ceolate, equal. Corolla of a brilliant purplish-blue colour, 
glandular externally : tube inflated above, upper lip with 
two straight, lower with three reflexed, oblong lobes. Faux 
hairy. Filaments curved : Anthers cordate, purplish-white: 
Barren filament with a sharp tooth at the base, and there 
white, purple at the extremity, and thickly clothed above 
with long brown hairs. Doveuas. 
In point of colour, this is perhaps the most beautiful of 
all the numerous species of this Genus lately detected n 
North-west America by Mr. Dovetas, and it is equally 
hardy with the rest. The flowers, not large, are first ofa 
rich ultramarine colour, gradually, as the flower becomes 
more expanded, the outside especially becomes of a deep 
rales whilst the inside is much more inclined to azure 
ue. | 
Discovered by Mr. Doveuas growing plentifully among 
limestone rocks on the high mountains about the Grand 
Rapids of the Columbia River, at the distance of one hun- 
dred and forty miles from the ocean ; and by him introduced 
in 1826 to the Horticultural Society, whence our specimen 
was communicated in June 1828. |
