deep purplifh yellow Flowers, appearing in fuccefllon from July to 
Odobcr. The Flowers have naturally an ill fmell, but culture takes^ 
this off; and yields them alfo ftriped, double, curled and quilled with 
vaft variety and beauty. We call it the French Marygold.

This alfo is an Annual, native of Mexico, but hardy enough to 
bear open air with us through Summer. It is four Feet high j theLeaves 
are pale green, and the Pdowers of a faint, and but inelegant yellow. 
It blows from July to the very end of Summer. Culture has all the 
happy effeeft on this we have mentioned in the other : the Flower 
grows double, and the added Petals fold, cud, and wave, and quill 
about, and among one another, with a great encreafe in fize and 
beauty.

edged Footflalks to the Leaves, and filmy fupports to the cluflered 
Flowers. They are little and white. 
t This is an inftance of a very improper trivial Engli/h fpecific name; f nee it would 
feem rather the denomination of a different Genus, than only of a dI(lin( 5 L Species. It 
will be better hereafter to call the plant by the name here given, Upright French 
Marygold : the term African is only annexed, becaufe it is in ufc.
