There is a near affinity between this fpecies and the peren- 

 ni s (No. 202) ; but befides that the whole plant is more robuft 

 and very hairy, and the corolla confiderably larger, it fcems 

 f° be diftinft in that the flowers grow in diitant whirls, wirch 

 m the other are alternate. If we do not miftake. both fpecies 

 occafionally vary with blue and with vanega;ed flowers. 



The Nootka-Sound Lupin, though of modern introdu&ion, 

 is now much more common in our gardens than the old 

 perennis, being hardier and more ikewy. It is eafily pro- 

 pagated either by parting its roots or bv feeds, which it 

 generally produces in this country. It will thrive in almoft 

 an y foil or fituation, and is well adapted for growing in pots 

 to decorate windows or flower Hands,
