y the want of a tooth-like lobe at theinnner edge of the floret of the ray, and by the shape of the cauline leaves. It should be kept during winter in a cold frame, or in the greenhouse, andtransplanted into the open ground in May. It flowers late in the autumn. Fromthe appearance of the roots, it is probable that they might be preserved, likeDahlia and Mirabilis roots, by being stowed away dry in a cellar ; but it is, atpresent, too soon to try the experiment. It can only be increased, probably, byseeds, which may be insured by impregnating some of the earliest flowers. It willgrow in any common garden soil. The generic name Echinacea, as observed by Dr. Lindley, is very objectionable;being formed from the adjective echinaceous, bristly, in allusion to the sharp pointsof the scales of the receptacle, which bristle over the centre of the flower-heads insome of the species. Fig. 1, Floret of the disc with its palea; 2, Achenium crowned with theminute teeth of the short, divided pappus.
