very divaricate ; caulinfe leaves sessile, half slcnvclaspin^, 

 lower ones more, the upper less deeply toothed. Flowers 

 sessile and, for the most part, solitary. 



Communicated by Messrs. Loddiges and Sons, who raised 

 it from seeds received from Caucasus. It is a hardy biennial. 

 Propagated by parting its roots, or by seeds ; but it seems 

 doubtful whether these will be perfected in this country. 

 Flowers in July and August.
