Erysimum lanceolatummajus and minus appear to us to 
be rather distinct species than varieties, but we do not 
yenture to deviate from the authority of Dz Canpouzz, 
particularly as all authors agree that these plants are ex- | 
tremely subject to variation. From the Curtrantuus alpinus 
of Jacquin our plant differs in beg ascendent, not erect. — 
’'The pubescence both in the cultivatéd and wild state is | 
simple, not bipartite; the flowers are much larger and— 
most charmingly fragrant, which in Jacquin’s plant are 
described to be without scent ; the claws of the petals in — 
our plant are much longer than the calyx, but in the other 
only equal to it.. The figures quoted from Axzion1 are 
good representations of our plant in its native state; under 
cultivation it is sometimes branched, but is always of 
humble growth, never “upright-and from one to three feet 
high.” From its delicate sulphur-coloured flowers, as well 
as their charming fragrance, it is a plant well worth a place 
in the flower-garden, and is particularly adapted for orna- 
menting rock-work. : 
Native of the Alps both in the south and north of Europe.
