amply confirm this statement of Dr. Linpiry. One of the 
species he describes is now in cultivation by Mr. Lowe of 
Clapton, and to him we are indebted for the beautiful spe- 
cimen here figured. It is extremely different, especially in 
the colour of its flowers, from any species yet introduced to 
our greenhouses. 
Descr. Root fibrous, but we presume, perennial. Leaves 
almost all springing from the top of the root, rosulate, very 
densely imbricated, the lower ones spreading on the ground, 
the inner ones nearly erect, all of them linear, compressed, 
ciliated, and tipped with a hair-like point. Scape with a 
few small, scattered, nearly appressed leaves, everywhere, 
as well as the pedicels, calyx, and outside of the corolla, 
clothed with long, spreading hairs, tipped with a brown, 
viscid gland. Panicle many-flowered. Ovary oblong. 
Calyx-segments of the same shape. Corolla and column 
yellow, exhibiting the usual structure of the Genus.
