and the fruit scabrous with a longer beak, which, in the outer 
florets of the disk, has no arista. 
The drawing was made in the garden of the Horticultural 
Society, where it had been raised from seeds presented by 
George Frederick Dickson, Esq. F.H.S. It is hardly likely 
to be preserved over the winter. The only way to keep 
it in our gardens will be to raise it so early as to enable it to 
ripen its seeds before the close of the autumn. 
The right hand figures, on the accompanying plate, 
represent different states of the pappus: those on the left are 
the involucrum, a highly magnified floret of the disk without 
pappus, and the point of one arm of the stigma.
