Native of Hungary. Introduced by Mr. James Gordon 
about 1760. We are obliged to Mr. Biggs, the Curator of 
the Cambridge Botanic Garden, for the sample from which 
the drawing has been made. The species comes very near to 
supinus; but differs from that in having assurgent, and not 
decumbent branches, leaves that are smooth above and 
silkily pubescent underneath, not slightly pubescent above 
and hirsutely furred underneath, bud-scales that are dry 
and caducous, not herbaceous round and persistent, a pale 
silky furred calyx with a tridenticulate under lip, not a 
roughly furred calyx with a quite entire under lip, and 
lastly, by a corolla which does not turn to a deep purple-red 
colour before it decays, as it does in supinus, which is also a 
much commoner plant in our gardens than the present.
