Varieties. 
A C. f. 2. flore pléno Hort. has the stamens changed into floral leaves, 
which may be denominated petals. It is very handsome, but the 
petals have frequently a tinge of green, which renders it less orna- 
mental than the single species, in which the centre of the flower is 
comparatively inconspicuous, while the sepals are large, and of a pure 
white.
