431, and vol. v. p. 422, and vol. vi. p. 353. Also called Large Pale 
Purple. This is a very late flowering, and rather tall variety, whose 
middling-sized and well-expanded blossoms are very neat, and re¬ 
semble in shape those of the preceding, but are much smaller. 
32. The Brown Purple, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 341, 342. A tall 
and slender twigged very late-flowering variety, whose middle-sized 
flowers resemble the last in shape, but are not quite so flat and neat 
in expansion, and their colour in the group is very remarkable, be¬ 
ing of a very dull brownish or reddish purple. The leaves are so 
small, and so bluntly lobed, and on such slender shoots, terminating 
in such long and graceful peduncles, that the plant is pVobably a dis¬ 
tinct species from Chrysanthemum sinense, and differs not so much 
in leaf as in flower from our No. 6, the Small deep Yellow, above. 
TASSEL-FLOWERED, BEING TALL OR VERY TALL PLANTS IN 
THEIR GENUS, WITH VERY LARGE DOUBLE, AND MORE OR 
LESS CONSPICUOUSLY DROOPING FLOWERS, WHOSE PETALS 
ARE USUALLY ELONGATED AND QUILLED, AND OFTEN 
GREATLY RESEMBLE THE FORM OF A TASSEL. 
33. Tasseled Flame Yellow, the Quilled Flame Yellow, Hort. 
Trans, vol. iv. tab. 14, p. 349, and vol. v. p. 421. The magnificent 
flowers of this tall plant appear rather late, and often measure above 
five inches in expansion ; and make, perhaps, if not a more neat, at 
least a more showy appearance than any other of the group, being 
double, and composed of innumerable chiefly quilled incurving pe¬ 
tals, hanging more or less downwards, and when at their best resem¬ 
bling a flame-coloured tassel. 
34. The Tasseled Salmon, the Quilled Salmon, Hort. Trans, vol. 
v. tab. 17*. (inferior figure), p. 414, and 422. This is a late-flow¬ 
ering slender and graceful plant, with large tassel-like and half-ex* 
panded, drooping, quilled, salmon-coloured flowers, and is very com¬ 
mon. 
35. The Tasseled Yellow, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 329. A very 
tall and strong-growing large-leaved variety, with numerous tassel- 
formed flowers of the largest and most showy kind, often measuring 
more than five inches over, and appearing rather early. It is one of 
the most desirable and free-growing of the whole collection. 
36. The Quilled Yellow, Hort. Trans, vol. iv. p. 341, and vol. v. 
p. 420. This is a tall variety, with rather large flowers, of the mid¬ 
dle season, or later, producing its blossoms in clusters at the top of 
the strong upright shoots. It is also known by the name of the 
Quilled Straw.
