Zinnia haageana, Regel (Z. mexicana, Hort.). Fig. 4051. Distinguished from Z. elegans by the orange-colored fls., which are generally smaller; also the plant is dwarfer, as a rule, and the lvs. are merely sessile, not clasping. Trop. Amer. Single forms, Gn. 30, p. 270; 48, p. 464. Double, Gn. 30, p. 271; 48, p. 464, G. 2:73. F. 1871, p. 229, A.G. 13:218. Var. stellata, Hort. Florets twisted and acuminate, orange-yellow.—This is considered by Robinson & Greenman as a horticultural species not certainly distinguishable from Z. angustifolia, in spite of its broader lvs. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
