was raised. The flowers when fully expanded are white, 

 but in drying change into azurean blue. It agrees very well 

 with the description of Sid a vitifolia of DeCandoUe's Pro- 

 dromus, vol. 1. p. 471. 



" The flowers are large, as stated by DeCandoUe, but not 

 rose coloured, in our plant. It may however vary as to 

 colour." 



From the specimens before me the leaves appear to be as 

 large as those of the Vine, and the flowers, which grow in 

 umbels, are fully three inches in diameter. A figure of it 

 will appear hereafter. 



115. SALVIA hians. Bentham Labiatarum Genera & Species, 219. 



A very fine species of Sage, with large deep blue flowers 

 and a white lip, resembling those of S. bicolor, but far more 

 handsome, and with coarsely wrinkled sagittate leaves. It 

 is a beautiful hardy perennial, for which we are indebted to 

 the Hon. Court of Directors of the East India Company. 

 Flowers in May and June, and grows about two feet high. 



116. TRirOLIUM involucratum. Willd. Benth. Plant. Eartweg. no. 54. 

 An herbaceous perennial plant with narrow leaves, loose 



prostrate shoots, and numerous heads of gay lemon-coloured 

 flowers, raised from the Mexican seeds of Mr. Hartweg, in 

 the garden of the Horticultural Society, proves to be this 

 species, by some confounded with T. ti^identatum. It is 

 pretty, and would make an excellent plant for rock-work. 



117. CLEOME lutea. Hooker Flora Boreali-Americana, 1. 70. t. 25. 



A very pretty neat herbaceous hardy plant, with a stem 

 about two feet high, quinate leaves, and terminal clustered 

 yellow flowers, with long stamens. It is described as an 

 annual, and probably would flower like one ; but it seems 

 rather to be a biennial. It has been raised in the garden of 

 the Horticultural Society, from seeds collected in North-west 

 America, and presented by H. Moreton Dyer, Esq. V.P.H.S.
