mouths being deeply divided into five segments, the whole 

 had a character which induced its present name from its re- 

 semblance to the appearance of a Warrata'h Camellia. The 

 stem of the plant grows bending, not upright, it is short, 

 and thickly furnished with leaves. The leaves are broadly 

 ovate, decumbent on the petiole, with very large stipula? ; 

 they are irregularly five-lobed, the divisions of the lobes are 

 shallow, and the serratures of the lobes irregular and unequal, 

 mostly broad and sharp-pointed. The surface of the leaf is 

 blistered. The plant seems to be hardy, and therefore its 

 deficiency in blossoming may be attributed chiefly to the want 

 of sufficient light and continuation of warmth in the latter 

 months of the year. 



The two new plants which remain to be described, are of that 

 class of small flowering Chrysanthemums which I have* for- 

 merly considered as double varieties of the real Chrysanthemum 

 Indicum of Linnaeus, and which I subsequently endeavouredf 

 to establish as being specifically distinct from the Chinese 

 Chrysanthemum, the type of which I designated as Chrys- 

 anthemum Sinense.J In preceding publications I expressed§ 

 a hope that these plants, though of less brilliancy and beauty, 

 would make a portion of some future importation from China,

% In the Catalogue of Plants cultivated in the garden of Messrs. Audibekt, 

 at Tonelle, near Tarascon, published in 1825 (page 27), this species is denomi- 

 nated Chrysanthemum Varians, on the authority of M. De Candolle.
