 peduncles erect ; tube of corolla longer than the calyx ; lateral 

 segments of the lower lip shorter than the middle one, which is 

 sagittate; upper segment rhomboid-oblong, retuse. Q. H. 

 Native of the Andes of Chili, Dr. Gillies. Plant lively green. 

 Leaves like those of the other species, deeply and interruptedly 

 pinnatifid, almost pinnate, similar to those of Tansy ; the seg- 

 ments lanceolate, rather blunt ; and the primary ones deeply 

 pinnatiiid. Corolla pale violet ; the lateral segments of an uni- 

 form lake colour, doubly 2-lobed ; the lobes blunt, unequal, 

 and divaricate ; lower lip of a deep reddish purple, tripartite ; 

 the lateral segments linear, obtuse : the upper segment of the 

 corolla yellow, marked with dark brown spots, veiny beneath, 

 the edges revolute, with a cucullate base ; the ends lilac.

 PI. 2 feet. 



4 S. HOOKE'RI (Gillies, mss. Graham, in edinb. phil. journ. 

 1830. Hook, in bot. mag. 3070.) pedicels erect; tube of 

 corolla much longer than the calyx, and about equal in length to 

 the limb ; middle segment of the lower lip bieornute, much 

 longer than the lateral ones, which are linear ; upper segment, 

 or upper lip long-acuminated. Q. H. Native of Chili. The 

 whole corolla is of a pale rose-colour, except the middle of the 

 upper segment, which is yellow. Leaves interruptedly bipinna- 

 tin'd, like those of the other species. 



Hooker's Schizanthus. Fl. June, Oct. Clt. 1828. PI. 2 

 feet. 



5 S. GRAHA'MII (Hook, in bot. mag. 3044.) fructiferous pe- 

 duncles erect ; tube of corolla equal in length to the calyx ; 

 lateral segments of the lower lip equal in length to the middle 

 one, which is bifid : upper lip or segment ovate, acuminated. 

 0. H. Native of Chili, Dr. Gillies. Lateral segments of the 

 corolla doubly bifid, obtuse, like those of other species, of a 

 lilac colour, as well as the lower lip : upper lip or segment 

 yellow, tipped with lilac. Leaves like those of the other species. 



Graham's Schizanthus. Fl. June, Oct. Clt. 1831. PI. 2 

 feet. 



Cult. Schizanthus is a genus of the most elegant, most 

 handsome, and showy annual plants. They succeed well if the 

 seed be sown in the open border early in spring ; or the plants 

 may be reared in autumn, and preserved in a greenhouse or 

 frame during winter if they are wanted to blossom early 

 in summer ; they may also be reared on a hot-bed in early 

 spring, and the sets in part planted out in the open border, and 

 the remainder grown singly in pots, and placed in the green- 

 house. A light fresh earth, not too rich, will be found to suit 

 the species best ; and if they are to be kept in the green- 

 house, a free admission of air and light is absolutely necessary 

 to preserve them in health and vigour, and to give the flowers 

 their proper tints of colour. 



XXIII. SCOPO'LIA (named in honour of John Anthony 

 Scopoli, a celebrated professor, and author of Methodus Planta- 

 rum, in 8vo. Vienna, 1754, Flora Carniolica, 1 vol. 8 vo. Vienna, 

 1760, and a second edition in 1772, and several other botanical 

 works.) Jacq. obs. 1. p. 32. t. 20. Scopolina Schultes, cestr. 

 fl. ed. 2d. vol. 1. p. 335. Hyocyamus Scopdlia, Lin. 



LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx campanulate, 5- 

 cleft, mutic. Corolla campanulate, 5-cleft, 3 times longer than 

 the calyx ; segments obtuse, rather deep. Stamens approxi- 

 mate, bent towards the lower side of the corolla. Capsule cir- 

 cumcised, or opening transversely. Seeds reniform, scabrous. 

 An erect, glabrous plant, with many stems rising from the 

 same root, which are bifid at top. Leaves petiolate, wrinkled a 



little, alternate, solitary, or twin. Flowers axillary, solitary, 

 pedunculate, drooping, rising from the twin leaves. Corollas 

 campanulate, dingy, or dusky purple. 



1 S. CARNIOLICA (Jacq. obs. 1. p. 32. t. 20.) TJ. . H. Native 

 of Carniola, Hungary, Bavaria, &c. in woods. Hyocyamus 

 Scopolia, Lin. spec. St. Hil. 20. t. 6. Sims, bot. mag. t. 

 1126. Scopolina atropoides, Schultes, oestr. fl. ed. 2d. no. 

 844. Rcem. et Schultes, syst. 4. p. 312. Leaves ovate-oblong, 

 entire : cauline ones alternate, solitary ; but those under the 

 fork of the stem are 3 in a whorl, or 3 together : on the 

 branches they are twin, having a solitary, pedunculate, drooping 

 flower rising from between each of the pairs of leaves. 



Carniolian Scopolia. Fl. April, May. Clt. 1780. PI. 1 foot. 



Cult. A light dry soil, and a shady situation suit this plant 

 best. It is very desirable, as it flowers early in spring when 

 very few hardy herbaceous border flowers are in blossom. It 

 is easily increased by divisions of the root. 



XXIV. PHYSOCHLA'INA (from fvea, physa, a bladder ; 

 and xXaiva, chlaina, an outer garment ; in reference to the in- 

 flated calyx.) Hyocyamus species of authors. 



LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx sub-inflated, 5- 

 toothed ; teeth ovate, obtuse. Corolla campanulately funnel- 

 shaped, widening gradually to the mouth, slightly 5-lobed ; lobes 

 short, obtuse. Stamens 5, exserted ; filaments fixed to the bot- 

 tom of the corolla, hairy at the base. Stigma dilated. Anthers 

 dehiscing lengthwise at the sides. Capsule similar to that of 

 Hyocyamus. Herbaceous perennial plants. Stems simple, many 

 from the same root. Leaves alternate, solitary, entire. Flowers 

 fascicled, capitately corymbose, terminal. Corollas dark purple. 



1 P. PHYSALOI'DES ; leaves petiolate, ovate, acute, somewhat 

 repand, or quite entire ; flowers pedicellate, terminal, capitately 

 corymbose ; genitals a little shorter than the corolla ; fructifer- 

 ous calyx inflated, angular, glabrous, mutic, much larger than 

 the capsule. If.. H. Native of several parts of Siberia, as 

 among rocks on the mountains at the river Tscharysch and 

 Irtysch ; and also on Mount Arkat, in the Kirghisean steppe.

 glabrous. Stems simple or branched, scaly at the base. Leaves

Physalis-like Physoclaina. Fl. March, April. Clt. 1777. 

 PI. 1 to 1 1 foot. 



2 P. ORIENTALS ; leaves petiolate, deltoid-ovate, repand, or 

 entire, acute, downy ; flowers pedicellate, fasciculately and capi- 

 tately corymbose ; genitals a little exserted ; fructiferous 

 calyx tumid, downy, mutic, much larger than the capsule. !{..

 amus orientalis, Bieb. fl. cauc. 1. p. 164. Sweet, fl. gard. t. 

 12. Sims, bot. mag. 2414. Hyocyamus orientalis betae folio 

 tuberosa radice, Tourn. cor. p. 5. Stem villous. Corolla pale 

 purplish-blue. This is very like P. physaloldes ; but differs in 

 the higher stature, and more robust habit ; in the herb being 

 pale green, and more downy ; the calyx being longer ; and in 

 the tube of the corolla widening gradually to the top ; in the 

 genitals being usually exserted ; and in the calyx being less in- 

 flated, and hardly twice as long as the capsule. 



Oriental Physoclaina. Fl. March, May. Clt. 1821. PI. 1 

 to 1^ foot. 



Cult. The species of Physochlaina are extremely desirable 

 plants; being early flowerers, and elegant when in blossom. 

 They will grow in any soil, and are readily propagated by divi-
