and which is not inappropriate to this form, where the pedicels 
are as long as the axis of the fruiting raceme, except that, in 
the cultivated and some wild specimens, the raceme elongates 
in fruit to the length of three or four inches, as in the suc 
ceeding.

— This appears to be a truly perennial species, and is remark- 
able for its strongly toothed leaves, as well as for the matted, 
extremely fine and close-pressed, silvery pubescence which 
clothes them. ‘The upper surface of the older leaves, how-

lines long.
