phur colour, with a yellow mark near the base. Sta- 

 mens about 60, about the length of the style : filaments 

 very slender, smooth, pale yellow ; pollen golden yellow. 

 Germen downy. Style smooth and bent a little near 

 the base, thickening upwards. Stigma capitate, slightly 

 3-lobed, papillose. 



The present plant is nearly related to H. sulphur eum, 

 but differs sufficiently in habit, and in its woolly calyx, 

 the calyx of H. sulphureum being glossy, and nearly 

 smooth. The present is a very proper plant for adorn- 

 ing rock- work, or to grow in small pots, and will stand 

 the severity of our Winters in the open air without pro- 

 tection, continuing in bloom the greater part of the Sum- 

 mer ; it succeeds well in a light sandy soil, or a mix- 

 ture of sandy loam and peat will suit it very well. 

 Young cuttings, planted under hand-glasses, in Autumn, 

 strike root immediately. 



Our drawing was made from a plant at the Nursery 

 of Mr. Colvill, King's-road, Chelsea.
