‘ Readily known by its long, very narrow, tapering, scarcely canescent leaves. They 
vary a little in breadth and in the toothing of the margin. The flowers are a bright, 
violet purple. ‘uit 
“118, P. tricolor (Cart. Bot. Mag. t. 240); stem shrubby, short, Branch- 
_ ing, diffuse, rough with the debris of old leaves ; leaves on long, slender 
petioles, villoso-canescent, lanceolate or oblong, inciso-dentate or lobed ; 
stipules subulate, adnate ; peduncles branching, the partial 2—3-flowered; 
bracts subulate; flowers on long pedicels, the calyx-tube shorter than 
the lanceolate-acuminate, villous sepals. DC. Prod. 1. p.657. Sw. Ger.

Has. Early introduced to England. Near the Gauritz River, Swell., Z. & Z./ 
Var. B. in the Winterhoek’s berg, Tulbagh, Z.&Z./ Witsenberg, Zeyher. (Herb. 
T.C.D., Hook., Sond.) 
Stem divided near the base into several tufted, sub-simple branches, 3~12 inches 
long. Whole plant covered with soft, short, appressed silky hairs which are often 
white; young branches and peduncles often villous. The two upper petals are gene- 
rally a very dark red, the 3 lower white ; sometimes the upper are coloured at the 
_ base only, where there is always a darker spot, rough with small tubercles. Our 
- var. 8. seems merely to differ in the colour of the petals and the starved condition 
of stem and leaves. It scarcely answers to the P. capillare, which is only known by 
Burman’s figure and description, copied by Cavanilles.
