This is the plant which Linnaeus intended by the name 
of Chrysanthemum indicum, and is probably a distinct 
E species from the cultivated double Chrysanthemum of the 
| Gardens; as has been long since stated by Mr. Sabine, 
to whose paper in the Linnean Society s Transactions we 
refer those who are interested in a critical investigation 
of the synonyms of either kind. In that work the subject 
| is so nearly exhausted, that we can have little to add, 
beyond this, that we agree in opinion, that the left and 
upper right-hand specimens in the Linnean Herbarium 
both belong to the species which is the subject of the 
accompanying plate; and that.the lower left-hand specimen 
is probably a morsel of some variety of Chrysanth. sinense. 
A specimen with double flowers, gathered at Banda b 
Mr. Christopher Smith, and preserved in the Smithian 
Herbarium, without having been determined, is possibly 
|. * From xevex,, gold, and eos, a flower; in allusion to the yellow colour 
of the flowers of many species.
