was not fatisfied with having placed it among his 4/perifolie. 
Juffieu hints that it has the habit bot Convolvult and 
Solanee, whilft Gertner is of opinion that it fhould be re- 
ferred to the ee order.

Method of Culture.—The plants in this saa may be 
raifed by fowing the feeds on a hot-bed in 
they are fit to remove, they fhould be Sint oa fingly 
into fmmall pots filled with light earth, plunging them into 
a frefh hot-bed to bring them forward. When their flowers 
open in the fummer, as July, they fhould have a large thare 
of air admitted when the weather is warm, to prevent their 
falling away without producing feeds. Under this manage- 
ment the plants often continue flowering till the early frofts 
defcoy them, and ripe feeds are produced in the beginning 
of the autumnal feafon. 
They afford variety among other tender annuais.
