The Nrortra /peciofa is a native of the Wett-India iflands, — 
‘and, of courfe, requires to be kept conftantly in the bark 
ftove. Wittpenow doubted whether the figure publifhed by _ 
Mr. Anprews in the Botanift’s Repofitory might not reprefent 
a different {pecies from Jacguin’s plant. Our drawing, how- 
ever, being certainly done from the fame fpecies as the former, 
leaves no room to doubt of the identity of all three. The co- 
Jour of the leaves, as given in the Botanift’s Repofitory, 1s 
much too dark a green, and the veining is falfely depicted ; 
but WitipeNnow has laid too much ftrefs upon the {mall un- 
dulation at the margin of the leaf, reprefented by Jacquin as 
giving an appearance of its being cr ed; for not unfre- 
quently this particular crifpature is altogether wanting, as in 
one of the leaves in our figure. ecg 

Our drawing was made feveral years ago from a plant that 
flowered in December, at Mr. Wooprorp’s, at Vauxhall, who 
imported it from the ifland of Barbadoes. 1s eafily propagated

climbs up the trunks of old trees, throwing out roots at each

The petals in this genus for the moft part flightly cohere at 
the bafe ; in fome they form a fhort tube ; but in this {pecies 
they unite into a tube above a quarter of an inch in length, 
narrowing downwards fo as to give the corolla fomewhat the 
form of a funnel. The plant confifts of a congeries of flefhy 
knobs, roundifh, hollowed at the apex. From the centre of 
this depreffion the flower is produced. " Haworrs confiders _ 
thefe button-like fubftances as the leaves, WiLLDENOW, ina 
nearly-related {pecies (minimum) as the ftems. The former of 
courle chara@terizes it as acaule or ftemlefs, the latter would

It bears the cold of our climate very well, and is eafily pro- 
pagated by layers or cuttings.© 

At Mr. Matcotm’s Nurfery at Kenfington, where our 
drawing was taken, there is a very fine {pecimen, planted 
againft a wall, fome of the branches of which did {pread five or _ 
fix feet; but it is now much reduced by the pruning knife. 
The leaves are evergreen, and the flowers fragrant: circum- 
ftances that add to its value. |

We did not notice the 4i/uleate charaéter of the inner leaves

_ Cavanittes inferted this plant upon the authority of a draw-

of Jussreu. Since Tournerort’s time we doubt if this Ge- 
ranium has been fubmitted to the eyes of any Botanift, till it 
was difcovered on the Iberian fide of Mount Caucafus, by 
M. Birsersrein, and publifhed in his Flora Taurico- Caucajica, 
a very interefting work, in two volumes oftavo, but which has 
not we believe as yet found its way to this country, except a 
fingle copy, the property of Mr. SracKHOUSE. 
_ Accordingto BieBERSTEIN the middle lobule, much fmaller 
in our plant than in CavANILLE’s figure, is fometimes entirely 
wanting, Our drawing was made at Mefirs. Wxittey and 
Brame’s Nurfery, now removing from Old-Brompton to Ful- 
ham, where thefe {pirited cultivators of rare and valuable plants 
ave taken the extenfive premifes late in the poffeffion of

Desc. A branchy fhrub : Jranches going off at right angles, 
angular, hairy, efpecially towards the extremities. Leaves ter- 
‘Nate, upon footftalks fhorter than the leaflets, fafcicled, one ge- 
ee ally larger than the reft, two confiderably {maller, and a pas 
ee ee bse ardly 


hardly perfe&t: /eaffers elliptical, green, {mooth, for the moft part 
open and not folded as in (a). S#/pu/es minute and falling early, 
Inflorefcence in termival racemes of fine yellow flowers. Braées 
ciliated, deciduous. Peduncles about the length of the calyx, 
moftly red, villous. Calyx 2-lipped, 5-toothed, 4: under lip twice 
_ the length of the upper. Vexi//um oval, quite entire, reflexed in 
the day, but at night clofing over and proteéting the ale and 
carina. Filaments all conneéted. Germen linear, ftraight : flyle 
afcending: /figma capitate. Legume oblong, narrowed at the 
bafe, glandular-muricate. 

This is an ereét fhrub, growing feveral feet high ; and has 
by no means proftrate flems, nor are the leaflets ordinarily 
conduplicate. It poffeffes very little hoarinefs or clamminefs ; 
and appears to us to correfpond better with the Cyrisus primus 
of Ciusius, than the /ecundus; and, like it, the leaves have a 
leguminous tafte, and though bitter are not intenfely fo, We 
confider Genisva canarienfis, of which the Cyrisus primus of 
C.usius was made a fynonyin by Linn vs, to be altogether 
a diftin& plant, bearing its flowers in crowded clufters at. the 


extremities of the branchlets, not in pyramidal racemes as in.

Said to grow fpontaneoufly about Naples ; but has not, that 
we know of, been noticed by any Botanift before VILLARS. 
Of late years it has been commonly cultivated in gardens in 
France for the fake of its fragrant flowers, which much re- 
femble in odour thofe of HeLiorropiuM peruvianum. It is 
as yet rather rare with us, but will probably foon 5 ei

Poparyria /upinoides, though introduced to this wre! 
by the Duke of NorruumBerLanp as early as 1775, is ftill 
very rare. Mr. Loppices, to whom we are indebted for the 
plant from which our drawing was taken, has been in poffeffion 
of it feveral years, having raifed it from feeds procured from 

iberia, but was never fo fortunate as to flower it till June 
1810, and then but imperfe€ily ; for, when in perfeétion, it 

as a long verticillate fpike. Some of Patxas’s {pecimens, 
Owever, in the poffeffion of A. B. Lamaert, Efq. have, like 
Our drawing, a fingle whorl of flowers only. 

The leaves and ftipules are covered with a foft filky pu- 
befcence: the former, in our plant, were moftly imperfect, 
Confifting of a fingle feffile leaflet, befides the leaf-like ftipules : 
When perfe@, the leaf is ternate, with a footftalk. 

Native of Siberia, Kamtfchatka, and Nootka-Sound. Flowers

We are indebted to Mr. AnpvERsON, of Tooley-Street, for 
feveral {pecimens of this rare fpecies, the bulbs of which were 
imported by him from Sicily and flowered in April. Comes 
very near to ge/neriana, but differs in the more oblong 
contraéted form of the corolla, the bafe of which is turbinately 
convergent and not broadly rounded as in that; the proportions 
of their organs of fruétification are alfo fomewhat different. 
Has been known. in our gardens as far back as the days of 
Parkinson and Gerarp; by whom it was efteemed tenderer 
and more difficult to preferve than others of its congeners, 

Found wild in the vicinities of Florence and Madrid, pro- 
bably alfo in Sicily and Portugal. G,

z Sg Es A perennial 


A perennial laxly cefpitofe and probably evergreen plant; 
leaves 8—g inches high, one broad, while young of atender light 
green colour, which becomes very deep and dark by age; 
margin membranous entire but fo curled as to have the appear- 
ance of being crenulate ;_/pike little more than an inch long, 
with the circumference of a man’s finger; the corolla did not 
feem to enlarge as the fruit ripened, being originally larger than 
the germen. The charafler of our plant does not entirely 
agree with that of the Uncrwia of Mr. Brown, and we have 
placed it under Caxrx, leaving its tranfpofition, if neceffary, 
to fome one better acquainted with its kind than we profefs to 
be. Micuaux has an American Carex that he calls /yphina; 
but we do not fee why it fhould be fuppofed to be this, except 
that his defeription will fuit almoft any fpecies with a fimple 
androgynous fpike. We believe it to be a non-defcript. We 
have named the fpecies after the late deferving and induftrious 
Mr. Fraser, by whom it was found in the autumn of 1808 
near the Table Mountain; and upon the banks of the Catawba 
River, in the neighbourhood of Morgan-Town, North-Carolina; 
and by him introduced into this country, where it flowered in 
his Son’s Nurfery, Sloane-Square, this Spring. G,

The corolla of the prefent plant agrees with that of cruciatum 
(No. 575.) in every refpe&t, except colour; but in caulefcens 
the ftem has acquired its full growth above ground even before 
the flower has expanded ; while in that the leaflefs peduncle or 
branch is alone feen until the fruit begins to ripen, when the 
ftem rifes above the ground as in Crocus. Since this differ- 


ence is feen both in the fpontaneous and cultivated fpecimens 
| 3 which — 


which we have examined, we have thought it a fufficient {pecific 
diftin@tion. From rofeum (No. 1225.) it differs in having the 
ftigmas beneath the apex of the anthers; from pudicum (No. 
1244) by an inner membranous fphacelate enclofed valve to 
the fpathe, as well as by the form of the fegments of the corolla. 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope; from whence it was 
imported by Meffrs. Lzz and Kennepy, at whofe nurfery at 
Hammerfmith our drawing was made. G,

The publication of the prefent plant, which can only be 
confidered as a more luxuriant and perfe& fpecimen of that 
already defcribed in No. 1123, was unintentional, We had 
long wifhed to procure a drawing of Iris verna for the prefent 
work ; when Mr. Warttey, of Brompton, kindly informed us 
that he had numerous fpecimens of it in bloom, which he faid 
had been raifed from American feed; and the prefent plate was 
ready for publication, before we had convinced ourfelves that 
the plant reprefented could not be the one we were in fearch of, 
although generally but erroneoufly paffing for it. Verna was 
firft inftituted a fpecies by Gronovius in his “ Flora Virginica,” 


from the dried plant in Clayton’s Herbarium, ftill preferved in 
Sir Josern Banxs’s Mufeum; from him it has been adopted 
by Linnads and fubfequent authors; whofe details however 
afford but little affiftance in difcriminating it from the prefent 
fpecies. But a reference to the prototype in the above herba- 
rium, fhewed us that verva was either a mere variety of criflata 
(No. 412.) with narrower leaves and {maller flower; or if 
{pecifically diftin€t far nearer akin to that than the prefent 
{pecies, from which it differs by a feffile flower having a long 
filiform tube equal to or longer than the limb and about even 
with. its long narrow fpathe. Since the firft adoption by authors 
of verna into their fyftems, the figure from Pruxener’s work 
has been uniformly repeated by them as its fynonym ; now this 
figure any atientive obferver will foon find to belong to criflatas 
of which itis a diminifhed but very charaéteriftic reprefentation; 
where the circular ramenta of its creeping rootftock and long 
intervals between the fafcicles, as well as the cuneately oblong 
lamine, and their divaricately patent ungues of the outer 
fegments of the corolla are accurately defined. The omiffion 
of all mention of the three fingular crefted lines in the corolla 
of criflata (fubfequently taken up as a fpecies from ‘the 
living plant in the firft edition of Hortus Kewenfis), when we 
know that vera was defcribed from a dried f{pecimen in which 
they are obliterated or nearly fo, makes nothing againit our 
fuppofition of the identity of the two plants. We have feen 
crifata with leaves full as narrow as thofe of the plant in CLay- 
ton’s Herbarium. Mricuaux enumerates both as diftiné 
{pecics; but his defcription of verna, like thofe of his prede- 
ceffors, is rendered ufelefs by its vaguenefs. If we could fup- 
pofe that there was no miftake in Mr. Wurtiey’s account of 
the quarter from which the feeds of the prefent plant had been 
received, we might from the habitat guefs that Micaaux’s 
verna was meant for our plant. But we believe that there is 
an error in this account; and that ruthenica is of Ruffian origin 
alone and not of both Ruffian and Virginian, But of this we 
do not pretend to be pofitive; although we are fo that it 1s 
not the verva of Gronovius, Linnaus, or Mititer. In 
Hortus Kewenfis the cultivation of verna in our gardens was 
moft probably recorded folely on the authority of MirveR, as 
was that of fo many other plants in that work; and this is the 
more probable fince there is no fpecimen of it from thofe 
- gardens to be found im the Bankfian Herbarium. ‘To this 
circumftance we ftrongly fufpe€& we owe the formation of 
criftata and verna into diftin& {pecies. Ruthenica thrives well 
in the open border, where it flowers in April and ace the 
corolla has the fcent as well as colour of the violet; for further 
account fee No. 1123. G.

At firft fight there is great fimilarity between this fpecies and 
Brenonta radicans (No. 485); but, when carefully examined, — 
they are foon found to be fufficiently diftin€&. The flowers of 
the latter are produced in bunches upon very fhort peduncles; ~ 
in this they form a large panicle, the branches of which go off 
at right angles, and are ftraight, except juft below the calyx, 
where they are curved fo as to make the flowers droop ele- _ 
gantly. The calyx too is angular, much longer, and more 
deeply divided. The ftems are not furnifhed with thofe root- 
like excrefcences by which, in radicans, they adhere to a wall 
or the bark of a tree. e 

The Bicnonra grandiflora is an extremely ornamental 
fhrub, is eafily propagated by cuttings, and bloffoms more 
readily than radicans. It is confidered as a greenhoufe plant, 
and is obferved to flower moft freely, when forced by artificial 
heat. It is not improbable however that it may be found to be 

‘fafficiently hardy to, bear our winters without fhelter, being a 
native of Japan and China.

Descr. Leaves from fix inches to a foot long, narrow, 
flefhy, and thick, often marked on the inner fide with a 
ftraggling dufky brown {pot or two; fem marbled-variegated 
with cinnamon colour and green; flcwers about three lines 
long, greenifh white with an external reddifh brown ftain at 
_ the fummit of each fegment, appearing, though more faintly, 
on the inner farface; {cent fomewkat refembling that of the 
Peruvian Heriorrorium. While fpeaking in No. 1372 of 
this plant (at that time unknown to us but by drawings and in 
herbariums) we had formed an opinion that it would be found 
not to be fpecifically different from the anguffifolia of No. 7353 
but a comparifon of the corolla in the live ftate fhewed us that 
no two fpecies could be more clearly diftin@. The orthopetala 
of JAcguin has been errofieoufly adduced by WILLDENOW. 
as its fynonym, who has been followed in this error by the 
editor of the fecond edition of the Hortus Kewenfis ; fee our 
obfervations in No, 1372. 

Native of the Cape of Good Hope, whence it was brought 
into the Kew Gardens by Mr. Masson in.1774.

The inflorefcence of the prefent plant having till now been 
only known to us by imperfeé& figures or ina dried ftate, and 
having been mifled by the very fingular agreement of its other 
parts, we had in No. 1155 joined it with the amécllata of 
Desronratnes, as the variety 8; keeping however the 
proper fynonyms of the two plants diftin&. A comparifon 
of the defcriptions of their inflorefcence, now that both are 
known to us in a living ftate, will fhew that the two plants 
never can be confidered but as very diftin& fpecies. Borealis 
approaches in many refpeéts to Uvutaria, as umbellata on 
the other hand does to Convattarta. We can find no 
difference in their /eaves ; but in our plant the amdel had no 
traces of any braétes at the bafe of its pedicles, nor were thefe 
placed round a fhort axis as in that, but iffued fafciclewife from 
the naked top of the ftem, and were of very unequal lengths ; 
they alfo differed in form, fize, and colour of their re- 
fpeftive corollas. Umbellata was found by Micuaux on 
the Alleghany mountains ; there is likewife a {pecimen of it in 
the Bankfian Herbarium, brought by Mr. Turner from the 
Cherokee territory. Borealis was introduced into this country 
in 1778, by Dr. Soranper, from Newfoundland and the 
neighbourhood of Hallifax in Nova-Scotia. We find alfo a 
one-flowered fmaller fpecimen, brought from the North-Welt 
coaft of America, by Mr. A. Menztzs, in the fame Herbarium, * 
which very probably belongs to a fpecies diftin& from both. 
Umbellata was moft likely unknown in this country till publifhed 
in this work, Both {pecies are hardy, and bloom together in.

We have never happened to obtain a living {fpecimen of this 
plant for examination, but as it is the fame with thofe of Jacquin 
and Repoure, in whofe works very ample defcriptions will be 
found, it would have been moft probably unneceflary for us to 

” have 


have offered any further remarks of our own. We have divided 
the refpettive fynonyms between the white and the blue flowered 
plants; the firft of which has been long known in European gar- 
dens; the latter only through the work of Rumpurus and the 
Herbarium of Commerson, and may after all, as far as we can 
fee, be a diftinét fpecies from the other. In the Bankfian Her- 
barium we found a fpecimen nearly allied to our plant, brought 
from China by Sir Gzorce Staunton, and which may 
probably be the plant of Lourzrro. Gartner profeffes 
to have had his. fpecimen from the Kew-Gardens, fo that 
his fynonym is certain. In the fecond edition of the Hortus 
Kewenfis, by a miftake very unufual in that excellent work, 
the Guapio us. 6, of the firft edition of Mrzitir’s Dic- 
tionary, has been adduced as an authority for the period. of 
the introduétion of our plant, when in fa€ that fynonym belongs 
to ANTHOLYzA éthipica; nor do we find our plant noticed 
in any of the editions of Mriuer’s work publifhed in his own 
life time. We fufpeé that there is no authority for the period 
of its introdudtion into this country; nor any certain one fof its 
habitat, unlefs we knew it to be of the fame {pecies with Rume 
Putus’s plant. Requires to be kept in the hot-houfe. G,

' tions annexed to the figures of it, as furnifhed with a long 
tube; but a careful infpeftion fhews, that what has been 
miftaken for the tube of the corol/a is in reality the upper fterile 
part of the germex, in which the /epsa are perceptible although 

’. the ovula are obliterated or nearly fo; and when the corolla 
decays, it is feen to part from the fummit of its fuppofed tube, 
leaving the fame cicatrix that is ufually perceptible on the ends 
of the germens of this genus when the corolla has fallen from

NOTE. 


In No. 1385, we have quoted the plant reprefented in the 
work on the rarer Hungarian vegetables, by Krraisex and 
Wacostern, under the name of Attium Ampelopra/um, as 
the variety B of the Ampelopra/um given in that number; and 

__4n fo doing we have followed the editor of the new edition of 

_ the Hortus Kewenfis. But we are now convinced that it is a 
non bulbiferous variety of arenarium ;. anda freth proof of the 

fallacy of diftinguifhing the fpecies of this genus by their du/- 

~-biferous or capfuliferous umbels. Arenarium is very clofely 
allied to Ampelopra/um, but differs in being altogether a much 
{maller and flenderer plant, in the colour of the flowers and by 
the form of the fpathe and bulb. G.

Desc. Stem ere&t, fhrubby, knotted by the veftiges of the 
fallen leaf-ftalks ; afh-coloured at the lower part and reddifh 
~ upwards, with raifed oblong whitifh fpots. Leaves upon long 
fpotted footftalks, which continue to grow and become recurved 
after the leaf is decayed, oppofite, flefhy, fimple, ternate, or 
even pinnate, ovate, crenate, veined on the upper furface, 
paler beneath. Flowers pendulous in termina compound pani- 
cles: pedicles divaricate, curved at the extremity. Corolla 
about twice the length of the calyx, one-petaled, fomewhat 
contraéted upwards, and obfcurely four-fided ; /émd divided 
into 4 lanceolate /acinie, fuffufed with red. Neéary 4 tongue- 
fhaped fcales inferted into the bale of the germens, which are 
four, oblong, terminating in as many /fyles equalling the 
ftamens. Filaments 8, inferted into the bafe of the corolla, in 
one equal row, the length of the tube. “ 


The name was happily conceived by Mr. Sarispury, from 
Gove to germinate & guArov a leaf. For this plant poffeffes the 
fingular property of germinating from the dark {pot obfervable 
at the bafe of every indentation in the margin of the leaf, not 
whilft growing, but as it decays. Thus, in attempting to dry a 
{fpecimen, little germinating bulbs were produced in abundance, 
though there was no appearance of any before the plant was 
depofited between papers. We know of no other fpecies which 
will come under this genus; the Coryitepon pinnata of 
Lamarck being probably the fame; and his two varieties 
differing in nothing but that in the one the crenatures of 
the leaves had germinated and put forth radicles, while the 
other had not. 

Native of the Moluccas, and brought into England from the 
Calcutta garden by Dr. Roxsurcu. Requires a moderate 
ftove. Flowers in May. Propagated by the crenatures of the 
leaves or by cuttings. 

We were favoured with the fine plant from which our 
drawing was taken, by Mr, Barr, of Ball’s-Pond, Ilington,

The plant here figured has wider leaves than the one given 
at No. 1229; the gores of the corolla are more finely cut, and 
the limb is {potted with white: circumftances probably owing 
altogether to cultivation. We fhould not, therefore, have 
thought this variety of fufficient importance to have given a 
_ feparate figure of it; but that, for want of more early attention, 
the whole impreffion was coloured under an idea of its being 
another fpecies, which we have not yet been fortunate enough 
to meet with. 

The fpotted-flowered variety of Gentrana Pacumonanthe, 
No. 1101, is probably alfo the effeé&t of cultivation, and not 
really different from our indigenous {pecies. The two plants 
mutually illuftrate each other. 

The name of /eptemfida is a very improper one; a corolla 

with feven laciniz being a very rare occurrence; BirBer- 

_ STEIN obferves that out of many thoufands, he could not meet

The /eaves of this fpecies vary Fwaitsch in length and breadth, 
and when cultivated are more or lefs ciliated at the bafe, or 
frequently naked: the broader ones have feveral longitudinal 
nerves, and when held to the light, are perceived, by the aid. 
of a lens, to be full of tranfparent dots, The /pikes of flowers 
vary much in length, and begin flowering at the top of the 
ftalk ; on which account, the appearance is much better when. 

it firft bloffoms than afterwards, when the dead flowers at the . 
fummit of the ftem render the plant unfightly. The remark- 
able length of the fligmas is perhaps common to the genus, 
though this charatter would exclude fome fpecies that are at 
prefent arranged under it. Though not comparable with the 
fragrance of Liatris odorata, the leaves of this plant are by no 
means deflitute of an agreeable fmell when dried.

BOMBAX Carolinoides. Donn Hort. Cant. p.156. 


We received this elegant fhrub from Meflrs. Loppices 
and Sons, under the name of Bomsax Carolinoides, an ap- 
pellation given it by Dr. Anperson of the Botanic Garden at 
St. Vincent’s, who was induced to refer it to that genus becaufe 
its feeds are enveloped in a fine brown cottony fubftance. But 
it is fo exa& a reprefentation in miniature of CaroLinea 
infignis, the fame truncated calyx, linear flefhy petals, and 
fingularly branched filaments, that we cannot confent to feparate 
it from that genus, and refer it to Bomsax, with the other 
fpecies of which it has fo much lefs affinity ; even though it 
fhould be found that the feeds of Caro.inea princeps and 
infignis have no cottony or other analogous envelope ; of which 
however we cannot find any certain proof, 

Caro inea minor differs from infignis not only in fize, the 
latter being a very lofty tree, but in the relative length of the 
peduncle, nearly twice that of the calyx, which in ijfignis is 
hardly fo long, though the calyx in the latter is more than 
fifteen, but in the former only about five times fhorter than 
the petals. The petals in our plant are green on both fides, 
in infignis, according to Swartz, they are of a bright red 
within, — : A

know may have all really belonged to C. infignis, they are juft 
as reprefented in our figure, or not fo large in proportion to 
the fize. of the flower. : 

Caro.inea minor, according to Dr. ANDERSON, is anative 
of Guiana, growing on the borders of rivers, and forming a 
very elegant tree ; but isnot commoneventhere. The fruit, he 
fays, is about the fize of that of Bomrax Ceiba, is a woody cap- 
fule, one-celled, with five valves, and numerous kidney-fhaped 
feeds difpofed in five rows, and enveloped in fine brown cotton. 
Mr. Lovpiezs received the feed of this tree feveral years ago

For the {fpecimen of this very rare climbing fhrub, from 
which our drawing was made, we are indebted to our friend 
Joun Wa ker, Efg. of Arno’s-Grove, Southgate. As it 
unfortunately produced only male flowers, our charaéter of the 
female was neceflarily borrowed from Micaaux: that of the 
male we have made to correfpond with our ideas of its {tru@ture 
from aétual though too limited obfervation. 

The fhield-like body, in the centre of the flower, which 
appears to have fix perforations, or five according to Mr- 
“CHAUX, is confidered by him to be formed by the coalefced 

feffile anthers ; we regard it as rather compofed of filaments 
| united 


united together; but, without deciding the queftion, we ufe 
the word ffamen, as applicable to either. Thefe apparent per- 
forations are not, however, really fuch, but fo many clefts in 
the border of the fhield, the fides of which are clofely applied 
together towards the margin, but feparate at their termination 
towards the centre, fo as to form fmall oval openings, the 
edges of which are covered with a white pollen. In the 
flowers of our fpecimen the leaflets of the calyx exceeded 
nine; thefe are round, concave, and imbricate, the inner ones 
regularly increafing in fize and in intenfenefs of colour 
withinfide, till they become of a bright minium red. 

Native of South-Carolina and Georgia, therefore liable to 
be killed by the feverity of our winters, unlefs proteéted by 
the fhelter of glafs, Flowers in June. Propagated by 
cuttings.

This is the moft robuft as well as clofeft flowered f{pecies of 
any of the genus yet known to us. We have not met with 
the red-flowered plant in any of our colle€tions; but Monf. 
Repours, who has publifhed it in his “ Liliacees* under the 
name of latifolia, fays, that he received it from Mr. Woop- 
Forn’s colleftion in this country, by the name of PircairNia 
racemofa, and that it came originally from the Welft-Indies. 
The yellow flowered plant now given, is a native of the Ifland 
- of St. Vincent, whence it was introduced by Mr. Evans 
about 1799. We agree with the editor of the fecond edition 
of the Hortus Kewenfis in the belief that the two plants are 
mére varieties of each other. : 

The ftem of our fpecimen was about two feet high, and 
towards the bafe about the thicknefs of a man’s finger. 
Requires to be kept in the bark bed of a ftove, where it

Descr. ,Stem 1—2 feet high, brownifh green covered with a 
very fine grey meal ; /eaves much fhorter, narrow, grafs-like ; 
corolla {carcely the third of an inch Jong, whitifh, fegments 
tipped with a cinnamon brown; anibers deep tawny yellow; — 
‘germen green; fiyles white, nearly the length of the germen; 
the whole plant fcentlefs. Native of North-America. Culti- 
vated by P, Mriier in 1768. Blooms about June. Requires 
the prote@tion of a garden frame in very fevere weather in this > 
country, where it feldom feeds; and, being propagated with — 
fome difficulty by the root, is ftilla fcarce plant. Nor have 
we ever feen it in flower, until the prefent {pecimen was fent 
us by Meffrs. Loppices, from their Nurfery at Hackney. 

It is faid to be known by the name of Star-gra/s or Star-root 
in America, and ufed medicinally. Seeing that there are no 
leaves to the fpecimen in CLayron’s Herbarium, from which 
the “ Flora Virginica” was compiled by Gronovius; we 
Tufpe& that the very erroneous defcription of them in the firft 
edition of that work, was owing to this circumftance, which 
, org a fome other fource fhould be reforted to by the 
autnor. ° ‘ Sey ”
