Just such another undershrub as the Calendula 7V 

 of this work (see fol. 28); attains the same height, rcqu 

 like that, to be supported while in bloom, and is propagated 

 in the same way, but is generally more numerously 

 branched. In the foliage and flower there is considerable 

 difference; the latter is the largest yet known of the genus. 

 The whole of the herbaceous part of the plant is covered 

 with a short harsh pubescence. It blooms freely most part 

 of the summer, is very ornamental, and the flower lasts 

 long unfaded; nor does it require so bright a day to expand 

 as in Tragus, nor close so capriciously from change of 

 weather as in that. Monsieur Ventenat, by whom it was 

 first made known, considers the species as partaking of 

 both Osteospermum and Calendula; agreeing with the 

 former in a fertile female ray and barren hermaphrodite 

 disk, with the latter in the seed.
