filaments oblong, brownish-yellow: of the fivelonger, roundish, 
saffron-coloured. Stigma villous. Legumen arched, hairy, 
with about six hollows for the seeds, which are often abortive, 
very small, kidney-shaped, not compressed, shining, yellow 
spotted, and shaded with black: hylum large, terminal, hollow, 
with a small nipple-like projection at the margin. 
This plant, if nailed against a wall, is as hardy as the 
yellow Tree-Lupin, and will live through our winters very 
well. Flowers in May, and perfects its seed in the Autumn ; 
will flower from seed the first year. 
Communicated by Mr. Anperson from the Chelsea garden, 
where it was introduced by Mr. Ler, of the Hammersmith 
Nursery, who informs us it was first raised in Somersetshire 
from the seed of Lurinus perennis or nootkatensis, with the 
latter of which particularly it appears to have a very near 
affinity.
