1. M. jalapa L. View in CoL , Sp. Pl. 177 (1753).
Glabrous or slightly pubescent. Stems 50-100 cm, erect. Leaves ovate, acuminate. Flowers in crowded terminal cymes, opening in the afternoon. Perianth red, yellow, white or parti-coloured; limb c. 25 mm in diameter; tube 25-35 mm. Cultivated for ornament; naturalized in France and probably elsewhere. [Ga.] (Tropical America.)
Plants with scented flowers and the anthocarp more strongly ridged and verrucose than usual are sometimes distinguished as M. odorata L. , Cent. Pl. 1: 7 (1755) ( M. dichotoma L. ), but are probably best regarded as a variety of 1.
