Description, &c. — This species is a native of the mountains of Ciiile, wlience it was sent to Lyons, and 
communicated by JI. Balbis of that city, to the London Horticultural Society in 1826. Though a native of 
Chile, it is quite hardy in British gardens, where it flowers from May till August, and ripens abundance of seeds. 
It thrives most in a light soil. It n)ust be observed that this species is quite diflferent from G. coccineum of the 
Flora GrcEca, which is Sieversia.

Generic Characteh. — Calyx ten-cleft, the five outer segments accessory. Petals five. Stamona numerous. Carpets numerous, dry, ending 
in a feathery jointless style or awu. 
Description, &c. — The genus Sieversia has been divided from Geuni on account of the styles, which ai-e long 
and feathery, and not hooked and naked as in Geum. There are several species, mostly natives of the north of 
Europe. The flowers are of a bright yellow or reddish, and they are frequently distinctly veined.

oblong, obtuse, and bluntly biserrate ; lateral leaflets smaller, and 
tootiied. Cauline leaves one-Iobed, and deeply toothed like the stipules. 
Calycino segments undivided. Petals obcordate, longer than the calyx, 
styles spreading, very pilose. {G. Don.)

Radical leaves interruptedly pinnatifid ; terminal leaflet ovate, large, 
Description, &c. — This species is a native of the mountainous parts of Europe, and was introduced in 1597 ; 
but, notwithstanding the great length of time it has been in this country, it is rarely seen in collections. The 
flowers are large and of a golden yellow, and the feathery styles are very showy when the petals have fallen. 
The species is quite hardy, and is propagated by dividing the roots or by seeds.

Character of the Order Tube of the calyx adhering to the 
ovarium ; limb two to four lobed. Petals two or four, twisted in 
aestivation, inserted in the upper tube of the calyx. Stamens four or 
Description, &c. — This order is in fact a very natural one, though it embraces a great many genera, some 
of which are so different from each other, as the Fuchsia and the Evening Primrose. In all, however, there are 
four petals and four sepals ; and if only two, they may be easily separated into four. The seed-vessel is also 
very long and below the petals, having the appearance of a part of the peduncle. The most ornamental 
herbaceous plants belonging to this order are included in the genus CEnothera. Onagrarias is taken from the old 
name of the same genus.
