Just such another undershrub as the Carenpura Tragus 
of this work (see fol. 28); attains the same height, requires, 
like that, to be supported while in bloom, and 1s propagated 
in the same way, but is generally more numerously 
branched. In the foliage and flower there is considerable 
difference; the latter is thelargest yet known of the genus. 
The whole of the herbaceous part of the plant is covered 
with a short harsh pubescence. It blooms freely most part 
of the summer, is very ornamental, and the flower lasts 
long unfaded; nor does it require so bright a day to expand 
as in Zragus, nor close so capriciously from change of 
weather as in that. Monsieur Ventenat, by whom it was 
first made known, considers the species as partaking of 
both Osreosprrmum and Carenputa; agreeing with the 
former in a fertile female ray and barren hermaphrodite 
disk, with the latter in the seed.
