Sent from Manchester by Mr. Leeps, who received the 
seeds from Mexico. It flowered in the open border in 
September, 1839. We think there can be no doubt of this 
being the T. corymbosa of Sweet above quoted ; it agrees 
in every essential particular. There, however, the corollas 
of the ray are stained all over with purplish-brown blotches: 
our plant is rather referable to Sweer’s @. lutea, but there 
is a small deep-orange or blood-coloured spot near the base 
of the lamina in the present variety. We are doubtful 
about the synonym of De Canpotte ; because, though he 
refers to Sweet and adopts his name, he describes the ray 
as consisting of twenty large florets, and the entire flower 
of fifty florets.
