The present handsome Sage is one of 407 species described 
by Mr. Bentham in the twelfth volume of De Candolle’s Pro- 
dromus, and belongs to his section Calosphace, which of itself 
includes 144 species that cannot, the author observes, be sub- 
divided into series with any very definite characters. In the
