Flowers fweet-fcented. a Dr. Smits appears to have had a fpecimen of this plant — before him when he framed his fpecific chara&ter of what hea fuppoled to be the radiata of Water. Butthe HypRancea radiata of Micnaux, probably the fame as that of Watrer, has entire, not lobed leaves, and flowers growing in a cyme, the fterile ones in the circumference, and by cultivation, ac- cording to Micuaux, fometimes lofes its white woollinefs on the under fide and ceafes to produce fterile flowers, when it can hardly be diftinguifhed from Hyprancea arbore/cens, with which this fpecies can never be confounded. The propriety of Dr, Smirn’s reference of the HorTENSIA of Jussieu to this genus is certainly ftrengthened by the con- fideration of this fpecies, in which three ftigmas fometimes — occur and the change in the fterile flowers exaétly correfpondss. _ the expanded calyx in both being more ufually divided into four petal-like, flat fegments, containing an imperfe&, globular corolla in the centre. The number ten appears to us the moft natural in the ftamens of - both, though Dr. Rota always obferved eleven in Hortenfia. See his obfervations on this ; fubje& in Aunals of Botany, vol.ii. p.g1. : Our drawing was made from a fine plant, fent us in flower, — by Mr. Loppices, in June laft. As many living fpecimens were brought from America laft year, by Mr. Lyons, and have been difperfed by his fale, this Hydrangea will foon — become common, fhould it fortunately be found to refit the cold of our winters; but being a native of Florida, where it was firft difcovered by Mr. Witttam Bartram, it may pro-. bably require the protetion of a greenhoufe. In its native foil it is found growing in clumps, on the banks of rivers; putting out many ftems from the fame root, five or fix feet high, and fpreading irfelf greatly on all fides, — by offsets. Mr. Bartram defcribes the flowers as being at firft of a crimfon colour, changing more purple with age, and finally turning brown, but not falling off. In our plant and in another we faw at Mr. Hissert’s, the flowers were white with a greenifh tinge when young, nye wndp. - Crefvent- Doc. 11800 F Sanfem » 2 Bag ¢ wre A ad Pye i A ‘ $ j é rc 74 : : Aol A, ie ( \ fi: AG ( : Mae: Cee bogs 2 STACHYTARPHETA Mutasiuis, CHANGEABLE STARPHETA.

At prefent rather a fcarce plant; hardy; will grow in any moift border of light mould; feldom feeds, and is not eafily multiplied by parting the roots. Generally kept in a pot with Alpine plants. The drawing was made at Mr. Loppicss’s. Bartram (according to a note on his fpecimen in the Bankfian Herbarium) fays it grows in America to the height of five feet, and obferves, that the flowers which are at firft cream-coloured become red as they decay; Mr. Loppicss _ has remarked the fame. Mtcuaux mentions it as attaining _ the length of only two or three feet; why he thinks the above fynonym from Piuxnert’s work does not agree, we cannot conceive, unlefs he has fome other plant in view.

Although long fince widely diffufed through the Weft-India ifles, and frequently found of fpontaneous growth, it is doubtful whether it originally indigenous there. Licon fays exprefsly that it was” imported into Barbadoes from the Cape de Verd Iflands. It is cultivated through all the tropical countries of the Eaft, efpecially wherever any Chinefe are fettled, by whom it is called the Peacock’s Creft. Was introduced into Holland from Amboyna about the year 1670, and cultivated in Chelfea_ Garden, by Sir Hans Stoang, in 1691; but as it cannot be preferved out of the ftove, nor propagated except by feeds, it muft ever remain a rarity in our northern climes... The flowers are faid. to be fweet-fcented; but the whole plant, when bruifed, diffufes a difagreeable fmell, very like that of Savin, which it appears to refemble in virtue, being — confidered, in the Weft-Indies, as a powerful emmenagogue.

Indeed it is now nearly afcertained, that all the dif. ferent forts of tea, prepared in China, are the produce of the fame fpecies ; and that the colour, form, and qualities, depend: chiefly upon the climate, foil, age, modes of preparation, and various manipulations that the leaves are fubje&ted to. What is known refpeéting thefe has been fo frequently repeated, that we fhall only refer our readers to Prof. Marryn’s edition of Mixivrer’s Dittionary. The Sobea variety appears, however, to be more tender than the Green, and will not endure the feverity of our winters, which the latter bears with impunity. According to our friend and. coadjutor Mr. Ker (late Gawter) TuHea and Came uia cannot be kept apart, but mufi be united into one genus ; and our own obfervations go to confirm this idea, but we are unwilling to change the generic name until all the allied plants fhall have been more accurately examined. The imbricated calyx of the latter may be thought — to keep them diftin&, though the former has likewife a few {cales at the bafe, which foon fall off.

Perhaps it was this circumftance that mifled Lin- naus when he defcribes the corolla “ as fcarcely larger than the calyx.” A native of the Southern parts of France, Spain, and Portugal ; growing chiefly on dry gravelly hills; is faid to be particularly abundant about Montpelier, and in fimilar foils in other parts of Languedoc. It owes its fpecific title of Lychnitis, as well as its Spanifh name Candelera, to the ufe to which the long flender radical leaves are applied, as wicks for lamps, which purpofe they are faid to anfwer very well, even in their recent ftate. Cultivated by Mixver in the Phyfic-Garden at Chelfea, in 1731, but may be confidered with us as a very rare plant.

We have therefore retained the appellation given to this fhrub in the Hortus Kewenfis, though it is at prefent better known in our nurferies by that of Domsrya, a name applied by Lamarck to the Norfolk-Ifland Pine, in which he has been followed by Profeffors Scureser and Martyn, as alfo by Mr. LamBert, who has _ lately added figures of that beautiful tree to his {plendid Mono- graph on Pines. If this plant be feparated from Penrareres, and really elong to Domazyva of Cavanittes, it fhould be called | Assonia. Assonia Eryibroxylon (Vide Gen. Plant. ed. Schreb.). But — having our doubts whether it ought to be joined with that enus, we rather reftore the original name given to it in the Forts Kewenfis. eR It has only five fertile ftamens, alternating with thefe are five tongue-fhaped bodies, of a black purple colour, more ere&, and twice the length of the flamens, perhaps more pro- — perly called neélaries, than barren filaments. The external calyx confifts ef three {mall braftes, which fall off as foon as the flower opens. ; Native of St. Helena, where there occurs another fpecies with leaves quite entire at the margin, called Bracx-Woop or Esony (Pentaretes Melanoxylon, Soland.

Thus we have difcovered our _ Mmiflake; and affured ourfelves that the plant is a legitimate _ Yarlety of orientalis (fee N° 940, 946, and 948).

Introduced before 1733, by Dr. Wm. Houston, a8 appears by Mrxxezr’s fpecimen preferved in the Bankfian terbarium. Being an annual and not very readily producing "pe feeds in this country, it was probably of fhort duration ; and we find no further trace of it, till feeds were brought from pain, with many other curious plants, by Lord Hotzanp, Tom whofe colleGion at Holland-Houfe our drawing was taken in Auguft laft.

SaaReeEane _ Thename of Gesnerta was given to this genus by Prumrer, In honour of Conrapve Gesner, the celebrated Swifs Na- turalift, who died of the plague in the forty ninth year of his age, in his mufeum, whither he direéted himfelf to be removed a little before he expired. _The affigning its natural order appears to have been attended With particular difficulty. Linnaus, in his Fragmenta, had — arranged arranged it with the Per/fonate; but Jussreu, in his Genera Plantarum, removed it far from hence, and placed it with his — Campanulacee. 3 Though. it differs more efpecially by its fuperior calyx, it approaches, neverthelefs, both in external appearance and fenfible qualities to Dic1tatis. We have fometimes obferved rudiments of a fifth ftamen, which feems to ftrengthen its af- finity with Cuexons and other Bignonie ; and the hairy bafe to the filaments and peculiar form of the anthers fhow a rela- tionfhip with Vexspascum and Cexsra. It has been un- doubtedly mifplaced by Jussieu, of which he is now fenfible; and, in a later publication, has dire€ted it to be removed from his Campanulacee, and inclines, with M. Ricuarp, to unite it with a few other genera into a new natural order*. The {pecies here figured grows with an upright ftem, three or four feet high, bearing its leaves crowded together, towards the top only; the lower part being naked, but woolly, and marked with the veftiges of the former foliage. The flowers grow in corymbs on long footftalks, which iffue from the axils _ of the leaves. Native of the Weft-India iflands and the continent of South-America; obferved by Swartz to grow in fteep de- clivities on the banks of torrents and rivulets in Jamaica, and by Jacgurn on the rocks by the fea-fhore in Cuba. With us it muft be preferved in the bark ftove. Propa- gated by feeds only. Flowers in moft parts of the year. Cultivated in the Apothecaries Garden at Chelfea, in the year 1759.

WuitLey and Brame, Old-Brompton. It is an aquatic, and thrives ex- tremely in the ciftern, near the glafs, in the bark ftove ; but a greenhoufe would probably be as well fuited to it. Monf, Venrenat, following the hint given by Gartner, has feparated Tournerort’s Nymphoides from Menyanthes, under the name of Vittarsia 3 comprehending in it ia known fpecies except our Englifh Buckbean or Marth Trefoil; but as there is no other generic difference, than that the feeds in the latter are attached to the centre of the valve, and in the former to its margins, we have not thought it ne- ceffary to diftinguifh them. With refpe& to the natural order, VENTENAT appears to us to have done very properly in Temoving this genus from Jussizu’s Lyjfimachie to his Gentiane, with which (efpecially with Swertt A) it appears in in the organization of the feed-veffel, at leaft, to have a near affinity ;. befides that it approaches the plants of this order. in its fenfible qualities and medical effeéts, : : In fyftematic arrangement, Menyantues exaltata fhould immediately precede Menyantues ovata, to which it is very nearly allied. 3 Flowers in May and June; is propagated by feeds, or parting its roots. 1030 bday = v) wort: Del.

To the {pecies, which he found on the fouth-welt coaft of New- olland, he gave the appellation of Cuorizema ilicifolium, criving its fpecific name from the refemblance of its eer : : * thoie thofe of Holly, and that of the genus, as we fuppofe, from the inconvenience its {pinous leaves muft occafion to the naked- footed dancers of that country*. _— Our plant is evidently not the fame fpecies as the one that. is there defcribed and figured, which is larger and has narrower and more pointed leaves, but lefs like thofe of Holly. Speci- mens of both are preferved in the Bank fian Herbarium ; that of ilicifolium colleéted on the fouth-weft coaft of New-Holland by Mr. ArcuiBaLp Menzies, and that of zanum raifed in the Kew Garden (where it flowered in 1804) from feeds fent from the fame country by the late Mr. Peter Goon. The Cuorizema ¢rilobum of Smitu (Putrenaa ilicifolia of Botanift’s Repofitory, ¢. 320) a plant with appofite leaves and having, according to the figure, the keel rather longer than the wings, we fufpeét does not belong to this genus. Our drawing was taken at Mr. Hissert’s, Clapham- Common, in July 1806; but the defcription was made from a plant communicated by Mr. Bucuanan, Nurferyman, at Camberwell, Propagated by feeds, which it produces with us.

The Herbarium of this gentleman contains four other fpecies col- le&ed by him, while accompanying Captain Fiinpers in his voyage of difcovery. He has not confidered any of them as ne- ceffarily congeners of LasiLLarprere’s Genosiris fragilis ; but has united them in a feparate divifion, under an appellation — by which he commemorates his friend, Colonel Paterson, the lieutenant-governor of New South-Wales, a gentleman whole name has been long familiar to the naturalift.

But being very un-— common both in the Eaft and Weft-Indies, the fingularity of the feeds, which are perfe@lly-round, of a deep black colour, with a large heart-fhaped white fpot, muft have occafioned their being brought over, as curiofities, and their vegetating _power being more lafting than in many, the propagation of *thefe plants was the more eafy, efpecially in the fouthern “parts of Europe, where ripe fruit would be readily pro- duced. Our Parkinson, who received the feeds ‘from Italy, but fufpe&ted’they were not originally of European growth, fays, “ I did never fee it beare ripe fruite with us, “no not: tn the hotteft' yeare that I have fowne it.” ats This plant has been feveral times figured by the older Botanifts. The original figures are thofe of Tracus, Fucu-_ sius, Matruiotus, and Gesner in Camerarnius; of thele ‘the wooden cut in the folio edition of Fucusius is the beft -reprefentation of the habit of the plant, that we have feen, and far more correét than the engravings on copper in Morison, *Rivertrus, and Rumenius. When the do€trine of figns was “in vogue, ‘the heart, fo beautifully depiéted on this feed, could not fail to ftamp it with the credit of curing all affe€tions of this “organ ; but unfortunately experience very rarely verifies fuch _ foolifh conceits. ~ “Though an annual-of very flender growth, we are told- by Dr. Parricx Browne, ‘that it climbs to the tops of the talleft ‘trees in the forefts of Jamaica.

The bright crimfon colour of the flowers, not at all inclined to purple, was noticed by the older Botanifts. This is often taken for Pzonta humilis, but does not at all agree with Rerzius’s defcription of that fpecies, which has narrower and more divided leaves, and nearly naked germens and capfules; not at all tomentofe. The fynonyms quoted by Miter appear to us to be cor- re&; but we place more confidence in the defcriptions than in in the figures; the accuracy of that of Bester, however, Jeaves no doubt of the propriety of the fynonym we have added from his magnificent work.

He afterwards, from fome analogy in e fymptoms, tried it in pleurify, with very great fuccefs ; and it became a remedy in confiderable vogue in Europe as Well as in America. Dr. TENNENT received a reward from. the houfe of reprefentatives of Pennfylvania for the difcovery ; — neverthelefs neverthelefs it has fallen into difufe, a fate that has generally attended medicines, which are at firft too highly extolled.

We believe that the country owes the introduétion of this Rofe from China to Mr. Evans, of the Eaft-India Houfe, by whom it has been liberally diftributed ; and its flowering has been expefted with fome degree of in- tereft, as its bloffoms were fuppofed to have been yellow ; whence whence the name of Rosa flava in Donn’s Catalogue, if we do not miftake. There can be no doubt of its being a double coloured variety of the Rosa mu/tiflora of Japan; with Taun- BERG'S defcription of which, in his Flora Japonica, it corre- {ponds in every refpeét, except that he fays the flowers are white. Had it been an undefcribed fpecies, we fhould have called it Rosa rudbiflora, as the flowers refemble thofe of the bramble, not only in external appearance, but in the length of the ftyles: we have therefore adopted this in our Englith name. Indeed, without feeing the fruit, it is not poffible to decide abfolutely whether it belong to the genus Rosa or Rubus; but on the prefumption that our plant is the fame as that defcribed by Tuunserc, combined with the general habit, we refer it to the former genus.
