THE LADIES’ FLOWER-GARDEN 
5.— CHRYSANTHEMUM INDICUM, Lin. THE INDIAN CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
Engraving. — Hort. Trans., vol. iv., p. 12, 13. 
Specific Character. — 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 Linnaeus had very small flowers, and was so difierent from ' 
the common Chrysanthemum, that it was judged Linnaeus must have had another plant in view, although it was not I 
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 Linmeus ; 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. 
G.— CHRYSANTHEMUM TRIPARTITUM. 
Synonyme. — Cbrysantbemum indicum, Pers. Specific Character. — Stem erect ; leaves petiolate, tbree-parted. 
Engravings. — Swt. Brit. Flower Garden, t. 193. subcordate at tbe base. Flowers in terminate corymbose panicles; 
florets of tbe ray tbree-tootbed, twice as long as tbe 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 green. Persoon supposed this to be the plant which Linnmus 
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.
