That this Persian plant is the same as the Armenian and 
Dalmatian species, we cannot for an instant doubt. The 
only distinction that Monsieur Chavannes, in his elaborate 
and truly excellent monograph, was able to point out be- 
tween them, consists in the greater length of the spur in this 
form of the species. But in all other respects it is so identi- 
cal with the others, that it does not appear to us advisable 
to separate them even as varieties. 
The range of the plant, then, in its wild state, will be 
from Dalmatia and Candia, in Europe, into Armenia and 
Persia. 
It appears to be a hardy perennial.
