of the species, is persuaded. that it was propagated from an 
individual, named longum, by Mr. Haworrs himself; but if 
it be really. his longum, then the length of the peduncle can 
afford no character: for he expressly says, the peduncle is 
longer than the:calyx); and in.the figures which he, doubtingly 
indeed, quotes, they are represented as much longer. We 
consider the figure of Dittentus, quoted as a synonym of 
depressum, as pretty certainly belonging to our plant, though 
the flower is not quite sessile, as in our figure, and we have 
been thence induced to determine its name. 
- We have, however, strong suspicions, that nearly the 
whole section will be found, if propagated by seed, to run 
into one another, which will bring us back to rank them 
all as varieties of linguiforme, as Linnaus has done. 
We are informed by Mr. Geores Graves, that it is not 
ery shy of flowering in the summer time, and that the 
‘blossoms expand m the forenoon, if the sun shine; but in 
cloudy weather, not at all. The leaves are remarkably brittle, 
and, when viewed through a lens, are observed to be covered 
with minute pellucid dots. Flowers in July and August.
