Will thrive without care in almoft any foil or fituation. We do not know that any figure has ever been publifhed of this fpecies, there is indeed _ 2 good engraving of it in the large colleftion known by the . title ~ title of Rospert’s Icones; but this work has never been made public, only a few copies having been occafionally diftribyted | in prefents by the F rench government. | To the older Botanifts ’ it appears to have been but very little known, from the time of Tournerort, who firft mentions it. Ray appears to have had only a {mall fpecimen from Dr. Cuarves Preston, and even Hatter had never feen it, in a living ftate, when he wrote his Hiforia Stirpium Helvetia. Befides the length of the fpur, which equals the petals, there is another charaéter that might have given rife to the name of _cornuta, or horned, but as it does not appear to have been noticed, it is moft probable that this name was applied on ac- count of the length of the fpur or ne@larium only. We allude to the remarkable length of the fegments of the calyx which appear between the petals fomewhat like a pair of cow’s horns, _ particularly the two lowermoft fegments, which are bent a little upwards, that is with refpeé to:the obferver, for with — refpe&t to the flower they point downwards, this being refupinate— or inverted; a citcumftance very necefflary to be attended to in reading the defcriptions of moft of the violets, otherwife the young Botanift is apt to be puzzled by finding what is défcribed as the uppermoft petal to appear'to him to be the’ lowermoft, Pee Our drawing was taken at the Botanic Garden, Brompton, of which this plant has long been an inhabitant. . * i 8 tales cht oe © jd Z dwardr ded Bg “a by Lit LP tte 2 A A te * EAT 2 6 mn sciilp ‘Gee: Crefeent Nov 1 L504.

It is not improbable but that more than one fpecies have — been included in the above fynonyms, but we have not been — able to diftinguifh them, The oriental plant, which is like- wife an inhabitant of the South-Sea Iflands, is every where defcribed as having yellow flowers and {moother leaves, while © that of the Welt-Indies, like ours, is always {poken of as having fcarlet flowers. The leaves vary ig being more or lefs ; ene : qepand, 3 repand, ferrated, or quite entire. An examination of feveral fpecimens from different countries, has not enabled us to find chara€ters fufficiently permanent to diftinguifh them. The Weft-Indian variety, which ours is, is generally defcribed as a fhrub of feven or ten feet in height, producing great quantities — of fine fcarlet flowers, which, according to Brown, feldom — bear perfeét fruit in Jamaica; but at Carthagena, Jacquin tells us, almoft every flower is fucceeded by fruit, which, — if deprived of its pulp and dried in the fhade, may be . tranfported in a vegetating flate to any part of the world. Thefe feeds, according to his obfervations, grow very readily, © and at Vienna the young plants raifed from them frequently bear flowers the firft year. This being the cafe, it is furprifing that fo beautiful a fhrub fhould be fo feldom feen to ornamen our ftoves. The Sebeftenes of the fhops, long fince negle@ted in this country, though referred by Linn us to this plant, were more probably the produ of Corpia Myxa. ne) _ The Wanzey of Bruce, a native of Abyflinia, or at leaf _« generally cultivated there, though given as a fynonym to this plant by WitrpeNnow, can hardly belong to it. It is a much oftier tree, bearing fnow-white flowers, and in other refpefls — differs fo materially that we conclude it muft be a diftin& Seg _.

In Hungary the roots, though not ap-— plied to the nourifhment of man, are greedily devoured by | ‘the fwine. Perhaps the feeds and roots of our own white water Lily are little if at all inferior, The account recorded . by Pirny of the‘ flowers retiring under the water during the night, fo far as to be out of reach of the hand, we conclude to be one of the idle ftories with which travellers are pleafed to amufe the credulous. Our plant is doubtlefs of the fame fpecies as the one which flowered at the Marquis of Branproro’s laft fummer, which gave occafion to a learned difcuffion on the fubjeé from the pen of that nobleman, whofe ardour in botanical purfuits gives him a -juft. claim to have a genus named after him; and it is with pleafure we hear that this honour has been conferred by the Prefident of the Linnean Society. We fuppofe, but— this is not mentioned in his account, that the Marquis’s plant was produced from A°gyptian feeds; ours we received from that venerable:and indefatigable cultivator Mr, Lopnices, of Hackney, who raifed it from feeds he procured from the hot fprings in Hungary, where this Nymphza flourifhes in a heat equal to 95° of Fanenueir. It was fown laft {pring in a pan of water plunged into a tan pit under a melon frame, and our drawing was taken in September. The firft leaves are arrow-fhaped, entire at the edges, and totally different from thofe which accompany the flowering plant. The flowers were fomewhat {weet-fcented, but neither fo ftrong: nor fo agreeable. as thofe of Nymen#a caerulea. The _ Marquis remarks that they open in the evening and clofe about ten in the morning, and the like was obferved at Kew in apparently the fame {pecies, which bloffomed there laft fummer and was raifed from Eaft-Indian feeds fent by Dr. Roxsurcu, but this circumflance certainly did not take place _ in the one we had, whilft it was in our poffeflion, and expofed _ ‘to the temperature of the atmofphere. “Wa _ The form of the ftigma, fo variable in this genus, perhaps” affords the beft charaéters to diftinguith the fpecies; in ours this is a large. cup-like depreffion in the crown of the germen, in the centre of the cup is a round button from which di- verge about twenty rays, correfponding to the number of cells within, thefe rays are not very vifible till they approach the paren of the cup where they are elevated, and have incurvec Ps. : 7 | ee ae “eae Xe Oe 7 ya aware da Uy A Ag S¢ Geo. ¢ relcenk Decl1804 7% f F.

It appears by the figure in the Hortus Berolinenjis, that ILLDENOw’s plant was very weakly, which has probably been the caufe of the above differences ; ours in every re{peét correfponds with that of Cavanities, from whom we learn that it is a native of Mexico. It ‘tis an elegant little fhrub, producing for a long time in ficcollion its large flowers of the livelieft blue colour. The ftem is weak and requires f{upport. The whole plant has a powerful and not difagreeable fmell. Requires the fhelter of a greenhoufe, but fhould have plenty of air. Propagated by Cuttings. Our drawing was made at the colleétion of E. J.

Perhaps’ __ this may be owing in part to our keeping them too warm, To , Judge of the temperature moft fuitable to any plant, the lati- _ tude of its native country is not more neceffary to be known, - than the elevation above the fea: ata certain height, even under _ the equator, regions of perpetual fnow occur, and the nearer ee ai the the natural fituation of any plant approaches to thefe the more _ impatient of heat and clofe air it will be found to be: thofe - therefore who wifh to cultivate the produéts of the tropical / countries with fuccefs, fhould endeavour to learn from their. colleétors and correfpondents, the elevation at which each in- dividual is found to thrive moft. Dr. AnpERson, who has the management of the King’s Bo- tanical Garden at St. Vincent’s, in a letter to E. Wooprorp, _ Efq. Vauxhall, makes the following query : “ Do you not deftroy _ many tropical plants in your hot-houfes, by giving them a degree ~ of heat, for which you cannot admit an adequate proportion of air? Many of the moft rare and beautiful produéts of thefe— iflands naturally thrive where the heat never exceeds 70° many at.64° of Farenueit. At the garden not three-quarters — of a mile from the fea, it is efteemed very hot if the thermo- meter exceed 84°, yet here I find our alpine plants are the © moft difficult of all others to preferve, merely from the in-_ creafed temperature of the atmofphere.” ; ‘This plant is eafily raifed from feeds, which muft be pro- cured from abroad, as it never, we believe, ripens any in this country. “We remember to have feen it in great perfeétion © at the late Dr. Pitcargn’s at Iflington. are) Introduced by Mr. Gorpon of Mile-Endin 1766, Flowers moft part of the winter, af : [ su J CAMPANULA CAPITATA- CLUSTERED BrLL-FLOWER. delieeledeeiehviee Clafs and Order.

If it is Micuavux’s plant, of which we have fcarcely a doubt, he tells us that it grows there in fuch fpots as are ufually at one time or other of the year under water, and that in a wild ftate it is conftantly two-flowered, but when cultivated from two to five-flowered. Our drawing was taken at Mr. Wooprorp’s; requires a ftrong heat to make it thrive, and rich mould; produces abundance of offsets; the nether bulb itfelf often perifhing after producing the bloom. Se : The The leaves grow diftichwife, are little more than an inch broad, about two feet in length; the upper part of lamina ftriated ; the {cape iffues from the middle of thefe. The bloom was gone off before I could procure it for examination, but in the drawing the fegments of the corolla feem fomething fhorter than the tube, and the crown about a third fhorter than the fegments. : It is certainly neither the mexicanum nor carolinianum of — Linnzus, if any reliance can be placed on the fynonyms he ~ has cited, and which are moft probably alfo his authorities for the fpecies. The web that conneéts the ftamens both in fize and form affords a very ftrong diftinétion from all the fpecies _ yet known to us; but it certainly in habit comes neareft to — the mexicanum of any we have read of, Mr. Sauissury tells us that the variety of PANcRATIUM liitorale, publifhed in our laft number, is likewife a native of Carolina.

Repo/. 380. oe lap Si This pretty fhrub was brought from Paris in the year 1802, y Mr. Wooprorp, under the name of Gompurena frutico/a, and it is not without regret that we follow Jacquin in con- fidering it rather as a fpecies of Achyranthes than Gomphrena, to which laft it appears fo much more nearly allied in habit,. but not fo in the parts of fruétification. It is not however im- Probable but that future obfervers will find that fome other — {pecies of the latter genus may be united with this into one — diftin& from either. Zr ge . - : aie The flowers are colle€ted into a compaét oval capitulum, — _ Have three unequal hairy fcales or braétes at the bafe of each, the calyx (the fame part however in Gomphrena is called by LINNAUS i Linnzus corolla) confifts of five lanceolate, keeled, fharp. pointed leaflets; within thefe are five {mall fcales: or petals — fimbriated at the tips, of the fame bright crimfon colour as the calyx, but three times {maller; thefe appear to be united to- gether with the filaments into a tube at the bafe, but their — union if real is flight; this part correfponds with what Liv. | nzus calls the neétarium in Gomphrena, alternating with thefe, and of the fame length, are five filaments with fmall round anthers; thefe either fall off very early or there are as — in Amaranthus many female flowers without ftamens. The — ovary is fuperior, free, globofe, terminated with a ftraight ftyle and round villous ftigma. a Has been hitherto treated as a hardy ftove plant, in which — fituation it continues in flower, though not expanded, through the whole of the winter, and feems peculiarly fuited to enliven” the bouquets at this feafon when, of the few flowers that occur, there are hardly any to be met with which poffefs fuch a brilliant colour, It has the further advantage of preferving its form and colour when dried as well as the Globe-Amaranthus.

Moft of the known fpecies of Anagallis fo nearly refemble each other, that it is not eafy to find botanical chara&ers that will with fufficient accuracy diftinguifh them, and this has led fome Botanifts to believe that moft of the fuppofed f{pecies are mere varieties, deriving their origin from climate, foil, and — cultivation. Some have carried this opinion fo far as to fup- pofe that this fplendid plant is the offspring of ANAGALLIs arvenfis, improved by art, a notion however which appears to us fufficiently improbable. If there are no very prominent marks of diftin&ion except that of the fhrubby perennial ftalk, a change which fome other annuals have been known to undergo from climate and other circumftances, yet there are feveral differences, more minute indeed than might be wifhed, but which, when united, may be — fufficient to diftinguifh them. Thus in ANAca tis arvenjis the leaves and flower-ftalks are ufually oppofite, or if more than two, are generally by fours, rarely if ever three, which - the the more natural number in our plant, though in this they fometimes grow by pairs and now and then by fours. The Jeaves are alfo more lance-fhaped and lefs oval than in arvenjis, the anthers too are pointed and incurved at the upper ex- tremity. In the economy of the two plants there is a remark- able difference, for while the flowers of the common pimpernel are never open except in fair weather, and have, from their fenfibility to the prefence or, abfence of the fun, been called “‘ the poor man’s weather-glafs,” the flowers of our plant pay fo little regard to the changes of the atmofphere, that when once fully expanded, they remain open night and day. It is readily propagated by cuttings, and will, if planted in the open ground, produce feeds; but to preferve it through the winter, muft be entirely prote&ed from froft. Is of late introduétion among us from Paris. Ventenar fays, it is a native of Africa, near Mogadore. hd Edwards del Pub by Curtis S¢ Creo. Crefcent Apr 11805.

In 1790, when our figure of Anemone horten/is was publifhed, that plant was confidered as a rarity, but it has fince been much cultivated, and is now become very commpn. The fame rage for novelty, which had nearly banifhed all the va- rieties of that {pecies, has had confiderable influence in dis minifhing the culture of the Poppy Anemone, although there is fearcely any plant that is capable of rendering the flower. rden fo gay in the fpring, efpecially if the feafon be favourable for its blowing, which unfortunately is not always the cafe. — se | , & native A native of the Levant, of which many varieties were culti- | vated by Gerarp in 1596. Propagates moft abundantly by the roots, but the ftrongeft flowering plants are produced from — feeds, which generally blow on the fecond year. The feed fhould be chofen from the fineft plants and fown about the © beginning of Auguft, either in the open border in large pans — or boxes, or fmall cucumber frames, the more curious prefer the laft. There is fome handinefs required in fowing this feed; _ for being furnifhed with a light downy fubftance*, they adhere. together and are with great difficulty feparated, fo as to fall fingly on the ground ; this is beft effefted by rubbing the feeds over the earth intended to receive them through a fine wire fieve ufed for fifting the mould; when fown it is to be covered about half an inch thick and kept carefully watered, and fhaded with mats in hot dry weather. The earth fhould be light and as much as poffible free from worms. Before the winter the plants willbe pretty ftrong, but fhould be carefully proteéed — from froft. All of them fhould be taken up the next fummer and planted again in the autumn at the diftance of five or fix inches apart. f The roots of Anemones fhould be taken up every year or at furtheft every fecond year, and this fhould be done as foon as the foliage turns brown, which is in about fix weeks from the time of their blowing, and they fhould not be planted in the fame {pot more than two years, frefh earth being effential to their vigorous blowing. Inftead of planting them in the autumn fome of the roots may be referved till February or. March, by which means all danger from fevere froft is avoided and a fucceffion of bloom procured. The kind of earth they are planted in is not very material, provided it be frefh, and light rather than fiff : but for the more curious double varieties, Florifts ufe a com- _ poft formed of two parts, of frefh hazel mould and one patt — of rotten cow-dung, kept together for a year and frequently turned, to incorporate them thoroughly. ta fey: When froft fets in fevere, the roots fhould be proteted — by covering the ground with ftraw or fern, or by fome other — method that may occafion lefs litter, The fituation chofen fhould be open yet warm, and as Parxtnson, who feems tO — have well underftood the culture of thefe flowers, obferves, : a annoyed with the fmoake of brewers, dyers, oF mault-_ a ee * ‘This down grows from the external coat of the feed, efpecially at its bale, but the feed is deftitute of the feathered arifta, which occurs in fome other fpeciess being merely terminated with the oblique perfiftent ftyle.

A {pecimen from the above colleétion is depofited in the Bankfian Herbarium. The affinity with * Litium bulbiferum is fo great that we can hardly bring our- felves to confider it as fpecifically diftin& ; the moft availing differences we have been able to feleé are the following: in our plant the ftem is generally one-flowered and ridged with only five decurfent fubulate angles, in du/biferum this is gene- rally many-flowered and clofely befet with numerous gee, : ike - ¥ rs like ridges ; in pen/ylvanitum the four or five upper leaves are whorled and nearly equal to the corolla in length, but not fo in dulbiferum ; all the leaves of the former are alfo far mote diftant, and the peduncle and outfide of the corolla more woolly; befides it is altogether a far f{maller, tenderer, and more lax plant with a corolla more turbinately narrowed. The bulb about twice as big as a filbert, and fends out nu- merous creeping fhoots, by which it propagates moft rapidly; a fingle root in three or four years in a light rich foil and warm fituation foon forms a very large tuft. Although we have feen above thirty otherwife fine fpecimens, we have never yet met with a growing one that had a piftil, which will ac- count for the abfence of that organ in our drawing; however that which flowered at Peckham was complete. Blooms in June, but not freely except in the foil and fituation above direéted. Our drawing was taken at the Nurfery of Meffrs. WuitLey and Brame, Old-Brompton, who imported the bulbs from America.

We confefs that we are unable at prefent to dete& any other diftin€&tions between this and Ir1s /puria ({upra 58) than that this is altogether a much larger plant and poffeffes con- fiderably more rigidity both in the leaves and ftem than that ; to which may be added a far greater elongation of the outer valve of the fpathe; yet there is a difference in their general appearance, though not eafily expreffed, that makes it difficult ; for us to confider them as mere varieties of each other ; be- | fides that their habitats are widely diftant, this being a native of the falt marfhy {pots of Siberia, the other of the moift meadows in Germany. : . Our fpecies is among the talleft of the genus, the ftem being three feet or more high and the leaves fometimes four ; thefe yield the fame offenfive fmell, when bruifed, as thofe of J/puria ; they are very fmooth, even, ftriated, and linear. None of its chatghters have as yet varied by culture, though introduced into our gardens as far back as 1780, by Dr. Perer Patras. Is not very common in our colleétions, though of as eafy culture and as hardy as any of the genus. Approaches veniricofa, but that is fharter with a leaflefs flem and a more inflated fpathe.

Being a native of South-Carolina, is generally confidered as a greenhoufe plant; but Mirxer has obferved that, unlefs nurfed in the ftove, it feldom flowers, yet in too much heat It is apt to fall a prey to infe€@ts and by the lofs of its foliage 1° — | be deprived of much of its beauty.

Ruib. n. 143, 144. is Our drawing, being taken from a fpecimen which grew in a pot, reprefents the plant of a much finaller fize than ufual s for when planted in the open ground it grows to the height of a foot and a half, and has larger leaves, is alfo branched and bears a number of heads of flowers on longer peduncles. The flowers growing from one fide of the flattened end of the peduncle give the head a criftated appearance, forming what Linn us Calls capitulum dimidiatum ; but in a more vigorous growth, the extremity of the peduncle turning further round, the head becomes globular, and the above appearance is con- fined to the more early ftate of the flowering, In habit this {fpecies approaches very near to the Trirotium rudens, the leaflets being very fimilar, except that they appear entirely feffile, from the membranous ftipule running the whole length of the peduncle and clofely embracing the ftem. It is a fingular de- viation from the reft of the genus that it bears for the moft part five, rarely fix or feven leaflets upon one footftalk, nor can the two lower ones, as fometimes happens in Lotus, be well confidered as enlarged ftipules. The feed-pods are repre- fented by Buxsaum as very long, but in our plant they are contained within the decayed remains of the flower, as deferi by Amman. Raifed from Siberian feeds by Mr. LoppIcEs of Hackney, but has feveral times been in our gardens before; is faid in the Hortus Kewenfis to have been firft introduced by Mr. James Gorvon in 1763, and we faw it in the late Dr- Pitcatrn’s colle€ion in 1789. It has a fufiform root and 1s but little difpofed to produce offsets; hence if care is not taken to preferve the feed, of which very little will ufually ripen with us, it muft be liable to be foon loft. Is perfeétly hardy. + Si Bdmards del. Pub. by T Curtas, StGeo:Crefcent Oct:11805. _ ESanfam seudp [ Bee. J Cornus CANADENSIS. CANADIAN CORNEL. BERTIE ETE ESE EEE EEE ae Clafs and Order.

The other diftiné&tion — which Wittpzenow obferves of the leaves in one being nervofa in the other venofa, remarked alfo by Mr, SavisBURY, in Smirtu’s Flora Britannica, though not unfounded, is hardly fufficiently pointed for ufe, as the nerves in /uecica fometimes take their origin from the midrib, and the veins in canaden/is are fo flrongly marked on the underfide and fo little divided, that moft defcribers would call them nerves. At No. 526.of this work we have given another fpecies of this genus, which grows into a large tree, affording a remark- able contraft with this very humble herbaceous plant.
