PENTSTEMON MURRAYANUS. 
We recommend this plant to the attention of all our readers, as one of the 
most desirable now cultivated. Messrs. Leucombe, Pince & Co., of Exeter, have 
now (the 20th of November) plants in full flower in the open border. The accom- 
panying beautiful drawing was made by Miss S. Morrish, of that city. 
At the very moment we received Messrs. Leucombe and Pince's drawing, our 
artist was engaged in figuring a fine plant in flower in the Clapton nursery, 
belonging to Mr. Lowe. 
The generic character is taken from Pente, five, and Stemon, a stamen, on 
account of there being four perfect and one imperfect stamen peculiar to the genus. 
The specific name is given by Sir W. Jackson Hooker, in compliment to 
Mr, Murray, the Curator of the Botanic Garden at Glasgow. 
PENTSTEMON MURRAYAMUS.
