But in reply to it, I should observe, that they were originally 

 obtained from China, and we know it is in that country that 

 they have been brought to their present state of beauty and 

 perfection : that for these reasons they are now known all over 

 Europe as the Chinese Chrysanthemums; and that, as they 

 have hitherto been confounded with the C. Indicum, it is very 

 desirable they should be distinguished by an appellation well 

 opposed to that of the other species.
