Communicated by my friend Dr. Go van, who found it on the 

 mountains to the north of Katgur in 1819. 



My specimen agrees with our well-known European Jacob's 

 Ladder. The stem is slightly beset with soft curved hairs ; which 

 are more abundant on the inflorescence, especially on the calyces ; it 

 may therefore belong to the variety recorded byGmelin. The flow- 

 ers are large and seemingly blue. — Seeds compressed and less angular 

 than those represented in Gaertner's Carp. i. t. 62. — N. W. 



AN AG ALL IS. 



Corolla wheel-shaped. Filaments villous. Capsule superior, 

 bursting all round.

Common in all the Northern parts of Hindoosthan ; in NepalaS 



about Katarnanda.
