it agrees with L. androsaceus (Tab. Nost. 3491), one of the 

 largest flowered of all, Lut which has much narrower corolla 

 lobes, of a very different shape. L. grandiflorus and L. densi- 

 florus (Tab. Nost. 3578), also as large flowered, have on the 

 other hand, a very short corolla tube. 



I am indebted to Mr. Thompson of Ipswich for the 

 fresh specimens from which the accompanying drawing was 

 made ; and which flowered in his nurseries in June of the 

 present year. It is a native of California, and perfectly 

 hardy ; but probably, like its congeners, does best in rather 

 a damp climate.
