The species with the smallest flowers of any of the Fox- 
gloves that are known to us. It was first observed by the 
venerable Jacquin, in the Botanic garden at Vienna, but 
whence it came there, or where indigenous, has not been 
yet discovered. It is a tolerably hardy perennial plant, 
which grows in any sheltered part of the garden, and was 
introduced by Sir Joseph Banks in 1798. . 
Stem simple, angularly soe by the decurrent bases of
