OF ORNAMENTAL ANNUALS. 
2-21 
E. PHACELIOIDES, Benth. 
Closely resembling a species of Pliacelia. A native of California. 
E. LOASAUFOLIA, Benth. 
Erect, and with almost the habit of a Pliacelia. Every part of the plant is covered with long stiff hairs 
intermixed with clammy down. It is a native of California, where it was discovered by Douglas. 
GENUS IV. 
PHACELIA, Juss. THE PHACELIA. 
Lin. Sysi. PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Generic Character. — Corolla deciduous. Ovarium pilose. Placentas linear, 2-ovulate. Capsule falsely two-celled.—(G. Don.) 
Description, &c.— The difference between this genus and Eutoca is very slight ; and it consists principally 
in the greater quantity of seeds contained in the capsule of the Eutocas. The name Pliacelia signifies a fascicle, 
or bundle, and it was given to the genus in reference to the flowers being produced in fascicles. 
1.—PHACELIA TAN ACETIFO LI A, Benth. THE TANSY-LEAVED PHACELIA. 
Engravings. —Bot. Reg. t. 1096; Bot. Mag. t. 3703 ; Swt. Brit. Leaves bipinnatifid. Leaflets oblong, dentately pinnatifid. Calycine 
Flow. Gard. 2nd Ser. t. 360 ; and our fig. 3, in Plate 38. segments oblong-linear, hispid. Stamens exserted.—(G. Don.) 
Specific Character. —Clothed with scabrous pubescence or hispid. 
Description, &c.— The appearance of this plant is very remarkable from the bundles or rather strings of 
flowers which appear to have been just unrolled, the long black hairs with which every part of it is covered, and 
the stamens which project far beyond the corollas of the flowers. Indeed, though the plant is by no means 
remarkable for its beauty, few persons see it for the first time without being struck with it. The flowers are of 
a pale purple or violet, and are pretty in themselves ; but the whole plant has a coarse and weedy aspect. It is 
quite hardy, and will thrive in any soil and situation; and as the stem is sufficiently strong to keep it erect, it 
requires no care but sowing. A slight variety of this species is sometimes called P. bipinnatifida in the nurseries. 
2.—PHACELIA CONGESTA, Hook. THE CROWDED-FLOWERED PHACELIA. 
Engravings.— Bot. Mag. t. 3452; Swt. Brit. Flow. Gard., 2nd 
Ser. t. 327 ; Bot. Gard. t. 632 ; and our fig. 2, in Plate 38. 
Specific Character. —Clothed with hairy down, intermixed with 
bristly hairs. Leaves bipinnatifid. Segments ovate-oblong, acute, 
deeply serrated ; calycine segments linear-lanceolate, acute. Stamens 
exserted.—(G. Don.) 
Description, &c. —A pretty plant with pale blue flowers, and almost trifid leaves. It is a native of Texas, 
in Mexico, whence it was sent home by Drummond ; it is however quite hardy, and will grow in any soil and 
situation. 
P. VINIFOLIA, Paxt. Mag. of Bot. vol. v. p. 121 ; and our fig. 1, in Plate 38. 
This plant appears very nearly allied to P. congesta , and is probably only a variety of that species. The 
specific name should probably have been Vitifolia, signifying Vine-leaved. The seed from which it was raised 
was sent by Drummond from Texas ; and the plant was first raised in the Manchester Bot. Gard.
