Of the many species, less than half a dozen have entered hirgely into garden forms. The common g:irden kinds have come mostly from F. Manellanica. This species was introduced into Great Britain from Chile in 1788, or about that time. It is va- riable in a wild state aa well as in cultivation, and plants subsequently introduced from South America were so distinct as to be regarded for a time as distinct spe- cies. at the day sorm- of the ,s of F.
