A plant originally observed by Tournefort in the Iievant, 

 and noticed by the above summary record ; but afterwards 

 brought more distinctly within the sphere of the Botanist, 

 by the ingenious and learned Cheralier de Lamarck, in 

 his valuable " Encyclopedic," where it is described from a 

 sample in Tournefort's Herbarium, and distinguished by 

 the name it now bears. From that time till lately the 

 species was known from no other source ; ^en about three 

 years ago seeds were sent by Mrs. Listoa, the lady of our 

 Ambassador at the Porte, to Sir Joseph Banks, and from 

 these the plant was raised that flowered last summer 

 at SpringTove, from which a drawing was made by Mr. 

 Lindley that now mingles with two or three others by the 

 same artist among the masterly ones by Mr. Ferdinand 

 Bauer that compose the splendid and ample illustration of 

 the genus lately published. 



The Lambertian Herbarium contains a native sample of 

 the species, gathered near Angora in Asiatic Turkey, by a 

 botanic collector employed by Mrs. Liston.
