and in mode of growth is, as it were, intermediate between 
the two,—less bushy than Œ. roseo-alba, more erect than 
(E. Lindleyana. A great number of slightly different varie-

of them was certainly that now figured. Whether its pecu-

our knowledge of it extending only to the first season of its 
appearance. Like its parents, it is a hardy annual, growing

likely to be diminished in proportion as the soil is ja
