222 A new Arrangement of the 



8, Small Flat Yelloiv ; Small Yelloiv, Hort. Trans, v. 5. tab. 17. and v. 5. 

 p. 422. Of shortish growth, and with pure yellow and expanded 

 early flowers, the shape and size of the three subsequent varieties, of 

 which it is presumed to be the origin, as yellow is the most predomi- 

 nant colour in these plants. Their forms are very neat and regular. 



9. The Buff, or Copper, Hort. Trans, v. 5. p. 420. Also called the Orange, 

 or Buff. Resembles the preceding in every thing but colour. 



10. The Rose, or Pink, Hort. Trans, v. 4. p. 344. Also called the Lilac. 

 Resembles the last in all things but colour, and is now the most 

 common kind in cultivation, although introduced after the old purple, 

 hereunder enumerated. 



11. The Pale Pink, Hort. Trans, v. 6. p. 336. Raised in Mr. Colvill's 

 nursery, being a sportive branch from the last, and differing in nothing 

 but colour. This and the three preceding doubtless sport mutually into 

 each other, and are perpetuated by cuttings of their respective sports 

 in the first instance, and offsets as well as cuttings afterwards ; but 

 are all liable to sport again, from pale pink through deeper pink, and 

 copper or light orange to bright yellow : but their shoots and leaves 

 are immutable. 



12. Expanded Light Purple, Hort. Trans, v. 5. p. 153. and v. 5. p. 421.; 

 and Bot. Mag. tab. 2236. Of middling size, and with flowers in the 

 middle season (of its group), but nearly twice as large as the last, 

 though resembling it in form, and far more handsome. 



13. Quilled Light Purple, Hort. Trans, v. 5. p. 155., and v. 5. p. 421. A 

 sport only from the last, but now made permanent. 



** Incurving Ranunculus-flowered. 



14. Incurving Lilac, Sweet, Brit. Fl. Gard. tab. 7. ; Curled Lilac, Hort. 



Trans, v. 5. p. 155. and p. 421. Also called the Quilled Lilac. 

 Grows tall, and flowers early, and is an elegant plant, allied to the 

 preceding, and has produced the following one from a sportive 

 branch. 

 13. Curled Blush, Hort. Trans, v. 6, p. 326. Has been called the Double 

 Blush, and Double White. The flowers, which are rather early, 

 large, and showy, dying off nearly of that colour. It is of middling 

 stature in its group ; and, although a sport only of the preceding, is 

 now an established and more beautiful variety than it. 



16. The Quilled Pink, Hort. Trans, v. 4. p. 350. and v. 5. p. 351. 420, 

 421. ; and Bot. Reg. v. 8. tab. 616. Of tall stature, and one of the 

 very latest in blooming; but very handsome, and repaying by its 

 beauty every care bestowed upon it by the gardener. It has been 

 called the most beautiful of all ; but with me it yields to the Gold- 

 bordered Red. 



17. Large Quilled Orange, Hort. Trans, v. 5. p. 152. tab. 3. (upper figure), 



and V. 5. p. 421. A tall and large latish-flowering variety, of con- 

 siderable beauty, and at present uncommon. 



18. Gold-bordered Red ; the Two-coloured Incwved of Hort. Trans, v. 6. 

 p. 332, 333. Of tall stature, very late, with the most perfect and 

 beautiful flower of all its genus, although only of the middle size. 

 The red petals are striped with gold beneath, and golden-tipped there ; 

 which, tips, incurving strongly and gracefully, show the gold in a front 

 view of the flower, which is golden likewise at its base within. I 

 consider it the most complete of all. 



19. The Superb White, Hort. Trans, v. 4. p. 338. and v. 5. p. 420. A 

 late, very tall, and splendid plant, with large, incurving, very double, 

 pure white flowers*
