1. Edgeworthia chrysantha, Lindl., ante, p. 396. 
Since the publication of the last part of this Enumeration we 
have had an opportunity of seeing and examining living specimens 
of this plant and the Indian E. Gardneri, Meisn.; and we have 
also examined flowers of dried specimens of the two forms, with 
the result that we deem them sufficiently distinct to rank as 
species. Under cultivation E. Gardneri is an evergreen, whereas 
E. chrysantha, which has very thick, almost fleshy branches, has 
deciduous leaves, and the flowers expand after the fall of the 
leaves. 
The flowers of .E. chrysantha have a longer, denser, and more 
silky tomentum than those of E. Gardneri, and invariably dry 
white, whilst those of the latter dry almost black. Inthe former 
the ovary is naked, or nearly so, below the middle; whereas in 
the latter it is very densely clothed with very long, straight 
bristles. It should be noted that the figure of E. chrysantha 
(Bot. Reg. 1847, t. 48) is made up from a Chinese drawing. The 
figure of E. Gardneri lately published in the ‘ Botanical Maga- 
zine' (t. 7180) was drawn from a poorly developed specimen.]
