viscbsa Gill. # Hook. clamray-herbaged 36 ? * ? | or 3 au Y Chile 1832. C lt.l 



A very pleasing species ; spineless, of upright growth and elegant leaves, 



which consist of from 9 to 14 pairs of small oblong crenated leaflets ; the 



flowers are produced 8 or 10 in a raceme, which, where present, terminates a 



branch ; the corolla is of a rich gamboge yellow, and large for the genus. 



Messrs. Allen and Rogers, nurserymen, Chelsea and Battersea, have raised 



the A. viscosa. (The British Flower-Gar den, March.)

Is elegant from the number of its flowers and their variegated colour. 

 Leaves much like those of L. bicolor. It produces freely flowers and seeds, 

 and is a desirable ornament of the garden. The Horticultural Society has 

 already distributed seeds of it. (Bentham, in Hort. Trans., 2d ser. i. 410.) 

 ;densiflorus Benth. dense-inflor. O or § jl.s W.Pk California 1833. S s.l Hort. trans.2.s. 1.410 

 Leaves of about nine leaflets, covered with fine soft hairs. The flowers 

 grow in whorls which nearly touch each other ; the corollas are white, deli- 

 cately stained with pink; they are also a little speckled at the base of the 

 vexillum. L. densiflorus probably requires shade. (Bentham, in Hort. Trans., 

 2d ser. i. 410.) 



28462a albifrons Benth. hozry-herbaged *_Jor3§s.n Dp.B California 1833. C s.l Bot. reg.1642 

 Very near L. ornatus ; from which it differs in its shrubby habit, short leaves, long and slender 

 racemes, and rather smaller deep blue flowers. {Benth. in Hort. Trans. 2d ser. i. 410.) 



The flowers are in racemes 1 ft. in length. " Although not so handsome as 

 L. ornatus, it is well deserving of cultivation. It is not, perhaps, hardy 

 enough to bear the rigour of our winters without protection ; but it seems to 

 thrive in a glass pit, and would probably succeed in the front of a south wall, 

 covered from wet in winter. It seems not to seed freely, and does not 

 increase readily by cuttings. (Bot. Reg., figure in Jan., text in Feb.) 

 . leptophyllus Benth. narrow-leaffefed' O or 1 jl.s B.Li California 1833. S s.l Hort.fr.2.s.lAll 



A species not so pretty as many others. It is remarkable for its narrow 

 leaflets and hairy surface. The corollas are elegantly coloured with bluish- 

 lilac, and there is a deep crimson stain in the middle of the standard. The 

 species probably delights in shade. (Bentham, in Hort. Trans., 2d. ser. 1.411.)

 hirsutissimus Benth. most bairy-herbaged O cu § ? jl.s P.R California 1833. S s.l 



Interesting botanically. Its leaves are spotted with pale green, in the man- 

 ner those of a Pulmonaria are with white ; the corollas are of a reddish purple 

 colour. (Bentham, in Hort. Trans., 2d ser. 1.411.)

A handsome plant. The leaves are stalked and arrow-shaped, and are dis- 

 posed in pairs at intervals along the branches : these are long, slender, and 

 twining. The flowers, which are yellow, each as broad as a shilling, and of 

 five fringed petals, are placed, from three to five together, in an umbel. The 

 umbels are stalked, and in pairs, from the axils of the opposite leaves. " The 

 different species of this genus are common in Brazil." S. aristatum is figured 

 from the stove of Mrs. Marryatt of Wimbledon, who had received it under the 

 name of Banisten'a auriculata ; " which is quite another species, but of the 

 same genus."
