X. On the Generic and Specific Characters of the Chrysanthe- 

 mum Lidicum of Linnaeus, and of the Plants called Chinese 

 Chrysanthemums. By Joseph Sabuie, Esq. FRS. FLS. &c. 



^* In a former communication* to the Linnean Society," Mr. 

 Sabine observes, " I endeavoured to establish the correctness 

 qf my opinion, that the plants now cultivated in our gardens 

 under the name of Chinese Chrysanthemums, had been impro- 

 perly referred to the Chrysanthemum Indicum of Linnesus. Smce 

 the paper alluded to was written, 1 have had opportunities of 

 examining and comparing living specimens of what I consider 

 the real Chrysanthemum Indicum with those of the Chinese 

 Chrysanthemum ; which latter 1 now design to characterise as a 

 distinct species under the name of Chrysanthemum Sinense"
