This is a lovely variety of the Delphinium iatermedium 

 figured in the last number of the present work. It grows 

 seven feet high in rich ground, with a firm stem of a delicate 

 glaucous green, its leaves are thin and destitute of the 

 smallest trace of hairiness, while its long branched racemes 

 of nodding sky-blue flowers give a most graceful appear- 

 ance to the terminations of the branches. 



It differs from the common form of the species in the 

 perfect nakedness even of the leaves, and in the lobes of the 

 small hairy lateral petals being more rounded and perhaps 

 shorter than usual. 



The drawing was made in the garden of the Horticultural 

 Society in July, 1836.
