Other and more healthy plants were afterwards presented by Mr. Lance to the Horticultural Society, the produce of one of which was the singular raceme now represented. In size the flowers of this plant are the largest that have yet been met with among Orchideous plants, measuring not less than five inches from the tip of the back sepal, to the point of the lip. They are more singular than beautiful, but they compensate in fragrance for their w^ant of brilliant colours : the purest odour of Vanilla is exhaled by them when they have been open a short time, especially in the morning. This species flowers in the months of June and July. It resembles a Catasetum in habit, but its flowers originate from the side, and not the base, of the fleshy stem. It grows very freely under the same management as Catasetums, but seems to require the greatest heat that is ever obtained in a damp stove. It is disposed to increase itself pretty freely, by multiplication of its fleshy stems, and w^ill pro- bably cease, after a few years, to be so rare a plant as it now is. //43. /J'hM ^'taAi^ . a^. ■K.-zzcf //,-^ ^-■cc.j.f.i^ 1744 ]NDIG(3fERA atropuipurea.

Communicated by the Honourable and Rev. William Herbert in July last. It was originally introduced from the Cape of Good Hope by Mr. Burchell, after whom it has been named. It is a beautiful perennial plant, and quite hardy. At Spofforth it always flowers before or soon after Midsummer ; all the other species of Tritoma are late flowerers. Increased by the offsets, which it throws up in plenty. * So named from rpsLQ three, and repvio to cut, because of the leaves ending in three sharp angles. As there was a genus of insects already called Tritoma, when this genus of plants was first proposed, Professor Link would change its name to Tritomanthe ; but there is no end to alterations of this sort.

'^ The pretty flower which is the subject of this article, is an hybrid production from the tropical Z. tubispatha, which has white flowers, fertilized by the pollen of the Mexican Z. carinata with large red flowers. It is in every respect in- termediate, having the leaves wider than those of Z. tubispa- tha, and distinguishable by the keel, which is conspicuous on the back of those of the male parent. The flower is also of intermediate dimensions and colour, resembling the male parent most both in form and hue, and in the posture of the * See folio 1361, style and filaments. A single bulb of this intermixture was obtained at Spofforth, which has produced a few offsets, piercing the ground, like those of the male parent, at a little distance from the principal bulb, their lateral direction giving the plant a stolonifcrous appearance. Its anthers are per- fectly formed, and the pollen seems to have all the requisites for fertility. Standing in a cool part of the stove, beside Z. tuhispatha, it flowers before it, and probably will succeed like Z. carinata in a lower temperature. It must be observed that Z. carinata, Bot. Mag. the male parent of this plant, is, with respect to the flower only, the plant represented in the Bot. Reg. 902. under the name of Z. grandijiora, though the flower in the figure is rather longer and paler than its usual habit ; but in consequence of the flower having been produced by a a newly imported bulb, before the leaves had shot, and a subsequent mistake of the gardeners, the sketch of the leaves, and the description of the leaves and seeds of Z. grandiflora were made erroneously from a pinkish variety of the small flowering Z. striata. " It will have been observed that Hahranthus phycelloides of this work approaches so near in its general aspect to the genus Phycella, as to make it questionable whether the genus Phycella should be maintained distinct from Hahrantlms, at least from the many-flowered, non-expanding portion of that genus ; and that the one-flowered Hahranthi, which ex- pand in the sun, are not easily distinguishable from the genus Zephyranthes ; and it may be found that such species, viz. H. versicolor, robustus, ^nd Anderso7ii, should be removed to the genus Zephyranthes; but an accurate revision of the various species should precede any alteration. It has, however, been as yet found impossible to obtain a mule between any Hahranthus and Zephyranthes, which gives some reason to believe that the division as it stands is correct. Several flowers of Z. striata at Spofforth have lately been fertilized by Z. carinata, and others in the same pots by H.Andersoni, all the former appear to be forming seed, and all the latter have died away." For the foregoing interesting memorandum we are in- debted to the Honourable and Rev. William Herbert. We have for some time been aware of the error to which he alludes, and are happy to have the present opportunity of making it known. It will be necessary to expunge the name of Z. grandiflora from the catalogues, as it is a non- entity. '74J- '.

One of tlie most graceful of arborescent stove-plants, where there is sufficient heiglit for it to rear its slender stem to the elevation of ten or twelve feet. In appearance it re- sembles a Palm, and although, when its structure is carefully- examined, it is found not to be one of that princely tribe, yet there can be no doubt that it serves to connect the chain of vegetation, by bringing the Asparagus in contact with the Cabbage Palm. Linnseus took it for a species of Aspa- ragus. In place of again describing a plant which has repeatedly been already in the hands of Botanists, we shall confine ourselves on this occasion to an extract from the entertainino- work of Ellis on the Sandwich Islands. ''The Ti plant is common in all the South Sea Islands. It is a slow-growing plant, with a large, woody, fusiform * See folio 1169. VOL. XXI. C root, which, when first dug out of the ground, is liard and fibrous, almost tasteless, and of a white or light yellow colour. The natives bake it in large ovens underground, in the same manner as they dress the arwn and other roots. After baking it appears like a different substance altogether, being of a yellowish brown colour, soft, though fibrous, and saturated with a highly saccharine juice. It is sweet and pleasant to the taste, and much of it is eaten in this state, but the greater part is employed in making an intoxicating liquor much used by the natives. They bruise the baked roots with a stone, and steep them wdth water in a barrel, or the bottom of an old canoe, till the mass is in a state of fer- mentation. The liquor is then drawn off, and sometimes distilled, when it produces a strong spirit ; but the greater part of it is drank in its fermented state without any further preparation. The root is certainly capable of being used for many valuable purposes. A good beer may be made from it ; and in the Society Islands, though never able to granu- late it, we have frequently boiled its juice to a thick syrup, and used it as a substitute for sugar when destitute of that article. ^' We should think it an excellent antiscorbutic, and as such useful to ships in long voyages. Captains visiting the Society Islands frequently procure large quantities of it to make beer wdth during their voyage, as it wall keep good six weeks or two months after it is baked. On my return in the American ship Russell, Captain Coleman, we pro- cured a quantity that had been baked at Rurutu, near the Society Islands, and brought it round Cape Horn. It lasted ^Ye or six weeks, and would probably have kept longer, as the only change w-e perceived during that time w^as a slight degree of acidity in the taste. Cattle, sheep, and goats are fond of the leaves ; and as they contain more nutriment than any other indigenous vegetable, and may be kept on board ships several weeks, they are certainly the best provender that can be procured in the Islands for stock taken to sea. It is not so plentiful in the Sandwich Islands as it was before the natives used it for the above purpose, but in some of the other Islands of the Pacific it is ahundarit, and may be easily procured. *^ Other parts of the dracsena are also useful. The natives frequently plant the roots thickly around their enclosures, interweave the stems of the plant, and form a valuable per- manent hedge. The branch was always an emblem of peace, and in times of war, borne, together with a young plantain tree, as a flag of truce, by the messengers who passed between the hostile parties. The leaves, wove together by their stalks, formed a short cloak, which the natives wore in their mountainous journeys ; they also make the most durable thatch for the sides and roofs of their best houses, are em- ployed in constructing their tents in war, and their tem- porary abodes during their inland excursions." The specimen from which our drawing was taken was furnished by Mr. Lambert, in March 1834. It is propagated either by seeds or by truncheons of its stem, which when cut down will throw up suckers from its base, just as the Asparagus, when its early shoots are de- stroyed in the spring, will continue to replace them by fresh bourgeons from its bottom. c 'J //S(7. ^Za^.cU. ^/^ J". .^^^.^ /^ .^x,aM/vorth, by permission of Lord Fitzwilliam. We are not aware at what time, or by whom it was imported, but it has probably been taken for a green form of the common Cata- setum tridentatum, and consequently no record has been kept of it. It requires precisely the same treatment as Catasetums, and may be cultivated with facility by any one who has a damp stove. Jtc^y ^. Pierardi; and accordingly we took the species represented by Dr. Hooker in his Exotic Flora, as the authority for the name, and we considered Dr. Brown's Dendrohium cucullatum, to be a mere form of it. We have since had an opportunity of comparing P. Pierardi and cucidlatum side by side, in the utmost perfection in the stove of tbe Messrs. Loddiges, where these lovely species flowered in great splen- dour in January last, forming festoons two or three feet long, quite covered with the most delicate pink and yellow blossoms. At first sight they are so entirely the same that one does not immediately perceive in what their differences consist ; but upon a more attentive inspection it is found that D. cucullatum has larger flowers, with a broad roundish-ovate lip, the base of which is rolled up into a sort of short stalk, while in D. Pierardi the lip is rounded and very blunt, and its base is rolled into a much longer stalk, which quite conceals the column ; it is moreover remarkably incurved. These * See folio 1239. VOL. XXI. D dliferences are expressed at the bottom of the accompanying plate, where fig. 1. represents D. Pierardi, and fig. 2. I), cucullatum. Whether or not the latter is really a distinct species may possibly be doubted; but it is certainly so remarkable a form, as to have amply justified Dr. Brown in separating it from Pierardi. Allied to these plants are some new species, which we avail ourselves of the present opportunity of making known to Botanists. 1. D. ochrealum (Lindl, in Wall.

One of the prettiest things in the gardens of Schonbrunn is a Begonia house, filled with this genus and Ferns growing upon decayed wood and old tan.

D 2 is the more interesting, because its petals, distinct from the sepals, shew we were right in considering the tendency ot Begonia to be towards the production of a corolla, and that it is consequently correctly associated in the Nixus plantarum ^^'ith Polypetalous orders ; and secondly, that two or four being the number of the floral envelopes, when distinctly formed, the relationship of Se^omacece to OnagraricBis almost demonstrated. /yj'.^ j^^?^^. 1758 * ONCfDlUM citiliiuin.

A native of Trinidad, whence it was introduced by Messrs. Loddiges, in whose collection our drawing was made last November. Unfortunately the plant soon after sickened and died ; so that it is for the present lost to the country. It approaches very nearly to O. altisshimm^ figured at fol. 1651 of this work ; and is principally distinguished by the following characters. Its flowering stem is simple and not branched ; its flowers are of a pale lemon colour, very dis- tant from each other, and by no means so much spotted ; the crest of the lip consists of about eight warts, wliich are slightly downy, and not of nine smooth finger-like j)ro- cesses ; its stig-ma is nearlv orbicular, and not lon. 17G0 ■* BLETFA reflexa.

It is a terrestrial species, and a native of Mexico. The greenish colour of its flowers, and the remark- ably narrow reflcxed sepals, distinguish it at once from the remainder of the genus. The specimen figured was less brilliant in its colours, and altogether smaller than is to be expected hereafter ; for wild specimens now before us, collected by Baron de Karwinsky, and forming part of the Royal Bavarian Museum, have a rich purple cast upon every part of the flowers, and the scapes each bear from two to four blossoms.

It will not readily grow more than two or three feet high, and seems as if it preferred lying prostrate to twining round other plants. In common soil it can scarcely be kept alive, but in peat and loam it grows as readily as any other hardy American plant.

This very elegant tree is a native of Caraccas, whence it was intro- duced to the Imperial Gardens at Schonbninn, where it flowered for the first time in November 1789, and a description and figure have been given of it by the elder Jacquin in his magnificent work on the plants of that garden. A number of young plants were raised at the late Mr. Colvili's nursery, in 1829, from seeds collected in Caraccas by Mr. Fanning, to whom I am indebted for specimens of the ripe fruit. The young plants were observed to vary a good deal in the breadth of their leaves, and as some of them produced flowers in the spring of 1834, they were found to agree precisely with the plant here fio'ured, which blossomed about the same time in the stove of the Chelsea Botanic Garden, and which had been previously intro- duced from the continent under the name of- Theophrasta latifolia. The plant loves a high temperature, and should be grown in a soil composed of equal parts of loam and vegetable earth, and plenti- fully supplied with water while in a growing state. The late Sir James Edward Smith has expressed, in Rees's Cyclo- psedia, a suspicion of this species being identical with the Eresia of Plumier, the Theophrasta americana of Linnseus; but the latter having a large polyspermous fruit, and the former having seldom more than two seeds, completely sets the question at rest as to their specific difference at least. The Thcophrasteacecs^ consisting of Theophrasta, Clavija, Jac- quinia, and Leonia, constitute a small group intermediate between MyrsineoB and Sapotece, being distinguished from the former by their polyspermous fruit, foliaceous embryo, extrorse anthers, and by the presence of coronary appendages alternating with the stamina, and which are to be regarded as the rudiments of a second series of those organs. Theophrasta agrees with the present genus in having ex- trorse anthers, but differs in its campanulate corolla, annular inclosed crown, and free stamina. The dried flowers and seeds of Clavija and Jacquinia when immersed in warm water emit an agreeable fragrance resembling that of the Primrose. D. Don. For these valuable notes we are indebted to Mr. Don, who had an oppor- tunity of examining the specimen from which our drawing was made. We are only acquainted with the plant from the accounts of Jacquin to which Mr. Don has referred. Genus incertce sedis. 96. TozziA, Linn.

A native of the Bahamas, whence it was sent to the Hor- ticultural Society by John Campbell Lees, Esq. in 1833. From a plant which flowered last September the accom- panying drawing has been taken. The plant is very nearly allied to J^. odoratissimum, but its leaves are three times as long, and the flowering stem shoots up to the length of three feet, without a branch or a leaf beyond the little scales that appear upon it here and there ; the flowers moreover are larger, and the form of the segments of the lip materially diff'erent, while the * See folio 1415. F 2 callosities upon the disk of the latter distinguish it positively. In E. odoratissimum the disk is simply thickened and flat- tened and gradually thins away towards the base ; in E. qracile it is distinctly two-ribbed, and has two obsolete teeth a little below the middle. The want of beauty in this plant is amply compensated for by its delicious fragrance, early in the morning and at night. It seems as if it were more terrestrial than epiphy- tal, and grows freely in any light well drained soil. The patch sent home by Mr. Lees consisted of a mass of pseudo- bulbs nearly two feet in diameter. 1766 * VERBENA multifida ; var. contracta.

Raised from the seed of Paeonia Moutan by Mr. William Hyland, Gardener to the Earl of Sandwich, at Hinching- brook, near Huntingdon, and communicated to us by Michael Foster, Esq. This very beautiful variety is strikingly different from the other Moutans in the bright rosy red of the petals, the innermost of which are very much cut and gashed, curled lip, and distinctly bordered with a narrow edge of light carmine, which sets them off to great advantage, and gives the whole flower a peculiarly rich and finished appearance. Mr. Hyland informs us that the seed was sown in September, and did not germinate for eighteen months afterwards ; and that he finds such to be the case w^th all the seeds he has sown of this kind of Pseony. It flowered for the first time in April 1834, when the plant was only three years old. It may therefore be expected that the future blossoms will be still finer than what we have figured. //7^. r J ^/(i^j ^'zoAe,. J^y^- .ru/~ 4. J. ^iU^-uyvc^ /^f J'icca^ f^^J./ *CLIANTHUS puniceus.

The only account that has yet been given of this most beau- tiful plant is in tlie last part of the Horticultural Transactions ; where a figure is published from a specimen furnished by Mr. Levison Gower from his garden at Titsey, near Godstow. We are indebted to the same gentleman for the specimen from which our plate lias been prepared. It is a native of New Zealand, and, in the opinion of Mr. Allan Cunningham, probably to the southward of the Bay of Islands; and * From KktioQ glory, and av^oQ a flower, in reference to the noble aspect of the species of this beautiful genus. perhaps, on the shores of the River Tliames, or at Mercuiy Bay. Its seeds were sent by tlie Missionaries under tlie name of KowaingutU' halia, or Parrofs-Ull ; and were stated to be the produce of a large tree * but this was no doubt a mistake, as there is no reason to beHeve that 'the plant will grow more than three or four feet high. We extract the following account of it from the Horticultural Transactions. " When planted In a peat border in the open air, where it succeeds the best, it forms a half-herbaceous evergreen shrub, not very unlike an evergreen Vetch, or more correctly speaking, a scarlet Colutea, (Sutherlandia frutescens). Its leaves are smooth, pinnated, and of rather a succulent texture, consisting of about ei<>-ht pairs and an odd one. The stem is entirely free from furrows or angles, and is about as thick as a goose's quill. The flowers grow in oval clusters, hano-ino- down from the axils of the leaves upon the lateral branches ; each flower is rather more than three inches from the tip of the standard to the tip of the keel ; the petals are of a light bright rich crimson, without any mottling or marking; the standard, which is of an ovate lanceolate figure, and much tapered to the point, is reflexed so as almost to lie back upon the calyx ; the wings are very much shorter than the keel, the point of which is so much prolonged as to look like the beak of some bird, although it must be confessed not much like that of a parrot. The flowers are succeeded by brownish black pods, two inches and a half long, seated on a slender stipe, and convex on the upper instead of the lower edge : so that unless attention be paid to their manner of growth, it would seem as if the seeds grew to the lower instead of the upper edge. 1 hey are covered all over inside with a delicate cottony down, in which lie the small kidney-shaped seeds, of a dull yellowish-ochre colour, mottled with small dark brown blotches and speckles. <' From the trials that have been made of the proper mode of managing it, both by Mr. Gower and the Rev. John Coleman, by whom it was given to the former gentleman, it would appear that it succeeds best when treated as a hardy plant, and turned out into a peat border ; for in such a situation it has now been two years in Mr. Gower's garden, and the plants continue to look very healthy, with a profusion of blossoms forming for next year. Kept in a greenhouse it was sickly, and did not flower in the hands of Mr. Gower's gardener; but Mr. Cole- man succeeded in blossoming it in a large pot in the greenhouse, and in inducing it to ripen its pods, one of which is that here figured. '' Considering that the climate of New Zealand is in some places so much like that of England, that some species, such as Edwardsia microvhylla, will bear the rigour of our winters, it is not improbable that this may also prove a hardy plant. If so its extraordinary beauty will render it one of the most valuable species that has been introduced of late years ; and even if it should be no hardier than Sutherlandia frutescens, it will still form one of the most important and welcome of all the modern additions to our flower gardens." We refer our readers to the observations upon the other species made by Mr. Allan Cunningham in the place whence the foregoing- passage' has been extracted, for further information concerning these remarkable plants; adding only, that in the first place, the supposed attachment of the seeds to the lower suture of the pod, as described by Mr. Don, is a mistake, their attachment being in Clianthus as in all other Leguminosse, namely, to the upper suture ; and in the second, that as we are not aware of any reason why Dr. Solander's well-known name, Clianthus, should have been changed to that of Donia, we have not felt authorized to sanction the innovation. ,/L . -e:*!^. 3U-fy -•'.

It is by no means so handsome a species as the C. spinosa of the same country, whose branches are loaded with masses of white bloom which must have an exceed- ingly pretty effect.

It appears that there are two different species confounded under the name of PA. hnhricata ; namely, this one and that ^vhich is figured at fol. 1213 of this work. So long a time has elapsed since we saw the latter in flower that we are scarcely able to point out any very satis- factory characters to distinguish them, although we have no difficulty in acceding to the opinion of cultivators that tliey are in fact entirely distinct. We therefore propose to call Ph. pallida the plant before figured by the name of Ph. im- bricata, and to retain the latter designation for this, which was originally figured by Dr. Hooker in the Exotic Flora, and afterwards by Messrs. Loddiges in their Botanical Cabinet. They are both natives of India, and possibly occupy See fol. 1213. similar regions; they principally differ in the following particulars. P. pallida has very round blunt bracts, white flowers, smaller leaves, and grows very ^veakly and unwil- lingly under ordinary circumstances. P. imhricata has pointed bracts, yellowish flowers with a dash of violet, very long strong leaves, and grows and flowers most freely.

D. cupreum. Herb. MSS. A native of the East Indies, whence it was sent by Dr. Wallich to the Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert, about the year 1825. It flowered at SpofForth for the first time at Midsummer 1834, when the drawing was made by Mr. Herbert, which we have now the opportunity of pubhshing. It has been suspected that there are two Dendrobia in the East Indies, which agree with each other in a sort of tessellated appearance of the flowers, and a remarkably inflated slipper-like hairy labellum ; one of these, called D. moschatum, has pale orange coloured blossoms, and a lip with 5 crested veins near its base ; the other, to which the name of D. Calceolaria has been applied by Dr. Hooker, has rose coloured flowers with a little yellow in the centre, and is said to be destitute of the crested veins of the lip. There is, moreover, a Z>. clavatum of Dr. Wallich's Indian Catalogue, the specimens that were distributed of which * See folio 1239. G 2 b were too imperfect to be described in tlie Genera and Species of Orchideoiis plants ; but whether this plant is one of the preceding, or something altogether distinct is unknown. Furthermore, the plant now represented belongs to the same little cluster, and appears as if it might form a fourth species, unless indeed it should prove to be this D. clavatum. We have had no opportunity of examining it, but Mr. Herbert describes it to us in such a manner as to shew that it must be different from D. Calceolaria at least. " Its flowers are of a pale copper colour, veined with a redder tinge, and have two brown red blotches inside the lip. The spike of ten large flowers all expanded simultaneously, and the progress was so rapid that only about a week or ten days elapsed between its shewing bud and bursting into bloom. Independently of the colour of the flowers this species differs from D. Calceolaria in not having such long shoots, and in having the leaves less attenuated and shorter. D. Calceolaria under the same treatment makes shoots above four feet long ; this plant under three feet. It is curious that these Dendrobiums if they miss flowering put forth a young plant instead of a spike of flowers at the point of inflorescence, as D. Calceolaria is doing here now."

It flowers in June and propagates very slowly by offsets, after the manner of an Aloe, with which it agrees in many of its habits. * Named in compliment to his Highness the Prince of Salm — Reifferscheid- Dyck, a great lover of Gardening, and one of the most liberal and intelligent of the noble patrons of science of the present day. The dry stove seems to suit it, for there it produces its rich orange flowers in great perfection, and retains them in all their freshness and beauty for several weeks. We do not understand upon what principle this genus is referred to the Linnsean Hexandria Moiiogynia, instead of Trigynia, for it unquestionably has 3 distinct styles ; unless it is to be considered a new case of the necessity of under- standing the natural affinities of plants in order to use the sexual system. Few persons, when they look at the leaves of a plant, ever think of the curious internal mechanism by which all its vital actions are put and maintained in motion ; and yet there is not in the whole range of the creation a more singular object than a leaf, nor one whose structure is a more admirable instance of design and forethought. The internal anatomy in this species is highly curious and very easily examined. It consists as usual of a quantity of cellular matter enclosed in a cuticle, but the arrangement of the parts, which is most uncommon, is probably connected with the habits of life of the species in its native wildernesses. The cuticle is hard and composed on the upper surface of three, and on the lower of five layers of extremely minute compact cubical cells. The leaf itself is plane above and convex below ; corresponding with the convexity is a stratum of equal thickness of dodecahedral cells, which are green, and pierced towards their upper side by the parallel veins of the leaf; above this structure is a very thick plano- convex bed of hard prismatical cells, which are planted nearly perpendicularly below the cuticle ; so that when the section of the leaf is viewed by the naked eye it appears, as is indicated in our figure, as if it consisted of a common thin channelled leaf, whose concavity is filled up by cartilaginous matter. It is also worthy of remark, that in tlie lower stratum the tissue below each vein is much more lax and cavernous than that which is interspersed between the veins. The stomates are small and imperfect, and occupy a double or triple line in each furrow, lying concealed among the scurfiness. ^yj'S. .'JzoA^. i;^. .S'lc/:-t:y y. ^Icc^^u^u^/ J'f^ :/^c7a.^i.^. oO,^ Hy Xj?i.J^ -ay /dTj^ ^l:cuM^ ^/^/. 7.

A beautiful greenhouse climber, obtained from Swan River seeds sent home by Sir James Stirling. Our first specimens were communicated by Mrs. Marryat, we after- wards received others from the garden of Mr. Robert Mangles. It flowers abundantly from April to July, pro- ducing a striking appearance with its numerous scarlet blossoms. As it is easily propagated by cuttings it will soon become a common plant. Different as this is from K. prostrata it is not easy to fix upon any very decisive mark of distinction. It is much larger in all its parts, and very much more hairy ; in fact its young leaves and stems are perfectly shaggy. The leaflets are larger, far more wavy, and shorter than their stalk. The flowers grow about four in a cluster, instead of two, or being altogether solitary. The fruit we have not seen. * Sec folio 1421. //y/. •^laA^.aH:^-. ^-u >.ry /&y s7^-.xjt<^^^y^ y^. / /(^JS. ^'!U^Y ul-'^./.A^S^. 1794 *IP0M(P:A Aituni. Mr. Aitoiis Ipomma, PENTANDIIIA MO^WGYNIA.

This strictly belongs to the genus Ipomoea, as it lias at length been limited by Professor Choisy. The only points in its structure which particuUirly deserve mention, are the thickened tube of its corolla, and the collection of ghmds at the base of each stamen, imitating as it were in Ipomoea the scale of the genus Lepistemon. Increased by seeds and cuttings, the former of wliich are produced in some abundance.

Lexarza and La Llave on the mountains near Valladolid, a town of Mexico, flowering in August. The native name is Azuzena amarllla. It is one of the handsomest plants of the Avhole order of Orchidege, and is especially remarkable for its stately appearance;, the rich orange of its flowers, and the long time they continue to open. The specimen in Messrs. Loddiges' collection grows to the height of a man; that from whicli our drawing was made was furnished by Mr. Bateman, in February 1834. * So called in compliment to James Robert Gowen, Esq. under whose care were conducted many of the curious experiments upon cross fertilization at iligh- clere, the seat of the Earl of Carnarvon. It is found to bear the hottest and dampest stove, but like all the terrestrial species requires a season of repose. Beautiful as is this plant it must be equalled in the showiness of its blossoms by the Maxillaria liliacea, or Azuzena del Monte of the people of Valladolid, in the neighbourhood of which town it growls beneath tlie shade of trees. This plant is described as having a scape about a foot high, terminated by a thryse of snow-white flowers, whose segments are variegated with purple lines, and whose lip is spotted at the base with yellow. It is also in all probability a Govenia, and may be named G, liliacea. Of a similar noble aspect is a species collected in Mexico by Count Karwinski, near Atotovilco el Chico, in a cool climate, flowering in June and July. Specimens of this plant, belonging to the Royal Herbarium of Munich, are now before us. The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, tapering to each end, especially to the point, a foot long and about 5 inches wide, and very like those of Govenia siiperha, except that they are smaller. The stem is stated to be five feet high. It is terminated by a short and very dense headed raceme of large flowers, to each of which is an oblong obtuse bract, not quite so long as the ovary. The raceme is 4 inches long, and as much broad at the base. In the form of the flowers it resembles Govenia superha very much, but they are three times as large ; the sepals are an inch and half long and the other parts in proportion. The lip has an ovate form, but is not cordate at its base, it is not quite half so long as the sepals, and is marked tow^ards its end with largish round very dark dots. The colour of the flowers cannot be ascertained from the dried specimen, but seems to have been pale and uniform ; probably pale yellow. This plant may be thus distinguished — G. capltata ; labello ovato obtuso, racemo capitato, bracteis oblongis obtuslus- culis, foliis oblongis acuminatis basi angustatis scapo multo brevioribus. \y' ^.

Since that time Chile has been stated to be the origin of the species, but we know not upon what certain authority ; not a spe- cimen have we ever seen of it from that country. We should almost be inclined to suspect it to be some garden production, if it did not remain true from seed ; at all events we agree with Dr. Hooker in referring it to M. luteus as a variety. It is the prettiest of the genus, and is raised with the greatest facility, provided its seed is sown in a damp place under the shade of a wall, or where it is not fully exposed to See folio 1330. the sun's rays. So treated it grows vigorously and flowers beautifully in May and June, and will come up again in the same place year after year from its self-sown seeds. But if exposed to too bright a sun, and to dryness^ it loses its vigorous habit, and becomes a poor dwindling thing not worth cultivation. It will also strike out freely from cuttings. 1797 * PLEURO THALLIS Grobyi. The Grohij Pleurothallis. GYNANDRIA MONA^BRIA. Nat. ord. OiicHiDE^], §.

(See Grobya Amherstiee, fol. 1740.) It is nearly related to P. picta from the same country, and with it belongs to a very pretty set of species, all of which are characterized by having their leaves so much longer than the secondary stems as to conceal them and to form dense tufts. It is readily cultivated in the Orchideous house; but where the atmosphere is not very damp, will require to be kept under a bell-glass. Our drawing was made at Messrs. Loddiges in April last.

A fine tree, native of Chile, where the inhabitants call it Mayu. It was introduced by Messrs. Loddiges in 1822, having been sent them by General Paroissien under the name of '^ Sophora Myrospermum.'' It proves to be a hardy handsome tree, flowering in May in great profusion. We believe that it at present exists in no other collection. This is plainly an Edwardsia^ notwithstanding the opinion of the late Sir James Smith to the contrary, and notwith- standing the alleged want of wings to its pods. Supposing that fact to be as stated, it only shews that the winged pod is unessential to the genus Edwardsia, and not that the genus itself is a bad one ; for surely if there be any one genus on which Nature has set her mark more distinctly than another it is this. Mistakes like those of Smith are the certain accompaniments of the meagre system of artificial Botany. *^ See folio 738. It is the short loose axillary racemes, the hard cup- shaped calyx, slit on the upper side, and the broad vexillum which overlaps tlie other petals and is usually absolutely parallel with them, that distinguish Edwardsia from Sophora, whose racemes are terminal, calyx soft and regularly toothed, and vexillum narrow and recurved, or reflexed X /,/:/. ^^ 179/ * MAXILLA Rl A crocea.

It is the most interesting of this splendid genus, on account of the extremely delicate waxy appearance of its surface, the softness of its ground colour, and the richness of the deep purple spots, which lying upon a bright yellow field so very conspicuously ornament the base of the lip and the petals. Our drawing was taken from a most noble specimen produced in July 1834, in the stove of Mr. Bateman. The leaves, including the petioles, were more than two feet long, and being of the darkest green had a most imposing appear- ance. Mr. Bateman informs us that he finds it requires eight such leaves to form a flowering plant ; and that those who wish to succeed in blossoming it must suffer it to remain a long time undisturbed, since a good many pseudo-bulbs are required to furnish one really fine specimen. The singular form of the labellum of this and some other Orchideous plants has rendered it necessary to distin- guish it into three parts for the convenience of description. * See folio 1529. K 2 The lowest part of tlie lip is the hypocJdlumi, the upper end the cpichUiuni, and the intermediate portion the mesochilium. AW these parts are, however, nothing more than divisions in a very fleshy lip, produced by contractions of its sides, and by the lobes, so common in the order, variously arranged and combined. The species is at once known by the narrowness and length of the hypochilium, independently of all other cir- cumstances. It is said to be a native of Brazil ; but we suspect some mistake in this statement. It is certainly wild in Mexico, for it exists among Count Karwinski's plants in the Royal Munich Herbarium. //V'/. 3^^i^. . r £^^y Z^' ^aJ^-^^ ^. ^ ^df'SS. 1801 ^PRI'JNUS japonica. llie Single Chinese Plum.

Tlie double state. It is always interesting to procure the wild forms ot cultivated species, and so see from what humble originals Nature produces some of the most striking of her works. The double Chinese Plum, or Almond, as it is often incorrectly called, is beyond all comparison the handsomest plant of its season ; there is nothing to vie with its crowded clusters of most delicate blushing flowers, the petals of which are loosely, but symmetrically, arranged into the most perfect of vegetable beauties. The simple shrub now represented is its origin, and is one of the many examples of the creation by the patient Chinese of the fairest ornaments of the garden, from the most inconspicuous plants of the woods. For its introduction the public is indebted to John Reeves, Esq., by whom so large a proportion of all the fine Chinese flowers now common all over Europe have been procured for this country. It appears to be a hardy shrub ; our specimen, however, was taken in January last, from a plant which had flowered in a greenhouse. The double state of the species is represented in the first volume of this work. See folio 1243. i i ..^UiiJ- S^TCZ^S- Cl^< ) .^cc^x^vi-t"/^- Ci:<^ ^^(^'S^- 1802 * MAXILLARIA picta.

A truly beautiful plant found wild in the Organ moun- tains of Brazil, and originally introduced by the late lamented Mrs. Arnold Harrison. When well managed it throws up a profusion of its gay speckled flowers, which remain perfect for some time. Our drawing was made in the stove of the Messrs. Loddiges in November 1834. There are two other unpublished species of Maxillaria, belonging to this section, which we take this opportunity of naming. 1. M. riifescens ; pseudobulbis ovatis subtetragoiiis monophyllis, foliis lanceo- latis utrinque acuminatis, scapis unifloris prostratis vaginis minimis distanti- bus, sepalis petalisque oblongis conformibus obtusis, labello oblongo trilobo etuberculato laciniis lateralibus minimis acutis intermedia elongatu cmar- ginata. A native of Trinidad, whence it was imported by Mr. Lowe of Clapton. Our description is taken from a drawing and flower transmitted from Chatsworth in December 1834. See folio 1428. It is a species of no beauty. The sepals are a dull greenish purple, the petals and lip yellow, the latter speckled with dull purplish red. Possibly the specimen was bleached, and the colours would become brighter if the plant had flowered in brighter weather. Stands next M. picta. 2.

A native of Demerara; imported by Mr. Lowe ; flowered m Messrs. Loddiges' collection, January 1835. A small and inconspicuous species. The blossoms are pale yellow, with the segments a little banded with purple near the base. Not very nearly related to any known species. /Sc'J 1803 *CHIR6nIA peduncukiris. Long-stalked Clnronta.

Nothing can be easier than its management, as it grows in any kind of soil, will thrive out of doors in summer, and will survive the winter without injury in a very indifferent greenhouse. * Named in honour of Chiron the Centaur, one of tlic earliest medical prac- titioners whose names have been preserved. The intense bitterness of the genus indicates its powerful tonic properties. We are unacquainted with its history ; it does not seem to have been before described ; and we have not been able to learn even its native country. In gardens it is called Chironia trinervis, but it is a totally different plant from the Ceylon species so named by Linnaeus, which appears to be a genuine Exacum, as that genus is limited by Dr. Brown in his Prodromus. The bitterness of the species is most remarkable, even m ong its bitter neighbours. J^o..^0z^.4^. aie^. J^J-Zy ^^ ja<^>^^/K^ J%r^..*i^- A^- ^ ^d^S. 1804 * MAXILLARIA densa.

A native of Mexico, whence it was imported by the Messrs. Loddiges, in whose stove it flowered in January last. It belongs to that set of Maxillarias on which the genus was founded by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, and which in some respects appear to differ from those with which we are but acquainted in Gardens. The stems rise some height above the ground, and are closely invested witli brown withered scales, from the axils of which spring the pseudo-bulbs and flowers ; in most Maxillarias on the contrary, there seems to be no stem, but the pseudo-bulbs sit close upon the ground, as in M. plcta and ochroleuca. In truth, however, there is a stem in both kinds ; only it is erect and above ground in the one, and prostrate or underground in tlie other. And so it is with all the pseudo-bulbous Orchideae; their true stem is in most cases a rhizoma, like that of Iris, rooting on the side that touches the ground, and pushing up leaves and pseudo-bulbs on the other. * See folio 1428. /dc^J. 1805 * FI'JCHSIA discolor.

A native of Port Famine in the Falkland Islands, whence it was some years since introduced by Mr. Lowe. Our draw- ing w^as made from a plant in the Garden of the Horticultural Society in August last. It has the same season of flowering as the other Fuchsias, and may be increased readily by cuttings in like manner. If we are asked to state in what respects this differs botanically from F. gracilis and tenella, we should find it very diflicult to answer the question. And yet it is a decidedly different plant ; remarkable for its compact, bushy manner of growth, its deep purple branches, its small very undulated leaves, and also for its being apparently more hardy than any other Fuchsia yet in the Gardens. For the latter reason we attach especial importance to it, for by a judicious intermixture of its pollen with such beautiful plants as F. conica, globosa, and its other more tender relatives, the whole race may probably be rendered capable of bearing See folio 1269. tlie climate of (ireat Britain, and may tlius become far more generally valuable than they yet are. It is probable that those are right who consider the greater part of the Chilian Fuchsias mere varieties of F. macrostema, and if so this will have to be added to the list as a dwarf contracted kind. F, glohosa and conica are, however, to all appearance distinct species. /fc70. ^^.f^^^^. 1811 ^ MAXILLARIA cristata. Crested Maxillaria. GYNANDRIA ^WNA^BRIA. Nat. ord.

For the opportunity of publishing this remarkably beautiful epiphyte, we are obliged to Mr. Knight, of the King's Road Nursery, with whom it flowered in the stove in July last. It is a native of Trinidad, growing on old decayed branches of trees near the Mud Lake. We have seen a drawing of it taken on the spot, and it was in no degree superior in beauty to the present specimen. The lip is a most curious organ. It is of a firm fleshy texture, and is deeply divided into three parts ; of these the * See folio 1206. two lateral ones are falcate and smooth, wliile the middle one is rounded, has a strong tooth on each side, and is hordered hy a deep white fringe of necklace-shaped liairs ; then the short stalk of the lip has four or more such hairs growing straight from its border, and the disk is furnished with a large white two-lobed flat tooth, the divisions of which diverge from each other.

A native of the West Indies, whence it has been obtained by Mrs. Marryat, in whose stove at Wimbledon it flowered in June last. Like all the other hothouse species it strikes readily from cuttings. It is cliiefly remarkable for the large size, and singular colour of its flowers, which are beautifully variegated with purjDle and dirty yellow ; they have a most disagreeable disgusting smell, which will prevent the plant from becoming a favourite. Nearly allied to A. grandiflora, from which it is distin- guished by the smooth tube of its calyx, the colour of the same part, kc. &c.

Grohyi already figured in this work (fol. 1797), from which it principally differs in its spatliula- shaped retuse leaves, and in the narrower form of all the parts of the flower ; as will be seen by comparing the dissections in the two plates. This also is a native of Demerara, and was sent ns by Mr. Loddiges first in October 1834, and next in March 1835, when our drawing was made. It is a graceful pretty species, and well deserves an attentive examination. Its tufts are rapidly formed under good management, but It seems to require tlie close atmosphere of a bell-glass.

The double varieties of this species, crimson, yellow, buff, and even white, are not uncommon in collections, but the single state which is now represented, although muclt handsomer, is comparatively rare. Instead of a crowd of ragged, unequal, ill-arranged petals, destitute of all symmetry, occupying the centre of the flower, we have a long graceful curved crimson tube, terminated by a brush of bright yellow anthers, which surround five little crimson velvet cushions of stigmas. It is easily propagated by cuttings, but requires a good stove to flower in perfection. Our drawing was made in that of the Horticultural Society in September 1834. According to Loureiro this species is spontaneous both in China and Cochinchina ; where it is employed for many * See folio 1163. purposes as an emollient. The flowers tinge spirits of wine red, or by the addition of a little alum a beautiful violet. Shoes or other similar things are blackened, by rubbing the flowers upon them. In Cochinchina the plant is so common that garden hedges are often made of it. Rumf says that in Amboyna it was in his days employed as a common ornament on occasions of festivity and even at funerals. From its constant use for blacking shoes it had acquired the barbarous Portuguese name of Fula Sapato. /d2 V m mii// i W/fer . c. /./'/J J O . .-^^^-f^. 1827 * FlMEl.KA ligustrlna.

A neat species of the extensive genus Pimelea, found from Van Diemen's Land to Port Jackson, and growing in its native places as much as ten feet high. We have specimens from Mr. Gunn of Launceston, and others. It is a hardy greenhouse plant, readily multiplied by cuttings. It only requires good ventilation during winter, so as to prevent its being destroyed by damp. Our drawing was made in Mr. Lowe's Nursery in March 1834. We are not aware of the particular part of the island of Van Diemen in w^hich this shrub occurs ; but if it is from the south side it will probably prove hardy in the southern parts of England. * Sec folio 1268.

Beng. p. 63), that I should consider tliem as identical, if he had not ascribed bulbs to his plant, of which ours is entirely destitute. In the Calcutta garden the two plants maintain that character, although in other respects they are alike. It is possible that under particular circumstances, the bulbs or pseudo-bulbs may become elongated into clavate stems, and if so the Silhet plant would be the same species with ours from Nipal." The above we borrow from Dr. Wallich's splendid Plantae Asiaticse. Beautiful as is the specimen of this plant, represented in the accompanying figure, it is still inferior to what is pro- duced in India, so that cultivators have still a point to gain in respect to this charming species. Our drawing was made in the stove of Messrs. Loddiges in May last. Since the last addition to the published species of Den- drobium, we have received from Mr. Allan Cunningham specimens of a most remarkable new kind, with the fol- lowing memorandum. " Dendrohlum cassythoides; aphyllum, caule glabro stoloni- fero, floribus racemosis, racemis (stolonibus oppositis) sub- tribrachiatis, bracteis lanceolato-ovatis appressis, labello con- voluto indiviso apice incurvo crispato, [callo lineari in medio vt altero ovato acuminato sub apice."] "A leafless stoloniferous plant, with tribrachiate racemes of flowers, of which the perianths are of a brownish or golden yellow colour, and the labellum white, and elegantly pencilled within, as in D. Picrco'dl/' '' Found growing' from tlie crevices of sandstone rocks, on the eastern side of Sydney Cove, Port Jackson, where it was observed in flower in October 1834." — R. C. *' The above is extracted from a letter from my brother, Mr. Richard Cunningham, dated August 2, 1834. He adds, " I send you in a bottle a Dendrobium, whicli, not fin(h'iig noticed in either printed or manuscript enumerations in my possession I have called Cassythoides, from the pnmci facie resemblance it has to Uie genus Cassytha, not only in its leafless character and short racemes of flowers, but in its peculiar chocolate bronze or japanned papulose stems — it may be found, that it also resembles it in its climbing propensities." It is not a little remarkable that so highly curious a plant as this should so long have been overlooked, although a native of a locality which, as Mr. Allan Cunningham remarks, has doubtless been traversed by Botanists of many countries in Europe, who have visited Port Jackson in ships of discovery since the Colony was founded in January 1788. viz., Frencli, Spanish, German, Swedish, Russian, &c., besides many of our own countrvmen.
