nothing save in the colour of the flower. I fear Botanists 
have been misled by the terms “ pendulous” and “ cernu- 
ous” applied by authors to the flower of this plant, and 
hence many have been led to suppose it to be drooping like 
that of T. cernuwm. Whereas the flower is only slightly 
inclined, as it were from its own weight, at the extremity of 
the slender peduncle. 
Our plants were received at the Botanic Garden of Glas- 
ow, from Canada, by favour of Mr. Creguorn, and they 
owered under a frame in the month of April, 1833. It is 
quite unnecessary to enter into a full description of this 
variety, which only differs from «, in the differently coloured 
tals, and from #, in the same particular, and in the 
roader petals.
