it). The ray of the head of flowers is shorter than in G. bicolor, 

 and of a deep blood-colour through nearly the whole of its 

 length : the tips of them are yellow. Its foliage is similar to that 

 of G. bicolor and G. arista ta. G. picta has been raised, in 

 various gardens, from seeds gathered at Rio Brazos, in Texas, 

 by Mr. Drummond. The species is living in the Glasgow Bo- 

 tanic Garden ; in the garden of Mr. Neill, Canonmills, near 

 Edinburgh; and in Miller's Nursery at Bristol. [Brit. Flow. - 

 Gard., Dec; Bot. Beg., Dec.) 



The stouter of the roots of Gaillardm bicolor abound in 

 buds, usually in an undeveloped state : these, by detaching the 

 roots from the parent plant, planting them separately in soil in 

 pots, and stimulating them gently in heat, may be excited into 

 shoots to the formation of new plants. This mode of propagation 

 is, we presume, equally applicable to all the kinds of Gaillardm: 

 G. bicolor, aristata, picta, and Richardson/. — J. D.

A perennial herbaceous species. Planted, in the London 

 Horticultural Society's Garden, in " the soil of a turf pit which 

 is screened from wet, and the most severe of the winter's cold, 

 it has grown so as to form a thick bush, 3 ft. or 4 ft. high, 

 which flowers in October and November." The flowers are 

 white, and numerously produced : their colour, number, and 

 lateness render the species a desirable one for the decoration of 

 the hardy flower-garden late in autumn, in variation of the yel- 

 low flowers, then the more numerous. The species was dis- 

 covered in Mexico: hence it may be, that, in British gardens, its 

 flowers may only be finely produced in warm extended autumns. 

 Plants of it may be readily obtained from cuttings. {Bat. Reg.,

Does not produce so many flowers as L. androsaceiis does ; 

 which, in herbage, it much resembles. Its corolla is three times 

 as large as, and of a less lively colour than, that of L. o'ndrosa- 

 ccus; and has broader and blunter segments, with a short stout- 

 ish tube : the tube in L. <3:ndrosaceus is long and slender. Seeds 

 of L. densiflorus have hitherto been produced in very small 

 quantity. Plants, from seeds sown in autumn, flower in April 

 and May ; from seed sown in spring, in October and November.
