white towards the faux. Stamens four : filaments twitted : 

 anthers purple, two-lobed, approximate : pollen white. Style 

 longer than corolla : fiigma bifid, acute. 



In young plants the leaves are rounder and lels hoary : in 

 the native fpecimens indeed the whole plant is more hoary than 



when cultivated. r 



Raifed by Mr. Loodices from feeds fent from Caucalus 

 under the name of Nepeta IVilldenowiana, by which title 

 fpecimens were fent to Sir Joseph Banks from the lame 

 country by Count Moussin Poushkin ; but Ventenats 

 name having the right of priority, we have adopted it. 



The plants in the garden of M. Cels were ra.fed from 

 feeds gathered on Mount Albours in Perfia, by Meffrs. Bru- 

 guiere and Olivier. 



Flowered in the Royal Garden at Kew in 1803. 



Propagated by feeds and by cuttings. May be confiderea 

 as hardy, but it is fafeft to give the proteBion of a irame 

 during the winter. 



Flowers from May through the whole fummer.
