extremely narrow divisions, which are tapered off to a fine 

 point ; and its corolla has the segments in no wise reflexed, 

 bat spreading flat, and oblong with a slight point. 



G. jMlchella (fol. 1281) on the contrary, a North-west 

 American plant, has no glands on its stem ; its leaves have 

 narrow flat segments, which do not taper to the point ; and 

 its corolla has the segments almost triangular and reflexed. 



By these botanical differences then they may be distin- 

 guished ; in addition to which we may add, that G. coronopi- 

 folia is a plant which although delicate is tolerably easy to 

 cultivate, and produces its seed in some abundance ; while on 

 the other hand Gilia pulchella is so impatient of cultivation 

 that it is already nearly lost from our gardens. 



Both species are little better than biennials, and succeed 

 more perfectly in a cool airy green-house than in the open 

 air ; they are equally handsome, and as may be supposed, 

 from their having been confounded with one another, very 

 much alike.
