THE PARADISUS LONDINENSIS: COLOURED FIGURES Plants | : CULTIVATED IN THE VICINITY OF THE METROPOLIS. BY WILLIAM HOOKER, PUPIL OF FRANCIS BAUER, ES2. BOTANIC PAINTER TO THEIR MAJESTIES AT KEW. ‘* Hic ver assiduum atque alients menstbus estas.” Londor : PRINTED BY D. N. SHURY, BERWICK STREET, AND PUBLISHED BY WILLIAM HOOKER, NO. 6, FRITH STREET. "1805. Mo. Bot. Garden 4903, PREF ACE. OO THE present taste for Botany, so general among all ranks, and the great encourage- ment given to works of merit in that fascinating science, first emboldened the Publisher of the present undertaking to solicit assistance from several distinguished Collectors of Plants in the vicinity of the Metropolis. Having been at length enabled by their liberality to bring forward, among the rest of his brethren, some of the efforts of his pencil, it would be dastardly in him not to own that his hopes of success overbalance his fears; it now only remains with the Public at large to appreciate his labours, and become his best patrons. Anxious however for fame, rather than inordinate profit, he will be content with very small interest for the sums advanced; and the descriptions of his figures will be corrected, or often wholly drawn. up, by a Botanist more learned than - himself, It may not be improper to add a few words respecting that department of the work. In all similar publications which have hitherto appeared, not evenexcepting the most respectable, a considerable portion of each page has been filled with useless repetitions of the classes, orders, and generic characters of the sexual system. No one who pretends to the least knowledge of the science is without the Genera Plantarum of Linne, nor any one who is solicitous to gain deeper information, without that of Jussieu. The transcendant merit of the last author, however, having yet never been detailed among us, the natural order to which he refers each genus here figured will always be inserted preceding its character ; this will be only given with the first species, making such alterations, or remarks, as the investigation of it suggests. Botany, likeall other sciences, has lately made a rapid progress in improvement, and in no branch+so con- — spicuously as that which relates to the affinities of genera; more might be said on this head, if it were not already anticipated in a short but most energetic paragraph of the Edinburgh Review. With regard to the Plants themselves, such only as are new, _ uncommonly beautiful, or incompletely figured by others, will be selected ; and of these the harvest is abundant. | 4 av oe. melluiam Grant oram SETS ESS 20 tA RY eal Se 2 ate a Feu, Fey so ll a 2 pie OO ae PLATE I.

Corolla towards the top covered with brown hairs. Style long, and standing out from the centre towards the bractes. It flowers here, asat the Cape of Good Hope, from the latter end of Spring to the middle of Summer, and may be propagated by cuttings planted in sandy loam, under a bell glass, during the months of May and June. ae et i we Jp & =e € pd Liublshed by W.

Lee and Kennedy, and has been hitherto known in their ‘nursery by the name of Latifolium; but I dare not quote the plant Dr. Smith has taken up under that title in the Annals of Botany as the same; for he describes the leaflets “ obovate-oblonga” and “ venosa.” The young stem, if observed through a microscope, is covered with dark green dots, of which I find no traces in the leaves. The calyx in a young state is very similar both in colour and shape to the future pod, so that the whole plant to a careless observer has the appearance of being in fruit before it flowers, It may be propagated by cuttings. ; REFERENCES TO THE PLATE. 1, The Calyx. 2, The Anthers and Germen. 3.

This genus has no real affinity to Juncus, however similar in general appearance. It comes nearer Asphodelus than any other I have yet examined, having its few leaves obtusely mucro- nated, with their margin dilated into a chaffy stipule, the receptacle articulated, and one sessile seed near the centre of each cell. The name, as we learn from Lobel, was given be- fore his time by some of the Montpellier Botanists; not that they supposed the plant totally destitute of leaves, but from their being few and soon withered. It grows plentifully near Castelnau, where I gathered it in the year 1786, and will thrive with us under any dry wall. _ Nothing can be more faulty than Poiret’s description, though it appears he had the living plant _ before hii; he says, “ Chaque fleur offre plusieurs Bales univalves, six a Filamens *“ attachés a lorifice de la corolle, Fruit contenant un grand nombre de semences.” Then, by a of corollary to the above, he adds, “ Ce genre est si voisin des Juncus qu'il n’y a guéres “ gue la corolle que les distingue.” 3 SSS REFERENCES TO THE PLATE. - A leaf spread open.

Whether the passages he quotes contain any thing like exultation, and . which of us treads most closely in the steps of the great Linné, I leave others to judge ; but the next time he pays my labours a compliment, I beseech him not to do this at the expence of a friend, whom he affects to value and respect so highly, as the author of the Plante Guianenses, the descriptions and figures of which, in point of botanical accuracy, far excel any given to the world by him. : (1) Vide Exot, Botany, p- 86. + 4% Lamine foliorum peltate.

I have only seen asingie specimen of this traly magnificent plant, which flowered for the first time in this country ina large tub of water planged in a common hotbed, at J. Vere’s, Esq. It appears from Dr. Roxburgh’s valuable manuscripts, preserved in Sir Joseph Banks’s library, that the flowers are sometimes 7 or 8 inches diameter and inedorous. He regards this and the foregoing as varieties, but I am induced ‘to believe they are legitimate species for the following reasons: Ist. The leavesofthis aré rounder and often variegated with large deep red blots on their upper surface, but never spotted on their under surface; 2dly, The dichotomous branches of the primary nerves are more frequently uninterrupted by transverse nerves till they reach the margin; 3dly, The economy of the flower in this genus renders any adulterous intercoursé with other species very difficult, Both these Hindostan plants are well established in the princely aquarium of the Marquis of Blandford, where I hope another year to have the honour of describing them minutely, and fully ascertaining whether they should be kept sepa- i rate or joined together.

From a specimen in Sir Joseph Banks’s Herbarium, gathered by Forskhol, there is no doubt that this is the Aigyptian plant described by Savigny, whose figure is copied without much improvement in the Jardin de Malmaison. It appears to grow all over Hindostan, and I believe the plant of New Holland found by Sir Joseph Banks in Endeavour river, also to be the same. Printed by D. N.

The specific characters and descriptions of Cavanilles seldom do him any credit, and respecting this Dahlia he has blundered as usual ; for its leaflets ‘are neither more acuminated than those o the others, nor smooth on their lower disk ; and the ligulated florets of the second variety are of a deep marygold colour, not scarlet ; so that Ido not wonder at Dr. Sims hesitating to quote him. itis a more delicate species than the other: the stem frequently tinged with purple, quite round, and covered with a fine glaucous dew: principal leaves bipinnated often with one or two very small leaflets at the base of the partial petioles: Flowers a little fragrant, but when they decay exhaling a stronger smell, more like that of Saffron. The variety with yellow flowers has only been lately introduced into this country from Madrid, by the Right Honb* Lady Holland, and flowered for the first time this Autumn. ‘ ——— ann REFERENCES TO THE PLATE. 1.

Of the above varieties I have only seen the second and last, neither of which agree in colour with the plant of the Botanical Magazine, so that another figure will not be useless. A more important reason for giving it however is to shew the structure of its fruit, which is 3-locular, though that of the species delineated in the first plate of this work is as certainly 1-locular. When I offered, a very short time before the publication of the Paradisus Londinensis in June last, to assist Mr. Hooker, all the Trildiwms in our gardens were faded, so that I was under the necessity of drawing up the Generic Character from dried specimens ; but having these two now living in my own collection, I am enabled to amend it. In the 855% number of the Be anical Magazine the first species is referred to T.

The tuberous rooted Pelargoniums from the Cape of Good Hope, are so numerous and distinct in their habit, that it is greatly to be wished some character could be found to separate them asa genus. In every flower of the specimen of that now figured which I examined, the An were persistent, not falling off soon after shedding their pollen as in most other Pelargoniums : but whether this circumstance is peculiar to the whole section, or even constant in this one species, I have not yet had an opportunity of ascertaining. It seems allied to Mr. Kennedy’s Roseum, well figured in the Botanical Repository, andthe Calyx being considerably swelled at the base may perhaps distinguish it from that andsome others: to give a good specific character however im such a genus requires more time than I can now spare. Introduced by G. Hibbert, Esq. in 1800, and knownin our nurseries by the name of the Advertised Geranium. ——K;—;—z———E==ES REFERENCES TO THE PLATE. i. Anupper Petal magnified. 2.

The apparatus of hairs in the corolla to prevent, as I conjecture, minute insects from robbing the flowers of their honey, is very curious. Many botan ists, even Jussieu and Gertner, describe ‘the seeds in several genera of this Natural Order, as naked: on this subject I must refer my readers to some observations in the Generic Characters of English Botany collated with those of Linné, p. 15. under Myosurus, which are corroborated by Monsieur Turpin’s valuable physiolo.. gical paper in the Jast number of the Annales du Museum @ Histoire Naturelle.

Though not so handsome a species of the genus, as that figured last month, yet it deserves a place in the stove from being almost constantly in flower, where it ripens seeds in abundance. Sir Hans Sloane in the work above quoted recommends a decoction of the herb in dropsical cases, telling us that it was prescribed by the natives of the West Indies in his time for other disorders, and Jacquin found it sensibly pungent to the taste. The plant is particularly luxu- riant at Isaac Swainson’s, Esq. who communicated the specimen. Stem not annual, but in time iashaewteat woody, hairy while young. Leaves bright green. Petiole long : cane nh Jance-shaped, sharply serrated, the principal nerve towards the bottom hairy undern where smooth. Flowers in a very long slender spike, without smell. Peduncle deeply kiiowad out for each flower, the cavity shining. Bracte closely prest to the calyx, membranaceous towards the base, and slightly torn or crenulate. Calyx only about two lines and a half in length, exceedingly comprest, four-toothed, the dorsal nerve terminating below the top. Corolla violet-blue, internally bearded as in ¢ Mutabdilis.

Nothing evinces the sound judgment of a botanist more than his opinions respecting genera: it behoves him therefore who labours in this branch of the science, to proceed cautiously, and study if possible, all the genera allied to that. which he means to ‘establish. Linné first pro- a certain degree of conformity in the fructification of different v eiables, which decides the matter imperatively, and often contrary to our will and pleasure: for while some genera consist of a hundred, two hundred, and even three hundred species, in others such a peculiarity of flower and fruit is confined to one individual. In numerous genera moreover, the stigma 1s seldom ready to receive the pollen discharged by its own anthers, whereas in those which consist of a single species, there is often a physical impossibility for it to imbibe that of any other ; and our great master’s theory respecting the origin of the vegetables which cover this earth, is strongly corroborated by the above facts. is ? : as these considerations I must follow John Bartram, the venerable discoverer of the tree now figured, in separating it from Gordonia, though against the authority of that excellent year, the pericarpium slightly immersed im the receptacle, besides having 5 styles ; he has thus I . fa. pretence to call it Franklinia: it differs from Gordonia in the filaments not being inserted in — 5 solid bodies; from Hamocharis (G. Hamatoxylum Swartz) in its monopetalous corolla ; Stuartia in its deciduous calyx; from Malachodendron in its simple style ; and from all of them in the structure of its fruit and seeds. Nothing could be more luxuriant than the flowers were this autumn in the open air at Messrs. Lee and Kennedy’s nursery, where the drawing was made; but the dissection of the fruit is from one imported some years ago, by Mr, Allport, seedsman, along with those of the Micium Floridanum, and Nelumbium Luteum. In its native soil it attains the height of 20 feet. Stem erect with branches radiated as in Terminalia; of the secondary ones, those which tend towards the principal stem or branch are shorter and sometimes entirely wanting. Leaves alternate, frondose or crowded near the ex. tremities of the branches: Petiole from 5 to 3 lines long, cottony especially on the upper side which is scarcely channelled: Lamina from 5 to 3 inches long, horizontal, generally obovate.

Filaments gold colour, inserted in the corolla and somewhat higher towards J id f each segment.

Some valnable observations are made by Jussien in his 12% class, respecting the difficult genera of Umbellifere: but though I agree with him and Crantz, that the primary characters should be taken from their fruit, surely Artedi’s distinctions afford excellent secondary characters. Indeed in several genera, as t this of Astrantia, the structure of the partial sig eee is so singuiar as to overpower every other char ops and when there is no Involucrum at all, that circumstance ought to be mentioned: for, as one of the most learned botanists now a lity ‘has remarked, it is sometimes of as much Paice A to know what parts are absent, as what parts are present, in a genus. In the 16th number of. Exotic Botany, that author tells us he must dissent from Linné, re- specting this genus, by considering the soarae asa single umbel. Now analogy, which. is the only reason = assigns for this notion, leads me to describe it with Linné and all other writers, mbel: for even in A. Minor, the peduncles if carefully examined will not be found truly alternate, and in the other species they evidently proceed from one common centre. Gertner’s authority on this point, is too ambiguous to be brought | forward, for though he does say ** Umbella simplex,” he immediately contradicts those words by adding *¢ Involucrum utrum- que polyphy!lum.” _ For this new species, Mr. ease is indebted to his em friend Mr. Bell. 1t may be in- cap ae from .4- Major, which it most resembles, by the serratures of the partial . rvolu t tuberous.

He probably trusted to Rumpn’s figure, in which no corona appears ; but in Sir Josep Banks’ herbarium there is a specimen of our plant, gathered by Mr. Curistopuer Siti not many years ago in the Island of Amboyna, a C th suc ves from 3to 5, of a pale yellow green colour: Petiole long and narrow: Lamina very large, surfaces: Nerves ver nearly circular-cordate, quite entire, shortly acuminate, smooth on Ne very strong, the lateral ones semicircular llel. Flowers without smell, many in the iascicle, Spreading in every direction. Peduncle from one side of the | e ’ quite round, sm actes soon withering. Pedicels yellow green, small, not uch angulated as might be expected from their number. Pericarpium a t only the size of a pea, nearly globular: after- wards more or less swelled according to the number of seeds. Corolla 3 inches long or more: Tube very pale yellowish green becoming quite white towards the ower at the | than near the bottom, from thence concave, striated, the 3 interior ones Ta’ er broader : Crown white with a yellowish bottom, 3 times shorter than the limb, funnel-shaped, scarcely narrower at its base falcated towards the filament, of a thicker substance than in several species. Filaments white, ra- ther shorter than the limb, incurved-spreading, tubulate, smooth, Anthers after the pollen is dis- charged incumbent and curved. Pollen orange coloured, Style white, below the tube thicker than. the crown; but I think this species shews that the teeth must be lateral in all, and that the mem- brane which runs up the sides of the filament is rather the real top or apex : a parallel instance oc- curs in Convolvulus, in some species of which the top ofeach segment, there indubitably ascertained by the wedge and point, is the least prominent part of the limb. The drawing of this rare plant was made at E. J, A. Wooprorv’s, Esq. and I believe it is in no other collection except Kew. ME 5 - . CHT AGLI SLO?

Floret initio Junii, The first account I find, of this rare species, is in the Appendix to Jussteu’s Genera P. lantarum, published in 1789, four years after it had been discovered by Micnaux. From seeds sent by him when he returned to the Right Hon. Sir Joseru Banks, several plants were raised at Kew and Chapel-Allerton, but they all diedin two years, no doubt for want of a proper soil. Afterwards in 1793, it was found by Srevers stil] farther eastward, on the south of the Tarbagatai chain of enceseeetegd near the river Uldshar ; and his description with a figure in fruit has been printed by Panras in the 10th volume of the Petersburgh Transactions. Still more lately, OLIVIER in his journey through Persia collected seeds of it, which have succeeded very well at Paris, ‘and from one of his plants brought from thence by a friend of Cuartes WaLsHAm’s, Esq. which flowered at Whetstone, the annexed drawing was made. eee i I believe that this Rose would thrive better with us in the open air, if planted in a veapsbeg brackish earth, than by any other mode of cultivation; for, the root extends to a great i , ae . mg Up suckers as it runs along; and the tops of the Elvind mountains, in the valley : ow whic Otivrer first met with it, were on the 9th of June still covered with a little snow, so that it Is pro- bably exposed to many acold blast therein the winter, nee f Stem of wild plants seldom exceeding 18 or 20 inches in height, the leap, beat ‘ : : S- each leaf: these pairs of prickles however are not analogous to the stipules of other species, as Ju : i inating in rat : : s of the serratures sometimes terminati her than obversely wedge-shaped, serrated, the points visible, Flowets exceedingly pendage, lance-wedge-shaped, finely downy and prickly on their outer surface.

Cuaries GREVILLE, who received it from Labrador : in that dreary country, as well as others near the aretic circle, it grows plentifully upon the most barren maritime rocks, insinuating its slender roots into the crevices, where there is a little soil. ° , Linwe first discovered it, and established the genus in Flora Lapponica, where after confounding it with two synonyms of Androsace Lactea, he accuses TouRNEFORT of referring his Lapland plant, which that great botanist never saw, to a wrong genus. In the first edition of Flora Suecica, this error is corrected ; but the false impression he had received of its affinity continued so strong, that in Species Plantarum he joined another plant of the same Natural Order, Aretia Helvetica, to this enus. Jussieu places Diapensia at the end of his Convoleuli ; in a separate section however, a not without a query, if it really belongs to them. af a From specimens in fruit liberally communicated by Professor Peck, the first saat 0 soe m4 my mind that it belonged to Erice, which is now confirmed by examining the living p sl 7 os doubts, if any could remain, are taken away, by another species from the mountains behind Vort Carolina, which turns out to be the Pyxidanthera of M1cuavux. Probably, its immediate sp in. a natural series, will be next to 4zalea Procumbens : that plant constitutes a very distinct genus from the rest, and according to Jussi£w’s present definition of Rhododendra, would not “i remain os the Order; but I have already hinted under Phyllodoce Taxifolia, my opinion that the Bicornes o Lin we cannot be separated. : 5 Stems several, frondose, branching gts Agctee a rms me often become large and firm enough in the #7 i : Weight of a man standing oa them, very slender but woody and covered with the dec for years, Leaves dark green and more or less tinged with brown on th green on their under surface, from 4 to 7 lines long, very closely imbri erect, dilated into a thin membranaceous margin and hollow ; from thence recu pt obtuse, quite smooth, slightly seoeresuag IT pip ene rai owers solitary, without smell in my specimen.

It is easily distinguished from all which I have seen, by the shape of the leaves, and total absence of pubescence on their upper surface even when very young f : Stem brown, erect: Braiiches alternate, frondose or somewhat clustered : upper part silky with pubescence which while young is of a silvery hue, but soon changes to brown. Leaves alternate, pretty close to cach other: Petiole 2 of a line long, spreading, cylindrical : Lamina from an inch to an inch and a half in length, spreading, elliptic-wedge-shaped, very entire, sharply mucronulated the poiht itself often so much bent down that the top of the Lamina appears emarginated, green an quite smooth on the upper surface, silky underneath as well as at the margin: middle Nerve thick and very evident, lateral ones scarcely to be distinguished : exceedingly coriaceous, Stipules 2, in- serted on the prominent rib of the stem, about 2 lines long, distinct from the petiole, prest to the stem, silky and soon- changing toa brown tint. Flowers without smell. Spike generally of a single flower, sometimes however of two or three. Peduncle shorter than the leaves, solitary in the axils of two or three of the lowest leaves of the young branches, Bracte fallen off in all the specimens I saw. deeper shade surrounding a white horse-shoe-shaped spot at the bottom: Wings pag ser his folded together.

HOOKERA PULCHELLA. : Neat Hookera. Ordinem Naturalem, Characterem Generis necnon Speciei videsub No. 98. Sponte nascentem in California, legit A. Menzizs. Floret apud nos Maio. This plant is the second of those two reported by Dr. J. E. Smrru in his Introduction to Botany to have “ beautiful liliaceous flowers like an Agapanthus with 6 internal petals besides.” So strange an anomaly in a monocotyledonous genus immediately led me to doubt that lecturer’s ac ‘y, and upon carefully examining the specimens in Str JosepH Banxs’s Herbarium, I found this doubt not only confirmed, but that one of them had actually flowered at Mill Hill the preceding June, when I described and named it Hookera, after the botanic painter of this work. Accordingly in March last, a figure of that species was published. When Dr. J. E, Smrri came to London in May following, at a meeting of the Linnean Society, e Mr. , . Drvyawper, and Mr. ROWN, the flowers are 6-androus; but as the alternate filaments in this ithogalum. I believe it will be met with also in LL’s Onion, and figured in the 1037th plate of the Botanical Magazine, but there erroneously referred by Mr. Ker (late GAWLER) to Allium Striatum. Root pale brown, like that of Narcissus Triandrus. Leaves similar to those of Hookera Coronaria, except that they are longer and rather broader. Flowers from 6 to 11 in a fasciculus, succeedi each other slowly, so that the first blown flower was in fruit before the last opened, nearly without smell, Peduncle longer than the leaves, erect, round, smooth, very finely striated. Outer broad, withering soon: inner Bractes whitish, very narrow and gradually shorter. Pedicels green, very short, round, smooth, Corolla blue like our Harebells, from 8 to 6 lines in length : Tube some- what pitcher-shaped, marked with 6 deeper lines: Limb shorter than the tube, divided to the base : divisions recurved, semi-lanceolate, very entire, the claw at the top of the 3 outer ones not so con- spicuous as in the other species. Filaments white ; those 3 which are opposite to the outer divisions of the limb, considerably longer and deeply emarginated. Anthers long and narrow. Torus abun- _dantly melliterous so that the tube is halt full of honey. Style reaching to the middle of the higher curved, anthers. Stigma 3-lobed, but its lobes scarcely recury REFERENCES TO THE PLATE. 1. A Corolla spread open. 2. Pistillum. 3, Transverse section of the young Fruit magnified, + THE RO VAT S93 eo: 1831—2.
