2Qg THE LADIES' FLOWER-GARDEN 
6.— CHRYSANTHEMUM INDICUM, Lin. THE INDIAN CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
Enohatino. — Hort. Trans., vol. iv., p. 12, 13. 
Specific CmniCTER. — Leaves tapering to the base, three-lobed, tubed ; stem branched, branches one-flowered. 
Description, &c. — This plant, which was for a long time confounded with the Chinese Chrysanthemum, 
was described by Linnaeus in 1753, from two dried specimens, one single, and the other double-flowered. It 
appears evident, however, that the plant described by Linnseus had very small flowers, and was so difierent from 
the common Chrysanthemum, that it was judged Linnseus must have had another plant in view, although it was not 
decided what that plant could be till 1821. In that year, Mr. Sabine, examining a collection of Chinese flowers, of 
plants belonging to the East India Company, found two, which represented the double and single state of the 
Chrysanthemum, previously described by Linnaeus ; and Mr. Sabine, in consequence, gave our common Chrysan- 
themum the name of Chrysanthemum sinense. This Indian Chrysanthemum is a greenhouse plant, and very 
seldom grown, as its flowers are but small. 
C— CHRYSANTHEMUM TRIPARTITUM. 
Synonthe. — Chr78anthemum indicum, Pers. 
ENGRiTiKGs. — Swt. Biit. Flower Garden, t. 193. 
Specific Charactek. — Stem erect ; leaves petiolate, three-parted, 
subcordate at the base. Flowers in terminate corymbose panicles ; 
florets of the ray three-toothed, twice as long as the involucre. 
Description, &c. — The leaves of this plant are handsomer than its flowers ; it is a hardy perennial, growing 
about three feet high, and the leaves are of a bluish greeiL Persoon supposed this to be the plant which Linneeus 
described under the name of Chrysanthemum indicum, but it is evidently quite distinct. 
There are some other species of perennial Chrysanthemums, but they are very seldom grown in gardens. 
GENUS XXII. 
GAILLARDIA, Willd. THE GAILLARDIA. 
Lin. Syst. SYNGENESIA FRUSTRANEA. 
Genekio Charactek.— Eeceptaele chaSy, hemispherical. Pappus chaffy, leafy, many-cut. Involucre many-leaved. Florets of the ray divided 
into tufts. 
Description, &c. — The genus Gaillardia is well known for the beauty of its flowers, but most of the species 
are annuals ; the two that are perennials are very short-lived, seldom lasting more than three, or at most four 
years. Both the perennial species are natives of North America. The name was given in honour of M. Gaillard 
de Charentonneau, a French botanical amateur. 
1.— GAILLARDIA BICOLOR, Willd. THE TWO-COLOURED GAILLARDIA. 
Specific Character. — Stem branching. Stem-leaves lanceolate, 
slightly toothed. Root-leaves pinnatifid. Chaff of the pappus bristly. 
Synonymss. — Gaillardia lanceolata, Mich. ; G. pulchella, Foug. ; 
Calonuoa pulchella, Buch. ; Virgilia helioides, L'Herit. 
Emoravings. — Bot. Mag. t. 1602 ; and out Jig. 1, Plate 52.
