A very remarkable and distinct little species, readily distinguished by its long rhi- 

 zome, many scapes and radical leaves, pairs of opposite leaves on the scape, which 

 is simple or branched, long linear erect bracts, large, very broad, pale blue-grey 

 flower, and very short broad spur.

A most distinct species, conspicuous for its size, robust habit, glaucous hue, brittle 

 texture when old, and its curious subulate bracts, lanceolate- subulate sepals, recurved 

 tips to the outer petals, very large siliquse with rigid persistent pungent styles, and 

 large seeds. It varies extremely in the size and cutting of the leaf-lobes. Jacque- 



d with C t Gortsckakovii. It is nearly
