Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Oenothera tetraptera, Cav. (Hartmannia tetraptera, Small). Villous: caps, larger and more broadly winged, very abruptly contracted at top: calyx-tube shorter than the ovary: fls. white, becoming rose. Texas and Ariz., south. B.M. 468. Var. Childsii, Bailey (OE. rosea mexicana, Hort.), is a handsome form intro. from Texas by John Lewis Childs in 1892. It was found in the wild. "We first secured the pink," Childs writes, "and afterwards someone else sent us the white, blush and the other shades, all from Texas." In some respects it differs markedly from OE. tetraptera, and it is not impossible that it is a distinct species. In cult. it is a trailing plant. The Lvs. tend to be broader and less pointed than in OE. tetraptera. It does not produce seed in the N., but is readily prop, by cuttings. It is an excellent plant either for the flower-garden or for pots in the conservatory. It is popularly known as the "Mexican evening primrose."
