D. intermedium, Supri, fol. 1963. 



Var. ccerulescens ; caule glabro, petiolis foliisque subtus bracteis pedicellisque 

 pilosis, racemo lonaissimo ramoso. 



A third and very striking variety of Delphinium inter- 

 medium (see fol. 1963 and 1969), with the palest flowers of 

 any I am acquainted with, and perhaps also the tallest stem. 

 It has rather smaller flowers than the kind last figured, its 

 leaves and leaf-stalks are downy, especially the former on 

 the under side, and there are many weak long hairs on the 

 bracts and pedicels. These circumstances shew how un- 

 important is the hairiness of the leaves, stem, and flowers, in 

 this genus. 



The leaves have their base decidedly truncate, as in the 

 supposed species D. palmatifidum, which has already been 

 shewn (fol. 1963) to be a simple variety of D. intermedium. 



Our drawing was made in the garden of the Horticultural 

 Society, in July, 1836.
