A native of the Auftrian mountains and of fome other parts 

 of Germany. Becomes in our gardens a large plant, between 

 three and four feet high, or more. Corolla glorly, glazed 

 like porcelain, varies in its colour from purple, to whitiih 

 purple and white. Leaves coarfe and harm. Bra&es often 

 double. Diflance between the whorls of leaves about the 

 length of the leaves. Pedicles long, afcendently patent. 

 Stamens far fhorter than the corolla. Style clubbed, twice 

 longer than germen. Perfeftly hardy ; and flowers about July 

 or Auguft. 



There are two Auftrian fpecimens in the Bankfian Her- 

 barium, the one with a naked, the other with a pubefcent 

 Item; the former is figured in Jacquin, and is a flenderer 

 {'mailer plant, but we can hardly think them fpecifically 

 different. G.
