240 Pink to Red Flowers 



The scarlet flowers of this plant are spotted with white, 

 and grow in a narrow^ loose, cylindrical panicle, they are 

 sessile in small short-stalked clusters, and the tubiilar- 

 funneliform corolla has ovate, pointed lobes that are widely 

 spreading and soon recurved. The stamens are inserted 

 in the throat or below the sinuses of the corolla. The 

 thickish leaves of this tall biennial Gilia are compound and 

 mostly petioled, being pinnately parted into narrow, pointed 

 segments. The seeds develop mucilage and spiral threads 

 when wetted. The plant has a very disagreeable smell.

The Wild Bergamot is an aromatic plant with thin, ovate-

 purplish, lavender, whitish or yellow, are all terminal and

 time, which leaves much of the rounded heads of the hairy 

 calyces exposed.
