and Villars more recently, have referred it to ArMica, m 

 which they have been followed by Willdenow in his new

In our opinion, the extreme affinity in habit between this 

 plant and Bel lis, makes it a queftion whether the feeds being 

 crowned with a pappus be alone fufficient to disjoin it from 

 this genus. And if it could not be united with Beli.is, we 

 fhould have been inclined to have followed Micheli in 

 making a diftinct genus of it, or to have added it to Aster, 

 rather than to either Doronicum or to Arnica, with the 

 fpecies of neither of which does it kindiy alfociatc. 



A hardy perennial. Native cf the Alpine regions of Swit- 

 zerland, Italy, Auflria, and Carniola. Propagated by parting 

 its roots, and requires a fhady moift fituation. Flowers in the 

 fpring. Communicated by Mr. Loddiges.
