Native of Syria, especially about Aleppo, where, according to 
De Candolle, it was first detected and named by Russel ; and 
it has since been gathered by Labillardiére and Aucher-Eloy, 
and in the Taurus by Kotschy. Balansa collected it in Cilicia, 
and seeds have been communicated to us by Professor Fenzl 
from the Imperial Botanic Garden of Vienna. At present we 
have only reared it in a pot in a cool frame, and its bright 
flowers give a very gay appearance to a cluster of plants. 
There can be little doubt that it would prove hardy enough for 
a border annual, and perhaps for bedding out. Even in a pot 
it has continued flowering for a month, without any abatement 
in beauty.

duncles and calyces, strigose with white, pellucid, patent hairs,
