The prefent variety has been confidcred by Mr. Marschal 

 and fome others, as a diftincT: fpecies from latifolia ; but as no 

 charaQers, beyond thofe of fize and colour, have been adduced 

 Jo feparate the fpecies, we being unable to dete& any others, 

 have continued them as varieties. All are found on Caucafus ; 

 l he yellow in particular near Kafbek. The capfule is obtufe- 

 angular. Mr. Marschal obferves, that in garden fpecimens, 

 the leaves are more confpicuoufly alternate, or placed at wider 

 ^ftances from each other than in fpontaneous ones. For
