re 
In our judgment the present plant is derived from the 
common Wall-flower ; possibly a hybridous production be- 
tween that and some nearly kindred species? Its leaves 
are somewhat longer and greyer than usual in the common 
garden sort; the pouches at the base of the two opposite 
leaflets of the calyx deeper, and the stigma rather broader 
and shorter; but with the exception of the curious transitions 
in the hue of the corolla, always yellow at first, we can see. 
no difference in habit or ceconomy between the two. We 
are told, that besides the colours displayed in the annexed 
figure, a deep copper-colour was among the changes ex- 
hibited by some individuals raised from the same parcel of 
seed as the present. 
The specimen from which the drawing has been made, 
was the produce of seed received from Moscow by Mr. 
Lambert, by whom it was kindly sent to Mr. Edwards, 
from Boyton House, in Wiltshire. 
Perfectly hardy, and requires no more attention in the 
treatment than the common sort, but is an infinitely gayer 
ornament to the garden.
