(C. inca'nus. Stem shrubby, upright, branched: leaves spear-shaped, 
blunt, entire, hoary: pods without glands. 
E. Bot. 1935— Mill. Ill 55. 
Stem two feet high, branched, round, leafy, hoary with pubescence, as is 
all the herbage. Leaves tapering at the base. Flowers in terminal 
bunches, fragrant, naturally of a purplish crimson, often double. Petals 
rounded and nearly entire, their claws pale and greenish. Pods long, 
cylindrical, hoary; their points a little elongated, but simple, blunt, and 
crowned with the permanent dilated stigma. Seeds numerous. E. Bot. 
Hoary Shrubby Stock. ( Matthiola incana. Br. E.) Discovered by Mr. 
Dawson Turner, and Mr. W. Borrer in 1806, on the cliffs to the east of 
Hastings, growing on rocky ledges accessible only to a person let down 
from the summit by a rope. Such is likewise its natural situation in the 
south of Europe. B. June—July. E.)*

stamens : Calyx closed : Pod angular, stiff and straight: 
Summit forked, with converging lobes.

1. 1. 
Stem hairy, about two feet high, simple or branched. Leaves hairy, irre¬ 
gularly tooth-serrated, either sessile or on short leaf-stalks; not halberd¬ 
shaped, rather occasionally subcordate. Flowers large, purplish red, in 
a terminal spike-like bunch. Petals rounded at the end. Fruit-stalks 
expanding. Sp. pi. refers the fig. of Dod. 161 to II. matronalis , and that 
of Clus. i. 297. 1. to II. inodora ; but these figures, being both impres¬ 
sions from the same block, a doubt arises whether these two species are 
really distinct. Specimens which I collected in Cornwall agree perfectly 
with the fig. of Jacquin and the Flora Danica. (It is now generally 
agreed that they are one and the same species, with due preference to 
the original trivial name : the secondary one, indeed, proving inapplica¬ 
ble, as the plant, by no means renouncing its classical generic title, 
exhales an agreeable fragrance in the evening, J and also, it . must be 
admitted, in a moist atmosphere during the day. E.) 
* (By cultivation this species becomes the Queen's Stock , rivalling in size and beauty 
the celebrated Brompton Stock. Phalcena meticulosa and Pronubn are nourished by the 
above species. E.) 
t (From io-7T£po?, Hesper or Vesper: as though dedicated to the Evening Star, and 
greeting her ascension with a rich perfume. E.)

“ Nay, let our shadowy beauty bloom 
"When the stars give quiet light; 
And let us offer our faint perfume 
On the silent shrine of night.
