The Galardia bicolor is a handfome herbaceous plant with 

 fragrant llowers, which appear to vary coniiderably both in fize 

 and colour, as alfo in the number of florets in the radius; 

 if more than one fpecies are not in reality confounded under 

 this name. Michaux defcribes the ray as pale-coloured, few- 

 flowered, or even totally wanting. 



L'Heritier gave the appellation of Virgilia to this 

 plant, in which he has been followed by our friend Dr. Smith; 

 but Lamarck's name, having "the right of priority, has been 

 adopted in the Hortus Keweniis. 



Native of the Carolinas and Florida. Flowers in May, June, 

 and July. Communicated from the collection of James Vere, 

 Efq. at Kenlington-Gore, by Mr. Anderson, who informs us 

 that the root is perennial, not aimual 3 as it is ulually faid to be.
