cuous, semi-globose, and made up of yellow tubular florets. 

 The leaves are very different from those of any other kind 

 hitherto described, they are long, and hang downwards, having 

 a very ragged appearance, which arises from their sides being 

 curved backwards ; this also causes them to look narrow ; 

 they are, however, tolerably wide; the principal incisures 

 are shallow, and their edges rather overlap ; the serratures 

 are few, not deep, but very sharp and pointed. 



The three remaining plants have not flowered sufficiently 

 to enable me to describe them correctly ; one seems to be 

 semi-double, with quilled orange flowers ; the second is also 

 semi-double, with half quilled lilac flowers, and the third is 

 probably only a duplicate of the Quilled Pink. 



In my former paper,* I mentioned that Mr. Brookes, 

 of Ball's Pond, was in possession of three newly imported 

 Chinese Chrysanthemums, which had not then blossomed 

 so as to be distinctly known. One of them has since 

 turned out to be the Tasselled White, another has only 

 produced imperfect flowers, but from what it has borne, 

 it is concluded that it will probably be different from any 

 other yet known, and have red or pink half-quilled florets. 

 A plant of the third, which Mr. Brookes obligingly gave to 

 the Society, has blossomed well, though very late in the 

 season, but it turns out to be more a matter of curiosity than 

 of beauty. 



This new plant must be called the Small Yellow Single 

 Chrysanthemum. It is so different from the others that it 

 will not suit to be mixed with them, and those who possess 

 it should keep it separated from these more brilliant plants.
