Species. 1, 4.calendulacea. This plant appearsto be 
now considered as nothing more than a variety of 4. pone 
tica of the Levant. 2 canescens. 3. bicolor. 4.nudiflara. 5. 
viscosa. Of this species the most remarkable spontane- 
ous variety, is the 4. viscosa, glauca, very unnecessarily

constantly glaucous on both surfaces, in other respects it 
is Hat dis:inguishable from 2. viscosa. 6. procumbens. | On 
the White Mountains of New Hampshire. 
This fine genus, so much esteemed by horticulturists 
and florists for the beauty and fragrance of its flowers,
