Our drawing was made in May last, from a sample in 
Lady Banks's garden at Springrove; the only place, we be- 
lieve, where the live plant is to be found in this country. 
We had no opportunity of inspecting the plant ourselves, 
and subjoin a description by M. de Lamarck. 
Stem a foot and a half high, slender, cylindrical, leafy, 
smooth at the lower part, furred at the upper, where it has 
also some short branchlets. Leaves alternate, sessile, li- 
nearly lanceolate, quite entire, smooth, and very like those 
of the Common Salsify. “Spike long, loose; flowers of a 
whitish colour, largish, stalked, and looking as if only one- 
lipped, the upper lip being foreshortened and almost re- 
duced to none, and the side segments being short, while the 
lower lip is large, flat, spatulate, and slighly fringed, but 
not bearded. ;
