point, curved, downy. _ Calyx quinquepartite, pubescent. 
Corolla beautiful purple, personate, tube elongated, inside 
of the lips more inclming to blue; palate large, pale red- 
dish-purple, pubescent. 
Seeds of this beautiful little plant gathered by M. Mutter 
on rocks at Laconi, in Sardinia, were sent by the German 
Travelling Society, or “‘ Unio Itineraria” to Dr. Granam, 
in 1828 ; and the specimens from which the above descrip- 
tion is taken, were raised from those seeds, and blossomed 
in the Edinburgh Botanic Garden, in June, 1829. The 
ag: has hitherto been protected during winter in a frame, 
ut in all probability it will bear our climate in a shel- 
tered situation, and would prove a much more ornamental 
species than our L. Cymbalaria, to which it is allied in habit. 
Linaria pubescens, L. pilosa, and L. hepaticefolia belong « 
to the same natural groupe, distinguished by their procum- 
bent, herbaceous, filiform stems, broadly cordate leaves, 
Viviant, who first described this species, gives, as a station 
~ it, moist rocks upon the mountain “ della Trinita” in 
rsica, SESS
