slender point, strongly nerved with purple nerves : 

 inner ones broadest and more concave, membranaceous 

 at the edges. Petals 5, broadly obo vate, imbricate, crum- 

 pled, slightly crenulate, of a reddish purple, pale yellow 

 at the base. Stamens numerous : Jilaments bright yellow, 

 smooth, unequal in length : pollen golden yellow. Ger- 

 men roundish, densely clothed with close-pressed white 

 hairs. Style smooth, slender at the base and thickening 

 upwards, about the length of the stamens. Stigma 5- 

 furro wed, capitate. Capsule roundly oval, densely clothed 

 with close-pressed silky hairs. 



We are now convinced that the present plant is C. 

 undulatus, having received a plant of it from the Cheva- 

 lier Soulange Bodin,under that name ; it also agrees very 

 well with the description in Decandolle's Prodromus ; 

 and is readily distinguished from C. creticus, with which 

 we had confused it, by its long style, which in that spe- 

 cies is very short, and quite hid by its large stigma. 



Our drawing was made from a plant, at the Nursery 

 of Mr. Lee, at Hammersmith ; we also received a plant 

 of it from Mr. Miller, of the Bristol Nursery, which we 

 planted in our garden in a northen aspect, with many 

 other rather tender sorts ; they stood there the whole of 

 last Winter without the least protection, and not one of 

 them were hurt ; whereas several others that were planted 

 in a southern aspect, were all killed, or so severely hurt, 

 that they were not worth keeping. 



The leaves of the present species are much more un- 

 dulate in Autumn andWinter, than in the Summer when 

 in bloom ; at that time they are very slightly undulate. 

 It is a native of the Levant ; as numerous plants of it 

 were raised at Messrs. Young's Nursery, at Epsom, from 

 seeds received from thence ; it is most probably also a 

 native of the South of Europe. Any light sandy soil will 

 suit it very well ; and young cuttings, planted under 

 hand-glasses, in August or September, will strike root 

 readily.
