Men-its' s Nemophila. PI. 1 foot? 



Cult. These are all pretty plants, and worth cultivating. 

 The seeds may be reared on a hot-bed, if the plants are wanted 

 to flower early ; but if otherwise, they may be sown in the open 

 ground. They delight in a moist, shady situation, and peat or 

 vegetable soil.

 allied ; the filaments are pilose as in it, and the processes of 

 the corolla are wanting.
