NDER tlie name Geiuii cocchieiun, 

 at page 13 of the Third 

 Series, is figured the scarlet 

 avens oi: Cliili, which Sweet, 

 in liis "British Flower Gar- 

 den," lalielled Geiiin, (jiieUijoii, 

 and which is otherwise known 

 as G. CliUoeii^e. The ])lant 

 now figured ])ears the name 

 (apparently without any suf- 

 licient authority) of Geiiiii 

 si/lvaf/ciiiii, under which a])- 

 pellation it is ranked here^ to 

 separate it, as a garden ])lant, 

 from the other, of which it 

 is in truth a mere variet}', 

 though one of great beaut)'- 

 It differs in tliis more parti- 

 cularly that G. cdcciiieiim- has 

 the upper joint of the style 

 glabrous, while in the G. ■<;i/lriiliciiiii it is hispid. As a 

 garden plant, therefore, it may with jiropriety be labelled 

 G. cocci iieiui) , and will lie found as valuable for the rockery 

 as the more t}-2)ical form to wln'cli reference has l^ieeii made.
