The seeds of this plant were brought from Persia by Ma-

 Botanic garden, blossomed during the hot season of 1802, 

 when they were about one year old.

 little hairy ; smooth on both sides, from one to three inches 

 long. Barbs or posterior lobes dilated, spreading, some-

 scarcely half the length of the leaves, channelled. Peduncles 

 axillary, two -flowered, three times longer than the petioles, 

 round. Pedicels clavate, as long as the petioles, villous. 

 Bractes two, opposite, at the base of the pedicels, lanceolate. 

 Calycine leaflets ovate. Corol large, of a beautiful lively 

 pink colour, margins almost entire. Filaments not half the 

 length of the corol, villous at the base. Jlnthers purple. 

 Germ with a yellow ring- round the base. Style longer than

 nearly this is allied to arvensis, a plant I have never seen hi 

 India if this be not it.
