At the time I made the drawing of this well marked spe- 
` cies of Lobelia, and sent it to the engraver, I was not aware 
of its being, as I now find that it is, very satisfactorily figured 
in Cavanilles Icones: a work, however, of such rarity, that 
our readers will not be sorry to see it represented here. 
That author justly compares it with L. Colwmnee, Sm. £c. t. 
22; but that species has much narrower leaves, and a very 
differently shaped corolla.
