Corn-fields, frequent. /3, not rare in similar situations. Fl. June, 

 July. O — JF/ojt'ers generally bright scarlet, sometimes blue, and Mr 

 John Dillwyn has found at Penllegare, S. Wales, specimens with the 

 flowers pure white, with a small, well-defined, bright purplish-pink 

 eye in the centre of every corolla. The Rev. Professor Henslow has 

 proved, by cultivation from seed, that A. ccerulea and A. arvensis are 

 varieties of the same species.
