(made by Dr. Grevitxe), and a description from Dr. Gra- 
nam*, done from plants of the Edinburgh Botanic Garden, 
both of which are here given in preference to my own. It 
appears to be quite hardy, and is highly ornamental. 
Descr. Stems numerous, from the crown of the root, as- 
cending, slightly hairy, hairs adpressed. oot-leaves on 
very long petioles, lobed or pedate, thinly sprinkled on 
both sides and on the edges with harsh hairs. Lower stem- 
leaves palmato-pedate, upper digitate or simple, nerved, all 
slightly hairy ; lobes of the radical and lower stem-leaves 
more or less inciso-pinnatifid. Stipule ovate, acute, ciliated. 
Pedunceles very long, axillary, single-flowered. Involucrum 
three-leaved, closely surrounding the calyx, leafets lanceo- 
late, hairy. Calyx five-cleft, segments ovate, acute, three- 
ribbed, hairy; hairs spreading, acute, rising singly from 
tubercles placed on the ribs or edges of the segments. Co- 
rolla of five petals, campanulate, large, red-purple ; petals 
obovate, truncated, and unequally crenato-dentate at their 
extremity, cuneate at the base, and there woolly on the 
edges. Stamens very numerous; filaments united into a 
somewhat: hairy, conical tube for about two-thirds of their 
length; anthers kidney-shaped, reddish-yellow, single- 
celled, opening along the vertex. Pistil at first shorter 
than the stamens; st¢gmata linear, reddish, hairy, decurrent 
along the inside of the numerous, deeply divided, at length 
procuced segments of the style; germen depressed, gla- 
rous ; cells arranged in a circle, yellowish, each emarginate 
on the outside, and within extended into a dark green, 
blunt apex. Ovules solitary in each cell, reniform, attached 
by the sinuosity and pendulous. 
Thave hesitated about describing this plant as a distinct species, fearful 
that in the Genus there may be a strong disposition to vary. So many 
plants, however, have flowered in different gardens around Edinburgh, 
some from imported roots, others from seed—as in Mr. CunNINGHAM’S 
Nursery, Comely Bank, at Mr. Neru1’s, and with Mr. Fatconar of Car- 
lowrie—and all with precisely the same characters, that I believe it will 
be thought at least as distinct from either of the two species already in 
cultivation as they are from each other. The presence of the invo-— 
lucrum brings the Genus too near Marva. Graham. 
* It is very much through the instrumentality of Dr. GraHam, that Mr. 
DrumMonp has been enabled to accomplish his long and successful jour- 
mies in the southern States of North America, where, amidst many dangers, 
and notwithstanding the severest attacks of fever and cholera, he has amassed 
a collection of upwards of one thousand species of plants. The NoTraLLiA — 
fapaver, and the little known SARRACENIA psittacina are among the most 
interesting that have been sent home in a living state. From Takes and 
New Mexico it is expected his collections will be still more valuable.
