kept in a dry place, where the frost cannot get at them till spring. About April they may be divided, and 
planted in the open air where they are to flower ; or, what is more common planted in large pots, and for- 
warded in heat till the middle of May, when they may be turned out of the pots where they are finally to 
remain. In this case they will flower a month or six weeks earlier than by the other method, and will, in 
general, continue flowering till they are destroyed by frost. Some care is requisite to preserve the roots suffi- 
ciently moist and plump to maintain the living principle, and yet not to rot, shrivel, or freeze them. The 
safest mode is to plant them in pots or boxes of dry earth, and place them in a shed or cellar, or under an 
ample covering of litter thatched over. 
1759. Bcebera. Bceber is said by Willdenow to have been a learned Russian botanist. 
1760. Tagetes. Named after Tages, a Tuscan divinity, the son of Genius, and the grandson of Jupiter. 
T. patula is a tender annual, deservedly popular, from the brilliancy and variegation of its flowers : it is culti- 
vated in Japan, China, and many parts of India, but does not appear to be indigenous of those countries. 
The varieties of T. erecta differ chiefly in the shades of the same color, but there are also double and quilled 
flowers. Both species are raised from seeds, upon a moderate hot-bed, in the beginning of April, and when 
they are three inches high, transplanted to where they are finally to remain. The varieties are very apt to 
degenerate, and can only be reproduced by the most careful selection and separation. 
This genus serves for the basis of M. Cassini's Tagetineae, which do not appear to be at all distinct from 
Heliantheffi, from which they differ principally in the form of their ovarium. M. Cassini's principal motive for 
distinguishing them as a separate race, seems to have been his wish to reduce his tribe of Helianthece, which 
he finds too extensive. Nearly all the species are found in America. 
1761. Heterospermum. From Ite^o?, various, and (rm^/u-vi, seed ; on account of the variable shape of the 
grains. 
1762. Schkuhria. Named in honour of Christian Schkuhr, an acute German botanist, who has published 
some of the most accurate and useful, if not splendid, botanical works which the world has seen. It is to be 
regretted that their rarity makes them more generally unknown than they deserve to be. 
1763. Pedis. From pecten, a comb, to which the teeth of the pappus may be compared. 
1764. Longchampsia. So named after Doctor J. L. A. Loiseleur Deslongchamps, a French botanist, author 
of a useful Flora Gallica, in two small duodecimo volumes, published at Paris, the first in 1806, the second 
in 1807.
