G. Achilleefolia ; caule erecto glabriusculo, foliis 2-3-pinnatisectis : segmentis 
lineari-subulatis, corymbis capitatis multifloris longissime pedunculatis, caly- 
cibus sublanatis, corollis calyce duplo longioribus, staminibus corolla brevi- 
oribus. Bentham, 1. c. 
: Herba annua, lete viridis, ramosa, pedalis et ultra, glaberrima, salvis 
foliorum basibus ciliatis calycibus pedunculisgue. Corolle purpuree ; sta- 
mina ad ipsos sinus inserta, limbo breviora, antheris cyaneis. 
A new hardy annual, sent from California to the Horti- 
cultural Society by Mr. Douglas. It resembles G. capitata 
ìn its foliage, and in the arrangement of its flowers; but its 
appearance is much more green, and its habit is dwarfish. 
e flowers, too, are purple, instead of sky-blue. 
It will grow in any kind of soil, and produces seed in 
abundance, so that it will soon become as common as G. 
capitata itself. 
Our drawing was made in August last, at which time 
the flowers first began to open. The plant continued in 
. perfection till the beginning of December, when the cold 
nights killed it,
