Seeds of this handsome plant were gathered in Persia, 
and presented by Sir Henry Willock to the Horticultural 
ociety, in whose garden a plant or two flowered about 
Midsummer last year. The shoots spring, with very few 
branches, straight from the ground, and rise to the height 
of two or three feet. They and the leaves are covered over 
with a dense bloom, which contrasts agreeably with the deep 
yellow of the showy flowers. 
It has not produced seeds ; but as it is perennial, it may 
probably be increased without difficulty, by dividing the 
crown of its roots.
