taurico-caucasica, all of which apply to our plant ; to these 

 may be added the corolla being uniformly ventricose with- 

 out the angles which appear in the corolla oitaurica. 



This species is described as having a number of simple 

 stems growing in an aggregate manner ; but in our plant 

 the lower part of the stem survived the preceding winter, 

 and the flowering stalk with several shoots were produced 

 from the top of it. Whether this circumstance was acci- 

 dental, or a permanent variety of the ordinary state of the 

 species we are not able to determine ; we cannot consider it 

 as specifically distinct.
