This is a native of the fouthern parts of Europe ; but has long 
been a favourite in our gardens, where culture adds often to the An- 
gularity of its bearded Cup, by rendering it proliferous, a young Oif- 
fpring furrounding the Parent Flower. See Plate 12, where this is

its Flowers of a bright yellow.
