flowered Viola Tricolor, as it is yet called, of our com-fields, 

 differs from the magnificent Viola Grandiflora. Few people, 

 except botanists, will cultivate this species ; but it requires 

 no care, being much more hardy than the other, and will 

 bear to be drenched with the midsummer rains, in a light 

 sandy soil. I met with it at Messrs. Lee and Kennedy's 

 last summer, when I was collecting all the Lobelias I could 

 find in our gardens, to study the genera of that order ; they 

 gave it the name of Lobelia Cliffortiana, which is an error, 

 for that is an American species.
