Fig. 2. Hero of Magdala, is a fine Indian red flower, witli the 

 back of tlie petals yellow ; and the whole flower bears a very 

 close resemblance to one of the Actini or Sea-Anemones, that 

 kind so well known on our coasts as A. crassicornis. There may 

 be some who will deny the claim of beauty to these flowers, 

 but none can deny them that of novelty.
