428 Description of new Chinese Chrysanthemums, &c. 



the species, as far as we are yet informed, being the Semi- 

 double White Chrysanthemum. Linnaeus appears to have 

 considered the small flowering plants alone as his Chrysan- 

 themum Indicum, and not to have noticed those with large 

 flowers; and there are sufficient differences between the 

 plants which he referred to and described, and these, on 

 which to found distict specific characters.
