The leaves aredivided into from 3 to 5 pedate linear taper-pointed lobes. The 56 NEW PLANTS, ETC.,. torisolida Arniiiti. FROM THE SOCIEIYS GARDEN. 57 flowers form a loose straggling somewhat zigzag raceme, thepeduncles of which are from H to 2 inches long, with about oneawl-shaped bract above the middle. The flowers, which growsingly, are of a deep bluish lavender colour, with the followingstructure. The calyx consists of 5 coloured oblong sepals, ofwhich 4 hang downwards, the side ones being the broadest, andthe fifth, which is turned in an exactly opposite direction, is ex-tended into a horizontal blunt haiiy spur with a short narrowovate acute limb. The corolla consists of two petals united bytheir back edge into one simple somewhat fleshy spur, enclosedwithin that of the fifth sepal, and with a hooded limb, having 4small round lobes at its point, and 2 larger oblong lateral solitary carpel slightly projects beyond the declinate Candolle and others speak of the petaline spur being slit onthe upper side, a structure of which I find no trace.
