This species differs from Dierratis Thapsi, to which it is 
the most nearly allied, in its smaller stature ; in having smooth 
undulated leaves, the upper ones quite entire ; in its floral 
leaves being larger, generally exceeding the peduncle in 
length ; in a larger, more spreading calyx, in the upper lip 
of the corolla being more or less two-lobed, and in the middle 
lobe of the lower lip being very little longer than the lateral 
ones. ihn ‘ 
Dicrratis minor is a rare plant, and we believe no figure 
of it has ever been before published. Native of Spain. In- 
troduced in 1789 by Mr Jonn Hunneman. Our drawing 
was taken several years ago at the garden of the late 
Mr. Woonvrorn at Vauxhall.
