In our judgment the present plant can be regarded 

 only as a variety of the species of this name. It expands 

 its flowers like the other plants of that in the evening, and 

 has all their features, except in as far as regards the colour 

 <>f the corolla, the smaller size of the parts (where however 

 the same proportions are preserved), a calyx in which the 

 leaflets can scarcely be said to be either sb far or so slenderly 

 prolonged as to be called awned, as they are in the other, 

 and the shortness of the floral organs, which do not emerge
