1904, one day’s march from Mumias, between Mount Elgon 
and Kisumu, Uganda. Only one plant flowered, we believe, 
and our drawing has been made from leaves and flowers, 
and from a painting and a photograph furnished by 
Lady Hindlip. It isa very beautiful species, and it is to be 
hoped that it has been permanently secured to cultivation. 
There is a monograph of the genus Delphinium by Dr. FE. 
Huth in Engl. Jahrb. vol. xx. (1895), pp. 322-499, tt. 6-8, 
in which the author describes 198 species.

usually 3-flowered. Leaves palmately 5-lobed, largest 4 to 
5 in. across; lobes broad, usually 3-lobulate and toothed, 
smaller and narrower upwards; stalks of the lower ones 
8-15 in. long. Flowers sweet-scented like the primrose, 
pure white with purple anthers, about 23 in. across, obscurely 
hairy. Stalks slender, pubescent, 14-13 in. Jong ; bracteoles 
usually 2, linear, about } in. long. Sepals almost equal, 
orbicular-ovate, 3-1 in. across, each having a thickened,
