coccineum, Sibth. & Sra., not Hort. "Stem-lvs. 3- 

 lobed : root-lvs. lyrate, the terminal lobe largest, cor- 

 date-reniform : fls. erect. Mt. Olympus in Bithynia." 



The above is an exivct translation of the entire descrip- 

 tion given by Sibthorp and Smith, Flora Grseca, t. 485.— 

 The chances are that all the plants in the trade under 

 this name are really G. Chiloense. 



oc. Lateral lobes of Ivs. 1 in. long. 



Chiloense, Balb. (0. cdccineum, Hort., not Balb.). 

 "Stem-lvs. 3-parted, laciniate; root-lvs. interruptedly 

 lyrate, pilose: terminal lobe rotund, somewhat 3-lobed, 

 crenate: fls. panicled: carpels villous." The above is a 

 literal translation of B.R. 16 : 1348, where the terminal lobe 

 is shown to be 2X in. each way. Chile. B.B. 13:1088, 

 and under 1099. L.B.C. 16:1527. Gn. 14:156; 45, p. 

 284. R.H. 1890, p. 305, and 1881, p. 309, all erroneously 

 as G. coccineum. 



Var. miniatum, D.K. ( G. miniAtum, Robt. Parker) , has 

 fls. about 2 shades liehter in color. A robust form grow- 

 ing 2-3 ft. high, easily prop., and fls. from Apr. to end 

 of July. Gn. 38:772, where it is supposed to be a hybrid 

 of G. Chiloense, var. grandiflorum x (?. aureicm, which 

 is a rubust many fld. form of G. montanum, or else of 

 G. Chiloense x G. urbanum. 



Var. grandiJldrum, D.K., is an improved form. "The 

 dotible-fld. form of this seems to be a more general 

 favorite, the blooms lasting longer, though I thinls they 

 lack the elegance of those of the simple form. They 

 begin to expand soon after May and are produced until 

 Oct." D.K., in Gn. SS, p. S99. 



BBB. Fls. chiefly dull red, mixed with yellow. 



trifldrum, Pursh. Low, softly hairy : If ts. very numer- 

 ous and crowded, deeply cut: fls. 3 or more on long 

 peduncles; calyx purple, as long as the petals. Coulter 

 says the petals are erect. Arctic Am. L.B.C. 17:1609.
