filled with the inner florets, which turning inwards, lie closely 

 imbricated over each other; they afterwards open, and 

 shew a yellow disc. The florets are tubular, with large 

 wide lips, the tubular part enlarges upwards towards the lip, 

 and the expanded lip is hollow, or spoon-shaped. The 

 leaves are large, long, and very deeply cut, almost to the 

 bottom ; the lobes are slightly lapped over each other ; the 

 serratures are narrow and have sharp pointed terminations. 

 The foliage remains perfect longer than that of the others, 

 and the stem is particularly strong and hard. This is a new 

 introduction; it flowered first in the garden of Messrs. Barr 

 and Brookes, at Ball's Pond, in 1818, having been imported 

 by Captain John Christopher Lockner, in the Alfred 

 Indiaman, and given to them by him in May 1817. It is 

 on the whole a very magnificent variety; and the flower being 

 singular in its formation, and very delicate in its appearance, 

 it has additional claim to preference. It is noticed in the 

 account given of the Changeable White, in the Botanical 

 Magazine, plate 2042, and has been figured in the Botanical 

 Register, plate 455, accompanied with a notice respecting 

 it, which was drawn up by me at the request of Mr. Bel- 

 lenden Ker, the editor of the latter work. 



5. The Tasselled White Chrysanthemum. This plant, though 

 of earlier introduction than the preceding, has not been so 

 generally known or so extensively propagated, in conse- 

 quence of having been at first only in the possession of a 

 private individual. It is of strong and vigorous growth, and 

 is very late in producing its flowers, which have the scent 

 of Chamomile, though not very powerfully. The flowers are 

 numerous in the corymb formed at the end of each branch ;
