 ern-Middle California, and there are pr<)l)ahly 

 several more in other parts of tlie State, as the 

 g■enusconlpri^es aliout lifty species of inoslly 

 hardy annual and iicreiinial herl)s. Several 

 species are visited by I)ee8; l)iit the one ^'rown 

 in Europe, phavtlin (tinuirtifo/ia, is literally 

 covered with Ijees from morn till ni^bt. Tide 

 species was iiitroduee<I into Europe from Cali- 

 fornia in is;{-i, and is called (a/ut<rfift>fin 

 (tansy-leaved) from the resemblance of its 

 leaves to those of^ tansy. It is an annnal with 

 bluish pink llowers; racemes spike-formed, 

 eloutrated, coryinl)ose; beij^ht of plant, two 

 feet. It is i^rown in Europe as a bee-plant for 

 its nectar, and is the only one which produces 

 an appreciable quantity of it. It certainly 

 ought to <?row in the North if treated as an 

 annual. The phacelia of the florists in this 

 country is quite different, if I may judge from 

 plants raised from seeds purchased here. This 

 is known to botanists as I'/mce/in t'tsrkln, and 

 by some Ilorists it is called Entoni vi-scidn, or 

 Eiitocii f/sfosd. The plant is about one foot 

 high, and the tlower is deep-blue with a 

 lighter center. This is also a California 

 plant, but I have never come across it in its 

 wild state.
