The species has been adopted and its distinctions de- 
fined by Mr. Roscoe, who has liberally communicated 
to us the character intended for his own work. We are 
not apprized of any other synonym than the one that 
is added; and presume, since no other has been adduced 
by.a writer so deeply versed in the study of this natural fa- 
mily, and whose pen has been more than once and still is. 
employed in its illustration, that no other can be identified 
with the species. . 46} 
~ One variety of limbata has a narrow crenulated gold- 
coloured edge to the limb of the corolla, and is in that 
state the type of the plant represented in the publication we 
have cited. According to Mr. Roscoe, the species may be 
known among its congeners, “ by the upper lip of the inner: 
limb being divided into three segments, each notched and 
crenulate at the end, a longish unguis, and a two-cleft 
lower lip (entire in our figure?) which points downwards.” 
We have no information concerning the place of its 
origin. |
