Mr. Loddices. In many refpe&s it correfponds with Dr. 

 Smith's defcription of his D. crinitus y but the limb of the 

 corolla in that is much more deeply and finely divided. From 

 Di an thus fragrans of Mr. Salisbury, in the Paradifus 

 Londinenfis, which is probably the fame with D. plumarius ? 

 of Bieberstein, (vide Annals of Botany, vol. ii. p. 441.) 

 it differs in a fimilar manner, and alfo in the number of the 

 fcales of the calyx. In DiANTHUsferotinus of the Planta 

 rariores Hungari<e, the calyx is more obtufe, the leaves fhorter 

 and lefs pointed, the Items more fhrubby, the fcales of the 

 calyx lefs, generally more in number, and their mucro much 

 fliorter. At the fame time all thefe four fpecies appear to 

 be very nearly allied. Flowers in Auguft. May be cultivated 

 and propagated in the fame manner as Carnations. Is parti- 

 cularly liable to be deftroyed by flugs in the winter.
