The Anemone hortenJIs, figured No. 123 of this work, ha, 

 been fometimes called broad-leaved and coronaria narrow- 

 leaved; but as cultivated varieties of thefe plants differ much 

 in the form of their foliage and but little in that of their 

 petals, the late Mr. Curtis thought it bed to diftinguifh the 

 former by the name of the Star Anemone and the latter by 

 that of the Poppy Anemone, appellations by which the fingle 

 kinds at leaft are belt known in our gardens. 



In 1790, when our figure of Anemone hortenjis was puhliihcd, 

 that plant was confidertfd as a rarity, but it has fincc been 

 much cultivated, and is now become very commpn. The 

 fame rage for novelty, which had nearly banifhed all the va- 

 rieties of that fpecies, has had confiderable influence in d** 

 minifhing the culture of the Poppy Anemone, although there 

 is fcarcely any plant that is capable of rendering the flower- 

 garden fo gay in the fpring, efpecially if the feafon be favourable 

 for its blowing, which unfortunately is not always the cafe.
