This plant flowers freely in the greenhouse in the Botanic 
Garden, Edinburgh, and is ornamental, both when the 
white corollas are expanded, and after they have fallen, 
when the purple calyces remain as its only ornament. 
Professor LinpEy notices a resemblance between this and 
S. furfuracea of Lagasca. 1 do not recollect to have seen 
S. ‘pectinata, Arr., but judging from the description, | have 
a doubt whether it be different from our plant, which, as 
well as it, is from one of the Canary Islands. 
The figure in Bot. Reg. has far more acute leaves than 
the plant ever acquired with us.
