five, ovate, pale blue (sometimes white, according to Mr. 
Dovetas) segments. Stamens inserted above the middle 
of the tube, and entirely included. Anthers broadly oval, 
two-lobed. Pustil: Germen oval, green, evidently con- 
taining many ovules; Style filiform, white, scarcely so

Ginininicniod by the Horticultural Society of London, 
by whom it was raised from seeds brought by Mr. Davin 
Dovetas. He discovered this curious plant on moist ground 
in mountain valleys, near the sources of the Multnomack 
river, one of the Southern branches of the Columbia, in 
North West America. It flowers in England in the open 
border, during the month of July.
