V. sulphurea. Don in Sweet's Flower Garden, ser. 2. t. 221. 
A pretty hardy perennial, with hairy stems spreading flat 
upon the ground, and heads of sulphur-coloured flowers. 
Although not so conspicuous for its beauty as Verbena 
chamedrifolia (V. Melindres of this work, f. 1184.) it is 
nevertheless a neat pretty species, which deserves a place 
in all select collections. 
It is a native of Chile, flowering in August, September, 
and November. Cuming found it near Valparaiso (No. 519) ; 
Bridges on the mountains near the same city. It is very 
nearly the same as V. erinoides, from which it differs in having 
yellow instead of purple flowers, and more particularly in 
the lower lobes of its leaves originating from the very base 
of the leaf, and not from near the point.
