Native of Portugal and the Coast of Barbary. Very 
Nearly akin to autwmnale, but flowers in the spring instead 
of the autumn; has all the petaloid segments of the corolla 
entire, instead of the alternate ones indented at the top, and 
Wholly white flowers instead of those tinged with red. The 
‘vo differ from vernum and cestivum materially, in having 
® filiform instead of a clavate style.
