Another and very distinct and elegant species of Zropeolum, 
for the introduction of which to our gardens we are indebted to 
Messrs. Veitch and Son, and to their indefatigable collector, 
William Lobb. It is a native of high mountains in Columbia, 
whence we have copious native specimens in our Herbarium, not 
only sent by Mr. Lobb, but by Colonel Hall, who gives the 
elevation at Lloa, 9000 feet above the level of the sea. The 
learned De Candolle has done well to discard the Linnean name 
of peregrinum, which properly belongs to the 7. adunacum of Smith 
(the “ Canary Bird Flower” of cottage gardens). For, what- 
ever plant Linnaeus may have intended under that name in after 
time, it is certain that he established it, in the first instance, on 
the authority of Feuillée’s figure (vol. ii. p. 736. t. 42) only, 
which he quotes, and adds, “Hab. in Peru; nondum mihi visum 
in Europa:”—and that figure is Smith’s and De Candolle’s 
aduncum. Treated as the Tropeolum majus and minus, there is 
every reason to believe that it will prove as hardy. It flowers 
through the summer months.
