gular, slender, firm, a little roughened. Leaves lanceolately 
linear, beset with very short and inconspicuous hairs, but — 
not very closely, sessile, scattered, more or less connivent 
and pointed. Stem, before flowering, beset with numerous 
leaves, which dry up and perish soon after the flowers go 
off, so that towards the end of its blossoming it is sometimes 
quite naked from the root to the raceme. In some indivi- 
duals the leaves are very narrow, exactly linear, quite en- 
tire, nearly gray, and appearing convoluted or rather rolled 
longitudinally on each side upon themselves. In others they 
are much broader, greener, and the lower ones slightly and 
loosely indented. Racemes extending to a great length. 
Flowers with scarcely any scent. Calyx glaucous, smooth, 
slightly compressed; 2 opposite leaflets, gibbous at the base. 
Petals sulphur-coloured; unguis longer than the calyx: la- 
mina obovately oblong. Stigma 2-lobed. _ Style very short. 
Pods siliquose, inclining to upright, lengthened. 
The drawing was taken from a fine specimen, which 
flowered in the nursery of Messrs. Colville, King’s Road, 
Chelsea; where that of the Cuniumta ciliaris of the last fas- 
ciculus was also taken; a circumstance which we omitted to 
mention in the proper place.
