This is a native of Carolina, a very fingular and beautiful Plant, 
with large golden Flowers, and the inner leries of Scales on the Cup 
lb highly coloured, that they feem Rays, tho’ fnort ; and give an 
air of doublenefs. Moft Authors have joined it with the liidens ; 
but the Cup in that Genus is fimple : in this the double range is fo 
confpicuous, that it gave origin to the generic didindtion, and it was 
the firft fpecies called by the name Coreopfis. The l.eaves are of a 
delicate, though fimple lhape ; their colour is a llrong green. ‘Phe 
Flow’ers appear in July.
