6. The Quilled Yellow Chrysanthemum, called also the 

 Quilled Straw-coloured. The plant grows higher than any 

 of the other sorts, and bears a moderate quantity of blossoms, 

 which are produced almost as late in the season as those of 

 the preceding ; they have a very strong scent of Chamomile ; 

 the colour is pale yellow ; the florets do not grow compactly 

 together, but expand much, and so appear detached and 

 separate, and lie nearly flat when the flower is full blown, 

 but they project at first ; the expansion of each flower, when 

 in good state, is about three inches ; no disc is apparent, for 

 the centre is filled up with small and short ligulate florets ; 

 the florets have very large tubes, with small expanded lips. 

 The leaves are broad, slightly indented ; their smaller divi- 

 sions are rounded, and rather blunt. This and the Golden 

 Yellow were introduced in June, 1802, by Captain James 

 Pendergast, in the Hope Indiaman, for Sir Abraham 

 Hume. Captain Pendergast, though he subsequently 

 commanded the Hope, at that time acted only as Mate on 

 board that ship. This is a favourite sort, the flower being 

 peculiarly neat. It is the variety y, or Straw-coloured 

 Quilled, of the second edition of the Hortus Kewensis, and is 

 the same in Sweet's Hortus Suburbanus. 



7. The Sulphur Yellow Chrysanthemum, called also the 

 Straw-coloured, the Brimstone, and the Early Yellow. The 

 plant grows tall, upwards of four feet high in most cases, 

 with few branches, which spread horizontally, especially 

 when planted in a border ; it never has a great number of 

 blossoms. It comes into flower before all the other kinds, 

 except the Quilled White; its flowers have the scent of 

 Chamomile strongly. The colour is entirely pale yellow ; the
