A native of Provence, Greece, the coaft of Barbary, Spain 
and Portugal. By Mixxer and other cultivators, it has been 
miftaken for an annual plant, owing to its dying in the open 
ground during our winters; but is truly perennial, and 
may be preferved in a common greenhoufe, if removed 
early in the autumn, when it will ripen the feed abundantly. 
Seems now to be a{carce plant, though cultivated by Grrarpb 
fo far back as 1596. Blooms from July to Oétober. é
