Drawn from a plant which flowered in the open border 
in the Edinburgh Botanic Garden in the month of June, — 
It is a native of Dahuria, and was named by our valued 
friend Dr. Fiscuer, and by him introduced to our gardens. — 
It is equally deserving of cultivation with the L. pumilum 
and very nearly resembles it: so much so, that except in 
the presence of the downy rima at the claw (which is indeed 
a very distinct character,) I scarcely know how it is to be 
distinguished. It is described in Scuutres’ Syst. Veget. as 
having patent petals: and such is the case with the dried 
specimens communicated to me by Dr. Fiscuer ; but it 
appears that as the flower is more advanced in age, the 
tals become revolute, as in L. pumilum, and as represented 
im our figure.
