Seeds of this handsome plant were gathered in Persia, 

 and presented by Sir Henry Willock to the Horticultural 

 Society, in whose garden a plant or two flowered about 

 Midsummer last year. The shoots spring, with very few 

 branches, straight from the ground, and rise to the height 

 of two or three feet. They and the leaves are covered over 

 with a dense bloom, which contrasts agreeably with the deep 

 yellow of the showy flowers. 



It has not produced seeds ; but as it is perennial, it may 

 probably be increased without difficulty, by dividing the 

 crow^ of its roots.
