This {pecies approaches very near to the Scutellaria orientalis, 
elpecially to the variety found in Georgia, by Tournerort, 
and defcribed in his travels: but befides that his plant has 
yellow flowers, ours differs in having much fhorter fpikes, 
Corolla larger in proportion to the fize of the brattezx, leaves 
rounder, lefs tomentofe underneath, but foft like velvet on 
both fides; the flowers are fcentlefs, and, as well as the whole — 
Plant, intenfely bitter. A hardy pérennial. Flowers in July. 
The fpecimen from which our drawing was made, was fent us 
by Mr. Loppices, Nurferyman at Hackney, who raifed it 
from feeds fent him from Siberia.
