LP —— + aR Fe = 
cauline ones elliptic or oval, with short teeth separated by 
broad shallow sinuses, from 3 to 4 inches long, with a purple 
petiole; wpper ones, remote, small, sublyrate, sessile, closely 
toothed. Stem slightly villous, purple below, branching 
into a loose somewhat level-topped panicle of one-flowered 
peduncles, which are round and striate, with one or two 
appressed small bractes. Flowers yellow, odorous, upright, 
sometimes nearly an inch over. orets numerous, nearly 
a fourth higher than the calyx, clavate-tubular, smooth, 
bending towards the periphery of the flower; tube round, 
nearly three times as long as the limb and faur together, 
Anther yellow, 5-toothed, equal to the limb. Stigmas yel- 
low, far protruded, divaricate. Germen several times shorter 
than its floret: pappus or seed-crown white, silky and most 
minutely denticulate. Receptacle flat, dotted. 
The drawing was made from a plant which flowered last 
January, in the hothouse at the nursery of Messrs. Lee and 
Kennedy, at Hammersmith, the only place in which we 
have ever met with it.
