same garden a third kind, (see fig. 2,) which was raised from 
seeds of the former species, but which produced flowers 
exactly intermediate between the two: the colour of the 
petals was neither so yellow as in E. Californica, nor so 
much inclining to red as in E. erocea; and the limb of 
the cup was much smaller than in the latter species, but 
larger than in the former. Still, I agree with Mr. Bentuam 
and Professor Linpiey, that our crocea is a truly distinct 
species, (all the characters existing in the wild native speci- 
mens equally as in the cultivated ones) and further, that 
the variety just mentioned, though raised from seeds of 
E. crocea, was derived from a plant whose flowers had 
been fertilized by the pollen of E. Californica. As this last 
mentioned species is fully described at t. 2887 of this work, 
we deem any remarks on the present individual quite un- 
necessary, further than to say, in the words of its first de- 
scriber, that it is chiefly distinguished from that species “ by 
the widely expanded limb of the curious appendage of the 
peduncle beneath the insertion of the calyx, which is cha- 
racteristic of the Genus, and by the long attenuated point 
of the calyx ;’—which latter circumstance I do not find to 
be the case in our specimens.
