wide, common petiole 1 — 2 inches long. Peduncles very scabrous and 
sometimes viscid. Calyx 4- cleft, the upper segment bifid, the lower one 
longer than the rest. Petals purple within, greenish without. Lomen -

This plant as was remarked to me by Dr. Muhlenberg in bis letters^ 
is evidently the original H. Virkfifioram of Clayton and Gronovius, 
66 foliis magnis superne asperrimis, subtus mollibus althea instar ? and 
therefore of Linnaeus. Walter, Michaux, Wiiidenow and jPursh have un- 
der this name described another species. 
Grows in dry soils. Very common. 
Flowers from June to October.
