The ftipulas in this plant, if any, are fo deciduous, that, 

 when the plant is in flower, they are not feen, on which 

 account we have omitted them in the fpecific characler and 

 added the more diftinguifhing mark of the pendulous feed-pods. 

 It is properly an herbaceous perennial, for, although the lower 

 part of the ftem becomes woody, it perifhes to the ground 

 every year ; is a much handfomer growing plant than the Coro- 

 nilla varia; the root furvives our common winters in the open 

 ground, unlefs the foil be too wet. Is a native of the fouthern 

 mountains of Europe. Propagated by feeds. Flowers in the 

 Summer months. Introduced in 1776 by Profefibr Jacquin. 

 Our drawing was taken at Mr. Salisbury's Botanic Garden, 

 Brompton.
