This species has pink flowers. It is a native of Mexico, and was introduced in 1825. There is a yellow 
variety, but we do not know where seeds of either the variety or the species are to be procured. 
T. TENUIFLORA, Cav., Bot. Mag. t. 2045. 
A tall untidy-looking plant, with small, ill-shaped, yellow flowers. A native of Peru, introduced in 1797- 
There are several other kinds of annual Tagetes, all with yellow flowers ; but we have jiever seen them, and

Lin. Syst. SYNGENESIA FRUSTRANEA. 
Generic Character —Flowers of the ray ligulate, neuter, many- three series, each furnished with a leafy, acuminated appendix. Fruit 
nerved, glandular, trifid at the apex ; those of the disk hermaphrodite, oblong, villous. Pale® of the pappus one-nerved and awned.

1.—GAILLARDIA DRUMMONDII, Dec. MR. DRUMMOND’S GAILLARDIA. 
Synonyme. —G. Bicolor, var. Drummondii, Hook. undivided or cut. Corollas hairy, longer than the pappus. Pale® of 
Engraving. —Bot. Mag. t. 2368. the pappus dilated at the base ; ray flowers cuneate at the base. 
Specific Character _Plant rather downy. Leaves lanceolate, 
Description, &c. —This splendid flower was discovered by Drummond at Rio Braxas, in Texas, in the 
autumn of 1833. It is a very handsome plant, with dark brownisli-red flowers, tipped with yellow, and will 
continue flowering for several months. The seeds should be sown in February or March, or the plants raised on 
a slight hotbed to bring them forward, as unless this is done they will not come into flower till the latter end of 
August, or beginning of September. 
2.—GAILLARDIA PULCHELLA, Foug. THE PRETTY GAILLARDIA. 
Synonymf.s. —Gaillardia bicolor, Lour. ; Calonnea pulcherrima, 
Buclioz. ; Virgilia heliodes, 1. Merit.; Gaillardia amara, Baf.; 
G. alternifolia, Rosa sell. 
Engraving —Our Jig. 7, in Plate 32, under the name of G. Drum¬ 
mondii. 
Specific Character.— Plant rather hairy. Corollas of the disk 
villous, length of pappus. Pale® of the pappus stiff, narrowed at the 
base. Ray flowers very narrow at the base, spotted. 
Description, &c. — Through the accidental misnaming of a specimen, this species has been figured in our 
Plate 32 under the name of G. Drummondii, from which it differs considerably, and to which it is much inferior 
in beauty. Ibis species also differs considerably from the perennial plant figured under the name of G. bicolor 
in the Bot. Mag. t. 1G02, and which, in Professor De Candolle’s new arrangement, is called G. lanceolata. 
G. pulchella is a native of Louisiana, introduced about 1812; and it is the kind generally sold in the seed-shops 
as G. bicolor. The seeds should be sown in February or March, and the young plants sheltered in cold nights by 
a flower-pot being turned over them, or with a hand-glass, and they will flower in August.
