minent ribs, curved, about half an inch long, hairy, 4-celled,
4-valved, many-seeded. Seeds oblong, angular, smooth and
glossy, of a dark brown colour. D . Don Mss.
This pretty dwarf species of (Enothera, which does not
appear to have been noticed by any author, is a native of
Chile, and was introduced last year, from seeds collected in
that country by Mr. Hugh Cuming. The plant was raised
by Mr. Lambert; and it blossomed, for the first time,-in
September last. It is a hardy annual, of easy culture.
The undivided leaves, smaller fiowers, and cloven petals,
will readily distinguish the species.
The generic name is already explained at fol. 19.
By the inadvertence of the artist, the fiowers are erroneously
represented as hexandrous, with a five-lobed stigma,
in the plate. D. Don Mss.
