CHRYSANTHEMUM tricolor. Andrews's Botanical Reper- 

 tory, pi. 109. 



This beautiful Chryfanthemum was brought from Peterfburgh 

 by Mr. Fraser, of King's-Road, Chelfea, in 1798, by whom 

 we are informed, that it is an annual of eafy culture, growing 

 readily from either feeds or cuttings ; it has hitherto been 

 confined to the greenhoufe, but perhaps is an hardy plant. 



It is probably a native of Barbary or Morocco, having been 

 raifed at the royal garden at Kew from feeds fent from that 

 quarter by Mr. Broussonet, and has conliderable affinity 

 with the trifurcatum of M. Desfontaines, figured in his 

 Flora Atlantica, torn. 1. tab. 335. /. 2. 



A lefs pleafing variety occurs with perfectly yellow flowers.
