OXALIS DARVALLIANA. 



0. versicolor (Lin.), but differs from that species in having the leaflets broader, 

 and surrounded with glandular dots ; the leaflets of 0. versicolor having them only 

 at their apex. It differs also in its creeping root, which may probably account 

 for its shyness in flowering. We have named this plant in compliment to the 

 late Dr. Darwall, with whom, and the late Mr. Armitage, the Birmingham 

 Botanical and Horticultural Society might be said to have had its origin. We 

 have also complimented Mr. Armitage in a similar manner in a Lathyrus from 

 South America, and we trust we shall be able to publish a figure of it in an early 

 number. 



The geographical distribution, and other remarks on this genus, are given at 

 page 21 of the first volume.
