begins to fade to rusty-brown, a change I have not observed 
in this species, but which may occur. 
Roots and leaves of this plant were collected by Mr. Maw 
at the base of the Greater Atlas, south of the city of Marocco, 
at about 2000 feet elevation below Tasmeroot, in May 1871, 
which flowered in his garden, at Broseley, in August of the 
present year. It is an exceedingly. handsome species, the 
colours much resembling those of Collinsia verna. 
Descr. Stem two to three feet high, erect, quadrangular, 
with obtuse thickened yellowish angles, that are clothed with 
reverted hairs. Leaves, radical petioled, six to eight inches 
long, oblong-ovate or ovate-lanceolate obtuse, narrowed into 
the petiole, obtusely and very irregular sinuate-serrate with 
rounded lobules, pubescent, lower cauline short-petioled ; 
upper sessile, oblong or elliptic-oblong; floral ovate, long 
acuminate, reflexed. Raceme a foot long and more, stout, 
obtuse, many-flowered ; false-whorls of two opposite fascicles 
of two to three pedicelled flowers, pedicels erect, half an inch . 
long. Calyx three-quarters of an inch long, subcampanulate, 
2-lipped to the middle, glandular-pubescent, strongly ribbed, 
green; upper lip with three small teeth, the mid one 
smallest ; lower with two subulate lanceolate straight teeth.. 
Corolla one and a quarter inches long ; upper lip bright blue, 
obtuse, arcuate, oblong, much laterally compressed, pubescent ; 
lower lip as long as the upper, 3-lobed, lateral lobes pale blue, 
oblong, recurved; mid-lobe orbicular, concave, white, pendu- 
lous. Connectives very long, lower arm short projecting for- 
ward, irregularly capitate and lobed.—J. D. fT.
