129 it may extend north or south ; I know not. It chiefly inhabits the cliffs and hills near the sea, and I do not recollect to have seen it at more than two or three leagues from the coast. But there is one peculiarity in the wild plant that I have never seen noticed in print, that its flowers are always pure while, free from the purple tint so common in the cultivated varieties; and this, I think, is a strong evidence of its native origin. Another proof may be drawn from the fact, that while ...it is often met with in mountain- ous places, remote from cultivated ground, it is not seen in the immediate neighbourhood of the fields and gardens where it is planted, unless a stream of water run through the ground, which may carry tubers to uncultivated spots. Having observed the distribution of this and other plants through the agency of the streams employed for irrigating the land, I am led to think, that the wild specimens found near lama may have had similar origin. If they occurred in the valley, this is more than pro- bable, as almost the whole of the land is either culti- vated by irrigation, or the uncultivated spots are overflowed when the river is swelled by the rains in the interior.
