(1) On ne devine pas pourquoi cette espèce figure encore sous le nom de fœmina dans l'Ecole de botanique du Jardin des Plnates de Paris, puisque depuis plusieurs années on a supprime celui mas , tout aussi absurde , par lequel on désignait l'espèce appelée aujourd'hui corallina.

10. PÆONIA ARIETINA. ...
α. Andersonii; floribus saturate roseis, petalis minus crispis.
P. promiscua Vormarii folio latiore. J. Bauh. Hist. v. iii. p. 493. Raii Hist. v. i. p. 695. Moris. Hist. v. ii. p. 454.
P. byzantina major. Besler Eyst. Vern. ordo vi. p. 14 ?

This plant, to which Mr. Sabine gave the cognomen, owing to his having obtained it from me several years ago, though not common about London, probably having been banished with contempt for its single flower, is nevertheless still to be seen in remote parts of the country in the gardens of old baronial mansions : in such situations we knew it many years ago in Aberdeenshire, where it is still to be found under the name of the Single Pæony, and the only species with single flowers we ever observed in those parts.
We attach J. Bauhin's synonym without hesitation ; his description of it, which Ray and succeeding authors have copied, being so applicable: “ Folia siquidem quæ imis ramis hærent, latiora sunt quam cæterarum, rotundioraque; aversa parte glauca, hirsuta, adversa saturatius virentia itidemque pilis obsita ; siliquæ retortæ, hirsutie alba totæ contectæ.”
From analogy we presume it to be a native of the Levant. Its flowers are of a bright but deep rose colour, resembling most those of daurica, and appear very handsome over its abundant dark though glaucous leaves. Morison’s figure, No.3, is so bad that we cannot quote it.
