That this Persian plant is, the same as the Armenian and 

 Dahnatian species, we cannot for an instant doubt. The 

 only distinction that Monsieur Chavannes, in his elaborate 

 and truly excellent monograph, was able to point out be- 

 tween them, consists in the greater length of the spur in this 

 form of the species. But in all other respects it is so identi- 

 cal with the others, that it does not appear to us advisable 

 to separate them even as varieties. 



The range of the plant, then, in its wild state, will be 

 from Dalmatia and Candia, in Europe, into Armenia and 

 Persia. 



It appears to be a hardy perennial.
