disposed. In all other things the two are extremely alike; 
flower at the same time in the open ground; and probably 
belong to the same regions; fulgens being specially stated 
to come from Siberia, chalcedonica in a more general way 
from Russia. 
The plant seems to have been originally observed by Dr. 
Fischer, by whom it was communicated to Professor Spren- 
gel, and by him first published in the tract we have quoted. 
It was raised by several of our nurserymen the year be- 
fore last from seed ripened in the Berlin Garden. Plants of 
the first year seldom produce more than from one to three 
flowers. The drawing was taken from a plant of two years 
growth, which flowered in June, in the nursery of Messrs. 
Colville, in the King’s Road, Chelsea. 
We should have observed, that the pubescence is softer 
and more curled in fulgens than in chalcedonica.
