Cutt. This new Papaveraceous plant was raised from seeds, 
received last year from the elevated regions of Sikkim-Himalaya. 
It appears to be a perennial-rooted plant, but we must await the 
result of next winter, in order to know whether it is sufficiently 
hardy to bear the open air of this climate. Hitherto we have 
kept it in an airy frame, where it has flowered and produced 
perfect seeds. In summer it may be planted out in the open 
air in a cool shady place; but at the same time care must -be 
taken that it does not remain’ long saturated with moisture, for, 
on account of the soft and villous nature of the leaves, a con- 
tinued excess of moisture may cause them to damp off. J. S.
