The variety mentioned at No. 1633, to have been received 

 from Mr. Loddiges was probably the same as our plant, 

 but upon referring to the specimen, we find that the leaves 

 in that are thinly scattered over with hairs, and the lobes 

 terminated with a bristle ; so that the total want of hairiness 

 in the leaves appears to have been the effect of cultivation. 



Native of Dahuria. A hardy biennial. Flowers in June 

 and July. Communicated by Mr. Anderson from the 

 Chelsea garden, where it was raised from seeds sent by 

 Dr. Fischer.
