cylindrical, about an inch long, obsoletely 8-furrowed, 
tapered at the base. 
Closely akin to GEnorHERA purpurea; which is however 
truly distinct from it, and differs, by an upright rigid stem 
that divides into short stiff branches at the upper part; by 
broader shorter leaves with a straight mucro; by lanceolate 
keeled subulately pointed calycine leaflets, almost even with 
the corolla, which is of a red instead of a blue purple 
colour; by cordately ovate anthers; by a style protruded 
beyond the faux and even with the stamens; by a stigma 
sometimes entire, sometimes shallowly 4-lobed; lastly by 
capsules which are ventricose and far shorter, with eight 
deep longitudinal furrows and a rounded instead of a 
‘tapered base. 
GEnornera Romanzovii is of very late introduction, 
having been received at the Physic Garden, Chelsea, either 
from Berlin or Moscow, the year before last ; but is al- 
ready to be met with in many collections in the vicinity of 
London, where it is treated as a hardy annual. The draw- 
ing was taken in Mr. Kent’s garden, Clapton. Don MSS. 
We have to thank Mr. Don for the above article.
