Hook., Sond.) 
~ A slender, strongly aromatic, canescent shrub, with leaves like those of ‘ Southern 
Wood” (Artemisia Abrotanum). It chiefly differs from P. incisum in the petals and 
pubescence, and from P, exstipulatum in the multifid leaves. Flowers white, the 
two upper petals with a red spot, or rosy. Cavanille’s figure is very bad. 
83. P. incisum (Willd.! Sp. 3. p.686); suffruticose, densely branched, 
the branches rough with the bases of old leaves ; leaves shortly petiolate, 
tri-partite, the segments pinnatifid or multifid, with linear, ob- 
tuse lobules; stipules minute, deltoid, slightly adnate; peduncles few- 
flowered, with oblong bracts ; calyx tube sub-sessile, 4 times as long as 
the lanceolate, acute segments; upper petals longer than the lower. DC.

preceding, to which this species is allied.

leaves velvetty (small), roundish-ovate, obtuse, truncate at base, three- 
lobed, the lobes cuneate, inciso-crenate, the lateral ones small ; stipules 
very minute, adnate ; peduncles elongate, few-flowered, with ovate,
