As we have already observed in the work on the Botany 
of Capt. Beecury’s Voyage, above quoted, the name given 
to this plant is scarcely appropriate, seeing that there is no 
greater difference between lower and upper leaves than 
what is usually observable between the cauline and floral _ 
leaves of plants in general. The species is one of the 
inany handsome hardy herbaceous plants introduced by the 
late Mr. Dovetas to the gardens of the Horticultural Soci- 
ety, and by that valuable institution spread far and wide in 
the collections of this and other countries. Our specimens 
Were sent from Woburn Abbey, where they flowered in 
July of this year, and made a very pretty appearance Mes
