ing flowered last year at Highclere, varying in coUmr so as

" The other umbel of the mule from Rhodora has become 

 almost white, the yellow fading, but shews a little tinge of 

 purple. I observe that its calyx is less obsolete than that of 

 Az. Pontica, and its limb shorter in proportion to the tube 

 and the segments narrower." — Herbert MSS.
