V. sulphurea. Don in Siceefs Flower Garden, ser. 2. t. 221. 



A pretty hardy perennial, with hairy stems spreading flat 

 upon the ground, and heads of sulphur-coloured flowers. 



Although not so conspicuous for its beauty as Verbena 

 chamgedrifolia (V. Melindres of this work, t. 1184.) it is 

 nevertheless a neat pretty species, which deserves a place 

 in all select collections. 



It is a native of Chile, flowering in August, September, 

 and November. Cuming found it near Valparaiso (No. 519) ; 

 Bridges on the mountains near the same city. It is very 

 nearly the same as V. erinoides, from which it differs in liavino* 

 yellow instead of purple flowers, and more particularly in 

 the low^er lobes of its leaves originating from tlie very base 

 of the leaf, and not from near the point.
