This is an Annual, native of Vera Cruz, u'lth very little beauty, 
but enough of fingularity to recommend it. It flow'ers in Auguft. The 
Stalks are weak, and lie upon the ground : the Leaves flick to the 
hand, which touches them j the petty Flowers are white, as in the 
other;- but they are yet more over-lhadowed by their great green 
Cup. The Seeds often fail of ripening here. 
There are two other Species of this Genus, but they have naked 
Flowers, a yellow Difk, without Rays. Our fucceeding Clafs com- 
prehends the naked Kinds ; and, as in all fimilar inftances, this Ge- 
nus will be repeated there to give thofe Species.
