glauca Lindl. glaucous j^ A or 2 .my.jn. Pa.Y Himalayas 1839. D co. Bot. reg. 



A very beautiful plant, both from its large and handsome pale yellow or 

 cream-coloured flowers, and from its glaucous foliage. Though raised from 

 East Indian seeds, it is not included in the lists of columbines given by Drs. 

 Wallich and Royle, and it may therefore. Dr. Lindley conjectures, " be con- 

 sidered by those excellent botanists as a variety of their A. pubiflora," but it 

 is distinct from that species " in the larger and sweet-scented straw-coloured 

 flowers, the nearly smooth stems, the very glaucous leaves, and the shaggy 

 ovaries." {Bot. Reg., August.) 



Uagraws Benth. fragrant :^ A or i my Pa.Y Himalayas 1839. D co. Botanist, 181. 



Very nearly allied to the last species, but differing in having the spines of 

 the petals hooked inwards, and the leaves not being glaucous. The flowers, 

 also, are still larger and handsomer. {Botanist, Aug. ; and B. M. R., No. 140.,

A. pubiflora Wall. A hardy East Indian perennial, which grows about a foot

 ago, in the Trinity College Botanic Garden, Dubhn ; and plants have stood there,
