Schizanthus Grahamii. Gillies MSS. 



In addition to the two Schizanthi already given in most 

 of our botanical periodical publications, two species have 

 lately been raised from seeds brought from Chili by Dr. 

 Gillies, in the garden of Mrs. Boog, at Portobello ; the 

 subject of the present plate, with which we have been 

 favoured with a drawing by Dr. Greville, and one, the S. 

 Hookeri of its discoverer, hereafter to be figured : and if we 

 are correct in considering the Schizanthus represented in 

 the following plate as a distinct species, a third additional 

 kind is now known to us.

From a-xgp, to cleave, and «i<0o?, a flower, in reference to the divisions of 



the corolla.
