Grows fpontaneoufly in the fouth of France, about Mont- 
pelier; alfo, in Spain, Italy, Sicily, and elfewhere in the 
fouth of Europe : is one of the moll common annuals culti- 
vated in our gardens. It begins flowering in July, and con- 
tinues to blouom till the froft fets in. 
No other care is necefTary in the cultivation of this fpecies 
than fowing the feeds in the fpring, in little patches, on the 
borders where they are to remain, thinning them if they prove 
too numerous. 
Miller calls this fpecies b<eiica t and improperly deferibes 
the centre of the flower as black, as alfo does Herman: 
in all the fpecimens we have feen, it has evidently been of 4 
deep purple colour, or, as Linn jl u s expreffes it, atroput - 
purajeens.
