The Argemone mexicana, a weed in Mexico, whence it 

 has spread to various tropical countries, is a very old inha- 

 bitant of our Gardens as a tender annual. Some years 

 since, a variety with white flowers was obtained and 

 figured in the Botanical Magazine ; and subsequently the 

 kind now represented was procured by Mr. Barclay. It is 

 an annual, like its original, but not so handsome : it is, 

 however, more valued, on account of its greater rarity. 



We may here remark, that Argemone grandiflora is 

 called by mistake an annual at fol, 1264 : it is a durable 

 and very beautiful perennial.
