A pretty hardy annual, native of gravelly soil in various 
parts of North America. Itis very abundant in upland mea- 
dows about the river Columbia, where it was found by Mr. 
Douglas. Seeds were sent by him to the Horticultural So- 
ciety in 1826; and plants produced by them flowered in the 
open borders in July and August 1827, at which time the 
drawing was made. 
Increased by seeds, which are produced in small quan- 
tities. Should be grown in gravel or peat, and sand, and 
not in loamy soil.

varies materially from its wild state, in having its lower leaves 
entire and not trifid ; butin other respects it agrees with the
