campanulate : the twbe short, yellow both within and with- 
out, as is the margin of the mouth : limb spreading, of five 
oval, even, somewhat acute, faintly striated segments, of a 
most beautiful and vivid purplish-blue. Filaments much 
protruded, white, dilated, yellow and hairy at the base. 
Anthers large, roundish, nearly white. Style also protruded. 
Stigmas often only two. 
This is a most desirable addition to our gardens, for 
which we are indebted to Mr. Drummonp, who gathered it 
on the highest of the Rocky Mountains, where it is rare, 
and varied with white flowers. It is perfectly hardy, easily 
cultivated, flowering during the month of July, and bearing 
a profusion of blossoms of a much richer colour than any 
hitherto known species of the Genus. 
In size it comes nearest to P. Richardsoni*, (Bot. Mag. 
t. 2800,) but is more tufted in its growth, having smaller 
and shorter leaflets, numerous and ascending stems, much 
smaller and differently coloured flowers with their segments 
greatly narrower and truly oval. There is no question but 
it will soon become general in our gardens. The bright 
colour of the blossoms is retained long after the plant 
is dried.

* Since that Species was published, I haye received from Dr. Fiscner the 
same plant, marked P. speciosum, Fiscner, MSS., gathered by LanesporFr 
in the islands of St. Paul and St. Lawrence :—and again I have another spe- 
cies from the same liberal friend, a native of Kamtschatka, marked “ P. 
lanatum,” which I can only distinguish from P. Richardsoni, by its more 
downy leaves. P. moschatum, Wormsxioutn'’s MSS., in my Herbarium, I 
am disposed to refer also to P. Richardsoni.
