A little annual plant allied to Clarkia, found near the 
Russian colony of Ross ¡in New California, and communicated 
to the Garden of the Horticultural Society from that of the 
Emperor at St. Petersburgh in 1836. 
It flowers in about six weeks from the time of germina- 
tion, and although not to be compared with Clarkia pul- 
chella in point of beauty, is a neat and by no means weedy 
plant, and perfectly hardy.
