Bracteas or floral leaves acutish, finely and denticulately ciliated, 
like the sepals. Pedicels one-half shorter than the bracteas, 
pilosely hispid. Calyx and corolla like that of C. minor ; but 
differs in the corolla being marked by 5 dark purple spots on 
the tube, and sometimes these spots are so close as to form a 
purple circle,

Cult. The seeds of all the species only require to be sown 
in the open ground. The C. maculàta is perennial, and re- 
quires to be planted in a sheltered dry situation, or the roots, 
which are fleshy, will be apt to rot.
