the name here given, whence it would appear to be a 
native of the Azores. It is cultivated in a pot, and treated 
as an alpine plant ; that is, protected from the fickleness of 
our winters, and kept in a cool, shady situation in the — 
summer ; and in the month of June, a pot filled with this 
little plant is quite a beautiful object; for the peduncles are 
_ so long as to elevate the bright and crs spe large 
yellow flowers above the tops of the stem and the delicate 
pale green foliage. Different as the plant appears at first 
sight from L. nemorum, yet, except in the smaller size of 
the stem (which, too, is erect,) and foliage, and narrower 
leaves with the sides incurved, it will be difficult to point 
out any distinguishing characters. Indeed, I suspect it is 
the var. “8. minor; caulibus erectiusculis” of Gmetin’s FI. 
Badensis, 1. p. 455, as quoted by Roemer and Scuu res.
