or petioles of the larger ones. Flowers in dense umbellate 
corymbs, large and shewy, outer ones the most so; at first 
frequently rose-coloured, afterwards (and sometimes al- 
ways) pure white; yielding a disagreeable odour. Pedicels 
downy. Calyx of four, erecto-patent, oblong, pubescent 
leaflets, of which that placed between the two smaller 
petals is always the smallest. Petals patent, waved, the 
two outermost very large. Stamens much longer than the 
calyx: Filaments swollen upwards, the four longer ones 
reddish: Anthers small, yellow. Pistil: Germen ovate, 
compressed, style rather longer than the stamens: Stigma 
capitate, notched. 
This is an equally desirable plant for the garden, and 
especially for rock-work, with the I. zana. In the Glasgow 
Botanic Garden, to which the seeds were sent, by Professor 
TEnore, we find it does best, treated as a semi-hardy plant ; 
being kept under a frame in winter, when it produces its 
long-lived blossoms of a pale rose colour, or of the 
purest white in April and May. It is much handsomer 
than Inzris ciliata, figured in this work (tab. 1030), with 
which it has some affinity ; but the flowers are considerably 
larger, as are the leaves ; these latter too are larger and 
most decidedly toothed or crenated. 
Discovered by Professor Trenore (from whom I have 
also received native specimens), in the Neapolitan do- 
minions. M. Tomas detected it near St. Angelo, in the 
prs  eos M. Scuoner upon Mount Vellino, near 
ZZO. | _ ;
