GODETIA.—Supra, vol. 22. fol. 1849. 
G. vinosa ; erecta, foliis lineari-oblongis subdentatis glabris, petalis subrotundo- 
cuneatis undulatis immaculatis, staminibus alternis minoribus, antheris phoe- 
niceis apice luteis cassis, stigmatibus pallidis, calycis tubo laciniis triplo 
breviore, seminibus atrofuscis unicoloribus. 
Annua, G. rubicunde valdê affinis; sequentibus tamen motis diversa 
videtur. 
Petala pallida sunt, et paululum minora, colore vinoso levissime 
suffusa. Tubus calycis viz: partem tertiam limbi equat, in G. rubicunda 
dimidiam. Apex cassus antherarum brevior est quam in G. rubicunda. 
Semina atrofusca sunt et minora, nec cinereo fuscoque nebulosa. Demum 
planta tota habitu graciliori gaudet. {

Calyx with its tube half as long 
as the limb, or more. 
Petals a uniform purple, with 
an orange-red eye. 
Anthers orange-red, the em 
end bright yellow. ad 
Seeds clouded with ash coloured 
and brown. 
G. vinosa. 
Calyx with its tube not more 
than one-third thelength of the limb. 
Petals nearly white, with a 
slight dash of purple. 
Anthers deep crimson, the empty 
end nearly white. 
Seeds a uniform dark “brown, 
and much smaller. 
It is a hardy annual, flowering in July and August.
