and had rounder and nearly entire leaves, and very much 
smaller flowers than that here figured. It is an autumn- 
flowering species, and as it is no doubt hardy, it is sure to 
be a favourite. 
Desor. Softly hairy or nearly glabrous. Leaves many 
from the root, petioled, broadly ovate-oblong, cordate or 
rounded-cordate, membranous, margins lobulately-toothed 
or nearly entire, surface much raised between the deeply 
sunk reticulated nerves; petiole two to four inches long. 
Scapes several from the rootstock, exceeding the leaves. 
Flowers drooping, umbellate; bracts small, few, spreading, 
linear or subulate, very unequal; pedicels very unequal in 
length, a quarter to one inch long, pubescent. Caly« small, 
between campanulate and funnel-shaped, obseurely five- 
angled, pubescent, mouth very shortly five-toothed, teeth 
very much broader than long, acute. Corolla-tube cylindric, 
twice as long as the calyx or more; limb quite flat, one 
inch in diameter, pale lilac or purplish, throat with a very 
obscure thickening at the mouth, segment obcordate with 
rounded lobes. Ovary globose.-—J. D. H.
