Leaves alternate, nearly sessile, partially divided into 5 un- 

 equal lobes, somewhat trapeziform, acute, deeply toothed ; the 

 upper sui'face of a deep green, assuming, when old, a purple cast; 

 the under surface of a very light green. This new and highly 

 ornamental species of ^conitum, a native of China and probably 

 also of Japan, was introduced by Dr. Von Sieholdt, about 1833. 

 " It is remarkably bold and handsome in its habits, and the 

 flowers are very large, and of a most beautiful blue colour; the 

 terminal flowers expand first, and shortly after a great number 

 of flowers are produced from the axil of every leaf, on short 

 lateral shoots, even down to the base of the stem ; which gives it 

 a very interesting appearance. It remains in flower about two 

 months, and will, no doubt, prove perfectly hardy. It is of very 

 easy culture, and, from its ornamental character, is well adapted 

 for the flower-garden. It ripens seeds freely, and is also easily 

 increased by division of the roots." There are plants in the 

 Epsom Nursery. {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., Feb.)
