minal, minute. Pod cylindrical, copiously silky, about an
inch long, and having from 3 to 5 seeds.
A very pretty perennial Lupine from Texas, a province of
the Mexican republic, where it was discovered by the late
Mr. Thomas Drummond, and introduced to our gardens from
seeds collected by that indefatigable botanist. The species
is well distinguished by its cylindrical woolly pods. It is a
hardy perennial, and should be planted in light sandy loam.
Our drawing was taken by Miss Mitchell from a plant
which flowered in the collection of our much esteemed friend
Dr. Neill, at Canonmills, near Edinburgh, in September
last.
For the meaning of the generic name, see fol. 12.
