The Argemone mexicana, a weed in Mexico, whence it 

 has spread to various tropical countries, is a very old mha- 

 bitaut of our Gardens as a tender annual. Some years 

 since, a variety with white flowers was obtamed and 

 figured in the Botanical Magazine ; and subsequently tne 



now represented was procured by Mr. Barclay. It 

 nnual, like its original, but not so handsome : it 

 however, more valued, on account of its greater rarity. 



We may here remark, that Argemone grandiflora is 

 called by mistake an annual at fol. 1264: it is a durable 

 and very beautiful perennial
