from Dr. Fiscuer, as a native of Caboul, and the plants 
raised that season, flowered in a cold frame in May, 1839, 
and will probably ripen seed. 
Descr. Stem ascending, weak, angled, simple. Leaves 
of nearly uniform green on both sides, scattered, lanceolate, 
remotely denticulate, attenuated at the base, recurved at the 
apex, with bipartite adpressed hairs ; middle rib prominent 
behind, two to four lateral, obscure nerves. Spike race- 
mose, terminal, many-flowered ; pedicels spreading. Calyx 
pale greenish-yellow, erect, deciduous ; sepals unequally 
bulging, and distant at the base, keeled at the apex, espe- 
cially the two which are longer and narrower. Corolla of 
uniform orange colour ; lamine of the petals suborbicular, 
spreading at right angles, at first slightly concave, after- 
wards reflected, shorter than the slender, wedge-shaped 
claws, which are scarcely longer than the sepals. Stamens 
distinctly tetradynamous, the shorter equal to the claws of 
the petals. Hypogynous-glands dark green, indented by 
the claws of the petals, secreting much honey. Pistel 
longer than the stamens; germen spreading, four-sided, 
slightly pubescent, having many ovules in one row ; style 
less than half the length of the germen ; stigma capitate, 
cleft across the vertex. Siliqua compressed, four-sided, 
rough with bipartite adpressed hairs, crowned with the 
persistent style, which is nearly as long as the pedicel, and 
from four to six times shorter than the siliqua. Graham.
