Willdenow has supposed that the Chrysanthemum 

 indicum of Linnaeus is not the same species with our plant, 

 but we see no reason to believe that they are distinct. The 

 chaffy receptacle which is sometimes at least observed in our 

 cultivated plants, has occasioned it to be ranked with 

 Anthemis, but the constancy of this character has not, we 

 believe, been as yet ascertained. 



Most of the above varieties seem to be permanent ; but 

 some of them, we are told, are liable to change their colour 

 from change of soil and situation ; and the one here figured 

 has certainly this tendency, and owes the rich colour of the 

 inner petals to its having been planted in a warm situation, 

 where it was exposed to a very burning sun ; and may there- 

 fore be expected, under different circumstances, to return 

 again to its original white. 



Since our present subject was drawn, and in the hands of 

 the engraver, we received from Messrs. Barr and Brookes, 

 of the Northampton Nursery, a specimen of a newly imported 

 white variety, which in size and form of the flower far sur- 

 passes any that we have before seen. It exceeded four inches 

 in diameter, was extremely double and perfectly formed ; the 

 hgulse cruilled at the lower halt; and spreading above ; the 

 petals towards the centre tinged of a lemon colour, shaded off 

 to a pure white, and contrary to the usual mode, the points 

 of the petals, except the outer rows, were curved inwards 

 towards the centre. When fully expanded a few of the per- 

 fect florets of the disk were exposed to view, the bright yellow 

 colour of which added to the beauty of the whole : "this is the 

 variety i. in the above list.
