of that plant in the size and colour of its flowers, and in the 
shape of its leaves. When the different individuals to which 
I alluded, arrived, however, at perfection, Dr Granam felt 
satisfied that there were two separate species among them; 
one of which, the S. pinnatus *, may be distinguished by its ge- 
nerally smaller size, more upright mode of growth, by its having 
the lower lip of the corolla always of an intense purple, and the 
upper one spotless; the bracteas being large and foliaceous, 
and, above all, the footstalks of the fruit quite secund, deflexed 
from the base, and at the superior extremity singularly curved 
upwards. The other species is the one here figured, from a 
beautiful drawing by Mr Grevi..x, and for the description 
of which I am chiefly indebted to the information afforded by 
Dr Granam. 
In order to demonstrate more clearly the difference of the 
two plants, Mr Grevitue has, at Fig. 9. given a representa- 
tion of a raceme of S. pinnatus. 
It will be agreeable to all lovers of plants to know, that 
this individual may be considered a hardy annual; the finest 
specimens of it in the Edinburgh Botanic Garden being those 
which have grown in the open air, and which are now, in the 
latter end of November, covered with flowers and seedvessels. 
Whether this, or the Schizanthus figured at t. 73. be the — 
one intended for S. pinnatus by Ruiz and Pavon, I have no 
means of determining. I suspect that it is the present species; 
for Dr Sts, in his description of S. pinnatus, tells us, that 
on comparing it with the delineation in the Flora Perwviana, 
he was inclined to consider it as distinct. 
I quite agree with Dr Granam in believing, that the 
larger figure in the Botanical Register, tab. 723. is drawn from 
S: porrigens, although the specimen is in much too young @ 
state to shew the more important characters of the species.
