« With our present imperfect knowledge of this plant, it 
«is perhaps necessary to refer it to ANrHEmis, though in 
« yeal affinity it will probably be found to approach more 
« nearly to CHRysANTHEMUM indicum, of which the supposed 
“ double-flowered varieties are in like manner generally 
furnished with palew. As that plant, however, in its 
“ single state has always a naked receptacle, and some of its 
“¢ double-flowered varieties are constantly, while others are 
“ occasionally without palez, in the 2d edition of the Hor- 
“tus Kewensis it was continued in CurysaNTHEMUM; an 
“ arrangement which it would not perhaps be necessary to 
“alter, were it even proved that two species have been 
confounded under the name of Curysantuemum indicum, 
“both of them belonging decidedly to the same natural 
« genus; and to this genus I am inclined to think AnrHEmis 
“ apiifolia, when completely known, may also be referred.
