Requires to be kept in the ftove, where it blooms about July. Mr. Brown, in his very valuable Prodromus of the Flora of New-Holland, obferves that this {pecies differs from its congeners in having a germen with difpermous cells, as well as by a crown that is fix-parted to the bafe. In our plant this laft charatter was not prefent, the dilated bafes of the filaments cohering for nearly half the Jength of the crown they formed ; fuch feems alfo to have been the cafe in the fpecimen delineated, accompanied with a dif- feétion of the corolla, by Mr. Bauer, in the firft volume of his “ Sketches” in the Bankfian Colle&tion, We entirely agree with the author of the Paradifus Londinenfis, in the opinion, that this is the {pecies defcribed and figured by Rumputus, although there is no appearance of the {mall ftaminilegous crown in his engraving. Monf. L’Heritier exprelfsly notices the dilated bales of the filaments in his defcription of Catnum nervo/um, citing Rumpuius’s figure for a fynonym; and we fufpe& that he was induced to feparate his plant from the amboinen/e of Linnz£vs, merely on account of that author’s having added Trew's figure, as his variety @.; a figure which undoubtedly belongs to a very diftin& {pecies from his variety «; which is our prefent plant. The Bankfian Herbarium contains a very perfe&t fpecimen of our {pecies from the Ifland Amboyna, which had been received from Mr. CurisTopHER SMITH. Our drawing was made at Mr. Vere’s garden, Kenfington- Gore. The plant from which Commetin’s plate was taken was brought to the Amfterdam garden from Batavia. L’Heaitier gives the Philippine Iflands as the native place of his plant. G, > ey 7 LdwardrD ef, fied by Lo GerZun Walwordt, Mow LIE. i L Sertfom Se. j a a _ ert SPA go -J. AM cite PALLENS.

We omitted Brotero’s pallens, as he defcribes the fpathe but little*longer than the umbel ; alfo that of Repours, as being certainly diftin@& from our plant, and nearer to what we confider_as paniculatum, which will be publifhed in the fucceeding Fafciculus. We fhould have deemed the {pecies a mere variety of carinatum ; but find that it has been reckoned diftin@, not having bulbs intermixed with the umbels; a circumftance that we are perfuaded is very unftable, even in this genus. We have omitted the ufually recurring fynonym from Harxer, as belonging to flavum; and have fubflitated another to the ftanding one from Bavuin, which pointed to a plant “ flore odoro.” Native of the South of France, Piedmont, and the Coaft of Barbary.

The rudi- Jment of the fifth filament in the latter is fhort and fmooth, in | the the former hairy and fometimes longer than. the reft. In the prefent fpecies we have often found the fifth ftamen perfeét, in which cafe the pubefcens of the filament generally difappears: we have even feen fix perfe& ftamens in the fame flower; fo that a part fo liable to vary does not feem well fuited to eftablith a generic chara¢ter upon. For the moft part the rudiment in this fpecies is hairy from the top to below the middle; but fometimes the pubefcence barely extends fo far as to the middle. A more obvious diftin€@tion is afforded by the ‘panicle being intermixed with leaves, which in /evigata is nearly naked. Except the miferable reprefentation by Morison, we do not know that the broad-leaved variety PentsTEMON pu- befcens has ever been before figured ; there is a bad figure of the narrow-leaved fort in M1LLeR’s Icones, Native of the Alleghana mountains in North-America, — Flowers in June and July, and ripens its feeds in the autumn; at which feafon Miter direéts the feed to be fown.

Heads of flowers nearly globofe, on peduncles either terminal, or growing from the divifions of the branches. Involucre of fix rigid, fubulate, channelled leaflets, fomewhat unequal and terminated with a fpine. From the very centre of the head grows a rigid {word-fhaped leaflet twice the length of the head, like thofe of the involucre, but broader and rather longer. € are fometimes two (according to Delaroche feveral) fhorter leaflets inftead of the long one; and now and then, though : rarely, rarely, the heads are quite deftitute of this horn.

Our plant, which was fent us by Mr. Donn, curator of the Botanic Garden at Cambridge, having no radical leaves, we have trufted to Delaroche and Brotero for the defcription of them. The figure and excellent,account given by Delaroche leaves no room to doubt but that his plant is the fame with ours. And as this author probably had an opportunity of examining Tour- nefort’s fpecimen, we muft {uppofe that he could hardly be wrong in quoting that fynonym alfo. The fame obfervation will apply to Lamarck; otherwile his defcription would not readily lead us to conclude that his plant was the fame; for he makes no mention of the remarkable roftrum terminating the capitula, but attributes the name to the inequality of the involucre, two or three of the Jeaflets of which he deferibes as being fo much longer than the reft as to give the appearance of horns. The fynonym from Morison would feem ftill more dubious, as he defcribes the heads of flowers:to, be feffile; and that of Ray is only a copy of this laft. Detarocue has alfo quoted E. fuaveolens of Broul- fonet as a fynonym ; but we obferved no fragrance in the flowers, and the {mell of the bruifed plant was to us particularly ungrate- ful. Thefe feeming contradittions are however in great meafure reconciled by Brorero, who obferves that this plant. varies extremely according to the foil; that in very dry places the involucre becomes very fmall; the heads of flowers nearly or quite feffile, and lemon-fcented; the chaff fubtrifid and much longer than the calyxes, This author therefore concludes that E. corniculatum, - and odoraium of Lamaxcx are meré varieties of the fame plant. . _ This {pecies is not taken up in the new edition of Hortus Kewenfis, though introduced into the country according to Mr. Dow in 1803. | ‘Native of wet and marfhy places in Portugal.

We have purpofely omitted in the fynonymy moft of the more recent European Floras, from a fufpicion that the pani- culatum they have in view is o/eraceum occurring with a capflu- liferous umbel.. The fpecies cited from Hatuer’s treatifes was conftituted and delineated from a Siberian plant only ; although he fubfequently, but as we apprehend erroncoufly, adduced it for a fynonym to a fpecies he found in Switzerland, which he obferves is fometimes bulbiferous.

To moft of the Floras, we are perfuaded oleraceum and carinatum as they occurred with a capfuli- ferous or with a bulbiferous inflorefcence, have, when in the firft mentioned fate, furnifhed likewife paniculatum and pallens. We have already, in No. 1420, ftated the diftinétions between our prefent fpecies, pallens and flavum. From oleraceum it differs, by having the filaments fhortly connate at their bale among themfelves, and with the corolla. Jacguin’s {pecimen of paniculatum from Auftria, in the Bankfian Herbarium, has a bulbiferous umbel and is oleraceum. The bloom of the prefent plant had a flight degree of fragrance, was white with a flight fuffufion of purple or rofe-colour, and marked with green down the backs of the fegments. It is evidently the paniculatum of Bizserstein, according to his own fpecimens. Our drawing was made from a plant that flowered this fummer in Mr. Hawortn’s colle@ion, and had been received from the Cambridge Botanic Garden, where it was fuppofed to have come originally from Siberia. Native of the Crimea, and probably of various parts of the South of Europe. We believe it to be the pallens of Renoure; but are certain it is not his paniculatum, which we take to be a capfuliferous oleraceum. G- a | NOTE, No, 1143, pag. alt. Ariium caucafeum.

But if it can be pro- perly feparated from Corytepon, being undoubtedly a con- gener of Coryiepon /aciniata, of which Apanson, in his Familles des Plantes, long ago conftituted a genus, it muft take his name of Karancnéz. Decanpotte, a French botanift, and Persoon, have adopted this divifion; but M. Ventenat has followed Linnaus, who confidered his Cotyievon Jaciniata as belonging to the genus, though cur- tailed of one-fifth in the number of all the parts of fru€tification. a ee It is not improbable, however, that had he known there were half a dozen fpecies in the fame predicament, he would have himfelf made a feparation, fo congenial with his claffification. In the new edition of the Hortus Kewenfis, both this plant and Bryopuytium of Sarispury, No. 1409 of this work, are retained with Coryitepon ; Bryopuy.ttium is, however, in our opinion, very diftinét, not only in the number of the parts of fruétification, but likewife in the form of the corolla, the relative proportion of the calyx and it, and efpecially in having the ftamens arranged in one rank, The original imported plant bore leaves many times the fize of thofe in our figure, and more irregularly fcolloped, but fucceeding ones have not attained to the fame vigorous growth.

Weare indebted to Meffrs. Matcorm and Sweet, Nurfery- men, at Stockwell-Common, for the opportunity of giving a figure of this rare plant, which we have not feen in any other colleétion, | r The genus Srypueria having become very extenfive, Mr. Brown has divided it; but, in plants of this natural order, it is not eafy to find difcriminating chara€ters in the parts of fruétification ; accordingly, the only difference we remark in the chara@ter of this genus from that of StrypHELIa, in this author’s valuable work, exifts in a rather flight variation in the form of the corolla, and the more linear anthers, which are included within the tube of the corolla, not exferted as in StypHeria. Thefe diverfities, though not ftriking, are, however, important when combined with certain peculiarities of habit, which probably afforded the firft guide in making the feparation.

Leaves cordate, moftly quite entire, but, about the flowers more efpecially, irregularly angular, villous on both fides ; footftalks long. The calyx is long, fomewhat inflated, ut rounded and not angular ; at firft ufually two-lipped, but afterwards {pontaneoufly divides or is eafily feparable into five Jance-fhaped teeth. Corolla white, generally fingle, large, and fweet-tcented. After flowering, the peduncle, which was _ fore ere@, bends downwards, and the nodding, — violate # fetes fruit is covered with tubercles terminating in fhort foft fpines. The greater part of the calyx falls with the flower, but the bafe remains and grows with the capfule, forming a circular calyx irregularly fcolloped at the edge and refleéted. Our plant was faid to be raifed from feeds fent from Surinam, and we think it doubtful whether it be the fame {pecies as the Falt-Indian plant, which grows to a much larger fize and is not defcribed as being fo pubefcent: at the fame time it corre- fponds fo well with the fpecific charatter of Linn us, that we can but conclude it is the fame as what he intended in his Species Plantarum for Darura Mee! ; nor do we think it differs from the Strramonta of Doponzus and the older authors. In the Hortus Cliffortianus, Linn aus confidered all thofe with nodding fruit as varieties of the fame f{pecies, and fome Botanifts fill incline to the fame opinion, Peds We were favoured with the plant from which our drawing was taken, by Mr. Sarisaury, proprietor of the botanic garden in Sloane-Street, under the name of Datura innoxia of MtrveRr: and it is not unlikely but it may be the fame as the one defcribed by him, which he raifed from feeds received from Vera Cruz, though he fays the fruit is oval, and covered with long, foft, innocuous f{pines, It is not improbable, however, that there may be fome variety in the form of the fruit and in the length of the fpines. The extraordinary narcotic and inebriating effets of thele : oO plants has been fully defcribed by the early writers on Ealt- Indian plants ; but we have not been able to trace in any of them the praétice of f{moking the root in the afthma, not very long fince introduced to this country from Madras. The fir mention we find of this pra@ice is in Loursrro’s Flora Cochin-Chinenfis : this author afferts, that the bruifed root of the Darura (he confiders all the fpecies of Linnaus 2 mere varieties, except aréorea) {moked through a tobacco pipe ipcedily relieves violent paroxyfms of the afthma. ; a .. The roots of this fpecies are large, and confequently much fitter for the purpofe of fmoking than thofe of Datura fra moninm ; but whether thefe are fuperior in efficacy to the — other parts of the plant, is at prefent undecided. ih _ May be treated as other tender annuals, raifed on a hot-bed — in the fpring and planted in the open ground the latter-en¢ of May, where it will thrive and bloffom very well; but wih not ripen its fruit, except the weather prove very favourable. 1441 7.

The genus Sorwora, as conftituted by Linn aus, ferved for fome time as a common receptacle for almoft the whole of the papilionaceous plants, having their {tamens all diftinét; and thefe not being very numerous, no particular inconvenience arofe from the affemblage. But when the great number be- longing to this natural order, natives of Auftralfia, began to be known, it became neceflary to feparate the genera which were united by this one charatter only. With refpeét to the Papilionaceous genera of New-Holland, this tafk was ably Commenced by the PresipenT or THE LINNEAN Socisrty, In the firft volume of the ANNats of Botany, and is now Carrying on with more ample materials, by Mr. Roseart Brown. The prefent genus was framed by R. A. Sarissury, Efg. in the gth volume of the Tranfaftions of the Linnean — Society, Society, and named by him in honour of our botanical draught{man, Mr. Sypennam Epwarps; and Epwarpsia has been fince adopted in the new edition of the Hortus Kewenfis. Sopnora tefraptera, No. 167 of this work, is another fpecies, and is now called Epwarpsta grandiflora s tetraptera being the generic chara€ter of the fruit, and equally applicable to the whole genus. The prefent fpecies is not quite fo hardy as the other; at leaft it does not flower fo well when cultivated in the open air, which perhaps is owing to its difpofition to put forth its bloffoms fomewhat more early in the fpring. It anfwers be{t therefore to treat it as a hardy greenhoule fhrub. Our drawing was taken from a fine old tree, which has for many years produced abundance of flowers every {pring, in Mr. Matco.im’s green- houfe at Kenfington, and the fruit added from a {mall fhrub at Mefirs.

Brown, in his Prodromus Flore Nove Hollandie. But as this author has remarked that the genus Ocimum requires altogether to un- dergo a re-examination, both to decide which of the fpecies ave proceffes to the filaments, and of what value this, as yet ubious, charaéter really is in determining the genus ; and efpecially as he has not removed this plant in the new = | of the Hortus Kewenfis, we have thought it beft to leave it under Octmum; efpecially as it is very doubtful whether the ecalcarati or thofe {pecies which have no fpur, of which this is one, may not, in a general reform, be again feparated from the PLectrantuus of L’HERITIER. Mr. Brown has followed Mr. Portreau in denying that the corolla of thefe plants is refupinate, but not upon the fame ground; he thinks that the unopened flower always affords a certain mark, the under lip being in every cafe covered over by the upper. It is not however unnatural to fuppofe, that if the corolla is reverfed, the mode of imbrication will be reverfed alfo, in order to prevent the wet from entering into the interior; an injury to which it would otherwife be expofed. ‘To us it appears, that if this plant does not afford an example of a refupinate corolla, it will be in vain to feek for any in nature. _ Majana rubra of Rumr (not Mayorana, as cited by Linnaus, and copied from hign whenever this fynonym has been fince quoted) appears, from the defcription, to be our plant, but his figure is a very bad one.

This curious plant is a native of the Eaft-Indies, and has been cultivated in China, according to the pretenfions of the Chinefe writers, more than a thoufand years before the com- mencement of the Chriftian era. The feeds which are involved in an infipid pulp, fuppofed to be of a cooling quality, are farinaceous, and confidered as a wholfome food. The leaves, which float upon the furface of the water, fometimes exceed three feet in diameter, and are covered on both fides with fharp curved fpines. The under furface is of a deep bluifh purple colour, curioufly fupported by fpongy ribs, which rifing from the centre of the leaf, where the petiole Is inferted, are dichotomoufly branched over the whole. Thefe ribs have confiderably more perpendicular thicknefs than width, like the rafters of a houfe, and are covered with fpines at firft foft but becoming hard with age.

Our drawing was taken at Jemes'VeRrz’s, Efg. Kenfington-Gore, in Auguft laft, where it was cultivated with other tropical aqua- tics ina ciftern, placed on a hot-bed, and covered with a melon- frame.’ Under this treatment the feeds’ were’ perfefted, by which the plant is readily propagated. And as it is cultivated in the Jakes and pools at Pekin, though not to the fame per- fe&tion as in the fouthern provinces, there is fome reafon to hope it may be found not to ftand in need of artificial heat. The name of Euryace was firft given to this plant by R.

Our prefent plant bears its flowers more {cattered, the peduncles being longer, lefs divided, and thofe at the divifions of the ftem quite fimple, Perhaps the moft decifive : character charafier to diftinguifh repens from profrata is, that in the former the calycine leaflets are more fharply keeled, and have white margins ; in the latter the leaflets are more ob- tufely rounded and of a uniform colour.

Sate Brxa Orellana is a handfome ftove fhrub from its fine green foliage, though it very rarely produces any flowers in this Country: Mixrer remarks that he had feveral of thefe plants feven or eight feet high, with ftrong ftems and large heads, t that only one produced flowers, nor had he heard of its Owering in any of the gardens in Europe. ‘acs Native Native of South-America, the Weft and Eaft-Indies; at Jeaft it is cultivated in thefe parts of the world, chiefly for the fake of the colour extraéted from the feeds, and which is known here by the name of Anotta, or cheefe-colouring, being the drug commonly ufed in Gloucefterfhire to give a deeper colour to their cheefe. It is faid too to be added to their butter, for the fame purpofe, by the Dutch dairy women. The Indians paint the whole of their bodies with this colour; and it is fometimes ufed as a rouge by European females. The South-American Spaniards make great ufe of it as an ingredient in their chocolate and foups, not only for the fake of its colour, but on account of its fuppofed cordial virtues. It fhould be kept conftantly in the bark-ftove. Is propa- gated by feeds. : We were favoured with the opportunity of taking our drawing by the Comtefle De Vanpezs, in whofe curious colleétion at Bays-Water it flowered in November laft. > & & i! 2 Lubby S leer, A 7” Wh 7 f Luro re, dprt tere.

The faét is, that Linn«vus confounded two diftin® {pecies under the name of lobiferum, which miftake has been continued by moft or all Botanifts fince; although the one has almoft conftantly fix, the other twelve petals, with double the number of filaments, and both are in almoft every other refpeét unlike, aie a. The Hen and Chicken is fo called from the numerous glo- bular offsets which come out on flender threads from every part of the mother plant, and falling off, take root and become fo many diftin& plants. The increafe is fo great in this way, that the propagation by feeds becomes unneceffary, and there- fore the plant may be kept for many years together without fhewing any difpofition to throw up flowering ftems; but if the young offspring are conftantly taken off, and only one, or at moft two or three of the rofettes, conneéted by larger runners, are fuffered to remain, the plant will generally flower in the courfe of the following fummer. : The {pecies moft nearly allied to, and perhaps hardly fufficiently diftin&t from this, is the hirtum; Sempervivum petals fim- briatis Jebole patula, of ScumMipeL. Sempervivum /obolt- Serum is much more common with us than glodiferum, and the ate cultivated by Miuter, in 1773, probably belongs to the rmer, M1456 alas ii ii iJ “4 "a\ " " ~*~ ." , j Vf \ i \ i | 1 \ j j : / # a & j | ; i ij 27 pare te. a yo OR, wr 1 fides i es Lon ry A : dwark Deg Ludby Sh Cerbs Wal worit.

This This plant, the Hyacinraus cernuus of the above-cited work of Linn us, is, as we have ftated in the latter part of the article ScritLa campanulata in No. 1102, a variety of Scritia non feripta, and not to be confounded with the pink one of the fpecies we are there fpeaking of. In the fame place will be found our opinion of that which mifled Linn vs to confider the plant as diftin€& from his H. won /cripius, and_ to adopt, as diftin&tions between them, marks that are nowife conftant as fuch ; as well as to {peak of it as peculiar to Spain. When he defcribes the degree of bending in its raceme, which he does in a note, it is plain he could not have had a variety of cam- panulata in view ; although the fpecimen in the Bankfian Her- barium fhews that the compilers of the firft edition of the Hortus Kewenfis afterwards had; in the laft edition indeed there is no mention of the fpecies as diftin&t from non /cripta and’ campanulata. Miter had obferved that the plant appeared to be a mere variety of the Englifh Harebell. We infert Grrarp’s account of the fpecies : ** The blew Harebels or Englifh Jacinth is very common throughout England. The white Englifh Jacinth is altogether like the precedent, faving that the leaves of this are fomewhat broader, the flowers more open, and very white of tolour. There is found wilde in many places of England another fort, having flowers of a faire carnation colour, which maketh a difference from the other. The blew Harebells grow wilde in woods, copfes, and in borders of fields every where thorow England. The other two are not fo common, yet do they grow in the woods by Colchefter in Effex, in the fields and woods by South-Fleet neere unto Gravefend in Kent, as alfo in a piece of ground by Canterbury, called the Clapper s in the fields by Bathe, about the woods by Warrington in Lan- cafhire and other places.” Parkinson mentions the {pecies as varying with flowers ‘ of a fine delayed purplifh red or blufh- colour.” We have given neither fpecific chara€ter nor defcrip- tion in our article, thofe of the blue variety having been fo fre- quently and fo fully given in other works; and the differences between it and campanulata will be found ftated in No. 1102- The drawing was made from a fpecimen that was fent us] {pring from Mr. Haworrtu’s garden, at Little-Chelfea.

This fplendid Jatropua, which even exceeds in brilliancy of colour the pandurefolia (No. 604), was introduced into this country from the Ifland of Cuba, by the late Mr. Fraser, of Sloane-Square. If it fhould fortunately be as eafily’ propagated as its kindred fpecies, it will prove a valuable addition to our {tove plants. That this tree is dicecious, we prefume; not only from not being able to find an individual female flower, but becaufe none of any kind is produced in the dichotomy of the panicle: the fituation in which alone the female flowers occur in its kindred {pecies, the pandurefolia. Meee The bark, when dry, is ftrongly aromatic, not unlike in fmell to _ Winter's bark, but extremely fiery to the tafte, affetting the fauces with the fame durable acrimony, fo common to the natural order Of tricocce. We have no doubt but that it is the JaTRopHa zategerrima of Jacquin, which this author fays is cultivated in gardens in the Havannah, for the fake of its beautiful fcarlet flowers, an inch indiameter.

As our plant produced only one cauline leaf, and the flowers poffeffed very little inclination to a yellow colour, we at hefitated to pronounce it to be the fame with Mrcuaux’s. But upon fhewing our drawing to Mr. Freperick PUuRSH, immediately recognized it for DenTARra diphylla or Peppet- root, and from him we learn, that the number of leaves 9m the ftem is indeterminate, ftrong plants frequently throwing Out two, néarly oppofite, and fometimes a third below.

In the fecond edition of the Hortus Kewenfis, the above fpecific title is laid up in a kind of abeyance, the right to it being declared to reft between Mr. Sarispury’s /ragrans Speciofum and amenum. Whether our plant is the fragrans of that gentleman, as we have prefumed in the above-quoted article, or not, we fhall not pretend to decide. But we can have no reafon to doubt its being the fpecies reprefented in the two engravings quoted by Linn aus, as the fynonyms of his cari- beum ; to which Brown and Stoane, for any thing they con- tain beyond the habitat, muft have been quoted nearly at random.

Comes very near to the YACINTHUS corymbofus of THuNBERG, already given by us under the name of Massonra corymbofa (fee No. 991); but which, we now think, fhould have been referred to SciLvay (fee note at end of this article). It differs, however, from that, in having a {cape that is not fhorter than the leaves, a raceme that is not ere€t and corymbofe, by its large rootfheath and nearly obfolete brattes. Imported from the Cape of Good Hope, by Mefirs, Lez and Kennzpy, in whofe collettion it flowered flowered laft January; and, as far as we can find, for the firft time in any European garden. CG.

The prefent variety, in all our gardens, and fome of our books, has been miftaken for the canadenfe; a {pecies than which no one of the fame genus can well be more diftin& from another; that having flat leaves, a flender unin- flated ftem, uniform fimple ftamens, and bulbs more like thofe of of the Garlic than the Onion, This is an ufual plant in our gardens ; that we have met in no one, The variety a is deemed _ biennial ; our prefent one is certainly perennial. The following — account of it is taken from Nicuotson’s Britifh Encyclopedia, head Axirum, under which it erroneoufly ftands for the — canadenfe, being called the Canada or Tree-Onion. “ This,” — it is. there faid, ‘* deferves to be cultivated, both as a curiofity — in producing the onion at the top of the ftalk, and for the ufe | of the onions, efpecially for pickling, in which they are excellent — and fuperior in flayour to the common onion. It is perennial — and propagated by planting the bulbs in {pring and autumn. Either the root-bulbs, or thofe produced on the top of the ftalk, being planted in a bed or beds of any good earth, in rows a foot ~ afunder, fix inches diftance in each row, and two or three inches deep ; they {hoot up leaves and ftalks in the {pring and fummer, _ and produce the bulbs for ufe in July and Auguft; and the root-bulbs remaining, furnifh a production of top-bulbs annually in that feafon ; the root-bulb increafing by offsets, may be taken up occafionally at the time the ftem decays in autumn ; or once in two or three years, in order to feparate the offsets and plant them when neceflary."——This is all we know of the hiftory of — our prefent fubjeét, the drawing of which was made from a plant in Mr. Haworrn’s garden, where it was fuppofed to be the canadenfe.

Carol. aga ? 6) oc oc-orec L set According to the obfervation of Micuaux, moft of the fpecies of Laurus which are found in the colder parts of North-America are dicecious ; and all of them produce their flowers before any leaves appear. Generally too the feales of the buds, remaining after the flowers are open, conftitute an involucre to the little umbel or glomerule. We have not much doubt but that our prefent plant is really the Laurus melifiefolia of Warrer, as Mr. Fraser, the friend of the author and editor of his work, always confidered it as fuch; but as Micuaux’s name, abbreviated, has been adopted in PzRsoon’s fynopfis, and confequently is more generally known, we have thought it right to retain er The eaves leaves are not at all like thofe of Balm, but it was probably the fcent, not the form, that fuggefted the appellation. The Pseypo-Benzoin of Micuavux is, when in flower, fo like-Laurus Dio/pyrus, that there feems to be no other dif- ference, but that the pedicles and {cales of the bud are without pubefcence. Our plant is, however, a much {maller fhrub, and its foliage is confiderably different. We were kindly furnifhed with a growing fpecimen of the Pszupo-BENzoIN, by our friend Joun Wacker, Efq. of Southgate, this {pring ; but, on comparing it ewith our prefent drawing, executed laft year, at Mr. Frazer's in Sloane-Square, we were not aware of the difference till the leaves appeared and the flowers had all fallen. From the foliage it appears to be the fame as that {peci- men of Laurus efivalis, in the Bankfian Herbarium, which came from. the Botanic Garden at Leyden; but the flowering fpecimen, from J Acguin’s Herbarium, is evidently the geniculata, our next article. | Our plant produced male flowers only, with an imperfect germen; and on this account probably there was no appearance of the three two-briftled glands, mentioned in the generic charaéter. There were nine perfeét two-celled anthers: on the valve clofing, the cell of the anther opens from below upwards, and carries with it the whole of the pollen, leaving the cell quite empty: in this ftate the .anther appears to be two-horned. Befides thefe}nine perfe&t ftamens, there are fix glands ov fhoxt pedicles, refembling fo many little yellow mufhrooms with @ warty pileus. ile , La urus Dzo/pyrus isa native of ftagnant waters and marfhy places in North-Carolina, and is found intermixed with L. geni- cwata.» Qux drawing was made at the late Mr. Fraser's in Sloane-Square, in May 1810, and the foliage added in June. — _Propagated by cuttings or layers.

Walter Flor. Carol, p. 133. It is not eafy to fay to which fpecies Linnaus’s Laurus éfivalis really belongs ; his defcription of the leaves does not correfpond with this, and as to the character of fupra axillary branches, by which we fuppofe he means that the buds are formed below inftead of in the axils of the branches, it is equally applicable to the three allied fpecies. The zig-zag dire€tion and deep red colour of the branches diftinguifh the genicu/ata at firft fight; and more {cientific charac- ters are afforded by the little umbels being terminal agd pe- dunculated. A minute examination of the ftamens fhews a difference of charaéter hardly to be fufpetted in {pecies apparently fo nearly allied as this and the preceding, and which may make it dubious whether both can belong to the fame genus: | in Laurus Dio/pyrus the anthers, as we have remarked, are two-celled, in gemiculata they are four-celled. According to Mr, Brown (vide Prod. Fl. Nov,-Holl. p. 402.) the above ioe ould fhould feparate this fpecies from Laurus and join it to TrtraNnTHERA Of Jacguin. But we find four cells in the anthers of Laurus /affafras alfo: a diverfity which appears to us to throw doubt upon the value of the chara€ter drawn from the number of cells of the anther. We ought, however, on the other hand to acknowledge that we could not perceive in our prefent plant, any of the aromatic {cent in its bark, fo remarkable in the preceding fpecies and in Psrupo-BENZzOIN, as well as in moft of the genus. : Our drawing of this was made at the fame time and place as that of the preceding fpecies, and both were introduced from North-America by the late Mr. Fraser. Requires the fame treatment, but is probably more hardy, the texture of its wood being firmer. It fhould be remembered, with regard to both, that they grow naturally in very wet places, - : 2 7 M1. 7 2. . Z tila LS afor* 4 aL dard. 2) 2d. Lib bs I Ceer?r Wal work Juctet 1802.

From the above defcription, it will be feen that this fpecies can hardly be diftinguifhed by any permanent charafters from Crassuta. Yet, except in the number of its parts, and in having the four leaves raifed fome diftance from the ground, with {maller ones below, and a compound inftead of a fimple — umbel, it correfponds fo exattly with Sepras capenfis, under which name indeed we received it, that we cannot but confider it as a fpecies of the fame genus. Perhaps we ought rather to have added both it and Sepras capenfis to Crassura; the difference in habit, however, added to the already overgrown fize of that genus, induces us rather to preferve the genus Sepras: but we think that it ought to be removed to the fifth clafs. The feptenary number appears to be hardly natural in any plants, and the whole clafs Heptandria might very well be difpenfed with.

In both, thefe flowers are, contrary to moft of the fpecies, four-petaled and fimilar to the male, the ftamens are mon- adelphous, the alz of the capfules nearly equal, and the upper furface of the leaves are covered with minute fpinules. But HUNBERG, in his defcription of the fame plant, under the name of obliqua, exprefsly fays, the leaves are pale on = te furface; while in our plant the older leaves are on the under fide entirely bright red: in the younger leaves the veins only have this colour, the interftices being of a bright green. In the Botanift’s Repofitory it is faid, that Mr. Evans’s Colleétor firft found this plant growing in the clefts of the rocks in the Ifland of Pulo-Pinang, in the year 1808. Mr. Donn, in his Catalogue, marks it as a native of China, and dates its introduction to this country four years earlier. That it is really cultivated in China, the drawing above referred to, under the name of Tfou Hoy Tong, leaves no room to doubt: and we believe it has been in the royal colle€tion at Kew from about the time Mr. Donn ftates.

Being a native of Carolina, though hardy enough to bear Our winters when not unufually fevere, it muft be liable to be deftroyed occafionally. To this caufe we fuppofe is to be attributed the prefent fcarcity of a plant introduced into the country before the year 1738. : | * + Propagated Propagated by cuttings or layers. Flowers in June and July, rather later than the coronarius ; from which it is diftin®, not only in the margin of the leaves being quite entire, but, according to MicuauX, in the moré‘acuminate form ‘of ‘the ~ fegments of the calyx, and in the ftyle exceeding the ftamens in length and being folid its whole.length, not divifible into -four nearly to the bafe, 7 The native country of our prefent plant is certainly Carolina; that of coronarius is not yet afcertained : “it feems evident from Cxvsivus’s account, that it was difperfed over Europe from» the Dutch gardens; but whence it originated is unknown: per- haps from Japan.” Communicated by Mr. Wuir ey, late of Old-Brompton, and now of the Fulham-Nurfery.

It is furprifing that this fhrub, fo famed for its elegance, and of which Kzmprer enumerates twenty-one varieties cultivated in Japan, fhould ftill be fo rare in Europe, efpecially when we learn that it flourifhed, for twelve years, in the garden of Mynheer Jerome vAN BeverNinGky one of the moft cele- brated in Holland, producing annually a profufion of flowers, to the admiration and delight of the amateurs. Prof. HERMAN declares that, but for its want of fragrance, you might fay of it, it, that nature had never produced any thing more lovely; and even this deficiency might be faid to be amply recompenfed by the delightful ftru€ture, and exquifite brilliancy of colour of its flowers. Among the varieties enumerated by Kamrrery befides the many different coloured flowers, white, red, yellow, purple, and fcarlet, with fpots of the moft contrary hues, the foliage of fome is hairy, of others fmooth; fome produce their flowers before the leaves, fome after ; others are evergreen ; fome have five, fome ten ftamens. The variety cultivated in Holland was brought from Jaccatra; its foliage hairy and evergreen; flowers of a refulgent pale crimfon colour, and produced in fuch profufion from June to Auguft, that the upper part of the fhrub looked as if covered with a beautiful crimfon garment. Herman defcribes it as having four ftamens only, his diffe€ted figure however fhews five: in our plant there were ten, unequal in length, and flightly declined, which together with the form of the corolla and the fpotting of the fuperior lacinie, feemed’ to unite it with Rhododendron, rather than with Azalea; but in fa& there are no natural limits between thefe genera, or at leaft the number of ftamens affords none ; and moft of the varieties of this {pecies recorded by Kamrrer are pentandrous: _ ae The anthers in the variety here figured, and probably in the fpecies in general are very remarkable, ludicroufly reprefenting the heads of fo many little birds juft hatched; the polliniferous- cells, large and divergent, forming the eyes, and the moderately’ “ois body of the anther, terminating in an acute point, the ill, _Native of Japan and China, a hardy greenhoufe fhrub, re- quiring only proteétion from froft; and we are informed by Mr. Anpverson, the fkilful fuperintendant of Mr. Vere’s col- .
