glaucous hue of the whole plant, the fhorter fcales of the calyx, 

 which are not fpreading, and the deeper incifions of the petals, 

 (in collinus there is one deep incifion in the middle of the petal 

 and feveral fmaller ones on the fides) from the latter, on the 

 other hand, in having its {talks more divided, its leaves and ca- 

 lycine fcales lefs blunt, the petals more deeply incifed and not 

 doubly-ferrate. In the Bankuan Herbarium there is a fpe- 

 cimen from Swifierland, without name, very nearly relembling 

 this, but the leaves in that have fmooth edges and are not fo 

 ftrongly keeled. It may be confidered as hardy, but will be 

 more certainly preserved by the fhelter of a pit or frame. 



Propagated by feeds or layers in the fame manner as com«<
