yellow colour; the upper and lower petals with large round- 
ed deeply emarginate, spreading lamine, often with a mucro 
in the notch: calear or spur rather long, nearly straight, 
having only a slight curvature towards the obtuse extre- 
mity. Inner petals quite closed over the stamens and style. 
Germen linear-oblong ; Style short ; Sizgma capitate. 
By the liberality of Professor Leprsour of Dorpat our 
gardens and our Herbaria have been enriched with some 
imteresting species of this Genus, the result of his arduous 
journey to the Altai Mountains. The April number of our 
Magazine contains the pretty C. longiflora, of which much 
finer specimens than are there represented have been since 
communicated from the Birmingham Botanic Garden, by 
its zealous Curator, Mr. Cameron. The species here figured 
also accompanied them, and both were sent to Mr. CAMERON _ 
by Professor Leprsour. Native specimens from the same — 
able Naturalist differ only in their larger size, and the — 
almost entirely straight spur to the corolla. It is cultivated 
in a cool frame, and in such a situation flowers in March. — 
The species iscompared by WitipENow with C. nobilis 
but that is a larger plant, and has a far more leafy stell 
denser raceme, shorter and much incurved spur, the lamine 
of the upper and lower petals are smaller, and those of the — 
two inner petals dark-coloured. |
