This is the plant which Linnaeus intended by the name 

 of Chrysanthemum indicum, and is probably a distinct 

 species from the cultivated double Chrysanthemum of the 

 Gardens; as has been long since stated by Mr. Sabine, 

 to whose paper in the Linncean Society's Transactions we 

 refer those who are interested in a critical investigation 

 of the synonyms of either kind. In that work the subject 

 is so nearly exhausted, that we can have little to add, 

 beyond this, that we agree in opinion, that the left and 

 upper right-hand specimens in the Linnaean Herbarium 

 both belong to the species which is the subject of the 

 accompanying plate ; and that the lower left-hand specimen 

 is probably a morsel of some variety of Chrysanth. sinense. 

 A specimen with double flowers, gathered at Banda by 

 Mr. Christopher Smith, and preserved in the Smithian 

 Herbarium, without having been determined, is possibly 



* From xz^'^'^if gold, and osv.^e?, a flower; in allusion to the yellow colour 

 of the flowers of many species.
