Leaves alternate, nearly sessile, partially divided into 5 un- 

 equal lobes, somewhat trapeziform, acute, deeply toothed ; the 

 upper surface of a deej) green, assuming, when old, a purple cast; 

 the under surface of a very light green. This new and highly 

 ornamental species of ^conitum, a native of China and probably 

 also of Japan, was introduced by Dr. Von Sieboldt, about 1833. 

 " It is remarkably bold and handsome in its habits, and the 

 flowers are very large, and of a most beautiful blue colour; the 

 terminal flowers expand first, and shortly after a great number 

 of flowers are produced from the axil of every leaf, on short 

 lateral shoots, even down to the base of the stem ; which gives it 

 a very interesting appearance. It remains in flower about two 

 months, and will, no doubt, prove perfectly hard}'. It is of very 

 easy culture, and, from its ornamental character, is well adapted 

 for the flower-garden. It ripens seeds freely, and is also easily 

 increased by division of the roots." There are plants in the 

 Epsom Nursery. {Paxt. Mag. of Dot,, Feb.)
