 This plant well known in our gardens, grows to the height of 

 2 or 3 teet. Its leaves are of more delicate texture, always longer 

 nan-ower, and more deeply incised into acute segments thaS in 

 the followmg species : they are 5 inches long, including the 

 petiole, on which they are decurrent, and U inch broad, or 7 

 hnes across at the base of the incisures. I observe a note upon 

 my drawings stating that !n this species,.the two lower stamens, 

 between which the sterile one is situated, form the longest pair 

 wnile m S. purpurea the same stamens form the shorter pair' 

 and I have found this in the dried specimens I have examined' 

 but 1 cannot at this distance of time assert it to be a fact of 



constant occurrence.

This plant seldom exceeds a height of 15 or 18 inches : it has 

 stronger and more woody stem, and may easily be distinguished
