We received this, as we fuppofe, new Cheiranthus, from 

 Mr. Loddiges, of Hackney, who informs us that the feeds 

 from whence he raifed it, were gathered on the celebrated 

 Mount Arrarat in Armenia-Major. 



It has near affinity with the Cheiranthus eryfimoides, 

 figured by Jacquin in his Flora Aujlriaca, but differs in 

 having a fhrubby divided ftem, leaves colle&ed in a circle at 

 the extremity of the branch and deeper toothed, undulated 

 and purple in the winter, flowers growing in longer racemes. 

 The peduncles of the flowers are horizontal, of the fruit 

 affurgent. 



The flowers, which appear in May, are fweet-fcented. I s 

 propagated by feeds or by cuttings.
