 V. V. This elegant species grows to the height of 

 about two feet or more. Every branchlet has from 

 one to three large flowers, of a bright golden yellowj 

 the petals turn downwards, and leave the large crown 

 of stamina in an upright situation, which, with the 

 beautiful red ovate germen in the centre, gives the 

 flower a particularly pleasing appearance.

 The most common and most hardy species in the 

 gardens. I rather suspect its native country to be Ca- 

 nada, as most of the shrubby kinds coming from the 

 southern parts are extremely tender.
