on; as it is from a comparifon of a plant with analogous ones 
from the fame country, that the Botanift can frequently arrive 
at its true genus more readily than by any other meagige We

very diftant places of correfponding latitudes, fimilar foils, and — 
more elpecially at the fame altitudes, the face of the vegetable 
kingdom will fometimes have a general refemblance ; but this 
fimilarity arifes from the growth of plants of the fame natural 
order, often perhaps of the fame genus, but to meet with 
precifely the fame fpecies, though this may now and then 
happen, will certainly be a more rare occurrence. i 
The CurysantTHEMuM coccineum isahardy perennial; may 
be propagated by parting its roots; flowers in September and
