‘Sees, 
Pumonaria mollis is very nearly allied to angustifolia, the 
chief differences observed by authors being the proportion- 
ately greater length of the calyx, broader sinuses of the 
‘cinie of the corolla, and the softer more silky pubescence 
of the leaves ; but Mr. Jonn Denson, the very intelligent 
“urator of the botanic garden at Bury St. Edmunds, informs 
's, that these two plants are remarkably different in their 
Wot’ of growth ; angustifolia sending out its flowering 
Stems horizontally, close to the ground, and even when the 
°wers open being only moderately assurgent, whereas the 
of mollis are in all their stages quite erect. 
= hardy perennial. Native of the Pyrenees, particularly 
N Mount Llaurenti, in shady places. Communicated by 
'S. Hopson, Esq. to whose exertions the Bury garden 
if) : ° é ‘ 
Wes its existence and progressive advancement.
