Corolla was purple with a white lip; which probably arose 
from confounding our grandiflora (No. 635) with Tourns- 
ForT’s plant, the subject of our present article, which has 
yellow downy flowers. There is again a variety of this which 
has leaves, not only tomentose and pale as in ours, but of a 
snowy white underneath. 
A tolerably hardy perennial. Native of Barbary and the 
Levant. Flowers in July and August. Cultivated by Pup 
Mitier in 1729. Communicated by Messrs. Wurtter, 
Brame, and Mitns, at the Fulham Nursery, who raised it 
from seeds sent from Constantinople by Lapy Liston.
