spermum, differing chiefly in the nature of the stigmas. A species 
closely allied to this, we may remark, Arnedia echioides, De Cand., 
_ has been figured by us at our Tab. 4409, a native of the Caucasian 
and Armenian Alps. Our present plant, however, has narrower 
leaves, smaller flowers, of a more decidedly yellow colour, a dif- 
ferently shaped calyx, and a longer corolla. ‘The five spots, 
above mentioned, upon the corollas, become less distinct as the 
flowering season advances, and eventually disappear. We ob- 
serve in the flowers the stamens are placed sometimes near 
the middle of the tube, and then the style is elongated; some- 
times near the faux of the tube, and then the style is short, and 
the pistil appears abortive. :
