Lunaria annua, Linn. (L. biennis, Moench). Fig. 2216. Loose-hairy plant 1½ - 2 ½ ft. tall, branching as it matures: lvs. somewhat cordate or halberdcordate, coarsely and irregularly toothed, stalked: fls. numerous, pink-purple, fragrant, in May and June: pods about 2 in. long and somewhat narrower, very flat, rounded at the ends, tipped with the persistent style, interesting. Eu. R.H. 1857, p. 30.—Frequent in old-fashioned gardens; especially useful in sandy damp places, even in shady spots. There is a recent form with handsomely variegated lvs. Var. corcyrensis, Hort., has blue fls. Corfu. There is a white variety which is much admired, since the fls. do not possess the bright color of the type species which is objectionable to many persons.
