Tliis species has pink flowers. It is a native of Mexico, and was introduced in 1825. Tliere is a yellow

A tall untidy-looking plant, with small, ill-shaped, yellow flowers. A native of Peru, introduced in 1797. 
There are several other kinds of annual Tagetcs, all with yellow flowers ; but we have never seen them, and 
do not know where they are to be procured. 
GENUS XI, 
GAILLARDIA, Foug. THE GAILLARDIA. 
Lin. Sysl. SYNGENESIA FRUSTRANEA. 
Generic Ch*iiacter — Flowers of the ray ligulatc, neuter, many- 
nerved, glandular, trifid at tlic apex ; those of tlic disk hermaphrodite, 
tubular. Receptacle coutcx, fringed. Involucral scales in two or

1.— GAILLARDIA DRUMMONDII, Dec. MR. DRUMMGND'S GAILLARDIA. 
Synonyme. — G. bicolor, var. DrummoDdii, Hook. 
ENGRiviNG Bot. Mag. t. 2368. 
Specific Ciiaiuctbr, — Plant rather downy. Leaves lanceolate, 
undivided or cut. Corollas hairy, longer than the pappus. Paleae of 
the pappus dilated at the base ; ray flowers cuneate at the base. 
Description, &c. — This splendid flower was discovered by Drummond at Rio Braxas, in Texas, in the 
autumn of 1833. It is a very handsome plant, with dark brownish-red flowers, tipped with yellow, and will 
continue flowering for several months. The seeds should be sown in February or March, or the plants raised on 
a slight hotbed to bring them forward, as unless this is done they will not come into flower till the latter end of 
August, or beginning of September. 
2.— GAILLARDIA PULCHELLA, Foug. THE PRETTY GAILLARDIA. 
SvNOMYMEs. — Gaillardia bicolor. Lour. ; Calonnea pulcherrima, 
Buchoz. ; Virgilia helodes, L'Herit. ; Gaillardia amara, Raf. ; 
G. alternifolia, Riensck. 
Enor4ving — Onvfig. 7, in Plate 32, under the name of G. Drum- 
mondii. 
Specific Character. — Plant rather hairy. Corollas of the disk 
villous, length of pappus. Paleaj of the pappus stiff, narrowed at the 
base. Ray flowers very narrow at the base, spotted. 
Description, &c — Through the accidental misnaming of a specimen, this species has been figured in our 
Plate 32 under the name of G. Drummondii, from which it dififers considerably, and to which it is much inferior 
in beauty. This species also differs considerably from the perennial plant figured under the name of G. bicolor 
m the Bot. Mag. t. 1602, and which, in Professor De Candolle's new arrangement, is called G. lanceolata. 
G.pukhella is a native of Louisiana, introduced about 1812; and it is the kind generally sold in the seed-shops 
as G. bicolor. The seeds should bo sown in February or March, and the young plants sheltered in cold nights by 
a flower-pot being turned over them, or with a hand-glass, and they will flower in August.
