_This little plant is a native of Caucafus, growing in the 
Vicinity of the hot {fprings of Mount Conftantine. The flowers 
are faid to be more ufually purple. It may eafily be con- 
founded with Iseris garrexiana of Aui1oN1, which is con- _ 
idered by Wittpenow asa variety of /empervirens, and is 
the plant ufually met with in our colle€tions, under the name 
Of Inerts faxatilis; but our plant may be diftinguifhed by 
the leaves being, under all circumftances, minutely ciliated 
and the ftem hairy near the flowers; whereas in Inserts gar- 
‘Textana the whole herb is quite fmooth. Another diftinétion 
may be found in its extreme bitternefs without acrimony, while 
the latter is merely flightly acrid, and not at all bitter. 
__ Communicated by Mr. Lopprcrs. Isa hardy herbaceous
