126. CODONOPSIS lurida ; foliis cordatis serratis pilosiusculls utrinque 

 concoloribus, calycis tubo nuUo, sepalis rhomboideis serrulatis ciliatis tubo 

 corollse sequalibus basi integerrimis. 



A foetid twining milking annual, with large green flowers 

 slightly dotted with purple in the inside. It is a native of 

 the northern parts of India, whence seeds were sent to the 

 Horticultural Society by Dr. Falconer. As a twining Cam- 

 panulaceous plant it is closely allied to Canarina ; but it has 

 none of its beauty. 



127. SALVIA Moorcroftiana. Wall.—Benth. Lab. -p. 228. 



This plant has been raised in the garden of the Horticul- 

 tural Society, from seeds sent from India by Dr. Falconer ; 

 it proves a herbaceous species resembling S. Sclarea, with 

 very large leaves, cordate at the base, woolly underneath, and 

 pale light blue flowers about one-half the size of that species. 



128. CYNOGLOSSUM glochididium. Wall.—Benth. in Royle's lUustr. 

 p. 306. 



A straggling herbaceous plant about three feet high, of a 

 loose inelegant mode of growth, and not much covered with 

 leaves, which are sessile, ovate, oblong, acute, and bright 

 green. The flowers are rather small, but of a most intense 

 blue, and therefore well suited to gather for the sake of orna- 

 menting sitting-rooms. It is quite hardy, and was raised by 

 the Horticultural Society from seeds sent from India by Dr. 

 Falconer. 



129. APLOTAXIS albescens. DC. prodr. vi. 540. 



A handsome herbaceous plant, native of the northern 

 provinces of India, whence it has been lately introduced by 

 the East India Company, through Dr. Falconer. It forms a 

 bush about three feet high, with long lanceolate deep green 

 leaves, hoary with down on the under-side. The flower- 

 heads are arranged in a panicled manner, and are narrow, 

 with pale bright purple blossoms. 



130. M ALVA lucida ; annua, glaberrima, lucida, foliis superioribus cuneatis 

 serratis rotundatis trilobis basi integerrimis cordatis, floribus axillaribus fasci- 

 culatis, calycibus reticulatis.
