country, where they grow eight or nine inches long. Of 
a considerable number of plants originally raised by Mr. 
Munro, three only have survived, and they are not in good 
health. It is, nevertheless, not a tender plant, death not 
ensuing after hard frosts, or in consequence of exposure to 
cold, but rather in the spring and summer, when it ought 
to be in the full vigour of growth. It will scarcely bear 
transplanting. 
As the first perennial Lupine with yellow flowers, it is 
an object of much interest: we trust it will not, by inter- 
mixture in our Gardens with purple-flowered species, lose 
those original and beautiful characters that have been con- 
ferred upon it by nature; or that at least some of it will 
continue to be preserved in its native purity.
