Var, cerulescens ; caule glabro, petiolis foliisque subtus bracteis pedicellisque 
pilosis, racemo longissimo ramoso: 
A third and very striking variety of Delphinium inter- 
medium (see fol. 1963 and 1969), with the palest flowers of 
any I am acquainted with, and perhaps also the tallest stem. 
It has rather smaller flowers than the kind last figured, its 
leaves and leaf.stalks are downy, especially the former on 
the under side, and there are many weak long hairs on the 
bracts and. pedicels. These circumstances shew how un- 
important is the hairiness of the leaves, stem, and flowers, 1n 
this genus. | 
The leaves have their base decidedly truncate, as in the 
supposed species D. palmatifidum, which has already been 
shewn (fol. 1963) to be a simple variety of D. intermedium. 
Our drawing was made in the garden of the Horticultural 
Society, in July, 1836)
