A very handsome anuual, very slightly differing in the two forms 

 indicated by the names above quoted, under which the seeds 

 were received. The plants grew about two feet high, with 

 loosely branching stems, these being furnished with distantly 

 pinnatifid leaves, having filiform leaflets. The flower-heads were 

 large and elevated on long stalks' above the foliage ; the florets 

 were deep orange, stained more than half-way up from the base 

 with rich brownish-red. The plant is quite distinct from the old 

 annual Coreopsis, — now Calliopsis hicolovj B.ud. is equally desir-

This, when in the simple state, very much resembled the old Cape 

 Marigold. It formed a branching mass about a foot high, the 

 stems furnished below with spathulate-oblong leaves four inches 

 long, and coarsely inciso-dentate, and above with smaller ones, 

 having four or five coarse lobe-like teeth. The flower-heads consisted 

 of a ray of florets, white in front, brownish -purple behind, with a 

 central mass of smaller florets occupying the disc; many of which 

 latter showed a portion of their dark-coloured surface, and thus
