With us it is a pretty bushy plant, growing about two 

 feet high, and flowering in May. Tt should be raised in a 

 frame with French marigolds and other tender annuals, and 

 afterwards planted in the open border, where it will blossom 

 and seed abundantly. 



Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Comte de 

 Vandes at Bayswater. 



Mr. Lessing considers Mr. Don's Gastrocarpha runci- 

 nata the same as this ; and we presume with reason, not- 

 withstanding some points of discrepancy in the foliage. 



Fig. 1 is a view of two of the outer florets, enveloped at the base 

 in a hooded scale ; 2 is one of the florets of the disc ; 3 represents an 

 anther, with the two bristles at its base ; 4 is an ovarium of the ray, 

 with its pappus. All these figures are more or less magnified.
