Srevia hyssopifolia. Herbar. Banks. 
This species of Srevia is different from any that has been 
noticed by Professor Cavanitues. It was brought from 
Spain by Lady Hotzanp, some years ago, and our drawing 
was taken at Holland-House. A specimen of the same plant 
was sent to Sir Josepu Banks, and is preserved in his Her- 
barium, under the title which we have adopted. 
We suppose it to be a native of Mexico, and, as well as 
Stevia Eupatoria, may be considered as a hardy herbaceous 
- perennial. Flowers in August and September. |
