 with rose and blue flowers ; appearing in August and Sept. ; a native of Mexico ; increased by

A new and pretty species of lupin, found by Mr. Hartweg 

 in Mexico, on Chimborazo, at an elevation of 13,000 feet above 

 the level of the sea. It proves to be a half hardy annual, 

 treated like other lupins, but possesses a branching habit. 

 The seeds should be sown as early as February or March, 

 and the plants turned out into the border in May, where they 

 flower abundantly in summer and autumn. The flowers 

 are fragrant, and smell like those of the sweet pea. — {Bot.
