We have not found any thing said about this species, but 

 are informed that it was received from Vienna under the 

 name that we have adopted, by Mr. Anderson, of the Chelsea 



farden, where it flowered, and our drawing was taken in 

 une, 1819. But we find by a specimen from Philip 

 Miller, now in the Banksian Herbarium, that it was culti- 

 vated by him, and supposed to be Digitalis Thapsi. From 

 which, however, it seems to differ in many material points, as 

 in the leaves being of the same colour on both sides, supported 

 on long footstalks, not sessile; in the greater length of the 

 bractes; in the flowers not being secund or looking one way, 

 and of a brighter colour. These plants are, however, too 

 nearly allied, and perhaps may only be varieties of the same 

 species. 



A hardy biennial, propagated by seeds. Its native country 

 unknown.
