plant, and the ottnjifolia of AtLioNi, for which latter he has 

 retained the name of laftea> and given that of paudfiora to 

 this; but as the greater number of Lin nous's fynonyms and 

 the figure of Jacquin in the Flora Auftriaca belong to this, 

 we have thought it leaft liable to create confufion to retain 

 the name of laftea ,• and the more efpecially as the other 

 fpecies has been taken up by Willdenow, under the name 

 of obtuJifoUa. In order as much as poflible to clear up the 

 confufion, we have been particularly careful in our fynonyms 

 to infert none but fuch as we have examined and are fatisfied 

 do really belong to our plant. That of Columna, copied by 

 Morison, has been ufually referred to Androface carnea. 



The leaves are perfe£lly fmooth, even at the edges ; the 

 peduncles equal the fcape in length, and in our cultivated plant 

 are ufually four ; the number of the leaflets of the involucre 

 is the fame with that of -the peduncles ; the flowers are milk 

 white with a yellow eye in the centre and petals heart-fhaped, 

 " cordis ut vulgo pingitur formam referentes," as Clu si us 

 expreffes it. 



A native of the Alps of Switzerland, Auftria, Carniola, and 

 Dauphiny, and therefore fufficiently hardy to bear our winters. 



Our drawing was made from a plant received from Mr. 

 Loddices of Hackney.
