Capsule brown ; ripe in September. Varying considerably by culture. Varieties, f~ H. h. I crocdtum (Swt. Cist., t. 92.) has flowers saffron-coloured, with more or less of a ferrugineous tint, and may represent the species. i- H. h. 2 cupreum (Swt. Cist., t. ) has^ flowers of a reddish copper-colour. *~ H. h. 3 »ii(fc/ifej:(Swt. Cist., t. 72.; and our ^. 93.) has double flowers, of a reddish copper-colour. All the three forms of this variety are splendid plants; they are hardy, of luxuriant growth, flower- ing freelj', and of the easiest culture, either in pots or on banks of light sandy soil, covered with flints or stones. The flowers of the copper-coloured va- ^'- "â <'â¢' isssopiauum. riety, and also the leaves, are larger than those of the two other kinds. The double-flowered variety appears to be of a more upright habit of growth, and not quite so robust as the others. -« 10. H. sCABRO'suM Pers. The rough Helianthemum, or Sun Rose. Identification.
