leaves which are far more deeply lobed and cut in a pinna- 
tifid manner. ‘This will, in all probability, prove as hardy 
a species as V. chamedrifolia. 
Descr. Whole plant pubescently hairy. Stem, in the 
individual from which our figure was taken, erect, but 
weak, between two to three feet high, branched. The 
leaves below cordato-oblong, petiolate, deeply lobed and 
cut, especially near the base ; the upper ones sessile, inci- 
so-pinnatifid, much narrower than the rest, and with longer 
and narrower segments. Corymbs terminal, of many nearly 
sessile flowers, presenting a nearly plane or slightly convex 
surface. Calyx cylindrical, slender, pale, with five dark- 
green angles or ribs, and as many very short, spreading 
teeth. Corolla with the tube slender, about one-third longer 
than the calyx, whitish ; limb large, spreading, oblique, of 
five wedge-shaped and bifid lobes, rose-crimson on the up- 
per side, very pale beneath, the eye yellow, the mouth 
closed with converging hairs. 3
