About 10 species of herbaceous perennials from central Asia, one of which, /. Delavayl, has achieved extraordinary notice since 1893. It is a hardy plant with handsome pinnate foliage, each leaf being 1 ft. long, with as many as 15-20 dentate segments: scape 1-2 ft. high, bearing 2-12 large trumpet-shaped, rosy purple fls., each 2-3 in. long and »s much wide. These fls. are probably equal in decora- tive value to many of the Bignonias cherished in our .greenhou-sr'i. In <iizr- and beauty they rank with those -of Catal|i,i. iiiL'iioiii;, Tecoma, of the same family. This s[,c II - 1- 'â â¢â I iiiiiily the finest hardy herbaceous perenniMl jn rh, I'.iL' family.
