as distinct by Mr. Gardner, in the native country. 

 Martius first detected it in the Organ Mountains, and Mr. 

 Gardner gathered his specimens in the same place, and 

 sent home young plants, which first flowered in the Glas- 

 gow Royal Botanic Garden, in July, 1843, whence spe- 

 cimens were kindly sent hither by Professor Balfour. 

 The chief distinction lies in the relative length of the pe- 

 duncle and leaves, and of the calyx-segments and corolla 

 (for, as above intimated, the leaves are variable) ; and the 

 flowers, it may be remarked, are smaller, and the spread 

 of the limb less. Any further description is needless. 

 Together with N. longipes it is well worthy a place in 

 every stove
