affirms that it grows naturally on the coast of England and 

 Wales. There is a less hardy variety of this species, the 

 stems of which are more woody, rise higher, and do not 

 branch so much ; the leaves are broader, not so much sinu- 

 ated, and of a very dark green on their upper side ; the flow- 

 ers are produced in smaller bunches, and rarely produce 

 seeds in England. Native of the sea-coasts of Dauphin y, 

 Italy, and Sicily. When the cuttings or slips are well rooted, 

 they should be planted in a dry rubbishy soil, where they will 

 resist the cold of our ordinary winters very well, and continue 

 many years ; but in rich moist ground, the plants are often 

 so very luxuriant in summer, as to be killed in winter when 

 there is much frost. 



13. Cineraria Canadensis. Flowers panicled; leaves pin- 

 natifid, subvillose ; divisions sinuated ; stem herbaceous. 

 .Stem annual, not perennial ; the ray of the corolla spreading, 

 but not revolute. Found in Canada, by Kalrn. 



14. Cineraria Capillacea. Leaves pinnate; pinnas capilla- 

 ceous, entire. Observed by Thunberg at the Cape. 



15. Cineraria Linifolia. Peduncles one-flowered ; leaves 

 scattered ; stern shrubby. Flowers small, yellow. Native of 

 the Cape. 



1C. Cineraria Purpurata. Stem subbiflorous ; leaves obo- 

 vate, subtomentose. Root perennial ; stem a foot high, her- 

 baceous ; ray of the flower purple ; pappus plumose. Native 

 of the Cape. 



IT. Cineraria Amelloides; Blue-Jlowered Cineraria, or Cape 

 Aster. Peduncles one-flowered ; leaves opposite, ovate, 

 naked ; stem undershrubby. Root perennial ; stem purplish, 

 rough, dividing into many branches near the root, so as to 

 form a low bushy plant, seldom rising more than two feet 

 high; but the branches extending more than a foot on every 

 side. Leaves about an inch long, and one-third broad, thick, 

 succulent, sessile, generally two, but sometimes three or four 

 at a joint : flower with a yellow disk, and sky-blue ray. The 

 whole plant is a little acrid to the taste, and it is never with- 

 out flowers throughout the year. Native of theCape. This, 

 and some of the others, may be propagated by seeds, sown 

 on a bod of light earth in the beginning of April ; and when 

 the plants are fit to remove, part of them should be planted 

 in pots, to be sheltered in winter under a hot-bed frame ; and 

 the remainder under a warm wall in poor ground, where, if 

 the winter prove favourable, they will live. 



18. Cineraria Americana. Shrubby ; panicles axillary ; 

 leaves alternate, petioled, broad-lanceolate, serrate, smooth 

 above, and hoary underneath. The entire plant is clothed 

 with a:i epidermis of very fine wool, which may easily be 

 rubbed off, like a thin membrane ; the branches, petioles, 

 peduncles, and lower surface of the leaves, are white with it : 

 stems woody. Observed by Mutis in South America. 



19. Cineraria Alata. Stem herbaceous ; leaves obovate, 

 decurrent; flowers corymbed. Stem erect, two feet high, 

 sparingly branched ; florets about sixteen, some of the mar- 

 ginal ones naked, and female. Native of the Cape. 



20. Cineraria Elongata. Leaves subcordute, gnawn ; pe- 

 duncles very long, subulate, scaly. Stem erect, branched, a 

 foot and a half high, reddish, at the ramifications tomentose ; 

 corolla yellow, without any ray. Native of the Cape. 



21. Cineraria Cacalioides. Leaves columnar, oblong, 

 fleshy ; panicle terminal, elongated, few-flowered; peduncles 

 alternate. Native of the Cape. 



22. Cineraria Denticulata. Leaves lanceolate, smooth, 

 toothletted : flowers panicled, Almost all the leaves are radi- 

 cal and long; it has scarcely any stem-leaves, except some 

 small ones at the ramifications. Native of the Cape. 



28. Cineraria Perfoliata. Leaves ovate, cordate, stem-

clasping; peduncles one-flowered, elongated. The whole 

 plant somewhat fleshy and glaucous. Native of the Cape. 



24. Cineraria Lineata. Leaves lanceolate, tomentose un- 

 derneath, serrated at the end, toothed at the base. Stem 

 herbaceous, a foot high or more, erect, striated, hoary ; calices 

 small; ray of the corolla yellow. Native of the Cape. 



25. Cineraria Hastifolia. Leaves hastate ; divisions lateral, 

 bifid, divaricated. Stem erect, more than a span high ; calix 

 with about ten 'eaves ; flowers yellow. Discovered by Sparr- 

 man, at the Cape. 



26. Cineraria Japonica. Leaves sword-shaped, toothed, 

 tomentose ; flowers terminal. Stem round, simple, erect, to- 

 mentose, a span high; leaves alternate, acute, attenuated to 

 both ends, erect ; flowers solitary or tern, yellow. Native 

 of Japan. 



27. Cineraria Rotundifolia. Panicles few-flowered; leaves 

 petioled, ovate-roundish, quite entire, tomentose under- 

 neath ; stem arboreous. Native of New Zealand. 



28. Cineraria Repanda. Panicles compound, racemed, 

 diffused ; leaves petioled, ovate, repand-sinuate, tomentose 

 underneath ; stem arboreous. Native of New Zealand. 



29. Cineraria Lanata ; Wvolly Cineraria. Peduncles one- 

 flowered; leaves cordate-roundish, seven-angled, lanuginous 

 underneath. In the beauty of its blossoms, this species of 

 Cineraria, lately introduced from Africa, by far eclipses all 

 the others cultivated in our gardens. The interior of the 

 petals is white, and the exterior of the most vivid purple. It 

 flowers early in the spring, and, by proper management, may 

 be made to flower the whole year through. Found in the 

 Canary islands by Masson. Some persons keep it in the 

 stove, by which means they make it flower earlier ; but 

 it succeeds better in a common green-house, with no more 

 heat than is just necessary to keep out the frost ; it may 

 indeed be kept in a common hot-bed frame, unless the 

 weather prove severe. The hardiness of this plant renders 

 it a most valuable acquisition to the green-house, and its 

 value is still further enhanced by its readiness to flower, 

 and the facility by which it may be cultivated by cuttings. 

 As this plant, like many others, is obliged to be confined, it 

 becomes liable to be infested with aphides, or, in vulgar phrase, 

 to turn lousy : however, the best way to have handsome, 

 strong-flowering, healthy plants, is to procure a constant suc- 

 cession by cuttings, which strike very readily, if placed in a 

 pot, and plunged into a bed of tan. 



30. Cineraria Humifusa.; Trailing Cinetaria. Peduncles 

 one-flowered ; leaves kidney-form, somewhat angular ; peti- 

 oles eared, or naked at the end. The flowers are yellow.; and 

 both they and the calices are villose, and somewhat rugged. 

 Native of the Cape. 



31. Cineraria Viscosa ; Clammy Cineraria. Peduncles 

 one-flowered; leaves pinnatifid-lobed, acute, viscid, some- 

 what fleshy. Native of the Cape. 



32. Cineraria Populifolia ; Poplar-leaved Cineraria. Flow- 

 ers corymbed; leaves cordate, somewhat angular, tomen- 

 tose underneath ; petioles having several pairs of appendi- 

 cles at the end. This is a shrub, with an angular tomentose 

 hoary stem ; panicles terminating ; pedicles bracted ; flowers 

 yellow. Found in the Canary Islands by Masson. 



33. Cineraria Aurita; Purple-flowered Cineraria. Flowers 

 corymbed ; leaves cordate, somewhat angular, tomentose un- 

 derneath ; petioles two, eared at the base. Flowers purple ; 

 leaves resembling those of the Poplar. Native of Madeira. 



34. Cineraria Malvafolia ; Mallow -leaved Cineraria.

 tose underneath ; petioles simple. Native of the Canary 

 Islands, and of St. Miguel, one of the Azores.
