reflexed. Calyx pubescent. Alee shorter than the vexUlum : 

 Carina shorter than the alae. Filaments all united at the 

 base, but one of them farther distinct than the rest. Pollen 

 orange -coloured. Legumen somewhat curved, linear, pen- 

 dulous. 



The Galega orientalis does not occur in the first edition 

 of Aiton's Hortus Kewensis, being introduced in the year 

 1801, since the publication of that work by the late Right 

 Hon. Sir Joseph Banks, Bart, whose death will be long la- 

 mented, as an irreparable loss, particularly to the whole 

 Botanical world. In our nurseries it has often gone by the 

 name of Galega montana, under which it still stands in the 

 last editions of Loddidges and Donn's Catalogues. 



We have not seen any representation of this plant, the 

 figure quoted from the supplement to the Flora taurico-cau- 

 casica in the second volume of the Century of rare Russian 

 plants by M. Marschall, not having as yet come to hand. 



It was first described by Lamarck in the Encyclopedic 

 Botanique from a specimen collected by Tournefort, and 

 preserved in Jussieu's Herbarium. 



Native of the subalpine woods of Caucasus and of the 

 Levant. Flowers from June to August. 



A hardy perennial, not undeserving a place in the flower 

 garden. Our drawing was taken from a plant communicated 

 by Mr. Jenkins from his Botanic garden in the New Road ; 

 our description from one with which we were favoured by 

 Messrs. Loddiges and Sons in June 1807, under the specific 

 name of montana.
