This species is nearly related to Tuymus Serpyllum, but 
isa much larger plant, and like that, varies exceedingly 
in being more or less hairy. In our plant, the teeth of the 
calyx were for the most part purple coloured, which are 
described as green, except when in fruit. The corolla is 
nearly twice the length of the calyx. A hardy perennial. 
Flowers in July and August. Communicated by Mr. 
Anperson from the Chelsea Garden, who raised it from 
seeds received from Dr. Fiscuer.
