Phlox Drummondii, Hook. Figs. 2909, 2910. Erect branching annual, more or less villous and viscid, 6-18 in. tall: lvs. alternate, oblong-acute or lanceolate, the upper ones more or less clasping: fls. showy, in broad mostly flat-topped cymes, the calyx-lobes long and narrow and spreading or recurving in fr., the corolla- lobes broad-ovate. Sandy soils. Texas. B.M. 3441. B.R. 1949.—This is the original of the common annual garden phlox, now cult, in numerous varieties. The seeds were received in England in the spring of 1835, from Texas, having been collected by Drummond. In Oct. of that year it was described and figured in B.M., by W. J. Hooker, as Phlox Drummondii. The fl. was described as "pale purple without, within, or on the upper side, of a brilliant rose-red or purple, varying exceedingly on different individuals in intensity, and in their more or less red or purple tinge: the eye generally of an exceedingly deep crimson." Lindley described and figured it in B.R., for 1837, describing the fls. as "either light, or deep carmine, on the inner surface of their corolla, and a pale blush on the outside, which sets off wonderfully the general effect. A bed of this plant has hardly yet been seen; for it is far too precious and uncommon to be possessed by any one, except in small quantities; but I have had such a bed described to me, and I can readily believe that it produced all the brilliancy that my informant represented."<br />
<br />
The annual garden phloxes are now of many kinds and races. They may be thrown into two groups: Var. rotundata, Voss, with petals large, broad, and entire or nearly so, making a circular outline; var. stellaris, Voss, the star phloxes, the petals narrow, cuspidate or variously fringed or cut. To the former belong such races or forms as Heynholdii, Deppei, Isabellina, for- mosa, splendens, hortensiaeflora or verbenxflora, grandi-flora. With the latter (var. stellaris) may be classed cuspidaia, fimbriata or laciniata, stellata. There are also dwarf and intermediate races of annual phloxes as well as semi-double forms. For a discussion of the heredity of color in Phlox Drummondii, see Gilbert, Journ. Agr. Research, July, 1915.<br />
<br />
There are several annual phloxes in Texas, some of them perhaps to be regarded as variants of P. Drummondii. P. villosissima, Small (P. Drummondii var. villosissima, Gray), is very villous and viscous, the fls. large and more scattered, the lvs. mostly opposite and the blade thick and bristly: corolla pale lavender, the limb 1/2-1 in. broad, lobes broad-obovate and often abruptly pointed. P. tenuis, A. Nelson (var. tenuis, Gray) is small and slender, not villous, glabrous or slightly pubescent: lvs. mostly alternate, the blades thin and linear or linear-lanceolate: fls. lavender, small, the limb about 1/2in. across, lobes rhombic-ovate and acute. P. aspera, A. Nelson. With short rigid hairs: lvs. opposite, the blades thick, narrow-lanceolate to linear: calyx and pedicels glandular, the calyx-lobes awned; corolla violet, the tube glandular-pubescent; lobes cuneate- obovate, about 1/2in. long, mucronate. P. Roemeriana, Scheele. Glabrate or somewhat hirsute: lvs. mostly alternate, spatulate-oblong or lanceolate, sessile, usually acute or acuminate: fls. solitary or few, pink or rose- colored; corolla-tube not surpassing the calyx (in this differing from the other annual Texan phloxes); limb of corolla less than 1 in. across, the lobes roundish obovate and entire; ovules 4 or 5 in each cell.<br />
