flowers grow in threes, and are nearly sessile in the bosom of 

 the upper leaves. The corolla is pubescent, downy, and yel- 

 low on the outside, bright orange inside ; the upper lip erect, 

 4-lobed, with round lobes, the lateral ones being reflexed ; 

 the lower spatulate, and concave at the end, but convex 

 towards the base. The stamens are shorter than the corolla. 

 The stigma large, green, and capitate. 



To C. ciliosum of Pursii this has also considerable affi- 

 nity. It differs from that species as it does from C. pubes- 

 cens, in having its stamens not exserted, but included within 

 the tube of the corolla, and also in the much greater length 

 of its style. It is besides distinguished by its leaves not being 

 smooth and glaucous beneath, by its flowers not being sessile 

 or nearly so in the bosom of the connate leaves, and by the 

 corolla being more ringent and less inflated in the tube. 



The fine foliage of this species, some of the leaves of 

 which measure 6 or 7 inches in length, and are of a deep 

 glossy green colour, render it one of the most desirable of 

 the Caprifolium tribe.

Seeds of this plant were originally received from India under 

 the name of Virgilia sericea : it has subsequently been referred 

 to Thermopsis by Professor De Candolle and Mr. David 

 Don, and with a doubt to Baptisia by Professor Hooker,
