gibbous bases of the outer petals. Cal. of two extremely 
minute, subulate, deciduous, opposite leaves. The Corolla 
is nearly heart-shaped in the greater part of its outline, 
from the base upwards: its outer petals being each very 
gibbous at the base, and presenting a rounded, straight, 
but short spur, the apex spreading; the two immer and 
lateral petals narrow, linear, keeled or winged at the back 
above, behind is a depression which receives the stigma 
and anthers. Stamens six, free to the base, three on each 
side of the pistil : Filaments long, white, the central one of 
the three on each side the broadest: Anthers small, yellow. 
Pistil : Germen green, subulate, tapering into a rather short 
style and crowned by the dilated, truncated, compressed 
and grooved stigma, which is generally loaded with the 
yellow pollen from the anthers. 
Living specimens of this delicate and interesting plant, 
sent from Canada by Mr. CxeeHorn, and which have 
flourished in the Botanic Garden of Glasgow, have satis- 
fied me that Mr. Goxpie is perfectly correct in considering 
it as quite a distinct species, and that I have been wrong in 
the “ Flora Bor. Americana” in referring it to a state 
of Dietytra eximia. 
As far as I am aware, it is quite unknown in any British 
garden, save that just mentioned ; nor have I ever seen 
dried specimens, except those gathered by Mr. Goxpre in 
Canada. Yet none of the family of Fumarracez deserves 
better to be cultivated. Being still scarce in the Glasgow 
Botanic Garden, the able curator, Mr. Murray, has hitherto 
kept it in a cool frame during the winter, where it flowered 
in April of the present year, 1830.
