and the fruit scabrous with a longer beak, whicli, in tlie outer 

 florets of the disk, has no aristae. 



The drawing was made in the garden of the Horticultural 

 Society, where it had been raised from seeds presented by 

 George Frederick Dickson, Esq. F. H.S. It is hardly likely 

 to be preserved over the winter. The only way to keep 

 it in our gardens will be to raise it so early as to enable it to 

 ripen its seeds before the close of the autumn. 



The right hand figures, on the accompanying plate, 

 represent different states of the pappus : those on the left are 

 the involucrum, a highly magnified floret of the disk without 

 pappus, and the point of one arm of the stigma.
