of the ftyle ; but this part is not the true ftigma which, when 

 protruded beyond the anthers, is feen to be fmooth, bifid, and 

 revolute, and is inferted obliquely by an articulation into the 

 hairy apex of the ftyle. The flowers are not quite feflile, as 

 defcribed by Linn/eus, but the fhort peduncle together with 

 two linear braftes at the bafe of the calyx are concealed by the 

 floral leaf. It may be confidered as a connecting link between 

 Lobelia and Cyphia. 



We know of no figure of the Yellow Lobelia, but the one 

 above quoted from Burmann, which is fufnciently accurate to 

 fhew the identity of the plants. The fynonyms uiually quoted 

 from Herman and Ray are too uncertain to be depended 

 upon. 



Native of the Cape of Good Hope. Requires to be pro- 

 tected from froft. Flowers in June and July. Propagated by 

 offsets from the root. Communicated by Mr. Knight, 

 Nurferyman, in the King's-Road, Little-Chelfea. Introduced 

 into the Kew-Garden, by Mr. Francis Masson, in 1774.
