GENERIC CHARACTER, } Da 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Perhaps no tender annual is more worthy of being generally mon both for the greenhouse 
and the flower-borders, than Lobelia heterophylla, The graceful slenderness and waviness of its 
branches tend much to AR to the charms of its peculiarly € flowers, and to give it a power 
of arresting interest which few others posse 
Of this very showy little plant we o x now to submit a figure of a new and superior rer 
which exhibits the characteristics of the species in every material respect but in the greater size 
Of all its parts. Stems, leaves, and flowers, but especially the last, are all considerably Zeg and 
we fancy from the specimens we have witnessed, that the blossoms are borne rather more prodigally. 
Mr. Low, of Clapton, on seeds of this alt from the Swan River Colon ony in the year 1840. 
Having been sown in the Clapton Nursery, they germinated, and the plants flowered in great per- 
fection last summer, when the accompagnying figure was made.
