A native of mountain woods, near springs and rivulets, 
in the north-west of North America, where it was dis- 
covered by Mr. Douglas flowering from July to September. 
It was raised from seeds in the Garden of the Horticultural 
Society in 1827, and flowered in July and August 1828, 
at which season our drawing was made. 
There is no genus to which this plant can be referred. 
with more propriety than to Chelone; but it is by no 
means a genuine species of that genus. In habit it is 
intermediate between Pentstemon and Chelone, and its 
structure is not exactly that of either. 
The soil which suits the species is a rich vegetable 
mould, among other plants: it is most advantageously

* Derived from yeady, the Greek name of the Tortoise, from some 
fancied resemblance between the back of the flower and the back of that 
animal.
