horizontally, cut to the base ito five nearly equal rotundate 
lobes. Stamens included. Filaments quite glabrous, flexuose. 
Anthers large, of two deep oval lobes. Sfy/e shorter than the 
longer filaments, thickened upwards, and clothed with long 
slightly defiexed hairs on the anterior side. VW. J. H. 
Cunt. A fine species of Pentstemon, raised from seeds sent to 
the Royal Gardens last year. It appears to grow and flower 
freely, but we are not yet certain whether it is quite hardy. Like 
other species of the genus, it will probably be found to succeed 
best if a stock be kept in pots under a frame in winter, and 
planted out in the open ground in spring. It is increased by 
seeds, which it produces readily. J. S.
