country, where they grow eight or nine inches long. Of 

 a considerable number of plants originally raised by Mr. 

 Munro, three only have survived, and they are not in good 

 health. It is, nevertheless, not a tender plant, death not 

 ensuing after hard frosts, or in consequence of exposure to 

 cold, but rather in the spring and summer, when it ought 

 to be in the full vigour of growth. It will scarcely bear 

 transplanting. 



As the first perennial Lupine with yellow flowers, it is 

 an object of much interest : we trust it will not, by inter- 

 mixture in our Gardens with purple-flowered species, lose 

 those original and beautiful characters that have been con- 

 ferred upon it by nature ; or that at least some of it will 

 continue to be preserved in its native purity.
