" This beautiful plant, which we still hold to be only a va- 

 riety of G. bicolor, is identical with the G. picta of the British 

 Flonsoer-Garden, and, in reality, differs in no respect from our var. 

 Drummond/V, except in having all the leaves entire." {Bot.

" The plant is a hardy annual, and is, in our opinion, well en- 

 titled to a place in the flower border, from its dwarf and slender 

 habit, and numerous, broad, wedge-shaped, spreading rays of a 

 rich golden colour; which, contrasted with the dark purple 

 anthers, produce a fine effect. Raised from seeds communicated 

 by M. De Fischer of the Imperial Botanic Garden, St. Peters- 

 burg." {Swt. Br. Fl.-Gard., March.)

"A beautiful perennial (?) everlasting-flower, inhabiting the 

 dry country about the Swan River, whence it was introduced, in 

 1835, by Sir James Stirling. It is indeed a lovely plant, with 

 its starry heads of the most rich and transparent yellow, having 

 quite a transparent brilliancy when illuminated by the sun."
