334 Account of New Chinese and Indian Chrysanthemums. 



cannot be assimilated to gold. It was called by Mr. Parks 

 Semi-double Brown. The plant, though strong, is of dwarfish 

 habit. The flowers are produce(| early in the second season, 

 they are abundant, growing in clusters, but sometimes singly 

 when the shoots are weak. The largest flowers have an 

 expansion of about three inches, the florets of the ray 

 spread out, with a very slight inclination forward, in the man- 

 ner of a China Aster, being about an inch in length, and 

 nearly equal; the disc is three quarters of an inch broad, 

 remaining always conspicuous, and is bright yellow. The 

 colours of the radial florets in the front are brownish red ; at 

 the back they are much paler, and towards the tips have a 

 little inclination to dull yellow ; their bases are bright yellow, 

 and form a narrow circle of that colour round the disc. The 

 whole of the florets are expanded and broad, with their ends 

 more entire than in some other kinds, and their edges some- 

 times a little incurved, by which the colour of their back is 

 occasionally exhibited in the front view of the flower. The 

 leaves are small, very deeply divided into detached narrow 

 lobes, the lobes being deeply and irregularly serrated ; the 

 serratures are rounded with sharp points. In the past season 

 this kind has flowered well and abundantly against a wall, 

 though it has not spread over much space. A figure, 

 (Plate IV.), from a drawing by Mr. William Clark, is 

 annexed. 



10. Pale Buff Chrysanthemum. The original of this 

 plant was imported by Mr. Reeves in 1824, and by him 

 given to Mr. Samuel Brookes, of Ball's Pond, to whom 

 the Society is indebted for the addition of it to their collec- 

 tion. It was at first called the Semi-double Quilled Buff,
