V. Drummondi. Hort. 



A beautiful perennial of hardy habit, with delightfully 

 sweet-scented flowers, recently introduced from Louisiana, 

 where it was found by the late Mr. Thomas Drummond, 

 from whom I have native specimens. 



The drawing was made in July last, in the richly stocked 

 collection of the Messrs. Rollinsons of Tooting. 



A plant in every way so desirable as this, and so easily 

 cultivated, should be found in every garden of pretty 

 flowers. 



Tlie Verbena Lamberti var. rosea of the British Flower 

 Garden, stated to have been found by Mr. Drummond in 

 Texas, seems a diff'erent plant from this, and if so there are 

 two sorts of Verbena Drummondi in the Gardens.
