Cuxr. This new species of Pentstemon is a native of the same 
region as P. Wright. Judging by the appearance of the plant 
after the severe frost in November last, we may conclude that 
it is not sufficiently hardy to live throughout the winter without 
some protection ; it is therefore desirable to keep a stock in pots, 
that may be placed in a cool frame during the winter. Being 
a late-flowering species, it did not ripen its seeds, but, like the 
allied species of the genus, it. may be increased by cuttings. J. 8.
