and, although nowhere else found in Britain or Ireland, is in- 

 digenous to the south of Europe, being found on the western 

 I^yrenees and at Anjou. A variety with white flowers, of which I 

 have a living specimen in the College Botanic Garden, has lately 

 been found growing sparingly along with the common variety." 

 We have seen a living plant of the white-coroUaed variety in the 

 nursery of Mr. Knight, Chelsea.

" In its native stations, it is one of the most lovely objects 

 imaginable. Often have we heard travellers from Italy expa- 

 tiating upon the beauty of the spots, which are enamelled with 

 the bright blue patches of this interesting stranger; but it was 

 never our [Dr. Lindley's] good fortune to see it alive, till we 

 met with it in the garden of Mrs. Marryat, at Wimbledon, 

 where our drawing was made, last September." {^Bot. Meg., Feb.)

Resembles the beautiful C. barbata, from which it chiefly dif- 

 fers in its very long graceful panicle of flowers, whose scarlet 

 tubular corollas, 1 in. long, are more slender, and destitute of a 

 beard at the mouth ; and in its differently shaped leaves. The 

 leaf is compared, in the specific name, to that of the Centran- 

 thus ruber {Valeriana rubra). The stem is stated to vary in 

 height from 3 ft. to 7 ft. " It is a species of considerable beauty, 

 growing well in any soil or situation, if exposed to the sun ; but 

 best adapted to planting among American plants, from the midst 

 of whose bushy masses its long panicles may rise like slender 

 scarlet plumes." Sent from California, to the Horticultural So- 

 ciety of London, " by Mr. David Douglas, without any inti- 

 mation of the situation it naturally occupies. Flowers from 

 July to November ; produces seeds in tolerable plenty." {Bot.
