Common in dry places, in the most exposed sandy 
situations, in the north-west of North America, according 
to Mr. Douglas, by whom it was discovered, and sent to 
the Horticultural Society in 1826, in whose Garden at Chis- 
wick the accompanying drawing was made in May 1828. 
A hardy annual, of great beauty, flowering from April 
* Apparently from «drézos, fruitful, in allusion to the number of seeds 
which it bears.
