 hairy corollas, with deeper-notched lobes. A hardy perennial."

 '* It is a graceful pretty species, and well deserves an attentive 

 examination." The figure is derived from the species in a flow- 

 ering state, with Messrs. Loddiges. It seems to require the close 

 atmosphere of a bell-glass : its tufts are readily formed under 

 good management. {Bot. Reg., Jan.)
