The ordinary form of this plant is given at our Tab. 508 (in a 
very carly volume of the ‘ Botanical Magazine), soon after the 
seeds were sent by M. Broussonet from the coast of Barbary to 
Mr. Aiton, at the Royal Gardens of Kew, almost sixty years ago. 
It has proved to be a hardy annual; and, even in its original 
state, on account of the large size of the flowers, the dark-purple _ 
eye, and the white rays, yellow at the base, it was spoken of by — 
Mr. Curtis as “the beautiful Chrysanthemum ;” and he gave it 
the name of C. ¢ricolor, without being aware that it was pre- 
viously described by Schousboe, under that of C. carinatum, so 
called on account of the remarkable green, fleshy keel at the 
JANUARY Ist, 1859.
