florets of the radius eight, female, ligulate, rounded, broad, 
entire; those of the disk numerous, perfect, tubular; their 
limb in six, seven, or eight linear, acute, very narrow seg¬ 
ments. Stamina: filaments (in the disk only) five, capil¬ 
lary 5 anthers simple, united into a cylinder. Pistil: germen 
oblong, crowned with five bristles, and five short interme¬ 
diate scales; style solitary, divided half way down into three 
parts; stigmas three, bristle-shaped. Seeds solitary, oblong, 
slightly pentagonal, tapering at the base, crowned with five 
erect bristles. Receptacle chaffy, its scales short, cup-like, 
toothed .—Essential Character, Receptacle chaffy. Seed- 
crown of five erect bristles. Calyx double; the outer of 
many bristles; inner of many equal leaves. Florets of the 
disk in six or eight segments. 
Schlechtendalia glandulosa.—Native of Mexico, from 
whence it was sent to the garden at Madrid. Root peren¬ 
nial. Stems annual, a yard high, branched, leafy, round, 
reddish and smooth. Leaves numerous, mostly alternate, 
rigid, pinnate, with an odd leaflet; their common stalk 
channelled, fringed with bristles; leaflets about seven, oppo¬ 
site, ovate, decurrent, smooth, an inch long, toothed, often 
fringed with bristles, and bordered with scattered pellucid 
spots, or glands, in their substance, near the edge. Flowers 
corymbose, resembling the common zinnia in size and shape, 
scarlet; the disk palest. Each scale or leaf of the calyx 
ends in a red bristle, at whose base are two glands, in the 
inner calyx, one in the outer. The flower-stalks swell gra¬ 
dually upwards, and bear a few scattered bristles, resembling 
the outer scales of the calyx. This plant is certainly, as 
Cavaniiles remarks, akin to tagetes, but differs in its double 
calyx, more numerous segments o! the tubular florets, chaffy 
receptacle, and three stigmas; which last character, as this in¬ 
telligent author appears to think, requires further investigation.
