seen the leaves nearly so broad in proportion to their 

 length as they are represented in the figure in the Botanist's 

 Repository. The plant described and figured by Columna, 

 which is quoted as a synonym by Linn^us,, is so different 

 from Jacquin's,, that this author expresses a doubt of its 

 being the same, though he speaks confidently of his own, 

 being the same species as that of Linnaeus. 



A hardy perennial. Native of Austria. Flowers in May 

 and June. Cultivated according to Donn in 1805. Com- 

 municated by Mr. Anderson from the Chelsea garden.
