The expeditions sent by the Russian Government to the 

 regions of Central Asia have resulted in the discovery and 

 introduction into the gardens of St. Petersburg of an 

 astonishing number of hardy herbaceous plants, which have 

 been most liberally distributed to all European gardens ; 

 and to none of the intrepid explorers of these inhospitable 

 regions are we more indebted than to Dr. Albert de Kegel, 

 the talented son of the excellent and able Director of the 

 Imperial Botanical Gardens of St. Petersburg. Amongst 

 these novelties the genus Corydalis holds a conspicuous 

 place, and as most of the species are early spring flowers, 

 when there is little else to grace the garden, they are 

 welcome to horticulturists. Dr. Kegel, who describes 

 this plant in the " Gartenflora," says of it that it is 

 allied to C. longiflora, which latter may be distinguished by 

 the more simple stem, by the bracts equalling or exceeding 

 the pedicels of the flower, by the boat-shaped tips of the 

 corolla, which are not spread out, by the subulate acute 

 spur, and by the linear-oblong pods. 



G. Kolpakowskiana was found in 1877 by Dr. Albert de 

 Kegel in Western Turkestan, near the town of Wernoje, 

 near the river Almatiuka, and is stated to vary in the 



MARCH 1st, 1887.
