244 JONES ON THE VEGETATION OF THE BERMUDAS. 



PAPAYERACE^. 



Argemone mexicana, i. ''Lady Thistle." Very common in 

 gardens and waste ground which has been cultivated. From its 

 flowers is sometimes made a yellow dye, with which the islanders 

 colour ribbons and other small articles. It flowers about the 

 end of March or beginning of April. The plant appears to have 

 a very wide geographical range, being found in the northern as 

 well as southern States of America, West Indies, India, China, 

 and probably all over the tropical as well as temperate regions 

 of the globe.
