extremely narrow divisions, which are tapered off to a fine 
point; and its corolla has the segments in no wise reflexed, 
but spreading flat, and oblong with a slight point. 
G. pulchella (fol. 1281) on the contrary, a North-west 
American plant, has no glands on its stem ; its leaves have 
' narrow flat segments, which do not taper to the point ; and 
its corolla has the segments almost triangular and reflexed. 
By these botanical differences then they may be distin- 
guished ; in addition to which we may add, that G. coronopi- 
folia.is a plant which although delicate is tolerably easy to 
cultivate, and produces its seed in some abundance ; while on 
the other hand Gilia pulchella is so impatient of cultivation 
that it is already nearly lost from our gardens. 
Both species are little better than biennials, and succeed 
more perfectly in a cool airy green-house than in the open 
air; they are egually handsome, and as may be supposed, 
from their having been confounded with one another, very 
much alike.
