—— 
From the great height which this plant will attain in a 
favourable foil, the rounder and more diftin@ly veined leaves, 
the delicate, white flowers, marked with five fpots, elegantly 
fhaded with blue and carmine, fomewhat in the manner of the 
eyes, in the centre of certain feathers, we were at firft per- 
fuaded that this was a diftin@ f{pecies from purpureus. We 
cannot, however, find charaéters {ufficient to eftablifh a fpecific 
difference. It feems neverthelefs to be permanent, and not 
at all difpofed to change to the common purple flowered fort. 
Is a hardy annual, fhould be fown where it is intended to 
remain, and will fucceed beft in a warm fheltered fituation 
and rich light foil. This is by far the handfomeft variety we 
have feen, and particularly fuited as an ornamental covering 
for trellis-work. Communicated by Mr. W Nurfery-
