both (8) and (=) vary with cream-coloured flowers. 
Some of the samples we saw of (@) were three feet high. 
We found a garden one from Moscow in Mr. Lambert's 
Herbarium, where the plant is stated to be native of Kam- 
chatka. 
The species is remarkable among the perennial Lark- 
spurs in having the limb of the lower petals entire instead 
of cloven. 
Root inclining to black; stem upright; leaves petioled, 
triply divided, segments tripartite, lobes multifid (repeat- 
edly cleft), lobules linear narrow; peduncles 1-2 inches long 
or more, ascending, stiff, one-flowered; a simple leafy bracte 
at their base, with two rather smaller ones placed above 
their middle. Leaflets of the calyx obovate, with a small 
hollow gibbous yellowish green externally villous point. 
Petals much shorter than the calyx, two upper ones with 
pale blue oblong round-ended limbs; two lower ones with a 
filiform straight unguis, limb deflexed, bearded at the base 
wich Pid hairs. Germens 3-4, grey, close-pressedly 
urred.
