baceous, diffusely branched ; leaves lanceolate, entire, tomen-

2 MATHIOLA SIMPLICICA'ULIS (Sweet, hort. brit. p. 17.) &. 
H. Native of? This is the Brompton Stock. It differs from Ma-

as a simple variety,) in the plant being a biennial not shrubby ; 
it is simple, not branched. The flowers of this variety are 
either scarlet or white, single or double. Itis a very ornamental 
plant, and is very generally cultivated for that purpose.
