Anagallis (Greek, delighting). Primulaceae. Pim-Pernel. Low annual, biennial or perennial herbs cultivated in the open for their numerous bright-colored blossoms.

Stems mostly angular, bearing opposite alternate or 3-whorled entire Lvs.: fls. axillary, mostly solitary, usually not longer than the lys., in shades of red, blue or white, the corolla rotate or rotate-bell-shaped and with lobes obovate or linear which are either entire or toothed; stamens 5, attached in the base of the corolla, the filaments usually bearded: fr. a globose caps., circumscissile.—Two dozen species of interesting little plants mostly with trailing or procumbent sts., in many parts of the world. Pax and Knuth, Engler's Pflanzenreich, hft. 22:321-334.

The pimpernels are of simple culture. They thrive in a warm soil, the seeds of the annual species being planted where the plants are to grow. The perennial kinds are increased by division, or by cuttings of young growths started under glass. All of them are free-flowering and attractive minor plants. The many forms in gardens are probably all referable to two species.
