An extremely beautiful, and, apparently, very distinct 
species, of which specimens exist in my Herbarium, which 
were collected at Bejar in Texas, by M. Brerenpier In 
1828. It has been again gathered most abundantly by Mr. 
Drummonp, between Brazoria and San Felipe, particularly 
about the latter place. Seeds arrived in England from the 
last mentioned Naturalist, and have produced their hand- 
some flowers in July of the present year, 1835. .
