This is unquestionably the Lychnidea veronica folio, S^c. 

 of the Abbe Feuilleej in the place above quoted, and conse- 

 quently the Erinus peruvianus of Linn, and the F. chamadri- 

 folia of Jussieu. That author's station for the plant is 

 Paraguay. M. Sellow, too, appears to have found it on the 

 north side of the Plata ; so that it has probably a very ex- 

 tensive range, and the richness of its flowers must render it a 

 very remarkable object. It is now cultivated by the Horticul- 

 tural Society, from seeds sent by Di'. Gillies. 



Melindres is the vernacular name of this plant in the Pam- 

 pas, and it is always combined with the word Colorado, (red.)
