The drawing was taken from a specimen sent to us by 
the civility of Mr. Biggs, Curator of the Botanic Garden at 
Cambridge; and we are not aware that the plant is in any 
other collection in this country. 
Hardy; about two feet high covered with a fur of a na- 
ture between woolly and cottony. Stem suffrutescent, up- 
right, of the thickness of a man’s finger, round, about half 
a foot high or more, branching at the upper part: branches 
annual, beset with a thick white fur, green. Leaves alter- 
nate, petioled, ovally oblong, obtuse, doubly crenate, wrin- 
kled, soft, winged with one or two pairs of very small sessile 
leaflets distant from the main one: petioles thickly and 
shaggily furred. Racemes terminal, simple, long, many- 
flowered, upright. Pedicles an inch or more in length, ho- 
rizontally extended: bractes subtending, sessile, convolute, 
- pointed, partly serrate, small. Flowers sweet-scented. 
Leaflets of the calyx ovate, rather pointed, villous, green. 
Corolla rotate, deep yellow, with a purple faux and unguis; 
segments roundish nearly of the same size. Filaments up- 
right, shorter than the corolla, purple, bearded with purple- 
headed hairs. Style smooth. Stigma slanting. Capsule 
roundish, two-celled, smooth: seeds minute. 
The above is a version of Jacquin’s description; the spe- 
cimen having faded before we had an opportunity of 
describing from it. |
