PREF AGiy

A Second volume of the Boranicat Macazine having
9 been brought to a conclufion fince the death of Mr.
‘Curtis, it feems proper that the very liberal encouragement.
this Work has continued to receive fhould be gratefully ac-
knowledged, the demand for it being by no means diminithed,
notwithftanding the irreparable lofs fuftained by that. melancholy
event, and the increafed price, which the preffure of the times
has made neceflary. : 5 : Za

To a few readers it may not be totally uninterefting to learn
how the Botanical Magazine came under the prefent dire&tion..
‘Long before his death Mr. Curris, perceiving his diffolution
gradually approaching, naturally became anxious to fecure to his
family the pecuniary benefits arifing from the fale of the Work,
their fole dependance. In order to leffen the impediments to
carrying it on, he laboured, as muchas his infirm ftate of health
would permit, to arrange and increafe the neceflary materials,
‘He applied to feveral of his moft eminent botanical friends
and obtained their promife of affiftance. Finally, inthe con-
fidence of friendfhip, he fubje&ed the future management to the,
ccontroul of the prefent Editor, with whom he had many years
lived in habits of intimacy. How far this. confidence has been

cerning public and it’s merit will be fairly appreciated;

In the conftru@tion of thefe volumes, but little ufe has Jat-
terly been made of the materials left by Mr. Curtis for feveral
-reafons, principally from a defire to preferve them as entire as
poflible for the feryice of the proprietors, in cafe of emergency,
and a wifh to indulge, our botanical readers with a reprefenta-
tion and defcription of fome of the novel and curious plants
which are annually introduced, particularly from the Cape of
‘Good Hope. In one natural order (the Ensartaz of Linneus
—Inipzs of Juffien) fuch additions have been made to our

former flock as to render the nomenclature a mafs of con-_
fufion. No part. of Europe contains fo copious a colleétion —
of thefe plants as the neighbourhood of London, the botanical
world have therefore fome right to expect an elucidation of this
fubje€t in our Magazine, andthe Editar thinks himfelf particu-_
larly fortunate in having met with fo able and liberal a coadju- —
tor in this difficult tafk. 2

~ What has been already done will fhew how much is due to”
the induftry and ability of Joun Berrenpen Gaw ter, Efq.
with whofe affiftance we hope in a few numbers to complete fo —
lucid an arrangement ofthe principal part of this order, that no —
Botanift will hereafter find any difficulty in reducing the indi- —
viduals to their proper genera. © “4

The fame Artifts are employed in every department of the —
Work asin Mr. Curris’s time. This will, it is hoped, infure_
the fame excellence of execution, which is fuch that the figures —
in the Botanical Magazine, for elegance as well as corrett-
nefs, will in general fuffer nothing by a comparifon with the
moft expenfive botanical works, a faét loudly attefted by the
circumftance that a large proportion of the ornaments of our
moft expenfive porcelain and cabinet ware is copied from them.
The Botanical Magazine will continue to be carried on as much >
as poffible on the fame plan as by Mr. Curtis himfelf. If fome-
what more of critical difcuffion fhould have been introduced,
our botanical friends will eafily perceive that the fubjedts de-
manded it, and whilft the price is not thereby increafed, it is”
not apprehended that any one will complain.

For himfelf, the Editor folicits the indulgence of the learned
Botanift,an indulgence he feels to be more than ordinarily necef-
“4 3 for being engaged in a laborious and important profeffion,
and having ever made Botany his amufement, never a {erious
fludy, he has greater dependance upon the continued affilt-
ance of his more learned friends than upon the exertion of his
own abilities. But, with this aid, he flatters himfelf that the Bo-
tanicat Magazine will continue in every refpe& to deferve the
public favour as well as it has heretofore done. 9

This plant is a native of New Holland, and we believe was —
firft raifed in this country from feeds from Port Jackfon, about —
the year 1783, by our much refpeéted friend, the Jate Mr. —
Curr, of Teddington, a gentleman of great zeal and affiduity —
in cultivating plants and promoting the fcience of Botany, to
whofe liberality the Brompton Botanic Garden is indebted for
this and many other fcarce and beautiful plants.

It fucceeds well in the greenhoufe, begins flowering about
the month of May, and continues in bloffom during the greatelt
part of the fummer. Is readily increafed by parting its roots
in the fpring, and fhould be planted in pots filled with loam.
and peat earth.

The Chevalier de la Marcx has given the name of Dia-
nella nemorofa to the Dracena enfifolia of Linnaus, with
which this plant bas confiderable affinity, but is certainly a
diftin& fpecies. The Dianella nemorofa of Jacquin, figured
in his Hort. Schoenb. t. 94. appears to be different from both.

We have adopted the name by which it is known in thofe
colle&tions about town which poffefs it—We hope to take

another opportunity of faying fomething more on this genus
as diftinguifhed from Dracena,

When the Hortus Kewenfis of Mr. Ayton was publifhed,
there were only five fpecies of Stapelia known in this country,
and of thefe two had been newly introduced by Mr. Francis
Masson. This laborious inveftigator of nature has fince
' defcribed and figured forty-one new fpecies, the flowers of
many of which are extremely beautiful as well as fingular in
their appearance. On carefully examining all thefe f{pecies, a3
well as thofe before known, we cannot find that our plant in q
every refpeét exaétly correfponds with any one of them. In_
the colour and fhape of the corolla, it agrees very well with |
the gu/tata, but in this the flowers fit on longer peduncles, |
which arife from the bafe of the ftalk, the ftalks are undivided,
and the tubercles are not hooked ; on which account we deem
ourfelves juftified in confidering it as a new f{pecies. a

The fpecimen from which our figure was taken, flowered
in the colleGlion of E. D. Wooprorp, Efg. at Vauxhall, laf
fummer, who received it from the royal garden at Kew

Having feen this Campanula cultivated in the Botanic Garden,
both at Lambeth-Marfh and Brompton, for many years, during
which time it has always preferved its diftinguifhing features.
We cannot hefitate in confidering it as a diftin& fpecies from
the rotundifolia, of which Linn aus has made it only a variety.
It is a plant of much humbler growth, the radical leaves are
never reniform, are frequently continued a confiderable way
up the ftem, and grows upon fhorter footftalks, which are
flattened, not filiform; they likewife continue during the
flowering, forming a mat, whereas thofe of the rotundifolia for
the moft part difappear at this feafon. The cefpitofa of Sco-
POLI is probably a variety of this. Jacquin having quoted
Scueucuzer’s Campanula, fig. 4. It. 4. as a fynonym of his
pujilla, which appears very diffimilar to ours, makes it fomewhat
_ uncertain whether his plant may be the fame, as he has not
given us any figure ; on which account we adopt the name of
pumila, by which it has been long known in the Botanic
Garden. There is a white variety; both forts bear a profu-
_ fion of flowers, and are very ornamental, particularly fuited

to adorn rock-work, being hardy perennials,

rarely met with in any of our colle€tions; yet as an ora

mental plant, it is certainly deferving of culture, efpecially by
thofe who have large gardens, and who aim at great variety: :

It isa native of Thuringia, as its name imports, and

parts of the North of Europe; flowers from July to September
and ripens its feeds in Autumn, by which the plant is eafily

As this is undoubtedly the fame plant which THuNBERG
has called Moraa Spiralis, we rather continue the name than
attempt any innovation, which is at leaft much better deferred
till the whole family fhall undergo a revifion. It certainly has”
but little affinity with feveral of the other fpecies of Morea,
and Wiripenow has queftioned whether it fhould not be
referred to Ariffea: it feems however to differ in too many
effential points from the ArisTea cyanea to admit of their
being united. ae

The root is ftringy, the leaves enfiform and ere& ; the feape
fimple, ereét, near a foot high, two-edged, jointed, flightly
twilted; the fpatha two-valved, entire; the flowers alternate,
with fhort peduncles, and moftly dire&ted one way ; the corolla
confilts of fix equal petals, which expand evenly, are white

_within with a purple bafe and become tranfparent between the
veins as they decline; when they clofe, they twift round one
another in a curious manner; the ftyle is longer than the
{tamens, and terminates in three fringed ftigmas of a bright
purple colour, THUNBERG probably defcribed the ftigma a5
fimple and villous, from examining it at tog early a ftage before
it was expanded. Our figure was drawn from a {pecimen which
flowered in April laft at Mr. Wooprogp’s, at Belmont-Houle,

The Ixta fflulofa of the Botanift’s repofitory having been
already figured by Jacgurn, and called radiata, ought to
retain that name *; we therefore feel ourfelves at liberty to
adopt this, although for a very different plant. We have
tather ranked it with Ixia than Gladiolus, becaufe of the ©
near affinity it bears to the Ix1a /picafa and plantaginea of
Wittpsxow, which is fo great as to require feeing them all

of the fpathe, of the fize and form of a grain Of oat, which
Jacguin confidered as. an abortient flower enclofed in the
internal valves of the fpathe; but Mr. Gawxer having

planted thefe bodies they all grew, which proves them to
be real bulbs. )

The Ixta fifulofa is a native of the Cape of Good-Hope,
and that from which our figure was drawn was imported from
thence by Ep. Wooprorp, Efg.. in whofe colleétion it
flowered in June 1800. It has been alfo imported by Mr.
Grimwoop, Nurferyman, at Brompton; and the fpecimen-
preferved in the Herbarium of Sir Josep Banxs, marked

Ixia Zeretifolia, flowered. at Mr. Matcoxim’s, at Stockwell,
in 17091.

It feems to be rather fhy of flowering, being apt to produce
bulbs inftead of flowers; by thefe, however, as the experiment
of Mr. Gaw ter fhews, it may be readily propagated.

to the Cape of Good Hope, who, amongft many others, fent
home this beautiful one, which flowered in the ftove at Clapham
in April laft. It is particularly diftinguifhed from all its con- —
geners by the winged footftalks; thefe wings are of a more
firm and rigid texture than the reft of the leaf, and as this
Perifhes they change to a brown colour, become more ereét,

in the native fpecimen we find this is not the cafe, and are
therefore inclined to impute it to the heat of the ftove. In

In the temperate regions of North-America this tree is much
Spoken of for its beauty, rifing from ten to twenty feet in height,
‘agreeable in its foliage, and coyered in the Spring and early part
_ of the Summer with a profufion of white or fometimes rofe-
- coloured flowers ; nor does it want beauty even in the gloomy
~-Months of Winter, from the quantity of red berries which it
ars, and which ai that feafon afford fuftenance to the fineft
_ warbler of the woods of America, the celebrated mocking bird
: (Turdus Orpheus) emphatically called in the Indian language,
the Hundred-Tongued Bird.
_ The flowers, which are not really fuch, but are in fa& an

‘It is atree of flow growth, and in Europe has, we believ

forded the fubje& of our prefent, figure is, perhaps, almoft the
only one in this country that can be faid nearly to rival thole
of its native foil. It grows in the Duke of MARLBOROUGHS
garden at Sion-Hill, is about fixteen feet high, and fpreads at -
leaft eighteen, has a ftraight trunk about fix feet in length |
before it branches, meafuring two feet in circumference a
yard from the ground; the bark much re‘embles an elm of
the fame fize. This beautiful tree has flowered freely for
many years paft, but unfortunately produces no fruit. Its age”
is unknown, but as we have evidence of its being cultivated
at Chelfea by Miiver, in 1739, it is probable that its origin
may not be of much later date. We are much obliged to
Mr. Wuirmay, his Grace’s Gardener, for fending us notice.
of this tree, and favouring us with fpecimens and with the
above dimenfions. a

“ It is moft certainly propagated by feeds fent from Vir-
“ ginia, which fhould be fown immediately after their arrival,
“in boxes or pans of fandy garden mould, and covered with
“wet mofs, to prevent the earth from drying, and placed
* where they may be proteéted from froft. Thefe precautions”
are the more neceflary, as the feed will lie in the ground
till the fecond or third year before they germinate ; and
as the young plants generally come up the latter-end of
Summer, they are then in too tender a ftate to refift the
“ froft without fome covering. A fhady and fheltered fitua-
tion promotes its growth and fecures its prefervation.

- As this fpecies has been fome years known in the Englifh_
gardens under the name of Puiox ovata, and correfponds with
the fpecimen preferved under the fame appellation in St
Josseu Banxs’s Herbarium, we do. not hefitate to continu
it, at Ieaft till we fhall be’ certain that the Linnean ova/a
really a different plant, although it hardly feems probable th
culture fhould make fuch a change as to convert a natural
folitary flower into fo large a panicle. © Se a
The leaves of the ftalk vary very much in breadth, and ate
fometimes lanceolate rather than ovate, but the radical leaves,
e{pecially thofe of the young fhoots which are pufhed out from
the root after, the plant has done flowering, always prefer
their charaéter. The flowers nod on their firlt coming out.
The whole plant is perfe&tly fmooth. ee
It is a native of North-America, and, though generally
confidered as a greenhoufe plant, appears to be a hardy
herbaceous perennial,gand we obferved, that when treated as
fuch at Meflrs. Wuitiey’s and Co. where it is planted in the
open border in a foil confifting chiefly of a fandy loam, it

a

thrives better than under any other management, the roots
fending forth very vigorous fhoots at a confiderable diftance
from the parent plant. ae

Our drawing was made fome years ago from a fpecimen
which flowered in the Botanic Garden at Brompton, fince
which time it is become much more common. It may be
efteemed one of the handfomedt of the genus; is eafily pro-
pagated by parting the roots, thrives beft ina fandy loam, and
although fufficiently hardy to refift the cold of our ordinary
winters, it may be fafeft to give fome pots of it the fhelter o'
a greenhoufe or of a melon frame, 2 ee

o Mrs. Wricur. Se eee
The above fynonyms appear to us to belong to this variety,
‘hough it is poffible they. may refer to more than one fort, as
authors do not in every refpe& agree.

It

It branches from the very bottom into feveral flender
feveral feet in length, which entwine round one another
whatever fupport comes in their way, where they are held fal
by the foorftalks of the Jeaves,. which, after thefe decay, become
woody, and continue to perform the office of clafpers. The
{talks are truly farmentous, the internodes being perfeéily
naked. At equal diftances of about four inches, the leaves and
flowers {pring from the fame, bud... Thefe gemmz are gene-
rally oppofite, confift of feveral imbricated perfiftent {quama,
the centre ones larger, membranous, and. of a brown colour.
It may be confidered as an involucrum, from the bofom of
which grow ufually two petioles and a peduncle bearing a fo-
litary nodding flower. The petioles are an inch and half long,
fmooth, or, if examined with a lens, flightly pubefcent, and
divide into three branches, of which the centre one is the
longeft, each bearing a ternate Jeaf. The leaflets, as in moh
of the genus, are fubjeét to vary confiderably in fhape, but in
general the three terminal ones are diftin&, ovate, acute, and—
more or lels deeply ferrated, the lateral leaflets frequently run
alP three into one; all are fmooth, but veiny on the under
fide.” The peduncle is longer than the leaves and ftraight,
bearing the flower nodding and the feeds ere&t. In the axille
of the petioles the new gemme are formed... By, this arrange
metit, and the perfiftent petioles, the old knots become very
darge. and intricate. The outer corolla confifts of four large

_ petals of a fine blue colour with a white edge, are ovate, acute
and covered on the ouatfide, efpecially at the margins, with a
fine down. © The inner petals are in fa nothing more than

_eblarged barren filaments; and. therefore the feparation 0!
this gemis from Ciemartis, appears to us, in this inftance at
leaft, to be neither natural nor néceffary. The plume of the

feed is a buthy tail of long white hairs, but is neither fecund,
as reprefented in Jacguin’s figure, nor diflich, as defcribed

by WritpENow. ‘
It is propagated by feeds only, at Jeaft the experienced

its root; being, as he terms it, “a frigefacient in fevers, and

other old authors appear. to have borrowed what they have

Caspar Bauuin. The author of this figure, though it was

different plant, having pubefcent leaves,- fewer in number,
nearly fheathing the whole ftem, flowers differently formed, with
larger and rounder fegments, ftigmas entire and complicate; and
is in fa€t a Gladiolus nearly allied to Giapio.us hirfutus by

As there is a fpecimen of our plant preferved in Sir JoszPu
Banxs’s Herbarium from Kew-Garden, under the name of
ANTHOLYZA_ merianella, it is not improbable that this. cir-
cumftance led Mr. Curtis into an error, which is no dil-
paragement to his judgment; for fuch is the confufion pre-
vailing with refpeé& to thefe plants, that the moft learned
Botanifts acknowledge their inability to determine many of
them. This confufion has partly arifen from the. difficulty of
the fubje& itfelf, owing to the great number of new fpecies
that have been introduced, which were unknown to Linn £us
or defcribed by him from dried fpecimens only, and to the
pronenefs of thefe plants to vary; but more efpecially from
the careleffnefs of authors, quoting falfe fynonyms, in the firft
inftance, and heaping blunder upon blunder by copying each
other’s errors, without fufficiently fcrutinizing the defcriptions.
The fear of adding to this confufion has frequently deterred us
from prefenting our readers with more of this beautiful tribe,
and but for the affiftance of Mr. Gawxer, who with infinite
labour and fkill, has been able to make out all Linn uss
and even Tuunserc’s fpecies, we fhould have been tempted
to have paffed them by in defpair. :

when applied to our plant, but how he came. to miftake it for

cauline leaves are fubjeét to branch, it may probably be fome-
times polyftachious. Spathes green, fphacelate towards’ the
point, keeled, and much fhorter than the tabe. Corolla about
three inches long. Tube twice as long as the throat, into —
which it gradually widens, and is joined by a geniculate cure
vature. Segments horizontally fpreading, equal, acuminate, —
as long as the throat, margins of the alternate ones flightly re-
volute. Stamens clofely accumbent, equal to the throat. An-~
thers deep blue. Style projeéting nearly equal to the fegments.
The bulb is fmaller than in many of its congeners and roundilh. _
The length of the tube, relative to the faux, is the perma-—
nent fpecific diftinGiion ; for although Jacquin defcribes the ©
fegments, tube, and ae as of equal length, bis own figure —
fhews his miftake. As fome authors fpeak of thefe flowers |
having a double tube, it may not be amifs to mention here,
that, in Mr. Gawcer’s defcriptions, that part only, to which
the filaments are joined, is called tube, where thefe become —
free the faux begins, and extends to the bafe. of the fegments —
of the limb.

This appears to be’ a very common plant at the Cape, as
every importation of bulbs from thence contains a confiderable
proportion of it, and fome arrivals have confifted of little elfe.
Perbaps it may be the plant firft defcribed by Linn aus in the
Mantiffa, by the name of Ix1a maculata ; but as that is faid to
differ from Ix1a ere#a only in having a ftain at the bafis of
the corolla, we referve this name for the fpecies anfwering |
beft to this defcription, efpecially as we cannot trace our plant
in any one of the thirty-eight varieties of maculata figured in
Hortus Schoenbrunnenfis, among which feveral diftinét {pecies
appear to us to have been blended. eis GP
~ Mr. Sarissury gave it the name of conica, from the above-
mentioned peculiar appearance of the flower when. clofed.

red, did not underfland the fpecies this author was defcribing,
being mifled probably by the word min‘dta, as. we confels out
felves to have been, when we propofed this as a doubifu

— Our acquaintance with that portion of the vegetable king-
dom included in ]ussteu’s natural order of [rides (the Enfale |
of Linn aus) has of late advanced with. rapid ftrides, and
new fubjeéts continually offering themfelves for proper a
rangement, the neceffity of a reform in the prefent conftituent
genera of this order is felt by every Botanift. We had
entertained hopes ef being no longer under the necellity”
of adopting an effential charafler fo vague and indeterminat€
asthe one annexed; but unfortunately. this reform is attende
with. much difficulty ;.the regularity or irregularity, tbe.cur
vature or ftraightnels, the equality or inequality of the core ad
inthis tribe, although hitherto uled. as the foundation of se
neta, -heing never to. be depended upon for folid, effentia
(and foinetimes, fcarcely for {pecific) diftinfions ; fo that,, nO!
withftanding the pains ke has taken, our friend, Mr. Gawtt®

_ into feveral fe€tions, diftinguifhed from each other by charac-
teriftical marks, with notices of fuch as appear to him moft
likely to become the foundations of future feparate genera,
With thefe obfervations we hope foon to have an opportunity
of treating our botanical readers. In the mean time, there is
one divifion, the {pecies compofing which are at prefent dif-
perfed in the three genera of Ix1a, Gtapioxus, and
_ AntHo.yza, fo very diftin@ at firft fight from the reft, by
their {mooth fheathing petioles, terminated in general by a
plicate and villofe leaf, with their bulbs fituated unufually deep
in the earth, that Mr. Gawxer has with the greateft pro-
priety united thefe into a feparate genus, with the name of
Baztana. They are called by the Dutch at the Cape, Ba-
_bianer, from the circumftance of their bulbs being a favourite
food of the baboons. This genus will contain, befides fe-

This is certainly the MesemMBRYANTHEMUM pomeridtauim
of Linnaus, both accurately defcribed and figured by the —
younger Linnaus. The Mesemaryantuemum belianthoides
of the Kew Catalogue we fhould be tempted to put down as@
mere variety of this; but obferving that both forts were intro-
duced by Mr. Masson from the Cape the fame year, we are —
unwilling to fuppofe that, in fo accurate'a work, two fpecies
fhould be made of one when both could be compared together _
~~ It has ufually twelve ftigmas and as many cells in the cap-
fule ; the peduncles and bafe of the calyx are always hairy;
the fegments of the calyx irregular, three of them flat and
ufually longer than the petals, and two rounded in the middle
with membranaceous appendages at the bafe. |
It is a tender annual ; but if raifed in a hot bed in April or
May, the young plants may be fet out in the open border DY
the middle of June, where they will thrive much better. than
when confined in a pot. They produce a great. number ©
flowers, which when expanded, as they always are in the
afternoon if the fun fhine, are very fhewy; and as they feed
_ freely, they are eafily propagated. me

early in July Jaft.—Introduced to the Royal Garden at Kew,

name from a fuppofed refemblance to Sci. amena, a proot
that he defcribed from a dried fubje&, in which ftate it cet-
tainly affords different ideas of refemblance, than when feen

in a living one, efpecially in colour, which then becomes
nearly violet ; but is diftin& fromthe I. /ci//aris of Taun BERG
that being nearly allied to I. /ecunda. What is ufually called
JSeillaris by the Nurferymen is 1x1 exci/a, which refembles our
plant in the leaf, but is a completely different {pecies. -

_ This article, for-which, as well as the preceding, we are er
tirely indebted to Mr. Gaw er, will, we hope, be the means
_ of putting an end to the errors and confufion this {pecies has.
caufed among Botanifts. The Synonyms are fo arranged ast?
fhew its hiftory and clear up the blunders. Tuunsere ful
pe&ed Linn auss’s fcillaris was his fecunda, a {pecies, perhaps,
the moft diftant from it of the whole genus, He. obferves |
our plant, that it now and then, though rarely, has four fta-
mens and four ftigmas, and fometimes five, to which he-might
have alfo added fix ; but this is a Juxuriancy well known to
cultivators of this genus not.to be at all uncommon in moft 0
the fpecies; to which redundancy of the parts of fruétification,
a proportionate one of the fegments of the corolla “soften added
but furely this cannot juftify his adopting the tivial name OF
pentandra, efpecially as he allows its having five ftamens 0 —
happen very rarely. Ixra crocatafometimes occurs with twelve
fegments, fix ftamens, fix ftigmas, and Ixia falcata-with nine
fegments, fix ftamens, ftyles, and ftigmas. .

It is eafily propagated by feeds-and offsets ; flowers as early —

as January. Was introduced into the Kew Garden by
Mr. Masson in 1787. : i

This very curious fpecies of Er1peNDRUM, which we
believe flowered for the firft time in this country* in the bark
flove of Eowarp Wooprorp, Efq. Vauxhall, in September
Jaft, rifes with a fingle ftem, clothed with two or three alter- .
nate afh-coloured fcale-like fpathes, fo clofely adprel ed
to be fcarcely difcernible. From the top of the ftem ‘iffues:

In the fame fuperb colle&tion, we had the pleafure of feeing in
flower, at the fame time, the Ep1DENDRUM fragrans of SWARTZ, —
{o called from the very fine odour it diffufes far around, aplant —
formerly figured in the Botanical Magazine, and there called by
miftake Eptpenprum cochleatum. Who can avoid occafional
error, efpecially where the {pecies are fo. numerous? Profeffor
Martyn, in his edition of M1.Ler’s Di€tionary, enumerates
one hundred and twenty-four kinds, of which but thirty were
known to Linnaus, and only’ Your appear in the Kew Cata-
logue.

Being a native of the Welt-Indies, and naturally a parafitical —
plant, its culture is difficult, and it is of neceffity a one
inhabitant of the bark flove in our-climate.

Mr. Wooprorn’s head gardener, Mr. W arson, who isa
very fuccefsful cultivator and pays. great attention. to the na-_
tural propenfities of plants, recommends in the management —
of EpipEnprum to protef the roots by knobs of old tan,
and obferves that, in general, they love fhade and a hot damp —
air, but do AS} bear much water to the roots. :

The

The genus Arcroris,;as at_prefent conftituted, contains
fpecies which do not well accord with one another, nor even
come under the fame order in the Linnean fyftem, the prefent
plant properly belonging to the order of Porycamra Frus-—
TRANEA. ARrcTOTIs anthemotdes,. paradoxa, and dentata, are, —
however, certainly congeners, and Gartner has made an ~
attempt to form them into a diftin& genus, under the name
of Ursinta, in which we might have been led to have fol-
lowed him, but unluckily our plant wants his effential character —
of a double pappus om the ‘crown’ of the feed. It fre-—
quently, though not generally, happens that the floret re-
mains attached to: the: feed after this, is. ripe; is it poflible
that, in the examination of a dried fpecimen, fuch a circum- |
ftance could have deceived this accurate Botanift ? However
this may be, our plant: has-certaimly no fuch double pappus,
one within the other, as he has defcribed and figured, although —
it has, which is very. unufual, a fort of pappus at both ends, a—
membfahous crown at one end, and a-pencil of hairs at the —
other. By this laft, the feed attaches itfelf to whatever it hap- —
pens to touch, and by this means may be conveyed to a greater
diftance than by thehelp. ofthe wind. |

Though poffefling no particular beauty, it is, in feveral re-
{petis,.curiqus to. the, eye of a common obferver. , All the
infide of the .flowet is of a lively yellow colour, the outfide
purple. The buds nod,, but the flowers when expanded ftand
exe&t ;..as the flower decays, it again nods till the. feeds are
ripe, when. it rifes: upright, and the crown of the feed expand-
ing at the fame time, it very much. refembles fome flower of
another family, having a corolla of five white fegments. and
a brown ftar in the middle, not very unlike a flatices The
whole plant fmells like Chamomile. 4

It is an annual, a native of the Cape of Good Hope, and —
thrives very well in the open border, and if brought forward
by being fown on a hot-bed in the Spring, will produce plenty
of feeds.’ If kept within doors, the flowers ‘diminifhr in fize
and lofe their purple colour. It has been cultivated at the
Botanic Garden. at Brompton’ fince the year 1795, at which
time it was firft raifed there from feeds obtained from the ~
Cape of Good Hope. 1s aan sae

This is alfo termed by the Dutch Viuweel Bloemje, or Velvet-

branches; flowers, three to five, fcentlels, or, according to
Mr. Curtis, flightly fragrant; leaves, as in its relatives,
more numerous than is general in Ixra, fix toten, outer ones —
gradually fhorter, outermoft fcarcely half an inch long. De _
ta Rocue’s variety is blotted and ftreaked with brown ; but L
if Ix1a /acera, which we have not yet met with, be a difting
fpecies, this would rather be a variety of that. : ye

Propagates faft by feeds, ftem-bulbs, and root-bulbs, and is
become one of the commoneft fpecies in our gardens, yet has
never before been figured, except in the Botanift’s Repofitory.
Preferves its colour, when dried, unimpaired. Cultivated by
MIccer in 1758. 7

It has been fuppofed that many remarkable varieties in this”
genus have been produced by the induftry of Dutch gardeners,
but this is very doubrful, for certain it is that fcarcely a va-.
riety, or what is fuppofed to be fuch, has been imported from
Holland, that has not been produced alfo from bulbs that
were undoubtedly gathered wild or difcovered in {fpecimens —
colle&ted at the Cape. Whenever therefore a plant affords”
marks of diftin@ion from its congeners, exceeding thofe al-
loted to variety: by Linnzus, and is not known to have been :
raifed from the feeds of the identical fpecies of which it
pretended to be a variety, we, without hefitation, record it 2
diftinét fpecies: as ftudioufly avoiding, on the other hand, to
enumerate as fuch, thofe that merely differ within the rules
prefcribed by our great mafter. When, as in this inftance,
we are but flightly acquainted with the local economy ane
_ precife habitat, this rule requires to be ftritly attended to. —

Betwixt the variety of Monarda fiflulofa, figured pl. 145, of this
work, and the prefent fpecies, there is a great fimilarity, efpe-
cially as that plant is coloured, the blofloms not inclining fo
much as they ought to the crimfon hue; for, in regard: to
colour, the two plants differ very materially, the flowers of
the didyma being of a rich fearlet, and thofe of the jiflulofe
var. of a fine crimfon; but the great fpecific difference be-
tween the two confifts in the angles of the ftalk, which are fharp
in the one and obtufe in the other; the variety of the fiflu/ofa
grows toa greater height alfo; there are many other differences
which it is néedlefs to particularife, fuffice it to fay, that they
are both very defirable plants, of the hardy herbaceous kind,
and worthy a place in all colleétions. — 2 pe
_ The didyma feldom rifes to above the height of two feet, it _

rows out numerous ftalks, whence it becomes bufhy ; its”
foliage when bruifed gives out a moft delightful fragrance,
which alone would entitle the plant to a place in every cata

It is a native of North-America, from whence it was intro-
duced by Perer Cotitnson, Efg. in 1755, flowers from
June to Auguft; prefers a moift foil, where, like fome of the
mints, it increafes greatly by throwing out numerous fhoots from
its roots, by dividing and. tranfplanting of which it is readily
propagated, as well as by feeds, which it produces, though not
abundantly. i 2h a

The name of Monarpa was given to this genus in honour
of Nicnotas Monarpgs, a Spanifh Phyfician, of the fix-
teenth century, and its trivial name from this fpecies having
fubdidynamous flowers, i..¢. with four flamens, but two of
them without anthers.

Many of our readers will doubtlefs be furprifed to fee this ©
plant ranked under Ix1a, where indeed, as the effential cha-
rater has hitherto ftood, .it can claim no admiffion; . but,
_ while grandiflora and. its relatives are fuffered to remain, this
cannot be excluded without giving a fhock to natural affinity,
as violent to that as ufelefs to artificial fyftem, for fo com-
pletely do this and Ixia grandiflora of the laft number agree
in habit, in capfule, in feed, and in fpathe, that before the
Corolla is expanded, or after it is wafted away, they cannot be
diftinguifhed from each other. From the irregularity of its
Corolla alone it has been univerfally confidered to be a Gra-
_ DioLus, from which genus it is however entirely excluded by
_ the corre@ted effential chara@ter, as given by Mr. Gawier
(vid. 538). As this agrees with Ix1a_ grandiflora, bulbifera,

of the natural affinity of thefe plants, and under this impreflion —
had marked the drawing of Ixia du/bifera, given this month,
Grapio us /ulphureus, and noted it as one of thofe fpecies —
which it is difficult to determine whether it belongs to that
genus or to Ixra. When fuch men as he are at a lols to.
arrange the fpecies under the genera as now conftituted, it —
fhews the neceflity of a reform*. Pe 2

might poflibly have been Jed to have confidered our plant as
a feparate {pecies ; but during the infpe€tion of fome hundreds
of fpontaneous and garden fpecimens, we have feen it in all
the phafes ufual to this changeable fpecies ; as alfo without the
ftain, which, as ¢reéa differs only from maculata by the large
ftain at the bafe, muft be referred to the former. It propa-
gates freely both by feeds and offsets, is not very tender,
never expands but in clear weather and when protected from
the wind. Preferves its beauty if carefully dried. =

This beautiful flowering fhrub is a native of the Welt- |
Indies, and confequently requires the heat of the bark ftove
to bring it to any perfeétion in this country, where it 1s very
ornamental, producing its fine red flowers in abundance along
the flexile pendent branches. _ ene

It is certainly a very diftin& fpecies from the SamyD4 —
'ferrulata defcribed and ‘figured by Jacquin, in the feconé —
-volume of his Colle€tanea, which has acute leaves finely fer- |
rated, and folitary flowers different in fhape as well as colour. e,
It was fent to this country by Dr. ANDERSON, from te
Botanic Garden at St. Vincent’s, and has been fome years
the very fine colleétion of rare exotics poffeffed by Mr. Ev:
at Crombie-Row, Stepney, where our drawing was taken.

By Dr. ANDERSON it was called Samypa pube/cens
apparently unknown to Botanifts of our day, and as te ‘y"
nonyms quoted by Linn.zus (which certainly have no alinity —
with this) are referred to other plants by Profeffor SwaRt?> —
we were inclined to fuppofe that he might be right, ae,
Dr. J. E. Smirn having kindly examined the Linnean Her —
barium, informs us, that there,is no fpecimen fimilar to yee:
drawing there, and, from a critical examination of the who a
genus, is inclined to believe that it is the GurpoN1a 4”

folio flove rofeo of Prumier, which Linn 2us appears oe
_ confounded with the Guiponia ulmi folio flore mved-
fame author, his Samypa /errulata.

We found confiderable difficulty in determining this {pecies, —
till we fortunately found in the Bankfian Herbarium a {peci-
men in every refpe&t correfponding with the one from which —
our drawing was made, by which we found that it had been —
regarded by the late Dr. Soranper asa nondefcript fpecies —
and had been named by him Campanuxa azurea, and dik —
tinguifhed by the fpecific chara&ter above given. In bom
fpecimens the leaves are f{mooth on the upper fide, and have
very thinly fcattered hairs on the under ide ; on which ac- —
count we have enclofed the words utringue pilgfis between —
crotchets. In many refpe&ts it refembles lilifolia, but differs 2
in its angular ftalk, in the length of its calyx, and, as we DS
lieve, has very diffimilar roots. Was fent with other plants
from Switzerland to Mr. Swainson, by whom it was come —
municated to Mr. Sariszury at the Botanic Garden, Bromptom —
where our drawing was made laft. The fpecimen in the Her-
barium flowered in the Botanic Garden at Chelfea in 1778)
and is marked as a native of Switzerland. It is a hardy per
ennial, and, as an ornamental flower, worthy of culture.

Massonta is very nearly allied to Hyacinrius, particu-
larly to the Cape {pecies, and had. we. followed our own ideas —
of natural affinity, we fhould have rather placed this fpecies —
under the latter génus: in doing as we have, \we/merely yield —
to the effential chara@ters as’ they at prefent ftand. Perhaps it _
will be’ hereafter found unneceffary to feparate thefe genera
at all, or, if they are diftinguifhed, a confiderable transfer of -
the {pecies muft be made. Jussreu has hinted, that-it would
be more natural to take the charaéter of Hyacintuus from

the corolla than from the germ. ~'For not continuing it as a
“eongener of Acapantuus wmbcllalus or of PovyaNntHEs
tuberofa, we believe no apology is neceflary}: but to fuch as
think differently, or that it is a -diflin& genus, we offer the ©
above defcription from Mr. Gawver, as its natural character. —
Enfifolia is a very bad name, -but better than’a new one.— :
Tuunserc’s figure was certainly taken from a dried fpecimen, —
and in the Bankfian Herbarium is one, fo precifely refembling —
it, as to induce a fufpicion that it is the very one from which ;
his drawing was made, The fame collection containsa very —
_clofely allied fpecies, under the name of Masson1a uniflora, —
with. a larger flower and a fingle narrow. linear leaf... =.
With us it flowers in Gober or November ; requires the |
- fame treatment as other Cape bulbs, but the roots fhould not
be taken up, prefervation from wet in their ina@tive fate being —
fufficient. The Rev. Mr. Bave informs us, that with him I~
produces abundance of offsets, while others complain of i —
flow propagation in this way; it produces. feed however with
all. . Was introduced by Mr. Witziuiams, Nurferyman at
Turnham-Green, who raifed it from Cape feeds, together with
a_very pretty purple variety, about the year 1791- _ Our

The name of verficolor.was probably given to variety (a)
from a flight change perceptible in its colour after fun-fet,
proceeding from the difference of light: in our variety this
is not at all obfervable. Our figure was taken from a
plant at Meffrs. Grimwoop and Wrykes’s, who are pretty
certain they raifed it fome time ago from Cape feeds, but it
never flowered till this year; perhaps when the bulb is ftronger
and older it may approach nearer to var. (2) or may prove a

The MeLrantsium junceum, at firft fight, has much the
habit and appearance of an Ixia, but the moft fuperficial
examination immediately fhews it to belong, not only to a
different clafs in the fexual fyflem, but alfo to a different na-
tural order. Still, however, there is a real affinity, and it
may be confidered in fome meafure as a conneéting link be-
tween the Iripes and Junci of Jussieu; for it 1s only to
unite the claws of the petals into a tube and to join the ftyles
at the bafe and take away half the ftamens and we have a
complete flower of an Ix1a, naked indeed, the MELANTHIUM —
having only one fpathe or involucre to the fpike and none to
the feparate flowers. :

From a careful examination of the fpecimens in the Bank-
fian Herbarium, we are convinced that the MELANTHIUM
triqueirum of Tuunsere and junceum of Jacquin are one
and the fame; the former, having made. his defcription from
dried plants only, might be eafily led into this error; but as,
in a growing ftate, there is nothing triquetrous in the form of
the leaves; we have given the preference to Jacguin’s name,
although THunsexe’s has the right of priority. !

Our drawing was taken from a plant fent us by Mr. Sa-
LisBpuRY of the Botanic Garden, Brompton, in January laft,
fome weeks earlier perhaps than it would have flowered had it
not been forced by the heat of the ftove. Mr. SarisBURY
received it with feveral other curious bulbs from the Cape,
the latter end of laft Summer. 3 ppt.

The treatment fhould be the fame as for other Cape bulbs.

Bank/. Mf. {peaks oftit. as a {mail nettariform ringlet,» created

Jussizu, on the other hand, calls the part we allude to, “ faux

the bafe of the fegments, which afterwards becomes upright,
and adds, that it is TuHunsexrc’s neétary; but here he is
-wrong.—From all the above Botanifts we in fome meafure
diffent. The corolla we hold to be completely monope-
talous, and that there is no nettary confidered as a diftiné
appendage; but in many fpecies (of which the prefent is
the moft remarkable inftance Known tous) the outer cuticle
detaches itfelf from the inner and is. rolled back fora greater
or lefs diftance; of this the fix flaccid fegments are the diftiné
and immediate continuation, fhrivelling almoft as foon as: ex-
panded in our fpecies; the upper part of the inner cuticle
thus bared affords the ne€tary-like appearance authors allude
£0; and. is (as are.alfo molt. probably the filaments) the feparate
- and uninterrupted continuation of that membrane, the whole is
firmer, of a diftin@ colour, and remains in vigour until the ufual
procefs of impregnation is completed. — However wide the chafm
may appear between this and Massonta enjifolia, it is naturally”
enough filled up by a feries of fpecies, in which the denuda-
tion of the faux gradually diminifhes till it difappears in en/-
folia, where the. bafes of the filaments. are even below the.
bafes of the fegments: as the faux decreafes. fo the elongation
of the tube increafes, and the ne@areous liquid finks deeper.
and deeper till it is, quite out of fight in ‘enffolia..and
unifiora. ..The whole of this natural clafs is, according to.
Jussiev’s fyftem, corollalefs; but as it confifts of herbaceous
thin-rinded plants and fomewhat fucculent, we fafpeé the outer,
cuticle above mentioned is the continuation of the exterior

rind (corlex) too fine to. produce a more fubftantial covering,
and that it correfponds with his Ca/yy; that the inner one,
on the other hand, is the continuation of the interior rind
(liber) and that it may be his Corolla, both being thus united
to afford a fufficiently fubffantial prote@ion to the parts of
fru@tification ; if fo, the fame will apply to the whole clafs ;
itis evident in this genus the two coats are fpontaneoully.
feparable, of different degrees of duration, the inner one abid-
ing the procefs of impregnation, then withering. We merely.

_ Atender annual, to be raifed on a hot-bed in the Springs —
and about the middle of June it may be planted into the open —
border, where it will ripen its feeds. Its fine fearlet flowers —
make a brilliant appearance, but its ftalks, being weak and —
growing two or three feet high, fhould be properly fupported
to preferve its beauty from being marred by high winds oF
heavy rain. Our drawing was made at Mr, WooproRD% —
at Vauxhall, who received the feeds from Mr. Tuovin, Bae
tional gardener at Paris in the Spring of 1800, under the —
name of Cacaxia fonchifolia ; but as it neither anfwers to the
defcription of that fpecies, nor at all refembles the fpecimens —
preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium, we confider it as a to-

tally diftin& {pecies'; and not finding that it has been hitherto
defcribed or figured, we have given it a name expreflive OF
the colour of its flowers and a fpecific charaéter, which We —
believe will fufficiently diftinguifh it from every other know?

The Crematis Viticella is a native of Spain and Italy, and
bears the cold of our winters very well; is a very ornament
climber, and its flowers fweet-fcented. Though well know?
to our older Botanifts, and cultivated as long ago as the year —
1569, by Mr. Hucu Morceay,®* it is by no means common:
the double variety is more fo; but this in our opinion, though
preferred by Mitter, is not fo handfome as either ol

It flowers in June and July. Is propagated either by feeds,
which it fometimes produces in this country, or by laying ee
young fhoots down early in the Spring or at the latter-en@ ©

This is a native of the Cape of Good-Hope, growing {pon-
taneoufly at the foot of the Table Mountain. The conical
bulbs about the fize of thofe of Crocus verua are faid to be
edible when roafted. There is a great fingularity in the growth
of the ftamens, which diftinguifhes the genus from every other:
five of them have very fhort filaments and ereét incurved an-
thers which open at the point, the fixth is declined and much
longer both in the filament and anther, which laft is tongue-
fhaped and grooved in the middle, upon this the flyle 1s in-

appearance of an anther, but all fix are confidered as fuch. —

In external habit it is very fimilar to DianELLA caerulea,

a fufficient Recompence for the Advance. It is indeed ob-

Sona nd rarity ob hae is

We are induced from the beauty and rarity o 3
(though a variety differing in little elfe than pigetooare om
already publifhed by Mr. Curtis) to offer it ¢ t = ” es
It has been very lately imported from Holland by Mr. Co1- —

Vittz, of the King’s-Road, Chelfea, and =s believe has a |

before been feen in England. It is not above one-third the |
height of var. a, and is of a more beautiful colour. The
leaves of both, from the prominence of their ribs, have the ~
appearance of being thick and bilulcate on each fide and the
bottom of the furrows glaucous. Segments: modifications of ©
lanceolate bilabiately arranged, the loweft dependent, all either

patent or recurved; when patent the uppermoft one points:
ftraight forward, when recurved that is only patent, thus ever

differing in dire@tion, all nearly the length of the faux.

Scentlefs, Flowers in February and March: (a) was found

at the Cape by Taunsexc on the fides of mountains, parti-

cularly on thofe of Leuweftaart, alfo near Conftantia, and in

fome other diftriéts, flowering in our fummer months. The

firft variety is become very common, and is one of the earlieft

blowers of its family. We fufpeé our prefent variety to have

been produced by feed in Holland, never having yet found it

in any herbarium or feen it produced from any bulb imme-

diately from the Cape. It is not improbable that the diminifhed —
ftature may be in fome way conneéted with the variegation of

the corolla, in the fame manner as tulips whilft they blow of

a plain colour have a very long fcape, which when, in the

language of florifts, the flower breaks, immediately lofes half
or two-thirds of its length. We have obferved the fame di-

minution of fize in feveral other inftances in this natural order
upon the flower becoming variegated. G, -

Herbarium find the fpecimen from which the defcription in —
Hort. Kew. was‘ taken by one of its learned compilers, Dr. —
So.anpDER ; perhaps this is only a lefs luxuriant variety of 3?

Tuunsereo’s [xtra /ancea, for which Jacquin miftook our
variety @, is a very-diflinét fpecies.. All thefe varieties are |
fcentlefs, and flower nearly at the fame time, viz. in April
They are united by many others, that approach more or lefs —

to one or other of thefe. . ,
This fpecies is very diflinét from its congeners, and alihough
_variable in fome of its proportions, colour, and degree of |
expanfion, adheres faithfully to all its fpecific diftinétions.
Thofe who cannot be reconciled to the propriety of our re-
ducing the above to mere varieties of the fame fpecies, and
choofe rather to. confider them as diftin&, may retain the
names allotted to them by the different authors.

Throughout this natural order, in which the different fpe-
cies and genera flide imperceptibly into one another, it is
often impoffible to mark the exaét limits of each, and the
means adopted by different authors will be found perpetually
inadequate to the tafk. Thus the relative proportions of the
tube to the fpathe, and of the border to the tube, though
fometimes material, often afford no ground whatever for {pe-
cific diftinétion, even differing in different years in the fame
plant: fometimes the further cohefion of the lower parts of —
the fegments, or of the claws, ftrangely alter the appearance |
of the flower though not the fpecies: in this manner GLa- _
pioLus birfatus obtains a long cylindric faux and rounded —
fhort fegments, their lower or narrower part being abforbed
in the faux, thus becoming Grapioxzus merianellus of authors.
So in our {pecies the tube and faux of a, @, and y, are gra-_
dually elongated till they become the length of the border
in 4, partly by the cohefion of the bafes of the fegments and
partly by the elongation of the tube. In the fame manner the
cartilaginous margin, fo frequent in the leaves of moft of the —
natural order, can be of {mall import for diftin@tion, as its
prefence or abfence often depend altogether upon the greater
or lefs vigour of the plant. :

_ Our plant differs in no refpe& from Irrs tricu/pis (already -
-publifhed by Mr. Curris, in this Work, No. 168, under the
name of Iris pavonia) except in-the pubefcence of leaf and
fiem and in colour. In making it a’ diftin& {pecies. on that
account, we follow by analogy the example of former Botanifts
in this natural order. It cannot be diftinguifhed from: the
teal Iris pavonia but when in flower, and them it is fufficiently
diftin@. Its.lower leaf, as well as thofe of Iris pavonia, tri-
Cufpis, vifcaria, bituminofa, papilionacea, triftis, &c. &c. ap-.
Pear to be radical and flat or fomewhat channelled, but when
€xamined, will be found to be cauline and fiftular, having fplit
from near the bafe where they are entire and round, to near |
the ei.d where they terminate, as fiftular ones ufually do, in a —
folid columnar. mucronate point ; the furfaces are of different
hues and frequently of different habits, as in our plant, where
the inner is quite {mooth, the outer pubefcent. Iris /ricu/pis
(as are alfo moft probably its kindred {fpecies above enumerated)

is remarkably prone to luxuriance, forming abortive petals, —
or fegments of petals within the claws of the larger fegments
of various forms, according to their greater or le{s perfe€tion, ©
and fuch have been miftaken by Tu unsere in IRts pavonia for
neéiaries; he defcribes them, “ xearia tria intra petala majora,

“ fngulum foliolum ovatum obtufum petaliforme ad bafin ;” thele
are fometimes prefent or not fo in the fame plant. To us it

appears impoffible to attribute to the union of the filaments,

either in this genus or Ixia, the importance ufually given it

by Linn «vs, without creating confufion and placing in diftin&

claffes, orders, and genera, fuch plants as are fcarcely fpeci-

fically, different; nor, on the other hand, are we able to lay

down any rule of exception by which fuch compliance with

the laws of his fyftem can be avoided, efpecially while Ga-

LAXIA, Ferraria, and SisyriNcHium, remain fo feparated

on that ground only. This union: of filaments varies exceed-.
ingly in both genera, fometimes not extending beyond the

bafe, fometimes to the middle, fometimes the whole length.

The fhape of the ftigma is alfo very fubje& to variation, that

of Iris pavonia is very diftin& from our fpecies, nor do. we.
think that Ferraria undulata can be feparated from the Cape

fpecies of Iris on that account only. Ds 1a Rocue had al-

ready formed a new genus from Iris fricu/pis, to which he.
gave the name of Virusseuxia, and if the Cape fpecies

(which form a very diftin& and natural fection, differing in

habit, as well as in not having their claws united in a tube,

but very flightly conneéted at their bafe only) fhould be

at any time detached and formed into a new genus, his

name fhould be retained, but his charafter muft be generalized ;

for, as it now ftands, it would: fcarcely admit any fpecies: but:
the one from which it is formed. Our drawing was taken at
Mefirs. Grimwoop and Wyxz’s, who received the bulb from:
the Cape, and with whom we believe it has now flowered for:

the firft. time in Europe. The fynonym of Tuunsere we

confider to be doubtful, only becaufe he does not notice its’
pubefcence, Its time of flowering is a little earlier than
that of Irts /ricu/pis, viz. in April. G, 3

The Epipenvrum cucullatum and fragrans have a very
confiderable refemblance in the form of the flower; but be-
fides that, the former wants the fragrant {mell of the latter, and
the difference in colour, there are feveral remarkable diftinc-
tions. In cochleatum, the petals are nearly fimilar, and all
refle&ted ; in fragrans, the petals are patent, and the two inte-
rior ones are much broader and fomewhat fhorter than the
three exterior, and the lip of the ne€tary is more accuminate.
Both are natives of Jamaica, and in this country mutft be con-_
ftant inhabitants of the ftove.

‘ence

Dr, Dryanper, by a manufcript note in the Hort. Kew.
of the Bankfian library, has moft diftinétly fettled the dif-
ference between the Ix1a rofea of the Cape (publifhed already
in this work, No. 265, by Mr. Curtis, under the name of
Ix1a Bulbocodium) and the real Ix1a Bulbocodium, an Euro-
pean {pecies, To the firft our plant approaches very clofely, -
but we follow Jacquin in making it a diftin& fpecies, as
we believe it to be; befides fome difference in the form of the

leaves and fem, the fpathe of this is more a
¥ mace : 24

the ftigmas nearly the lehgth or fhorter than the anthers, not.
longer, as in rofec. Atraniverfe fettion of the leaf of ] acguin’s
{pecimen, a‘much ftronger plant than ours, affords the cruciate
form from which he derives the fpecific name. We are per-
fuaded that Linn Bus adopted the name of rofea from one of the .
figures in Mixter’s plates, where three fpecimens are given, —
two coloured blue or purple and one pink or rofe, though
the fpecies is defcribed as light purple in the letter-prefs and
no mention made of the rofe-coloured variety. The above in.
accurate plate with Miier’s defcription, was moft probably
all that Linnaus had for a guide, hence his unfatisfattory
-defcription and the confufion it has fince produced. JacQuiN
is incorre&t in defcribing the corolla as hexapetalous, as it has
a fhort tube; he might with propriety have -called it hexape-—
taloid. Our_generic name is from Seif pilus and yyy filum, the
filaments being hairy. Its fpecies, already defcribed or figured,
are Ix1a Bulbocodium, Linn, Syjt. 83. xia rofea, Linn, Syf

More dre known to us, but we fhall referve them for further
examination from living fpecimens. Dr. Dayanper is per-
fuaded that there are feveral fpecies even in Europe. €
genus feems to be intermediate between Crocus and Ixta,
perhaps the link that joins them; when we have laid a Jarger
portion of this tribe before the public, we fhall then attempt
to fhew the mutual conneétion of the genera that compole it,
ae fome further obfervations on them. | This fpecies flowers
aoout May. Our drawing was taken from the rich colleétion
at GEORGE Hissert’s, Efq. Clapham, who received it by
his colle&tor from the Cape; it flowered alfo this year at
Mr. Corvinre’s, who had it from Holland, under the name
of an Amaryllis. Found by Tuunserc, in various, parts
round Cape-Town, flowering in our fummer months. G.

what are now seemed diftin&t fpecies; we have only referved
fuch as appear to us really to belong to this fpecies, and fhall
apply the others .as .we publifh the , ‘plants for which we con-
ceive they were intended. MILLER’s plant, figured in the
155th plate, ufually quotéd as a: fynonym to this, is we believe
the Grapioxus firidius of Hort. Kew. The whole plant, ex-
cept the corolla, is pubéfcent and very tender, from fix inches
to a foot high. Flowers emit a pleafing caryophyllaceous fra-
grance, Cultivated, according to the Bankfian Herbarium, at
Kew-Gardens in 4798. We venture to prediét that this genus
— will turn out one of the moft numerous of the whole natural
order. For the derivation of the generic name, and an enumera-
-tion of fuch. {pecies as are as yet defcribed, revert to Ixta

twice the fize of thofe when the ufual number is produced. In
all the Cape fpecies of Frxranra and Its, as yet known to
us, the flower, after the parts of fru€tification have completed
their operations, forms itfelf into =e of get oa ee
rolling inwards previous to its final decay; whereas, in Mo-
REA nd Eee. the genera neareft to this, the flowers
commence their decay by twifting the fegments fpirally sree
akind of column. Our fpecies was found at the Cape, by
Tu UNBERG, below the Duyvelfberg near the town. It feeds

freely, and produces plenty of offsets. : The drawi Bo “ag |

troduced amongft us by the way of Holland; Mr. Hizssert’s
{fpecimen, figured in the Botanift’s Repofitory, came imme-
diately from the Cape.
While “ Jaciniis alternis reflexis’ remains a part of the
effential charaéter of Iris, nearly all the Cape {pecies ought in
ftri€tnefs to be excluded, and this we imagine has been the caufe
that fome of them have been transferred to Morea, with which
they agree, in having “ pefala tria interiora patentia, an-
- guftiora,’ but differ, according to us, from true Moras, in
having petal-fhaped ftigmas and upright claws or bafes to their
fegments or petals. If therefore thefe are to be retained
under Iris, the effential chara€ter muft be altered; but
it appears to us more convenient that they fhould be formed
into another genus, diftinguifhed from Iris: in not having the
claws or bafes of the fegments united into a tube, but in ha-
ving them nearly upright and parted, G,

gracilis in corolla, but differs effentially in the leaf, as may

Raifed by Mirter from Cape feeds; flowered in the |
Chelfea garden before the year 1760. Introduced into Kew —

of carinatus, from the appearance of the midrib of its leaves. —
Mi cer’s figure is, we believe, erroneous in reprefenting it as

White-Knights, near Reading, and was raifed there from
Cape feeds, fent. by Lord Macartney. Introduced to the
Kew garden, by Mr. Masson, ten years before. It is of the
tenderer kind, and, like other tuberous rooted fpecies, is 1™-
patient of water, and not eafily propagated, except by feeds,
which it rarely or never produces with us. In ftrong plants

The prefent fpecies, although too clofely allied to Tri-

Tonta (Ixia) crocata, No. 184, differs in having outer
leaves

i ®

leaves rather more blunt and falcate, corolla fmaller and
lefs patent, veins more prominent, laminas narrower, more
rounded, often retufeand incurved, ‘claws lefs hyaline; be-
fides in fmelling very fweet, whereas crocata is perfe€tly {cent-
lefs. In the Hort. Kew. the Trrtonta (Gladiolus) /ineata,
Bot. Mag. No, 487, is made a variety of this; but upon what
foundation we know not, as befides the numerous differences
above ground the habits of the bulbs are very diftinét; in Tai-
Tonta lineata, though it becomes effete, the bulb does not
entirely perifh till the fecond year after flowéring, while in our
‘plant it completely difappears before the feed is ripe. Dez La
Rocue, in his Defer. nov. plant m. 19. p. 24. in a note on
Trironia crocata, his Ix1a_ iridifolia, declares himfelf at 2
lofs whether to allot it to Ix1a or Giapro.us, notices
the declined pofition of the parts of fru€tification and the cur-
vature of the ftamens, which he deferibes by the word jig-
moidea (figmatike).- We have founded the genus on the fol-

however by no means convinced that the Apocine& Fuff.
to which order Stapelia belongs, fhould be referred to the clafs

Root bulbous, Stem about a foot high, wiry, feared
with a coat of yellowifh brown gluten of a very tenacious qu@
lity, enfnaring all fmaller infeé&ts that happen to touch, its.
culmaceous, each joint embraced by an involucre, from whic

the ftem nearly its whole length. Stem from a foot to two
feet high, ftri&, round, fomewhat comprefled downwards,

fimple, or with two or three fhori patent branehes. Spike
fomewhat {cattered, with from five to nine flowers. Nearly
allied to Ix1a patens and flexuofa, but a far more robuft plant ;
fegments quite flat, rotate, and blunter ; fpathe more dentate,
lefs membranous, and the parts of fru@tification more erect _
and colle&ed. Scentlefs. Flowers in May. The fpecific
name was undoubtedly fuggefted to Tuunserc by the fpathes,
which however he defcribes as “ ariffato-dentate ;” and we
guefs that the inappropriate application of the word “ arijlata”
Was in fome meafure the caufe of the miftake in Hort. Kew.
where Sparaxis grandifiora (Ix1a grandiflora, Bot. Mag. —

No, 541, and Ix1a éulbifera, var. purpurea, Thunb.) is re

for the prefent {pecies. When a weakly plant, it bears a
ftrong prima facie reflemblance to Ixia capillaris, var. y. but
differs in the fpathe and tube. ;

In the Bankfian Herbarium we find a Cape fpecimen of this
plant, marked Ix1a pafens, placed as a fynonym by the fide of ©
the one from Kew Gardens, from which the defcription of that
fpecies was taken by Dr. Soranper. In fatt, the feveral
intermediate varieties we have feen, lead us to fufpe&, that
Ixta patens, flexuofa, and ariflata, can {carcely be retained as
diftinét {pecies.

Our drawing was taken at the nurfery of Meffrs, Grim-_
woop and Wykgs, Kenfington. 7

Found by Tuunserg, at the Cape, growing in moift fandy
places. Is very impatient of drought, and fhould be fet ina
pan of water when near flowering. Varies with white, pale
pink, and purple-rofe-coloured flowers. ey

~ The Ixra Jeucantha of Jacquin is avariety of Ix1a patens,
agreeing with that in proportion of the limb to. the tube, but
approaching this in fize and robuftnefs of growth. G. ©

- When we obferved in No. 577, that the corolla of Mor#a
decayed by twifting itfelf {pirally into a column, we then intended

thas

labia

a

that name for another genus, and to have adopted that of

Vieusseuxta for this, fo that the remark is now inappro-
priate to Morea; a genus fo named by Mi cer from his
friend Ropert More, Efg. whom he ftates to be learned in
various branches of natural hiflory, and particularly in that of
botany*; the {pecies on which he founded it was Mor #a vegeta.
Thofe that have regulated us in the prefent effential character
are Ints ciliata, minuta, tripetala, fpaibacea, ramofa? angnfa,
fetacea, pavonia, crifpa, tricufpis, (Bot. Mag. No. 168.) villofa,
(Bot. Mag. No. 571.) uaguiculata, papilionacea, edulis, triftis,
(Bot. Mag. No. §77:) polyfachia? vifearta, (Bot. Mag. No.
587.) Jituminofa. Monza funcea, vegeta, (iriopetale Willde-
novil varietates) collina et elegans (Hort. Schoenb.)

Our prefent plant, fo nearly allied to tricu/pis and villofa,
differs from both, in not being bearded and in having its
claws much narrower and equal to the lamine of the largeft
fegments, and from the latter, moreover, in not having a pu- ©
befcent leaf and ftem.

Introduced from the Cape by Mr. Alderman Hissert, at
whofe garden our drawing was taken, and where alone, we
believe, it is at prefent to.be found. Flowers in May. Pro-
pagates in the manner of Mor #a_villo/a. pee

“This genus is certainly one of the moft elegant divifions of
the whole natural order, but from the extreme delicacy of the
corollas of its fpecies ill calculated for the Herbarium, in which
fcarcely any thing but the leaf and ftem can be recognized,

hence good figures from living {pecimens become the more
defirable. G. 3 oo oo

* Profeffor THunsere, in his Differtation on Morz#a, mentions the name
as given by Lrnnwus in honour of Jowannes Moravus, M.D. at Fablun;
but this moft be a miftake, Linn.eus having avowedly adupted the genus on -

Capparis and Crateva are fo nearly related, that it is not
eafy to find charaéters which’ will always diftinguifh them. —
Even in the artificial fyftem, they ought not to have been fe-_
parated into different claffes, moft of the f{pecies being pol
androus. Perhaps the only diftin@ion in the parts of tua |
fication is, that in Crateva the ftamens are attached to the
column fupporting the germ, whereas in Capparis they are
attached to the edge of the receptacle. A flight difference,
as the column itfelf is an elongation of the centre of the
receptacle. In the habit of the plants there is this effential
diftinétion, that in every fpecies of Capparis the leaves are
fimple, in Cratzva ternate. -

The Crarava fragrans has feveral Liabieg free xd :
ing 10—20 feet, with a multitude of branches. Leaves alter-—
nate, petioled, trifoliate; leaflets ovate, entire, fhining, —
fhortly petioled. The flowers grow in bunches on me Z
peduncles from the extremities of the branches, nodding whilft —
in bud.. Calyx confilts of four ovate-acuminate, ape .

equal leaves, deciduous. Petals four, very narrow, longs |
clawed, limb undulated and convolute towards the bafe, re-—

gularly patent. Stamens many, longer than calyx, fhorter

than petals, attached to the receptacular column near its bafe, —
incurved. Proper ftyle.o. Sugma annular. Germen fup- —

ported upon a receptacular column, longer than the ftamens, —

one-celled? containing many feeds: Fruit has never yet —
ripened with us. The flowers are of fhort duration, but come _
in fucceffion for fome weeks, very fragrant, approaching in ~

fmell to the fruit of the pine-apple (BRoMELIA amanas).

Firft difcovered in Africa, by our particular friend, Dr. —
Avam Arzetius, Botanical Demonftrator to the Univerfity —
of Upfal, who never met with it but twice, once in the Ifland —
of Bananas, in April, when it was in full flower, and afterwards —

at Sierra-Leone, near Free-Town, towards the mountains, —
in January, when the feeds were ripe. In both places it~

grew near water on rifing and rocky ground, covering the —

rocks for a confiderable extent with its widely-fpreading ftems —
and twining branches. He gave the feeds to T. Evans, Efq. —
Stepney, to whofe liberality every poffeffor of this valuable —
acquifition to the ftove is indebted. Is propagated ealily by —
cuttings, but to thrive well requires more room for its roots —

than a pot.

.

It is at the defire of Dr. Arzetius that we have given it

the fpecific name of fragrans, that of capparoides, equally ap-
plicable to other fpecies of Cratava, though haftily given by
him to Mr. Evans, as fomething to remember it by, being
never intended for publication.

Our drawing was taken at the garden of Epwarn Woods
