gardens are indebted for several rare and some new plants. 

 That from which our drawing was taken was raised from 

 this seed, and flowered last April in Lady Banks's garden,, 

 at Spring Grove. 



Digitalis orientalis differs from lanata in having a much 

 more lax spike of flowers, which grow alternately and dis- 

 tant, are paler coloured, and have less of the ferrugineous 

 reticulated marking within side, and none without; in having 

 the calyx and the whole outside of the corolla more pubes- 

 cent, but especially in having the upper and lateral seg- 

 ments rounded instead of pointed as in that ; the radical 

 and lower leaves are also much longer and narrower. 



It is an herbaceous perennial ; and we imagine must 

 require protection from severe frost.
