_We believe it may ftill be confidered as in fome degree a
difputed point, whether the Caffia and Cinnamon barks of the
fhops are not the produé of the fame {pecies ; and in Rees’s
New Cyclopedia, the lateft publication on the fubjeét, a doubt
is expreffed whether the Lauaus Ginnamomum and Cafia are not

rather varieties than diftin& fpecies. On the other hand,
Gartner's diffeétions of the fruits of the two trees, if there be
no error, which, as he had them for examination from the
Leyden colle€tion of feeds, is certainly not impoffible, fhews
them to be fo diftin&, as to lead to a ftrong fufpicion that they
muft belong to feparate genera.

The true Cinnamon and the Caffia, as preferved in our ftoves,
though eafily diftinguifhed by the eye of an experienced culti-
vator, are not very readily charaéterized as diftin& fpecies b
their foliage or habit; but when the flowers are fubmitted to
careful examination, the ftamens are found to be fo remarkably
different as to give countenance to Mr. Brown’s opinion of
their being, in reality, generically diftin& (vide Prod. Fl. Nove
Hlollandia, p. 401, ad finem).

The red colour of the leaves on the young fhoots does not
occur in the’Cinnamon, and in the {pring of ‘the year readily
diftinguifhes the plants at firft fight. Mr. Marspen, in his
Natural Hiftory of Sumatra, notices this appearance on the
Caffia trees on that ifland.

The Caffia, as cultivated in our ftoves, is a much more
fightly fhrub than the Cinnamon, not only on account of the
above-mentioned variety of colour in the foliage, but as being
generally more healthy, the leaves being far lefs liable to be
injured by the fudden changes of our atmofphere.

Our drawing was made at Meffrs. Wuittey, Brame, and
Mitne’s Nurfery, at Fulham, in May, where it has flowered

The genus CEpera, fo named by Linnzus in honour of
the late Dr. Gzorce Curistian CEper, profeffor of Botany
at Copenhagen, to whofe management the firft part of the Flora
Danica was intrufted, is a fmall greenhoufe fhrub, native of the
Cape of Good Hope.

This plant affords a good example of the order of Polygamia
Jegregata of Linn zus, the head of flowers confifting of a num-
ber of compound flowers, colle&ted together on a common
receptacle and furrounded by a common calyx or involucrum.
‘The partial calyxes each contain feveral tubular hermaphrodite
florets, with females in the circumference; but what is re-
markable, is that only thofe female flowers, which form part of
the outer circle of the common head of flowers, put forth a ligula,
thus making the common head a regularly radiated flower.

Introduced into the Kew Garden in 1789, by Mr. Francis
Masson. Flowers in May and June. Propagated by cuttings.
Our drawing was taken in June 1810, from a plant communi-—
cated by Meffrs, Loppices and Sons. :

Profeflor Cavanittes confiders this as a genus to be

of the filaments being diftin&. He fuppofes that Momorpica
Lnffa of Linnaus may probably belong to the fame genus.
Indeed thefe two plants appear to be extremely fimilar, as we
judge from the excellent figures of Vestincius, in his ob-
fervations on Prosper atpinus. The feeds of the Egyptian
plant are however defcribed as being white, in ours they are
quite black and intenfely bitter. The Cucumis acutangulus of

Linnus is probably the fame with our plant, at leaft the

fruit defcribed by Grew and quoted by him undoubtedly be-
longs to it, All the fynonyms of the Eaft-Indian fpecies placed
under Momorpica Luffa, probably belong to our plant.
Raifed by Mr. Anprerson in Mr. Vere’s garden, from
feeds fent by Dr. Roxsurcn feveral years ago. Our drawing
was taken there in September laft. Native of the Ifles of
Bourbon and of France. Propagated by feeds. To be raifed and

This is undoubtedly the fame plant that is defcribed and
figured by WiiipENow, under the name of CLeome pungens,
in his Hortus Berolinenfis; but we fee no reafon to fuppofe it
to be diftin&t from Cieome /pinofa of Linnaus. The author
himfelf obferves that they are very fimilar, but that this differs
in being more lofty and in having conftantly five, never feven,
leaflets, and in being clammy. But the latter circumftance is
particularly mentioned by Jacgurny in his defcription of
Spinofa; and Mr, ANpvERSON affures us, that the leaves of our
plant, when young and vigorous, had frequently feven leaflets.
As to the height there is no remarkable di ce in his

account —

account and that of Jacquin, if there were any weight in fuch
a diftin€tion.

Though generally confidered as annual, and indeed ufually
flowering the firft year, yet in our ftoves it is perennial, or at
leaft biennial, and blooms more perfeétly the fecond year than
the firft.

Native of the Weft-Indies. Cultivated by Mitver before

The corolla of this variety of the night-{melling Petar-

than in variety («), indeed almoft fmooth, except along the
footftalk and main ribs, and are more like thofe of common
drop-wort ; on which account we have added the additional
name of jilipendulifolium, We have been induced to do this,
more efpecially, as we are not fure that it may not turn out to
be a diftinet fpecies. The fynonyms we have affigned to this
variety in particular come confiderably nearer to it than the

peduncle, from the fork of the divided branches, juft in the
fame manner ; but differ in having a larger corolla with afhorter

tube, not contracted upwards. The moft material difference,
however, and which makes an uncertainty with regard to the
genus, is that the corona or ne€tarium is a procefs of the corolla
itfelf, apparently independent of the anthers; whereas in /usea
the anthers are attached immediately to the bafe of the corona,
which part is confidered by Ausver as filaments bearing the
anthers at their bafes.
It is an evergreen fhrub, requiring the heat of the ftove,

fore obferved, that the Rev. S. Bare had found that they
flowered better by being plentifully fupplied with water in a_
well-heated bark {ftove. Being natives of fandy deferts, where
they are expofed to very long droughts at one time, and at
another to be deluged by rain, it is probable that they fhould
be kept very dry, during the feafon that they are not difpofed

to

to flower; but when the period of flowering arrives, that they
fhould then be removed to a well-heated bark ftove, and be
plentifully fupplied, even kept in pans frequently replenifhed
with water.

reticulate-veined, fhining green on the upper furface and pale
underneath, veins depreffed on both fides and frequently red on |
the under. Before the appearance of the flower the duds are
covered with obtufe, roundifh fcales; and juft before the
flowers appear the internal fcales burft forth, are much longer
and canoe-fhaped of a very bright red colour. The fame
braéies covered the buds which contain leaves only, exciting
vain hopes of a fucceffion of flowers, where not a rudiment was
to be feen. From Lourerro’s defeription, perhaps badly
underftood, it has been furmifed that our plant is a different
_ {pecies from his, but as there are fpecimens in the Bankfian

Herbarium, fent from Macao, by Mr. Haxron, under the
name of Ts1au tTsuNG, which agree exactly with ours, no
doubt can remain of the identity of thefe plants. That
the brattes are naturally and not accidentally deciduous, is
confirmed by two drawings made in China, in both of _—

| the

the flowers are nearly without braf&tes. That the leaves are alfo
naturally deciduous, is confirmed by thefe drawings, for in one
of them, in the poffeffion of A. B. LamBerr, Efq. a few {cat-
tered old leaves remain, as in our figure; but in the other,
preferved in the mufeum at the India-Houfe, and which was
drawn from the life, by a Chinefe artift, at the Englifh factory,
under the eye of Mr. Ker, there are no leaves but the
young ones, which appear at the extremities of the flowering
branches. Peduncles an inch and half long, recurved fo as to make
the flower entirely cernuous. Calyx very fmall, five-cleft : feg-
ments acute and minutely ciliate. Corol/a one-petaled, bell-fhaped:
tube large: limb 5-cleft: Jacinie obtufe, revolute. At the bafe
within the corolla are five hollow neétarjferous cavities, much
as in the flowers of the Crown-Imperial*, making as many gib-
bofities on the outfide. The corolla, though of one piece, eafily
feparates into five. Stamens 10. Félaments inferted into the bale
of the corolla, enlarged and villous a little above their bafe:
Anthers two-awned. Germen five-cornered; angles projecting ;
fides depreffed ; within 5-celled, each cell containing many feeds
attached to the central receptacle. Siy/e ere€t, the length of the
corolla. Stigma fhining green, fimple. We have not feen the
ripe fruit, but Lourzrro fays that it is a five-celled derry.

We are informed by Loursrro, that the fpecies which he
has defcribed, is cultivated in Canton, where it grows to a
moderate-fized fpreading tree ; and that flowering branches are
preferved many days in porcelain veffels filled with water in the
houfes of the mandarins, where they are highly pleafing to the
eye, but have no fcent. And Mr. Ker, in a note which ac-
companies the drawing at the India-Houfe, obferves that this
handfome fhrub grows {pontaneoufly in the province of Canton,
where it is held in a kind of veneration, and the flowers deemed
an acceptable offering to the gods; and, accordingly, at the
Chinefe new-year, which happens at the feafon of their blof-
foming, large branches with flowers are hung up in all the
temples.

_. Flowers in January and February.

For an opportunity of drawing and defcribing this very rare
plant, which has probably never before been feen alive in
Europe, we are indebted to Mr. Knicur, of the Exotic
Nurfery, King’s-Road, Little Chelfea,

The genus Prorea, as conftituted by Linnezus, includes
plants which, though belonging to the fame natural order, differ
in fo many refpeéts, that he was himfelf fenfible that they ought
to be feparated, and accordingly made at one period an attempt
to divide them into two genera; but the very limited number
_ of fpecies at that time known to him, afforded very infufficient

materials to found the generic charaéters upon, and when he
became acquainted with more, they united fo badly with the
genera he had previoufly founded, that he feems at laft to have
given them up in defpair, and left off where he had begun, by
again reducing the whole under one,

After Linn£us, little feems to have been done more than
the addition of new difcovered fpecies, till Mr. R. A, Sarts-—
sury, in the Paradifus Londinenfis, gave definitions of feveral
genera of the African Proteacee. And very foon after, Mr.
Rosext Brown, in the tenth volume of the Tranfaétions “ :

= . the

the Linnean Society, favoured the botanical world with a com-
_ plete revifion of the whole order. The principles of this laft
effay have been adopted in the laft edition of the Hortus Kew-
enfis, and may be now confidered as a well-eftablifhed ar-
rangement.

The names given by Mr. Satissury are for the moft part
retained by Mr. Brown, except in a few inftances, in which
he has given his reafon for deviating from this rule.

Protea argentea of Linnaus, of which our prefent plant
is a congener, being the original LeucapENDRON of HERMAN,
PLuKENET, and of Linnzus himfelf, affords a found reafon
for its adoption, in preference to that of EuryspEeRMUM.

The fpecimen figured in the Paradifus Londinenfis had a
much larger flower than the one here reprefented, which we
believe to have been a female plant, but negleéted examining it
in its recent flate. Mr. Sarissury remarks, that the males
exceed the females in fize.

Many of the Warer-Littes refemble one another in fo many
points, that it requires a more intimate knowledge of them
than can be acquired by a curfory examination, to enable one
to find charaéters to diftinguifh them by. Mr. Writ1am
An person, who has for feveral years cultivated a very ex-
tenfive colleétion of thefe plants, is of opinion that our plant is
{pecifically diftin& from odoraia. It is altogether fmaller than that,
the lobes of its leaves divaricate more, and terminate in a fharper
point, which is frequently a little elongated ; the under furface,
only faintly tinged in odorata, is of a deep purple colour, and
the veins, though raifed above the furface, are fo in a much lefs
degree. That it is really the rofe-coloured variety of odorata of
Puxsu is certain, being the produét of roots brought from

| ? America

America by himfelf. This excellent Botanift defcribes the
flowers as being externally of a rofe colour ; but in our plant
neither calyx. nor petals had any fuch ftain. This difference may
however have arifen from cultivation: the deep purple of the
under furface of the leaves, from want perhaps of {ufficient air
and intenfity of light, did not, as defcribed by Pursu, extend to
the peduncles ; but had that been the cafe, it is eafy to conceive
that it might have alfo reached the outer fide of the calyx, aad
even have been diffufed in a fainter tinge over the petals alfo.

Mr. Pursu has expreffed a doubt, whether WittpENoW’s
figure of odorata, in the Hortus Berolinenfis, may not belong to
this variety. But, as he defcribes the veins as being depreffed,
which in both varieties of cdora/a are prominent, his plant may
perhaps have been our Nitipa. _

varieties, the multiplication confifts of petals of nearly the fame
fize or only gradually diminifhing towards the centre, where
they become too crowded to find room fully to expand; but in
this the outer petals remain of their full fize, not increafed in

were of a pale dingy purplifh colour, fcentlefs ; when expanded,
fomething more than’ the third of an inch in diameter; the
bra€tes, as far as we could make out, were fometimes two-
valved, one valve large and ovate, fitted to the lower part of

appeared to have only one valve. Our plant has a ftrong
general refemblance to Oronrium japonicum (fee No. 898 of

flower of that vegetable, we muft leave it to thofe who have
had, to decide the mutual relations of the two. Orontium
aquaticum, on which the genus was founded by Linn aus, has
evidently no generic affinity with japonicum. Mr. R. Brown had
fuggefted the idea of our plant’s being afemale. We miffed the

This variety differs from the preceding, in its /eaves being
glaucous, the head of flowers more globular, the /fiigma exferted
far beyond the tube of the corolla, and efpecially in having four
united pairs of yellow very confpicuous glandular neéfaries above
the faux, which are hardly vifible in the preceding plant. It is
known among the Nurferymen by the name of Gnipia grandis,
from which genus Lacun #a differs only in the inequality of the
laciniz of the corolla. :

This is a very defirable fhrub, remaining long in bloffom,
and is fometimes, but not always, very {weet-{cented. Native
of the Cape of Good Hope. Requires to be kept ina light
airy part of the greenhoufe; is impatient of continued heavy

This fpecies in its native country, Van Diemen’s Ifland,
grows into a confiderable tree; the one from which our
drawing was made reached to feveral feet in height before it
fhewed any bloffoms. The bark of the extreme branches is
covered with a fine ferrugineous pubefcence ;_ that of the larger
is rough, and of a dark brown colour, approaching to black.
When cut through, the wood of the latter is compact and white ;
but, from its name, we fuppofe that the wood itfelf in older
trees, or perhaps of the trunk only, .is of a black colour.

The eleyated ring which furrounds the mouth of the tube in

have been. The light parts of the flower in Masson’s figure
are much whiter, and ryn in crofs lines more like the mefhes

identity of the fpecies. If we miflake not, we were informed that
Mr. Wooprorp received his plant from Masson _ himfelf,

under the name of reticulata, as

This fpecies and the preceding, as well as /entigino/a, No. 506,

lie at the bottom of the tube, and are feparated into a diftingt
genus, by Mr. Brown, in his elaborate and ingenious Effay on
the Natural Order of Afclepiadex, publifhed in the Memoirs of
the Wernerian Society. To this he has applied the name of
Huerrnta, “in memory of Justus Heuxnius, one of the

SaxtFRaca virginienfis and nivalis appear to us to be very
nearly allied, but the flowers and more efpecially the feed-
veflels of the latter are larger, and the panicle lefs diffule. The
flowers in wirginienfis do indeed grow in clufters; but, as the

feed-veffels _

fecd-veffels form, the panicle expands, and the capfules are
diftin@ and placed alternately along the branches: there are
good fpecimens of the plant in both ftates, fent by BanTRAM
to Peter Corztinson, in the Bankfian Herbarium, and de-
{cribed by SoranperR, under the name of pilofa, with a query
whether it may not be a variety of pen/y/vanica. The origin of
this doubt appears to have been the figure in PLuxenert, re-
ferred by Linnaeus to the latter plant, ‘but which certainly
belongs to this, and is fo quoted by Micuaux and Pursu.

We have examined the fpecimen in CLayton’s own Her-
barium, now in the poffeflion of Sir Josepn Banxs, and find
it to be certainly the fame as our plant in its fully expanded
fate ; indeed it is quoted by SoranpeR as a fynonym of his
pilofa. As this fpecimen is the only authority for #valis being
a native of the United States, that fpecies fhould at prefent be
excluded from the American catalogue.

The very different appearance of SAXIFRAGA Uirginienfis,
when it fir comes into flower and afier the capfules are formed,
feems to have led to the confufion; in the former ftate, it very
much refembles nivalis, as may be feen by comparing our figure
with that of wivalis in the Flora Dangca. :

: sae

We obferve, that the leaves vary confiderably in different
fpecimens, in fize, crenature, and length of the petiole ;_ which
Jatter are however feldom.as long as in our {pecimen, which was

: probably drawn by being flowered under glafs. :

Generic and Specific Characters with Synonyms,—Vide fupra No. 1664,

For this very rare and beautiful variety of CamELiia we are
indebted to Meffrs. Coanpier and BuckINGHAM, Nurfery-
_ men at Vauxhall.
' ‘The leaves, though the fmalleft of any of the varieties which
| we have feen, are rather too large to warrant the name of
myrtifolia. The flower is round and. compaét, with the inner
petals gradually diminifhing in fize ; approaching, except in
colour, to the Bourbon or double white variety.
ss Requires the fame treatment as the other varieties, and is
= readily propagated by inarching- on ftocks of the more com-
mon forts, or by cuttings. -

The flowers of this fpecies having been reprefented as being
fearlet, excited a confiderable intereft amongft our colle€tors ;
they turn out however to be of a rofe-colour, and being only
ob{curely dotted on the upper petal, though larger, are hardly
more fhewy than thofe of RHopoDENDRON maximum, Our
drawing was made at the Hammerfmith Nurfery, Meffis. Ler
and Kennepy, June 1813. In a fpecimen which flowered
at Meffrs.§ Marcotm and Sweet's laft fpring, it was
remarked that the petals were of a much more intenfe colour
externally than within, and that confequently the flowers were
more fhewy when but few of them were fully expanded.

Native of the high mountains of Virginia and Carolina, parti-
cularly near the fource of the Catawba River, where it was found
in 1808, by Mr. Joun Fraser and his late father, and by
them introduced in 1809.

It forms a low fpreading bufh, feldom afcending more than —
three feet. The capfule is fmooth, larger, and more approaching
to an oval form than that of R. maximum, in which it is nearly
cylindrical and ferrugineous. We have obferved too, that
variety y Of maximum, in Mr. Pursn’s Flora of North-America,
has {mooth capfules and a leafy calyx, charaéters fufficient to

We have before remarked that the feparation of PENsTEMON
from Cuetone, on the ground of the difference in the length
and pubefcence of the barren filament, is attended with diffi-
culties. In our prefent plant, this organ exceeds the length of
the fertile ftamens as in the former, but is entirely beardlefs as
in the latter. In habit it correfponds with Penstemon J/evigata,
and efpecially with pube/cens.

We received this as the grandiflora of Fraszr’s Catalogue,
and probably it is the plant there meant; but Mr. Pursu ap-
plies that fynonym to his Penstemon Bradburii, which has ftill
larger flowers, and is much taller and more upright.

CEnotuera Fraferi in many refpeéts refembles fruticofa
(fupra No. 332) but when carefully examined is fufficiently
diftin@ : the moft important chara€ter, however, is the form of
the capfule, which in the prefent plant is four-cornered, while
in fruticofa it is multangular. Mr. Purss, in confequence of
this fpecies, has propofed the following alteration in the fpecific
charaéter of the latter: CENoTHERA frulicofa ; tenuiter pubelcens,
caule a bafi ramofo divaricato, foliis feflilibus lanceolatis fub-
dentatis acutis, capfulis pedicellatis oblongo-clavatis angulatis.

CEnotuera Fraferi is anative of North-America, where it
was firft colle€ted by Mr. Joun Fraser, in the year 1808,
and foon after introduced into this country. It is a hardy per-
ennial. Propagated by feeds or parting its roots. Drawn at the
North-American Nurfery, Sloane-Square.

The fpecific name was given by Mr. Pursn, in honour of
the difcoverer, who travelled with his late father in North-
America in fearch of plants. To thefe laborious colleێtors
the Botanical Magazine has frequently been indebted for the
opportunity of publifhing new and rare plants. To their in-
— duftry, indeed, ought to be attributed the acquifition of many

; more

more of the valuable plants which adorn our gardens, than is
generally known.

ADDENDUM,

No. 1592. CENOTHERA MISSOURENSIS.

Mr. Pursu has added this as a fynonym of his Q&. macrocarpa,
Suppl p. 734. In his account of which fpecies he fays, that
* the figure in the Botanical Magazine is apparently from a
very weak and ftarved plant. ~The flowers of thofe in the pof-
feffion of A. B. Lamsurt, Efg. were nearly fix inches in
diameter, and the tube nearly feven inches long. ‘There is an
inequality on the edges of the petals, but by no means can it be |
called ferrulate, which term has been introduced into the dif-
ferentia {pecifica, and flrongly, but erroneoufly, expreffed in
the figure.” aa

Now we apprehend ‘that Mr. Pursi muft have had fome
other fpecies in view. We have feen a drawing of Mr. Lam-
BERT’s plant, in which it was reprefented with upright flems,
whereas our plant is always decumbent. We have attended to
it particularly this fummer, at Mr. FrAsen’s, where it grows
apparently in full health; but the flowers are not at all larger
than reprefented in our figure; and the limb of the corolla is
always ferrulate, as defcribed, nor is this charaéter at all exag-
gerated in our figure. It cannot, we think, with any propriety
be called. macrocarpa, or large-fruited ; the capfule being much
fmaller than in feveral other {pecies. We muft confefs however
that we have not feen it with ripe feeds,

ferent fpecies. There is, however, fo confiderable a difference
in the herbage, as well as in the colour of the corolla, that we
can but think that cultivators are juftified in confidering them to
be diftin&t. The form of the neélaria would probably decide
with more certainty, but this part not having been attended to
with a view to their affording diftinguifhing charaéters, entire
confidence cannot be put in the accuracy of reprefentations. The
latter have certainly the lacinie of the netlary bifid, and the
teeth are longer and more divaricate in Bufonis than in piéia. In
the figure this part is reprefented entire in variegata, on which
account Mr. Haworrs confiders it not to be the variegata of
Linnzus. But it is neceflary that thefe parts fhould be care-
fully compared in the living fpecimens, before any thing can
be determined. Our prefent plant has been fo well named, that
were all the fpecies to be feen flowering together, the likenefs to
that loathfome animal which has fuggefted its appellation, would
infallibly point it out.

As far as we are able to judge from the engraving in the
above-cited work of MrcHau x, as well as from his defcription,
we take our prefent plant to be the Zicapenus glaberrimus.
It fhould be obferved, however, that the figure in that work
has been done from a dried plant, in which there is not one
corolla fhewn in its natural flate. We are really at a lofs to
fay what may have induced the feparation of the {pecies into a
genus diftinét from that which was left in poffeflion of Hetonras
virginica (feeabove, No. 985). Excepting that the corolla in the —
prefent plant is ultimately connivent, which is not the cafe there,
we cannot deteét the flighteft point to juftify this innovation.
According to us, Veratrum and the American {pecies of
Metantuium form but one genus with Hevontas ; and
we do not fcruple to add Zicapenus to the mais. Our
_ drawing was made from a plant that flowered this fummer at

Mr. Fraser’s Nurfery, in Sloane-Square, and which had been

imported from North-America. If it be the Zicanenus gia
berrimus, as we prefume, it is found in moift graily {pots in

The number of leaflets is fo apt to vary in this genus, that it
affords but a very bad {pecific charaéter. Our plant being
particularly ftrong, produced feven leaflets on each of the lower
leaves ; but retained its chara€ter of three in the floral leaves.

The genus is not lefs variable in the number and fituation

: of

of the ftamens in the different fpecies, affording an inftance of
peculiar difficulty in arranging it fatisfattorily | in-the Linnean
fyftem. Though inferted by Linn cus in his clafs Zesvadynanya,
Crzome has litle affinity with the genera naturally belonging
to that family. Jussizu. inferts it in the natural order of
Capparides, with which it affociates well.

Native of both Eaft and Weft-Indies. A tender annual, re-
quiring to be raifed in a hot-bed, and kept in the ftove or under
