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

Differs from paniculatum in being generally a far taller and

binately contra€ted corolla, the outer fegments of which are —

more than half the length of the corolla, and not narrow tUf- —
binate with an apex broadly depreffed ; by ftamens that do not —
at all overtop the fegments, as well as by a ftyle that is never —
equal to the germen in length; from flavum (fee above, No. 1330)
in colour of the flowers, the fegments of which are not ovate
as in that fpecies, where the ftamens are befides nearly twice
the length of the corolla. ‘The item in our prefent plant was
nearly three feet high. We omitted Brotero’s pallens, as he
defcribes the fpathe but little*longer than the umbel ; alfo
that of Repours, as being certainly diftin@& from our plant,
and nearer to what we confider_as paniculatum, which will be
publifhed in the fucceeding Fafciculus. We fhould have
deemed the {pecies a mere variety of carinatum ; but find that
it has been reckoned diftin@, not having bulbs intermixed with
the umbels; a circumftance that we are perfuaded is very
unftable, even in this genus. We have omitted the ufually
recurring fynonym from Harxer, as belonging to flavum;
and have fubflitated another to the ftanding one from
Bavuin, which pointed to a plant “ flore odoro.” Native
of the South of France, Piedmont, and the Coaft of Barbary.
Monf. Lorsereur DisLonecuamps Speaks of it as being |
rarely found in the country about Paris. Introduced in 177
by the Abbé Pourrer.

The dwarf Peony differs from P. peregrina, No. 1050,
chiefly in having its leaves more finely divided, glaucous
above, and clothed with a foft pubefcence underneath ; its
leaflets are more acute and more incifed; the germens are
nearly {mooth, having only a few thinly fcattered fhort hairs,
whereas in peregrina they are quite woolly.
This fpecies feems to have been well known to the older
Botanifts, but was never correétly defcribed till taken up by
Retzius. With his ample defcription our plant correfponds
in every refpe&t, except that, in his fpecific charaéter, he has
capfulis pilofis ; in his full defcription, however, he fays the
wo capfules are but flightly hairy ( parum pilofe). ‘
-_ Suppofed to be a native of Spain, and is perfeéily hardy.

We are informed by Mr. Ropert Brown, that this fhrub
is a native of the Ifland of Luconia, in the vicinity of Manila,
from whence it was introduced to the Kew Garden by Mr,
Wititam Kerr. Justicia 4dicolor does not feem to have

Lamarcx and Vaunu appears to approach the neareft to it, ©
but the leaves of this are defcribed as obtufe and only an inch

Propagated by cuttings. In the bark-ftove it bloffoms the
greateit part of the fummer. Our drawing was taken from
a.fine plant in the poffeffion of Meflrs. Wuirtey, Brame,

Since the above article was fent to the prefs, we find that a
figure of this plant is juft publifhed in the Botanift’s Repofitory.
In the account there given, it is ftated that Mr. Mriwe raifed
it at Font-Hill, from Weft-Indian feeds. But having been
kindly fhewn the fpecimen fent by Mr. Kerr, from the Phi-
lippine Iflands, we are certain that the habitat above given is
the true one, It is moft probable, therefore, that Mr. ANn-

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

Pentsremon /evigato was cultivated in Dr. Fotuerciiy’s
garden at Upton, in 1776; but has probably been long loft to
our gardens, till it was lately again introduced by Meffrs.
F Raser. At leaft, we have ufually feen the narrow-leaved
variety of pubefcens palling under the name of this in our
Coe Befides —
Refides the differences mentioned in the laft article, we may
mention that the lower lip of the corolla in this plant is more
rolled back, the upper lip lefs fo, and the mouth gaping, which
in pubcfcens is nearly clofed. :
Native of North-America, from Penfylvania to Carolina.
Is rather more tender than puéefcens, but fufficiently hardy to
bear our milder winters. Both thefe plants are confidered as
perennials, and, with proper management, may be fo; but as
the root ufually perifhes after the feeds are matured, they are
perhaps more properly biennials.

very rare and curious plant, flowering probably for the firft time
a Europe, in the ftove of James Vers, Efq. at Kenfington-
ore. }
Dr. Roxsurcs, in his valuable account on the Scira-
MINE, natives of the Eaft-Indies, publifhed in the eleventh
volume of the Afiatic Refearches, informs us that the root of
this plant appeared both to Sir Joserpu Banxsand Dr, Comse
to be the Cafmunar of the fhops; a root introduced into this
country by Martog, as a medicine of uncommon efficacy in
hyfteric, epileptic, paralytic, and other nervous diforders,
Dr. Lewis obferves that, from its fenfible qualities, it
feems to deferve to have been more generally ufed, being “ an
elegant, mild aromatic, moderately warm, lightly ees a z
Pg ' Imel
fmell fomewhat refembling Ginger.” Its {pirituous extra&, he
fays, “ fmells very agreeably, and impreffes on the organs of
talte a grateful bitterifhnefs, and a durable glowing warmth,
not a fiery or pungent heat.” Notwithflanding thefe recom-
and is no longer to be met with in our fhops.
Native of the Eaft-Indies. With us an inhabitant of the
bark-ftove. Propagated by cuttings of the root. Introduced
by Dr. Roxburgh.

Desc. Stem dichotomoufly branched, rounded, ftriate hol-
low. Radical leaves (according to Delaroche) ovate, or ovate
lanceolate, with margins either entire, more or lefs incifed, or
dentate-finuate, on footftalks which are fiftular, having the cavity
frequently intercepted by tranfyerfe partitions. Cauline leaves
ftem-embracing, palmate, lower ones cut into feveral fegments,
upper ones trifurcate or fometimes quite fimple, ftrongly nerved
underneath, {pinous. Heads of flowers nearly globofe, on peduncles
either terminal, or growing from the divifions of the branches.
Involucre of fix rigid, fubulate, channelled leaflets, fomewhat
unequal and terminated with a fpine. From the very centre of
the head grows a rigid {word-fhaped leaflet twice the length of the
head, like thofe of the involucre, but broader and rather longer.
€ are fometimes two (according to Delaroche feveral)
fhorter leaflets inftead of the long one; and now and then, though
: rarely,
rarely, the heads are quite deftitute of this horn. Calyx green
five-cleft: J/eaflets ovate, concave, mucronate. Peials blue,
fmall, concave. S/amens and fiyles longer than the corolla,
Germens hifpid or fealy. Receptacle conical. -Chaff {pathular-
fhaped, mucronate.
Our plant, which was fent us by Mr. Donn, curator of the
Botanic Garden at Cambridge, having no radical leaves, we have
trufted to Delaroche and Brotero for the defcription of them.
The figure and excellent,account given by Delaroche leaves
no room to doubt but that his plant is the fame with ours. And
as this author probably had an opportunity of examining Tour-
nefort’s fpecimen, we muft {uppofe that he could hardly be wrong
in quoting that fynonym alfo. The fame obfervation will apply
to Lamarck; otherwile his defcription would not readily lead us
to conclude that his plant was the fame; for he makes no mention
of the remarkable roftrum terminating the capitula, but attributes
the name to the inequality of the involucre, two or three of the
Jeaflets of which he deferibes as being fo much longer than the
reft as to give the appearance of horns. The fynonym from
Morison would feem ftill more dubious, as he defcribes the
heads of flowers:to, be feffile; and that of Ray is only a copy of
this laft. Detarocue has alfo quoted E. fuaveolens of Broul-
fonet as a fynonym ; but we obferved no fragrance in the flowers,
and the {mell of the bruifed plant was to us particularly ungrate-
ful. Thefe feeming contradittions are however in great meafure
reconciled by Brorero, who obferves that this plant. varies
extremely according to the foil; that in very dry places the
involucre becomes very fmall; the heads of flowers nearly or
quite feffile, and lemon-fcented; the chaff fubtrifid and much
longer than the calyxes, This author therefore concludes that
E. corniculatum, - and odoraium of Lamaxcx are meré
varieties of the fame plant. .
_ This {pecies is not taken up in the new edition of Hortus
Kewenfis, though introduced into the country according to
Mr. Dow in 1803. |

This appears to us to be an undefcribed {pecies of Gropsa
in the form. of the flower very nearly refembling GrosBa
orixenfis of Dr. Roxpurcnu, defcribed and figured in his
paper on the Scitaminez, publifhed in the eleventh volume of
the Afiatic Refearches; from which however it fufficiently
differs, in its feflile flowers growing in an interrupted {pike
and in the greater length of the lateral Jacinia of the corolla,
which in orixenfis are fhorter than the reft; and in many
other refpeéts. It may be the du/bifera of this author, but we
have not fufficient data to determine it to be the fame. It
certainly bears bulbs in the axils of the leaves and of the lower
braétezx.
By comparing our prefent figure with.that of Mantista
Jaltatoria (No. 1320) the generic differences of the two plants
will be fufficiently evident: not only in the inflorefcence,
which in the one is radical, in the other cauline, but in the
form and number of the lacinie of the corolla; in the re-
markable filiform appendages at the bafe of the filament in
Manrtisia, which are totally wanting in Grosga, and 7 the
orm
form of the ne€tarium, bifid at the lower extremity only in the
former, and not at both as in the latter.
Our drawing of this very rare plant was made at Mr. Vert’s,

the leaves in Lamarck’s figure being pinnatifid, not pinnate,

We have purpofely omitted in the fynonymy moft of the
more recent European Floras, from a fufpicion that the pani-
culatum they have in view is o/eraceum occurring with a capflu-
liferous umbel.. The fpecies cited from Hatuer’s treatifes
was conftituted and delineated from a Siberian plant only ;
although he fubfequently, but as we apprehend erroncoufly,
adduced it for a fynonym to a fpecies he found in Switzerland,
which he obferves is fometimes bulbiferous. From bis clear
and copious account, we are certain that his original {pecies is
the fame With our own; and Linn 2us judges it to be alfo his
Paniculatum. tis very probable that our prefent plant may
be the pallens of fome of the authors cited to that we have
given in No, 1420; which is after all a mere capfuliferous
variety of carinatum. To moft of the Floras, we are perfuaded
oleraceum and carinatum as they occurred with a capfuli-
ferous or with a bulbiferous inflorefcence, have, when in the
firft mentioned fate, furnifhed likewife paniculatum and pallens.
We have already, in No. 1420, ftated the diftinétions between
our prefent fpecies, pallens and flavum. From oleraceum it
differs, by having the filaments fhortly connate at their bale
among themfelves, and with the corolla. Jacguin’s {pecimen
of paniculatum from Auftria, in the Bankfian Herbarium, has
a bulbiferous umbel and is oleraceum. The bloom of the
prefent plant had a flight degree of fragrance, was white with
a flight fuffufion of purple or rofe-colour, and marked with green
down the backs of the fegments. It is evidently the paniculatum
of Bizserstein, according to his own fpecimens. Our
drawing was made from a plant that flowered this fummer in
Mr. Hawortn’s colle@ion, and had been received from the
Cambridge Botanic Garden, where it was fuppofed to have
come originally from Siberia. Native of the Crimea, and
probably of various parts of the South of Europe. We believe
it to be the pallens of Renoure; but are certain it is not his
paniculatum, which we take to be a capfuliferous oleraceum. G-

that are confiderably longer than the corolla, which is alfo
blue infead of purple. Found on the decayed parts of the
trunks of old trees, and moift fituations in the Malabar country
and the Ifland of Ceylon. Introduced in 1770 by Monfieut -
Ricuarp. Mr. Brown thinks that this, with fome others,
fhould be generically feparated from Trapuscanria; bis

This fucculent fhrub, native of Sierra Leone, whence
it was introduced by our friend Profeflor Apam Arzetius,
and, under the fuppofition of its being an undefcribed genus,
was named by Mr. Anprews in honour of James Vere, Efq.
a great encourager of botanical {cience. But if it can be pro-
perly feparated from Corytepon, being undoubtedly a con-
gener of Coryiepon /aciniata, of which Apanson, in his
Familles des Plantes, long ago conftituted a genus, it muft
take his name of Karancnéz. Decanpotte, a French
botanift, and Persoon, have adopted this divifion; but
M. Ventenat has followed Linnaus, who confidered his
Cotyievon Jaciniata as belonging to the genus, though cur-
tailed of one-fifth in the number of all the parts of fru€tification.
a
ee
It is not improbable, however, that had he known there were
half a dozen fpecies in the fame predicament, he would have
himfelf made a feparation, fo congenial with his claffification.
In the new edition of the Hortus Kewenfis, both this plant
and Bryopuytium of Sarispury, No. 1409 of this work,
are retained with Coryitepon ; Bryopuy.ttium is, however,
in our opinion, very diftinét, not only in the number of the
parts of fruétification, but likewife in the form of the corolla,
the relative proportion of the calyx and it, and efpecially in
having the ftamens arranged in one rank,
The original imported plant bore leaves many times the fize
of thofe in our figure, and more irregularly fcolloped, but
fucceeding ones have not attained to the fame vigorous growth.
Our drawing was made at the late Right Honourable Mr.
Grevitte’s, at Paddington. Propagated by cuttings. Re-
guires to be kept in the dry ftove, or in an airy part of the

The orchidee in general are rather difficult to cultivate, but
the parafitical ones in particular were long thought beyond
_ the power of art to bring to any tolerable degree of perfeétion
in our northern climate. Of late years however, by planting
them in a mold compofed chiefly of decayed wood, and cover-
ing the furface with large pieces of bark; fome cultivators
have fucceeded to admiration with many of them. “
The Cymsipium coccineum has been feen here in flower
before, but perhaps never in the fame perfe€ion as in the
bark ftove of Mefirs. Loppices, at Hackney, in June lait,
from whence our drawing was made. —
| When
When the flowers firft come, they appear to grow from the
bofom of the radical leaves, but, as the ftalk lengthens, frefh
flowers are produced from the axils of the cauline leaves, as
is defcribed by Jacquin. A kind of thickening of the foot-
ftalk, fo as to form what are called bulbs, of an oval com-
prefied form, terminated with one or more leaves, is very
common in this genus, and occurs in this {pecies alfo, though
there were none to be obferved in the fpecimen from which
our drawing was made. By thefe knots or bulbs the plants
may be propagated. They probably ferve as refervoirs of the
juices, neceffary to preferve the life of the vegetable, during
the dry feafon.
Native of the Ifland of Martinique, growing in moift
woods, efpecially on the banks of the torrents,

Weare indebted to Meffrs. Matcorm and Sweet, Nurfery-

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

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

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

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

ing was made, by our friend Joun Wacker, Efq. of Arno’s-
Grove, Southgate.

This curious plant is a native of the Eaft-Indies, and has
been cultivated in China, according to the pretenfions of the
Chinefe writers, more than a thoufand years before the com-
mencement of the Chriftian era. The feeds which are involved
in an infipid pulp, fuppofed to be of a cooling quality, are
farinaceous, and confidered as a wholfome food.
The leaves, which float upon the furface of the water,
fometimes exceed three feet in diameter, and are covered on
both fides with fharp curved fpines. The under furface is of
a deep bluifh purple colour, curioufly fupported by fpongy
ribs, which rifing from the centre of the leaf, where the petiole
Is inferted, are dichotomoufly branched over the whole.
Thefe ribs have confiderably more perpendicular thicknefs
than width, like the rafters of a houfe, and are covered with
fpines at firft foft but becoming hard with age. The leaf, while
m bud, is curioufly folded up, and enclofed in aninvolucre,
which burfts as the leaf expands, fe.
Introduced
Introduced by the Marquis of BLanprorp, in180g. Our
drawing was taken at Jemes'VeRrz’s, Efg. Kenfington-Gore,
in Auguft laft, where it was cultivated with other tropical aqua-
tics ina ciftern, placed on a hot-bed, and covered with a melon-
frame.’ Under this treatment the feeds’ were’ perfefted, by
which the plant is readily propagated. And as it is cultivated
in the Jakes and pools at Pekin, though not to the fame per-
fe&tion as in the fouthern provinces, there is fome reafon to
hope it may be found not to ftand in need of artificial heat.
The name of Euryace was firft given to this plant by R. Sa-
LisBury, Efq. in the Annals of Botany; and five years
afterwards, inadvertently, that of ANNeszea in the Botanift’s
Repofitory.

The flowers of this fpecies are with us nearfy white, and,
€xcept that they acquire fomewhat of a red colour as they die,
have none of the purple tinge of proffrata. The colour may
Owever be variable. Our prefent plant bears its flowers more
{cattered, the peduncles being longer, lefs divided, and thofe at
the divifions of the ftem quite fimple, Perhaps the moft decifive
: character
charafier to diftinguifh repens from profrata is, that in the
former the calycine leaflets are more fharply keeled, and
have white margins ; in the latter the leaflets are more ob-
tufely rounded and of a uniform colour. The two fpecies
appear however to have been fo confounded together, that
the fynonymy is not eafily extricable.
Communicated by Meffrs. Matcotm & Sweet, Stock-
well-Common. A hardy perennial. Flowers all the fummer.
Native of the Alps, the Pyrenees, and the mountains of Auftria,
growing out of fiffures in the rocks, and among the gravel in
the torrent beds. Propagated by parting its roots or by feeds.

There are feveral ‘points of agreement between this fpecies
annua (vide fupra No. 1022); but our plant differs in the
greater
greater lengthening of the {pike, in having a fhrubby, rounded,
not annual and {quare ftem, as well as leaves ternate, or fome-
times, though rarely, quaternate, The fruit of Lantana
trifolia is more pulpy than in any other of the genus, and
being of an agreeable flavour, is, as we are informed by Sir
Hans Sroang,. greedily fought after by the children in
Jamaica. :
Reicuarp imagined the plant defcribed by Menicus as
L. ¢rifolia, really belonged to annua, becaufe of the flefh-
coloured corollas with yellow throat, not changeable ; but as
thefe circumftances are common to both fpecies, we fee no
reafon to doubt that the plant, of which he has given an account,
is the fame with ours, except that he defcribes the ftems as being
{quare. His plant the firft year grew with two oppofite leaves,
but in the fecond year the leaves were alt ternate.
« Native of the mountains in the Weft-Indies.. Requires
the heat of the ftove, but in warm weather fhould be removed
into the greenhoufe or be allowed plenty of air, in. which
fituation it will ripen its fruit and continue flowering at the
extremity of the fptke at the fame time.

do not cohere at all beyond their bafe, but converge in fuch

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

In the Enumeration of the plants contained in the firft twenty
volumes of this work, publifhed with the general indexes, we
acknowledged the receipt of a letter from Mr. JonaTHaN
Wixson, of Congleton, in which the writer ftates that our
figure of Sempervivum globiferum, No. 507, does not belong
to the Senum majus globulis decidentibus of Morison ; which
obfervation we found to be quite correct. The faét is, that
Linn«vus confounded two diftin® {pecies under the name of
lobiferum, which miftake has been continued by moft or all
Botanifts fince; although the one has almoft conftantly fix,
the other twelve petals, with double the number of filaments,
and both are in almoft every other refpeét unlike, aie
a.
The Hen and Chicken is fo called from the numerous glo-
bular offsets which come out on flender threads from every
part of the mother plant, and falling off, take root and become
fo many diftin& plants. The increafe is fo great in this way,
that the propagation by feeds becomes unneceffary, and there-
fore the plant may be kept for many years together without
fhewing any difpofition to throw up flowering ftems; but if
the young offspring are conftantly taken off, and only one, or
at moft two or three of the rofettes, conneéted by larger
runners, are fuffered to remain, the plant will generally flower
in the courfe of the following fummer. :
The {pecies moft nearly allied to, and perhaps hardly fufficiently
diftin&t from this, is the hirtum; Sempervivum petals fim-
briatis Jebole patula, of ScumMipeL. Sempervivum /obolt-
Serum is much more common with us than glodiferum, and the
ate cultivated by Miuter, in 1773, probably belongs to the
rmer,

The genus Pimerea is a very extenfive one; Brown’s
Prodromus containing no fewer than thirty-four fpecies ; only
two of which are as yet to be met with in our gardens,
In fome, the leaflets of the involucrum are but little different
from the other leaves, and in many fpecies the tube of the
corolla is jointed, in which cafe the lowermoft portion is _
perfiftent. In the prefent fubje& the tube has no joint, but
the lower half of it is covered with long hairs, while the upper
half and the limb is naked or only clothed with a fhort down.
hie ELEA linifolia (No. 891) the limb of the corolla only
1s hairy.
The Pime ea 7ofea is a native of the fouthern parts of
New-Holland, and has been cultivatéd, for fome years paft,
in the royal garden at Kew, though not inferted in the new
edition of the Hortus Kewenfis. It is a very defirable green-
e plant; flowering great part of the year, and propagated
by cuttings. Received from Meffrs, Matcoim and Sweet's —

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

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

The Prrrer-roor grows fpontaneoully in Canada, in the
Penfylvanian mountains, in the extenfive forefts of Tenaflée,
and in the loftieft mountains of Carolina. The inhabitants of
thefe countries dry the root and ufe it as a condiment with their
food, inftead of muftard or pepper, whence its Anglo-American
name.
As our plant produced only one cauline leaf, and the flowers
poffeffed very little inclination to a yellow colour, we at
hefitated to pronounce it to be the fame with Mrcuaux’s. But
upon fhewing our drawing to Mr. Freperick PUuRSH,
immediately recognized it for DenTARra diphylla or Peppet-

Caucafus, at the fame time with thofe of Puyrzuma campanu- —

from that in having its radical leaves cordate, and cauline ones

PANCRATIUM CARIBZUM. No. 826.
In the fecond edition of the Hortus Kewenfis, the above
fpecific title is laid up in a kind of abeyance, the right to it
being declared to reft between Mr. Sarispury’s /ragrans
Speciofum and amenum. Whether our plant is the fragrans of that
gentleman, as we have prefumed in the above-quoted article,
or not, we fhall not pretend to decide. But we can have no
reafon to doubt its being the fpecies reprefented in the two
engravings quoted by Linn aus, as the fynonyms of his cari-
beum ; to which Brown and Stoane, for any thing they con-
tain beyond the habitat, muft have been quoted nearly at
random. It has moreover the traditionary proof of having been
known by that name in all our gardens from the days of its firlt
inftitution as a Linnean fpecies to the prefent. The following
fynonyms may be added to thofe already to be found in the
Number above cited, where the obfervation fubjoined to the
fynonymy fhould be expunged.

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

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

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

larger than the others, and grow four clofe together. After
flowering, thefe leaves increafe very much in fize, and are more
expanded. Above the leaves the peduncle is naked, except
one or two minute fcales. Flowers grow in a globular umbel
compofed of feveral fmaller ones. Calyx five-cleft: divifions
ovate, acute, red. Petals 5, lanceolate, acute, white, red at
the tip on the outfide, patent, not conniving in a tube, twice the
length of the calyx. Stamens 5: filaments the length of the
petals, and alternating with them: anthers roundifh, reddifh-
Purple. Germens 5, white: flyle ere€t: fligma acute. A {mall
white /cale is inferted on the outfide at the bafe of each germen.
The number of the fegments of the calyx of the petals, seer
7 an

but we have not obferved feven. The whole plant is quite
fmooth. .
From the above defcription, it will be feen that this fpecies
can hardly be diftinguifhed by any permanent charafters from
Crassuta. Yet, except in the number of its parts, and in
having the four leaves raifed fome diftance from the ground,
with {maller ones below, and a compound inftead of a fimple —
umbel, it correfponds fo exattly with Sepras capenfis, under
which name indeed we received it, that we cannot but confider
it as a fpecies of the fame genus. Perhaps we ought rather to
have added both it and Sepras capenfis to Crassura; the
difference in habit, however, added to the already overgrown
fize of that genus, induces us rather to preferve the genus
Sepras: but we think that it ought to be removed to the fifth
clafs. The feptenary number appears to be hardly natural in
any plants, and the whole clafs Heptandria might very well be
difpenfed with.
"We were favoured with this hitherto undefcribed plant by
Mr. Knicut, at the Exotic Nurfery, in the King’s-Road,
Chelfea, who raifed it from feeds received from the Cape of
Good-Hope. Flowers in September. Requires the fame
treatment as other Cape fucculent plants.

We doubt whether this plant be not a variety of Bzcontra
grandis; it fo much refembles Kamprer’s figure, that we can
{carcely find any other difference than that of the leaves being
lefs angulated, and the female flowers more cernuous. In
both, thefe flowers are, contrary to moft of the fpecies,
four-petaled and fimilar to the male, the ftamens are mon-
adelphous, the alz of the capfules nearly equal, and the upper
furface of the leaves are covered with minute fpinules. But
HUNBERG, in his defcription of the fame plant, under the
name of obliqua, exprefsly fays, the leaves are pale on = te
furface; while in our plant the older leaves are on the under
fide entirely bright red: in the younger leaves the veins only
have this colour, the interftices being of a bright green.
In the Botanift’s Repofitory it is faid, that Mr. Evans’s
Colleétor firft found this plant growing in the clefts of the rocks
in the Ifland of Pulo-Pinang, in the year 1808. Mr. Donn,
in his Catalogue, marks it as a native of China, and dates its
introduction to this country four years earlier. That it is really
cultivated in China, the drawing above referred to, under the
name of Tfou Hoy Tong, leaves no room to doubt: and we
believe it has been in the royal colle€tion at Kew from about the
time Mr. Donn ftates.
It is a highly ornamental ftove plant, eafily propagated by
cuttings, or by the bulbs which are frequently produced at the
divifions of the ftem. Flowers moft part of the fummer. Our
drawing was made at Meflrs. Lez and Kennepy’s, Ham-
merimith.

This fpecies is faid to be that from which the medicine of the
fame name is obtained; but Tuunserce remarks that a ftill
fuperior fort is had from A. /picata, a plant, we believe, to this
time unknown in our collefiions. The ftem of /occotrina grows
in our greenhoufes to nearly the height of fix feet, acquiring
— the thicknefs of a man’s arm; the /eaves are fometimes {potted
with white on the outfide towards their bafe; feldom exceed a
foot in length and 1—2 inches in breadth near the bafe; when
the plant is in flower, the inner ones generally converge, bending
inwards; their colourlefs juice, when expofed to the air and
’ faffered to dry, becomes of a bright violet-purple colour, a
colour indeed they themfelves ufually aflume before they are
quite decayed. Native of the Cape of Good Hope, although
the name befpeaks it as belonging to the Lfland of Socotora;
whence the beft Alce for medical purpofes is {aid to have been
formerly imported; but it does not feem afcertained from which
{pecies it was extracted.
Our drawing was made from a fpecimen that flowered in
March laft (at the fame time with «.) in Mr. Hawortss
greenhoufe. By that gentleman, @. is confidered as a diffina
{pecies from 2; and in this view of it he is followed in the
fecond edition of the Hortus Kewenfis. As we could difcover
no difference between them beyond that of fize, we have re-
corded them for mere varieties of each other.. The flower-
ftem feldom exceeds two feet in length ; the foliage is of darkifh
dull green, clouded over with a grey bloom or hoar; the
corolla is of a dark brick-red colour, green at the top; about
an inch and a half in length: @ was known in our gardens

Our drawing of the prefent variety was taken from a plant

of the prefent. The Bankfian Herbarium contains feveral
{fpontaneous f{pecimens, but we do not find the fpecies recorded
in either of the editions of the Hortus Kewenfis. It is fo ufual
with cultivators to {trip off the outermoft and thicker coats from

The Purtabecpuus inodorus is a very defirable fhrub, the
flowers being confiderably larger, and of a purer white than thofe
of the coronarius ; and to moft people are not the lefs acceptable
for being without fcent, that of the mock orange being far too
powerful to be generally agreeable even without doors.
Being a native of Carolina, though hardy enough to bear
Our winters when not unufually fevere, it muft be liable to be
deftroyed occafionally. To this caufe we fuppofe is to be
attributed the prefent fcarcity of a plant introduced into the
country before the year 1738. :
| * + Propagated
Propagated by cuttings or layers. Flowers in June and
July, rather later than the coronarius ; from which it is diftin®,
not only in the margin of the leaves being quite entire, but,
according to MicuauX, in the moré‘acuminate form ‘of ‘the ~
fegments of the calyx, and in the ftyle exceeding the ftamens in
length and being folid its whole.length, not divifible into -four
nearly to the bafe, 7
The native country of our prefent plant is certainly Carolina;
that of coronarius is not yet afcertained : “it feems evident from
Cxvsivus’s account, that it was difperfed over Europe from»
the Dutch gardens; but whence it originated is unknown: per-
haps from Japan.”

This is a very rare plant, which has been Jong anxioufly
fought for by cultivators of curious and fcarce exotics, We
believe there are not above three or four individuals of it in. the
country, and of thefe only the one in the colle€tion of James
Vere, Efq. from which our drawing was taken, has as yet
produced any flowers.
It is furprifing that this fhrub, fo famed for its elegance, and
of which Kzmprer enumerates twenty-one varieties cultivated
in Japan, fhould ftill be fo rare in Europe, efpecially when we
learn that it flourifhed, for twelve years, in the garden of
Mynheer Jerome vAN BeverNinGky one of the moft cele-
brated in Holland, producing annually a profufion of flowers,
to the admiration and delight of the amateurs. Prof. HERMAN
declares that, but for its want of fragrance, you might fay of
it,
it, that nature had never produced any thing more lovely; and
even this deficiency might be faid to be amply recompenfed by
the delightful ftru€ture, and exquifite brilliancy of colour of its
flowers.
Among the varieties enumerated by Kamrrery befides the
many different coloured flowers, white, red, yellow, purple,
and fcarlet, with fpots of the moft contrary hues, the foliage of
fome is hairy, of others fmooth; fome produce their flowers
before the leaves, fome after ; others are evergreen ; fome have
five, fome ten ftamens. The variety cultivated in Holland was
brought from Jaccatra; its foliage hairy and evergreen; flowers
of a refulgent pale crimfon colour, and produced in fuch
profufion from June to Auguft, that the upper part of the
fhrub looked as if covered with a beautiful crimfon garment.
Herman defcribes it as having four ftamens only, his
diffe€ted figure however fhews five: in our plant there were
ten, unequal in length, and flightly declined, which together
with the form of the corolla and the fpotting of the fuperior
lacinie, feemed’ to unite it with Rhododendron, rather than
with Azalea; but in fa& there are no natural limits between
thefe genera, or at leaft the number of ftamens affords none ;
and moft of the varieties of this {pecies recorded by Kamrrer
are pentandrous: _ ae
The anthers in the variety here figured, and probably in the
fpecies in general are very remarkable, ludicroufly reprefenting
the heads of fo many little birds juft hatched; the polliniferous-
cells, large and divergent, forming the eyes, and the moderately’
“ois body of the anther, terminating in an acute point, the
ill,
_Native of Japan and China, a hardy greenhoufe fhrub, re-
quiring only proteétion from froft; and we are informed by
Mr. Anpverson, the fkilful fuperintendant of Mr. Vere’s col-
. Te@tion, is readily and fpeedily propagated by layers. ‘Flowers in
the {pring ; in the prefent inftance in March, but this was pro-
bably fomeWwhat earlier than its natural feafon.

This little plant, from the bright violet colour of its flowers,
of which it produces a profufion in long fucceffion, is well
worth cultivating. It thrives beft when the pot ftands conftantly
in water. The form of the corolla of this {pecies differs con-
fiderably from’ that of every other in the genus with which we
are acquainted. It is in fatt tripetalous; the three lacinie of
the upper lip being united into one at the bafe, whilft the other
two forming the lower lip are diftin€&t; and the ftamens and {tile
_ pafs between them ; fo that the flower in this fpecies is reverfed
when compared with the ufual arrangement of the lacinia in
Lobelia.

The name of Bartonra is given to this plant in honour of
Dr. B. S. Barron, Profeffor of Botany and Natural Hiflory,
in the Univerfity of Penfylvania. “, 2
Jusstzv, in his Genera Plantarum, had added Mentzerra
and Loasa, in a feparate fe€tion, to the end of the natural
order of Onagra, as plants nearly related. But fince the publi-
cation of that work, he has (in the Annales du Muféum d’Hift.
Nat. v. 5. p. 18.) feparated thefe two genera from the Oxagre,
making of them a diftinét order, under the name of Loaféz.
To this natural order Bartonia belongs. It differs from
Menrze ra in the indefinite number of its ftamens, the unj-
formity of its filaments, and the number and form of its feeds,
which in Mentzetra are angular and feldom exceed fix.
From Loasa it differs in the number of its petals; in being —
3 | deftiture
-
deftitute of ne@laries, or the varioufly formed fcales alternating
with the petals, in not having its ftamens arranged in diftinét
bundles, and in its capfule being entirely inferior.
This beautiful plant is about three or four feet high, with
fpreading branches, covered with a profufion of odoriferous
flowers, which expand after fun-fet, and remain clofed up the
whole of the day. Native of North-America, growing fpon-
taneoufly in the neighbourhood on the banks of the Miffouri,
from the river Platt to the Andes, on arid volcanic foil.
Living plants have been brought to this country, by Mr.
Tuomas NuttTaLt, who colletied them in the fituation above
defcribed. It has not however as yet flowered here, on which
account our drawing was taken from dried f{pecimens. It is by
particular requeft only that we have been induced to publifh
fuch, contrary to our rule, feldom deviated from, and never
| am mentioning it, of admitting none but drawings from the
life.
_ Another {pecies of this genus is known, which is polypetalous,
has a naked germen, and winged feeds.
For the above generic and fpecific charaéters, and indeed the
whole communication, we are indebted to Mr. Freperick

to flower great part of the voyage home. It feems however
hardly probable that it fhould be a native of fo temperate a

We are indebted to Meffrs. Frasers, of Sloane-Square, for
the opportunity of giving a figure of this very rare plant, which
is not found either in the new edition of Arron’s Hortus Kew-
enfis or in Donn’s Hortus Cantabrigienfis.
It is a native of Pennfylvania, Virginia, and Carolina, grow-
ing in fandy fituations.
Formerly two kinds of Ipecacuanha were kept in the fhops,
the white and the brown: the former was fuppofed by fome to
have
have been the produ of the roots of this plant; but this is
very doubtful. The name of Ipecacuanha appears to have been
applied. to. feveral different plants which have no_ botanical
affinity, merely becaufe they were ufed to excite vomiting, for
which purpofe Crayton remarks that this fpecies of Spurge
was fometimes rafhly exhibited in America, efpecially by the
inhabitants of the North. At prefent we ufe but one kind of
Ipecacuanha, which is certainly not obtained from this or any
other fpecies of Euphorbia.
We are informed by Micnavux, that the leaves of this plant
vary much in form, being obovate, oblong, or fometimes quite
linear. Often too it is found buried in the fand, growing with
crowded ftems, and appearing to be leaflefs.
Flowers in June. Is quite hardy, Propagated by dividing
its roots, Likes a gravelly dry foil.

. Onr fpecies owes its fpecific name to the having been con-
fidered as the Fririttaria wana of Burman and Linnaeus,
although thofe authors have defcribed their plant with bifarious
leaves, while in this they are multifarioufly difpofed round the
i oa oe
-
fcape. But our plant is their Farriyearra regia, in as much
as it is the fame with that which they have quoted for it from
Ditrentus, who was moft probably the authority for their
fpecies, and the E. djfolia of No. 840 of this work is_ their
F. nana. It is evident from the original fpecimen in the Bank-
fian Herbarium, that the E. regia of the Hortus Kewenfis (not-
withftanding the editors have cited the Dillenian plant) is a
diftin& fpecies from the prefent, and more nearly allied to the
undulata of No. 1083; poflibly a mere variety, with broader,
blunter, and flatter leaves. L’Heritier’s regia, which he took
up from a plant in the Kew Gardens, is undoubtedly the fame
with undulata, fince he quotes the figure of it given in H1tt’s
Hortus Kewenfis, under the title of Frirrixiaria longifolia.
We have endeavoured to reétify the fynonymy, but left whdif-
turbed the names by which each fpecies is now generally known.
The whimfical title of regia was fuggefted by Dittentrus, who
hit upon rvega/is in the way he explains in the following words ;
* ceterum cum coronam habeant botanici imperialem (fR1TIL-
% Lariam imperialem), quidni hanc regalem vocemus, cujus ap-
“« pellationis rationem thyrfus coronatim digeftus facile vindicabit.”
Leaves about a foot long, gradually narrower, outer one at the
broadeft g3—4 inches over; /cape 3—4 inches high; flowers
herbaceous, fcentlefs; expanding in April and May. Cultivated
by Dittenrus; and again introduced by Mr. Masson, from
the Cape of Good Hope, in 1774.

In confidering Roxsurcuia as belonging to the clafs —
Ofétandria, and in the whole generic charaéter, we have followed —
- Dr. Roxsuxrcn’s own account, which has been adopted by
WiLipenow and Persoon, as alfo in the new edition of
Aiton’s Hortus Kewenfis; at the fame time we fufpeé that the
very different view taken of this genus by our friend Dr. Smitu,
may be more confonant to nature.
What is above denominated calyx, Dr? Smitu confiders as
corolla, and the four petals as filaments, bearing fo many anthers
on the inferior part of their infide, crowned with an appendage,
the uefary of Roxsurcu. To this part the laft-mentioned
author defcribes the anthers as being attached, and hanging
thence pendulous, one on each fide the longitudinal feptum,
that divides the petal or filament in the middle; while Dr.
Smita confiders each filament as bearing one anther only,
having its lobes feparated by the projeéting feptum. We have
not had an opportunity of examining a fufficient number of
flowers in all their different ftages, to afcertain how this matter
flands, Before maturity, the deep violet coloured —
+ hee
here by their whole iength to the filament, nor have we obferved
that they afterwards feparate and remain attached to the ap-
pendages or neétary only; but they poffibly may ; and if fo, and
the two diftin& lobes are really but one anther, the affinity of this
plant with the natural order of a/clepiadee, between which and the
liliacee it is faid to be intermediate, will be the more ftriking.
Dr. Smiru however refers it to the order of a/paragi; which
was alfo the idea fuggefted to us. On the other hand, each
lobe appeared by its habit, in our eyes, to be a complete anther,
having a deep groove running down its middle, which feemed
to divide it into two diftiné cells; but this appearance may have
been occafioned by the rolling in of the margins of the invefting
membrane, We found the pollen perfettly white, and fufpett
that what Dr. Smitu obferved had been flained by the folution
of the containing integument.
We have adopted the fpecific name of Persoon, which
avoids the impropriety, adverted to by Dr. Smiru, of com-
pounding words of Greek and Latin. We prefume that it has
been afcertained that the plant here figured is really the fame
fpecies as has been defcribed and figured by Dr. Roxpurcn,
although his reprefentation, as noticed by Dr. Smitu, is in
feveral refpetts different; and in the dried fpecimens which we
have feen from the Eaft-Indies, the flowers, as in Dr. Rox-
BURGH'S figure, are hardly half the fize.
__ This plant received its name in honour of Dr. RoxpuRGH;
Phyfician at Calcutta and fuperintendant of the Botanical Gar-
den there, whofe botanical labours are well known in Europe;
although but a {mall proportion of them have as yet been pub-
hifhed. Through him we have become {cientifically acquainted
with a great number of the curious and ufeful produéts of the
Ealt-Indies, many of which have long been in requeft for adorn-
’ ing our houfes, clothing, and feeding us; adding to the palatable-
nefs, perhaps to the falubrity, of our diet; and furnifhing our
fhops with drugs, in high eftimation for thé cure of many
difeafes.
_ The flowers are not very fhewy, and when bruifed have a
difagreeable {mell, which Dr. Smrru compares to rotten cheefe,
corrupted water, or the ftinking morell; but to us it appeared
to contain nothing putrid, but was naufeous and difgufting, like
that of the dwarf elder and fome night-fhades.
_ Our drawing was made in the magnificent ftove of the Com-
tefle de Vannes, at Bays-Water, where this and many more
curious and valuable tropical plants are cultivated in great per-
fection. Native of moift vallies among the mountains on the
Coromandel Coaft. Requires the heat of the bark-ftove. _Pro-
Spat by cuttings. Flowers from April to Augutt. Introduced
by the late Lady Ameria Hume.

This beautiful fpecies of Mimutus was found by Dr.
Lancsporrr, who was attached, as naturalift, to the Ruffian
embafly to China. He brought it, as we are informed, from
Unafhka, one of the Fox Iflands, and feeds were tranfmitted to |
Mr. Hunnemany laft {pring, and through him to Mr. Donn,
curator of the Botanic Garden at Cambridge, who kindly com-
municated to us in July laft the fpecimen from which our draw-
ing was made, under the name of Mimuxus Langsdorfiz, which
we fhould have adopted, had it proved, as was fuppofed, a new
difcovery. But the fame fpecies was found in Chili, by Father
Fevuiiier, and has been long ago defcribed and figured in
his work, as above quoted. From him Linnezvus inferted it
in his Species Plantarum, with the {pecific name of /u/eus. It was
found alfo in California and at Nootka, by Mr. Ancutsa.p
MENZIEs.
We received the fame from Mr, Bucuanan, Nurferyman,
at
at Camberwell; but it was in Mr, Vere’s garden, at Kenfing-
ton-Gore, that Mr. ANDERSON pointed out to us the true
habit of the plant, which leaves no room to doubt but that the
Chili plant and this are the fame fpecies. It throws out, round
the bafe of the ereét flowering-ftem, proflrate branches, which
take root, and from the extremities of fome of thefe other
flowering ftems fhoot up. Has no fcent, but being fhewy and
eafily propagated by feeds, and moft probably by its runners,
muft foon be very common. Although it flowers the fame year
it is fown, we fhould judge from its habit, that its duration is
more than annual.
