simple pedicels in each cleft, the one ascending and first 
expanded, the other spreading and deflected. Calyx-seg- 
ments elliptical, the lowest narrower and more acute, the 
upper ones the shortest. Corolla sulphur-coloured, except: 
the inferior half of the lower lip, which is white ; upper lip 
very small; /ower one large, many-nerved, linear, com- 
pressed, turned upwards, so as with its retuse extremity to 
touch the upper lip till fully expanded, when it is separated 
from it a little way, the opening into the lower lip large ; 
at its base, on the inside, there is a tuft of long hairs, every- 
where else the pubescence on the corolla is very short, and 
at the extremity of the lower lip, it is almost absent. Sta- 
mens erect, the lower lobes of the large yellow anthers pro- 
jecting from the apex of the upper lip. Style rather longer 
than the stamens, slightly curved downwards at the apex, 
compressed laterally, withering. Stigma small, two-lipped. 
Germen pubescent, pyramidal, grooved on its four sides, 
bilocular : ovules numerous, placed on large, undivided, 
central placente. 
Ruiz and Payon state this species of Carcronarta to be a 
native of rocky places in Canta; and we obtained the seeds 
from which our plants were raised, through the kind atten- 
tion of Mr. Crucksuanxs, from Cullnay, in the same pro- 
vince of Peru. They were sown in spring, and the first 
spcimens came into flower towards the end of July. It is 
an extremely pretty addition to the already-cultivated spe- 
cies, (now fifteen in all, exclusive of the hybrids, and of 
the narrow-leaved variety of C. integrifolia) resembling 
in colour the pleasing, subdued tint of C. scabiosefolia.
