was raised. The flowers when fully expanded are white, 
but in drying change into azurean blue. It agrees very well 
with the description of Sida vitifolia of DeCandolle’s Pro- 
dromus, vol. 1. p. 471. 
« The flowers are large, as stated by DeCandolle, but not 
rose coloured, in our plant. It may however vary as to 
colour.” 
From the specimens before me the leaves appear to be as 
large as those of the Vine, and the flowers, which grow in 
umbels, are fully three inches in diameter. A figure of it 
will appear hereafter. 
115. SALVIA Aans. Bentham Labiatarum Genera & Species, 219. 
A very fine species of Sage, with large deep blue flowers 
and a white lip, resembling those of S. bicolor, but far more 
handsome, and with coarsely wrinkled sagittate leaves. lt 
is a beautiful hardy perennial, for which we are indebted to 
the Hon. Court of Directors of the East India Company. 
Flowers in May and June, and grows about two feet high. 
116. TRIFOLIUM involucratum. Willd. Benth. Plant. Hartweg. no. 54. 
An herbaceous perennial plant with narrow leaves, loose 
prostrate shoots, and numerous heads of gay lemon-coloured 
flowers, raised from the Mexican seeds of Mr. Hartweg, in 
the garden of the Horticultural Society, proves to be this 
species, by some confounded with 7. tridentatum. It is 
pretty, and would make an excellent plant for rock-work. 
117. CLEOME lutea. Hooker Flora Boreali-Americana, 1. 70, t. 25. 
A very pretty neat herbaceous hardy plant, with a stem 
about two feet high, quinate leaves, and terminal clustered 
yellow flowers, with long stamens. It is described as an 
annual, and probably would flower like one; but 1t seems 
rather to be a biennial. It has been raised in the garden of 
the Horticultural Society, from seeds collected in North-west 
America, and presented by H. Moreton Dyer, Esq. V.P.H.5.
