34 (Enothera grandiflora.
The variety figured and marked />■ in the botanical magazine, is
separated by that mark from the original species, without good reason.
The pubescence of the stem, germens, and leaves, in that variety,
cannot be considered as a constant character, since in this
country, both in its native and cultivated state, the pubescence is often
discoverable in a greater or less degree, upon plants which have
many leaves glabrous; whilst at the same time some specimens are
found entirely smooth, as well as others wholly pubescent.
This plant, as well as the other species of the genus, are capable
of being raised from seeds, and some of them by parting the roots
and cuttings. The plants raised from seeds are the best, and they
succeed very well in open ground.
