This fpecies has ufually been called Convolvulus minor by 
gardeners, by way of diftinguifhing it from the Convolvulus 
purpiireus y to which they have given the name of major. L 1S 
a very pretty annual ; a native of Spain, Portugal, and Sicily* 
and very commonly cultivated in gardens. 
The molt ufual colours of its blofioms are blue, white, and 
yellow, whence its name of tricolor s but there is a variety ot 
it with white, and another with ftriped blolfoms. 
The whole plant with us is in general hairy, hence it 
not well accord with Linn.eus’s defcription. It is propagated 
by feeds, which fhould be fown on the flower-borders in the 
fpring, where the plants are to remain: they require no othef 
care than to be thined and weeded.
