Society in 1835, from seeds transmitted by that indefatigable
botanist. It is well distinguished from the other species of
the genus by its definite petals, which are of a bright golden
hue, and by its uniform stamens.
The plant loves a rich soil, and sunny situation, and when
so treated it will be found to grow luxuriantly, producing a
succession of its large golden blossoms, and perfecting its
seeds freely. The young plants should be raised in a frame,
and removed into the open border about the middle of May.
Our drawing was taken at the Nursery of Messrs. Osborn
and Son at Fulham in June last.
For the meaning of the generic name, see fol. 182.
