library, at Berlin. It is particularly remarkable, by the 
flowers growing in dense spikes of half-whorls, looking all 
one way, and supported at the back by a double rowof 
round ovate mucronate bractes. 
According to the Hortus Kewensis, it was introduced, in 
1789, by Ricuarp Moreswortu, Esq. and was, for some 
years after, more frequently met with in our gardens, than 
of late; but we believe no coloured figure of it has been 
before published. 
A hardy annual, worthy of cultivation, both for its 
remarkable aspect and pleasant aromatic scent. Flowers 
from June to August. Communicated by the late Mr. 
Water, of Arno’s Grove, in August 1823.
