A plant originally observed by Tournefort in the Levant, 
and noticed by the above summary record; but afterwards 
brought more distinctly within the sphere of the Botanist, 
by the ingenious and learned Chevalier de Lamarck; in 
his valuable “ Encyclopédie,” where it is described from a 
sample in Tournefort’s Herbarium, and distinguished b 
the name it now bears. From that time till lately the 
species was known from no other source; when about three 
years ago seeds were sent by Mrs. Liston, the lady of our 
Ambassador at the Porte, to Sir Joseph Banks, and from 
these the plant was raised that flowered last summer 
at. Springrove, from which a drawing was made by Mr. 
Lindley that now mingles with two or three others by the 
same artist among the masterly ones by Mr. Ferdinand 
Bauer that compose the splendid and ample illustration of 
the genus lately published. 
The Lambertian Herbarium contains a native sample of 
the species, gathered near Angora in Asiatic Turkey, by a 
botanic collector employed by Mrs. Liston.
