"I think," says, Sir W. J. Hooker, "there can be Httle doubt 

 of the correctness of the above synonymes. Novi^, that I have 

 seen the Hving plant, I have no hesitation in referring it to the 

 Thermopsis rhombifolia of Dr. Richardson. Thus it appears 

 to have a very extended range, being found in the north-eastern 

 parts of Asia ; and in north America, on both sides of the Rocky 

 Mountains; but no where, as it appears, on the east side of that 

 vast continent. It was introduced to this country through the 

 Horticukural Society, having been sent by Mr. Douglas from 

 dry channels of mountain torrents, in the valleys of the Cordil- 

 leras, near the Columbia River. It is cultivated in the green- 

 house of the Glasgow Botanic Garden, where it flowers in 

 May : but Dr. Lindley speaks of it as a good herbaceous plant, 

 readily increased by the division of its creeping roots ; and it 

 will probably prove quite a hardy plant." The stem is herba- 

 ceous, erect, simple, or branched only upwards, somewhat an- 

 gular, and quite glabrous below. The leaves are trifoliate, 

 petiolate; leaflets obovate, approaching to rhomboid, distinctly 

 veined ; glabrous above, and slightly downy beneath. The ra- 

 ceme is composed of several yellow flowers, about the size of 

 those of the laburnum. [Dot. Mag., Oct.)
