as it is too showy ever to have been disesteemed, must have 
passed out of cultivation from carelessness or accident. It ap¬ 
pears to have been made known exactly fifty years ago, being 
marked in the catalogue as an introduction fiom 13aibaiy in 
1793. How long it has been neglected we have no means of 
knowing, but by seeds received from the north of India Mr. 
John Standish, nurseryman, of Bagshot, Surrey, has reintroduced 
to our gardens, and it will doubtless prove a very acceptable 
acquisition, being, as Mr. Standish informs us, quite hardy and 
exceedingly handsome; it grows to the height of five 01 moie 
feet, and Mr. Standish describes it as throwing up a flower spike 
four feet high, which is covered with blossoms from the top to the 
bottom: it has a very vigorous and noble aspect, and when in 
bloom greatly resembles the much admired Lupinus polyphyllus 
if viewed from a distance: it continues blooming through the 
greater oart of the summer, being herbaceous and hardy, with 
very ample foliage, and such extremely attractive flowers, as 
well as so abundant and so durable a display of them : it will be 
valuable for planting in shrubbery or other borders, or for occu- 
pying the centre of large compartments in extensive flowei gar¬ 
dens.— Pax. Mag. Bot,
