In barren gravelly waste ground, hedges, and fallow fields, fre-

Annual. May, June. 



Stems weak and straggling, 12 or 18 inches long, branched, leafy, 

 somewhat angular, covered with short deflexed hairs. Leaves 

 firmer in substance than those of the 4 preceding, and divided 

 very nearly to the bottom into 5 or 7 principal segments, each 

 of which is also cut into 3 or more, jagged or entire, narrow 

 lobes ; all clothed with short, scattered, rather close hairs, most 

 abundant on the ribs beneath. Footstalks of the lower leaves 

 very long ; of the upper shorter than the leaves ; all rough 

 with reflt?xed hairs. Fl. pale crimson, rather small, on short, 

 axillary, cloven stalks. Cal. strongly pointed. Pet. inversely 

 heart-shaped, hairy at the claw. Anth. blue. Caps, wrinkled 

 transversely in some degree, but less remarkably than those of 

 G. molle, and clothed with prominent hairs. Seeds oval, rather 

 larger than the last, and in like manner covered with beautiful 

 more prominent reticulations. The whole habit, leaves and pe- 

 tals of the two species are abundantly different. 



/S is hardly a variety,
