it, have returned within the pale of Campanura; where, 
indeed, they sometimes occupy a distinct place, to which 
their former generic character is prefixed as a sectional 
phrase: an arrangement which we confess in this instance 
appears to us to be the more convenient and desirable of 
the two, and prevents the needless increase of new names. 
Monsieur Desfontaines has ascertained the synonyms 
from Tournefort, by a reference to the Herbarium of that 
author. He has also dropped an opinion that our plant may 
be a variety of hybrida; but gratuitously, and without sug- 
gesting a reason why he thinks so, or adducing a proof of 
the fact of its being so. When the corolla is closed, five 
flat folds are formed by the doubling of the divisions of the 
limb, which extend themselves in the shape of as many 
wings or angles, like the feathers of an arrow; a circum- 
stance that has suggested the specific name. 
A hardy annual, but not common in our collections, It 
requires no other care, after being sown in the spring, than 
that of seeing that the plants are parted by sutficient dis- 
tances by thinning them out, and that weeds are kept 
down. Cultivated by Ray before 1636. Native of ‘Tur- 
key.
