!biNCB the publication of the Ji%s$eriai%(yrLOVi such 
species of the Linnaeau genus Saxifraga in the 
year 1803^ as the author up to that period had 
seen alive, or found cultivated in the gardens of 
England; our knowledge coneerning that intri- 
cate genus and the genera allied to it, has been 
much augmented, hoth by the discovery of new 
species, and by further information concerning 
those already recorded. 

In the Disseriation of 1803, a promise was he!d 
oot, that it would probably be extended at some 
future and more favourable period to the remain- 
ing SaxifragcB, although they mtght not beculti- 
vated in the gardens of England. ^ That time has 
at length arrived ; and that promise is in the foi- 
lowing pages more than fulfilled ; the present essay 
extending itself quite through Saxifraga, to the 
remaining genera of the Saxifragean Order^ with 
the exception only of the frutescent and arbores- 
cent genera of Hydrangea, Weinmannia, and Cu- 
nonia ; temporatily appended to it by Jussieu, but

which in all probability are the incipient rudiments 
of yet another Order^ between the present and 
that of Caprifolia» ^ 

Nor is the old genus Saxijraga, here, merely 
simply enumerated ; but extensively revisetl ; broken 
down ; and remodelled ; with a view toiessen its 
intricacy; (which every Botanist complains of^) 
by decomposing its incongruous combinations^ and 
rebuilding from the decomposition^ and from the 
examination of many newly discovered species^ a 
more appropriate^-commodious, and natural dis^ 
tribu^ion of the whole : thus <lisposin|; the old ge- 
nus into ^uch new generical groups/s^ pajpabiy 
appear to consist each of plantft CQnstriieted as it 
were, on one mpdel; and so g^eatly rpoembliO^ 
each other in habit^ size^ iand a.ppearanf^fif . that Ji 
Geologist might say» they are eyi4ently ^^dUiof 
the ^Qm^formationn' 

Such the author ventures to believeaU truei Gfi* 
nera really to be ; and their 9pecie(». and varieties 
merely discrepancies of a minor aj^ajraQkce^ Aa4 
such groups usually themselves poiatouta.comntofl 
name ; that is^ a name applyiog. in comnon to tbeBt 
all; which again reciprocally points out.thegroupk 
Whence this mode oif coUocating plauts^. shduld 
seem to be a natural one at |east. 

Neither does.the famous canon of Linoaeus 
(^^Genus dabit charac terem^ nec character genuA>") 
at all interfere with the plan proposed^altbough in 
the present instancey we should ratbQr say^ ^'Gentts

gishus ;*' because the canon of Linnaeus alludes to 
the fructificatioh alone^ while ours more especially 
looks to the habit.— Happily^ too, such natural 
groups as are here understood, are also usually ac- 
companied by corresponding agreehients in the 
parts which compose their fructifications, and from 
which Botanist» are enabled to construct their 
technical generical characters : although this (as 
ts best known only to those who have longest la- 
boUred at it) is a much less easy business than 
is commonly imagined ; aud liable (as the canon 
of Linnffius asserts) to a multitude of unexpected 
and interrupting aberrations. These it is the pro- 
vince of tfae Botanist to overcome. And where 
the knbt is too intricate to be at all unravelled— 
he who cuts it in the most ingenious manner^ still 
renders a valuable service to the science.- 

In the Dissertation of 1803, Saxifraga sarmen' 
tosa was the only species mentioned as anomalous 
and isolated ; or as likely to form a new genus. 
And in 1609, it became actually elevated into one, 
under the name of Ligularia, by Duval, in his ca- 
Calogue of Succulent Plants 4n the Gardens of 
Alen^on.' Since that time, a second species has 
been discovered and introduced into our gardens^ 
which is here described by the name of Ltgularia 
minoTy which the writer hears is figured in the Bo- 
tanica Cabinet, but he has not seen it. Previously 
to the publication of the above-mentioned Cata- 
logue, the author of this Essay had in his MS. 
iiamed this genus Sarmentea, from its strawberry- 

b2 



VIU ^ PREFACK. 

like runners. That name of course he now relin-' 
quishes ; preserving its signification, however, for 
the i^urpose of distinguishing a subdivision of Ge- 
tiera ; because these very remarkable plants stilt 
rcmain anomaious j and in that manner, still re- 
quire an isolaeed post. 

After this, in the year.1812, in an appendix to 
the author's Synopsis Plantarum Succuleniarum, 
three more genera were removed from Saxifraga^ 
and some new species enumerated. And it was 
moreover there announced, that more species 
would eventually recede in the shape of nevv ge- 
nera, frora the old Genus 5 the result of which se- 
paration will gradually develop itself in the fol- 
lowing pages. The new generie names there given, 
have been carefully constructed from the most uni- 
versal features; and always in the feminine gender 
of Saxifraga ; for the especial piurpose of prevent- 
ing any orthographical alteration in the specific 
names of the plants, on their elevation to genera ; 
except only in the instances of Miscopetalum andi 
' Hirculus ; the former of which was printed before 
the idea occurred, and the latter remaining (ac* 
cording to thc laws of Linnaeus) as an ancient 
generic namc. 

It will in all probability be the opinion of 
some Botanists, that too many new genera are 
here made ^ut of the old Genus Saxifraga, and 
from discrepancies too ofteu resulting irom habit, 
and too seldom from character ; and consequently 
somctimes unnecessarily introduced. The author 



PRBFACE. IX 

bega leave to refer such Botanists to what he has 
said in another place : viz. '^ That it is not a Bo- 
tanist who actually makes genera. He merely at- 
teinpts^ by his art, to discriminate those which the 
mighty hands of his own Maker have already made ; 
and not only made^ but sealed ; each^ as it were, 

^ with some peculiar mark ; which we distinguish 
by the name of kabit ; and by which we may know 
them, without the aid of the characters of the fruu* 
tification/* SuppL pL succ, p, 40. 

But if we take character alone, regardless of 
habit, as the clue to guide us in the constrUction 

. of Genera, or even in the difficult detcrmination of 
Species^ we shall frequently be induced to form er- 
roneous conclusions : while on the other hand, the 
natural halitSy if duly appreciated, will serve like 
beacons, and the lights of a Lighthouse, to direct 
us tO'the truth. 

Yet it may still be said, so great a mqltiplica- 
tion of genera burdens the memory ; that it is im- 
possible to recollect them : and that new sections 
might answer as well. It is answered, New sec- 
tions must have new names^ and that those will 
equ&Ily add to the burden of the mind. It may be 
replied, It is not requisite to rememberso minutely^ 
m any tribe whatever. But those who' so think^ 
will seldom learn to discriminate either closely^ or 
extensively ; for in some tribes it is requisite : and 
if they suppose biit half the genera at present on 
record, can be distinctly retai^ied by human me- 
mory; they are a» much mistaken as one who 



PRBFACB» 

should say, he knew off hand^ and thoroughly^ all 
the words of the English dietionary. Happily, it 
is not necessartf to recollect extemporaneously ei- 
ther all the Genera^ or half the Dictionary ; so 
long as the former are systematically distributedy 
and while the latter submits to the dominion of 
the alphabet. 

With respect to the coUocation of the Genera 
and Species in the present Essay^ the author does. 
not flatter himself that it is the best that can be 
pifered for the elucidation of the Saxifragean 
y Order ', and it is with diffidence he ven^ures to 
propose it as an improvement only, of the old one» 
. Perhaps, indeed, it is scarcely possible that any de- 
scriptive arrangement on paper, that is at the same 
time necessarily a continuous one, that is, in a 
atraight line, can ever be entire^ unexceptionable. 
Because every good Botanist may perceiv^ that 
a perfectly natural distribution of the genera or the 
species^ should be made^.not continuously, but as 
it were circuitously, somewhat resembling the face 
ofamap; suchbeingthe wayof nature invariably^ 
]n arranging her manifold productions, . For as 
well might Geographers endeavour to link king- 
doms and counties longitudinally^ as a Botanist to 
plaee genera and species naiurallyy in the conti- 
nuous way of a straight line. For theKingdoms 
and the counties in the one case, and the Genera 
and species in the other^ mutually approximate^ 
not merely atoa« point^ but almosjtiinyariably at 
many.

-Thus would Spatularia stellarh (bclow)' he a 
Roleirisonia, but for its diflfering litainents — a Mis- 
c^idlufn, butTor* its refiected calyx, or a Saxi^ 
/raga, but for both these characters. Yet the 
cittases whrch would give' gracility to the base of its 
fttaments^ as in Robertsonia^ would probably also 
alter its habit to the petiolated leaves &c. of that 
genus^^tho^ which would turn up its calyx, 
mfght 'ehange its cuneated leaves, and clothe its 
naked scape with the rounded ones of Miscopeta^ 
lUm ;-- or the csuses which would prodace all those 
charactei^, or wipe them all away, might leave it 
still 'k true Saxifraga, In a word^ whatever causes 
could alter atty one of these pristine generic con* 
formntions^ would likewise, in all probability, very 
far disturb, or even remodel the appearances of 
cfthers ; so that, however trivial or inefficient the 
app&rent.eharacters of Spatularia, or those of any 
other Genus, may seeni as generical ones ; they 
are, nevertheless, lotanically, very important/ 

Hence it should seem, that nothing short of a 
botanical map, or some distribution resembling a 
genealogical table, can show fairly to any thing but / 
ttie eye bf the mind, the real but gradual approxi- 
mations of genera and species towards each other. 
And such ' a scheme^ showing individually the es- 
fitential characters^ of at least the Genera^ will pro- 
baMy^ere manyages pass^be appended tothe head 
of many a natural Order of Plants; while the letter 
press details the same longitudinally^ and with 
other characters more at large.

And closely analogous to this doctrine of the 
conformity of plants of the same hatural ge^ius to 
each other, in this great age of improvement in 
eyery way, is the science which displays the actual. 
geographical stations of the genera ; or in other 
words, as we should rather say, the primaeval di- 
spersion of the vegetable kingdom over t^e face of 
the earth. And this is both a novel and important 
study. For the primitive distributions have been 
by no means vague or indeterminate ; but almost 
always geographically regular; aljhough varioua 
natural and eveu artificial operations have, at va- 
rious epochs, very far disturbed those pristine re- 
gulations, Such more especially, as rivers, seas, 
and floods, (and hence the wide spread of aquatic 
plants), and the dreadful concassions of geological 
catastrophes ; as well as the various and extensive 
emigrations of the human race— of quadrupeds 
and birds : each more or less frequently operating 
in the wide spread of vegetable seeds: lyhich 
thereby, wherever the climate is congenial, becovie 
occasionally naturalized in a foreign soil. Hence 
can the geographic botanist frequently trace the 
sites of. ancient and otherwise obliterated towns 
aod cottages, by the extraneous or exotic weeds 
wbich remain there very long after the desolation 
of the ruius they inhabit. ;\nd through such 
means, the time perhaps may arrive, when even 
some of the most hidden aud early migrations of 
the human race, and the consequent formation of 
nations, may be faintly found (through th^ vege*.*

tables they have left)^ or gradually developed by 
the geographic botanist. Thus may Botatiy help 
to corroborate the sagacity of the antiquarian and 
the historian, and the botanist receive reeiprocal ' 
assistance: thereby proving how important the 
ficiences may become to each other, through the 
xuedium of deductions at (irst imperceptible. But 
Wfi must cease digressing. 

This Essay would not so soon have appeared, 
liad it not been for the solicitations,. and through 
the assistauce^ of the author's valuable friend and 
coadjutor in collecting^ cultivating, and comWT 
nieating this Order of plants — the Rey. W, Ti 
Bree^ of Allesley near Coventry. For the further-T 
ance of this purpose ; he has personally examined 
many of the English^ Welch, and Scotch moun- 
tains^ with unusual success : and those of Ireland^ 
also, have yielded to his assiduity an abundant 
harvest of interestiug matter. Nor has his zeal 
stopped even here ; for it has induced him to pur- 
cbase costly publicatlons, without the aid of which 
the present Es^ay could hardly have been com* 
pleted. To his liberal coadjntor, therefore, the 
author has gratefully requesteU permission to dedi- 
cate the whole. 

The observations of Mr. Bree concerning the 
nature of those miultifid-leaved Saxifrages allied 
to Sax^ Hypnaides ; (and which thence we calt 
Hypnoidean), and moresostill respecting the genus 
Robertsimia; the former in the mountains of 
Walesj Cumberland aud Scotland^ thc latter in 



Xiv PRBFACE* 



tliose of Ireland only^ (where they seeih quite af 
home,) have been the means of afibrding us consi- 
derable information ; and that, too, of a kind not 
to be satisfactorily acquired^ but by an examina- 
tion of these very variable plants in their sponta- 
lieous places of growth. 

Thus it was amotig the wild mountains of Kerry^ 
especially about the lofty '^ Reecks,^* in the ro- 
mantic '' gap of Dunloe/' and in the neighbour- 
hood of the far-famed and beautiful banks of Kil- 
lamey, that he gathered every possible shade of 
intermediate variety, between Saxifraga Geum of 
English Botany, and Saxifraga hirsuta of the 
tiame work, (but not exactly the hirsuia of Linn., 
which he thinks is not adistinet species;) including 
tttoreover pretty nearsimilitudes of the continental 
Saxifraga punctata and Sax. umhrosa of Lin- 
ns^s ; yet assuredly not, at least, the latter, nor 
any thing than can be mistaken for it : nor everi 
the exactly contincntal punctata, In short, he 
scarcely found any thing constant amongst theUiji 
excef^t their constant tendency to endless varia- 
tion : aud all this, apparently, through the hybri^» 
diaing proeesses of cross itnpr^gnation, Hence he 
finds the greatest difficulty in determimng which 
are the origrnal species, from whence all this pro- 
fu9ion of mongrels have gradually arisen ; and con- 
cludeB they are fout two. N^ither i^ lie satisfied 
that Roberisonia itmlroHtj wfcich he gathered in 
Hessleton Gill, Yorkshire, (the place mentioned 
in English Botany^) is more than of gardeu origin; 



j 



wherefore tbat lohgdoubted native oFBritain must 
again remain at leaat a doubtful BHtish apecies. 
But here, the ^uthQr, yet with diffidence, inclines 
to diBagree with his coacyutor ; simply because the 
Hessleton Giil plant is notby any means the same 
as the common foreign R. umbrosa of our gardens, 
but a very strong variety of it, with mueh shorter 
petiole^' .and smaller panieles ; whlch do not ap- 
pear to alter under th^ tests of cultivation. This 
yariety» Mr. B. st^pf oses, maybe, the same as the 
Robertsonia ufnbr6sa,v/hich isfouiid oh the banks 
of the Glyde, although in- all probabiltty not of 
spontaneous origin. And a plant Mr. B. received 
from the Ediuburgh Bntanic Garden (and which 
he cdttjectures is the.Clyde one) ntider thetuame 
of SaxiJragaumbrjDsa^ ^^ is so much iike the Hes* 
sleton Gill one, that it mightwell passfor it." 
Such, in aletter, arehis words ; and he aiso says 
tbat he ^^LVf R. umkrom ^^ ^hnost naturalized" m 
a romantic spot near agentlema»*8 seatin. the 
eounty of Wicklow. 

With respeet to the whole tribe of Hypnoidem 
Saxifrages, Mr» Bree is indined to tbinkthat they 
are really as. $portive on the Welch and Scotch 
mountains, as that of Robertsonia on the moun- 
taius of Ireland. And this bpinion he takes upnot 
rashly, but from having actually «ibserve^ similar 
variatiions, and iimumerabiegradatrons in hxik^ and 
si^e ; and even, as he imagihes^ in: tht^' I^iniation 
of.tbeir leaves. ' Wherefore, it hasbee^ d^emed 
pr^per itt the pcesent Essay to re^lucethe number ^ 
of aupposed Hypnoidean specie», aM w^Il as those 



XVI PRBFACB 

of the variable gehus Uoberisonia ; retaining ne<^ 
vertheless in both tribes, some of the leading va« 
riations as nam^d varieties, or subspecies. 

It may here be imagined by some, that the au« 
thor'8 opinions concerning the specific distinctions 
of plants, are as peculiar as those above advanced 
respec£ing the genera. For bis continued experi* ' 
ence seems at length to confirm him in the doo* 
trine which he has ever in private proposed ; but 
which now he ventures thus publicly to announce, 
viz. That there are^ on the one hand, many native 
plantswhich afford no specific characters^ in.the 
Linnaean sense of those words^ and which still are 
apecies : and that,. on the other hand, there are 
aome^ which^ although they present abundant spe- 
cific characters of the Linnaeau kind, are never-p> 
theless varieties only. 

Hence it is conceived that the Hypnoidean Saxi» 
fragce of Snowdou, &c. are but seldom, if ever, 
exactly the same as those of Scotland : or that 
either precisely resemble those which inhabit the 
mbuntains of Kerry. And the keen eye of a bo* 
tanist, by their habit alone^ is able to distinguish 
the one from the other, however trifling their ac« 
tual discrepahciefl may be. 

Tbe Hypnoidian tribes are perhaps more diffi- 
cult to understand correctlv than anv other ; for 
although the eye of a botanist may be able to dis* 
criroinate amongst them, the tongue often, and 
even the pen, is foiled in attempting to describe 
what is actually perceived. In this intricate de- 
partment therefore, above all others^ the author 



j 



PREFACH. XVII 

^olicits the reader'8 indulgence, having still endea* 
voured to do his best. The strictest attention is 
^ necessary bpth to the rosaceous and stoloniferous 
^riods of growth in these plants, as laid down at 
large in the Disserlation of 1803 j nor can any 
thing decisive be determiued without.it, although 
the period of their earlie^t fiowering seems to af* 
ford the best oppbrtunity for constnicting charac- 
teristic names ; for perhaps at no other season are 
80 niany and 8uch strong characters simultaneously 
developed. Then are the old rosaceous leaves pf 
autumn aud winter^ stiJl surroundihg the base of 
the scape j and the nascent stolones of spring, be- 
ginning to'shoot forth; and perbaps also^ every 
other character is then partly perceptible; except^ 
indeed, the elongation of the styles and stigmas^ 
and capsules which are yet unformed. But fortu- 
nately the three last points are more of generical 
than specific importance. And were we to wait 
till they were formed. the rosaceous leaves would 
partly disappear^ and the ripening stolones wbuld 
thicken at their ends, commencing the preparation 
for the future rose-shaped tufts : thus blending 
together the distinctive features of two remafkable 
seasons of growth, so as to defy the discriminatiou 
of the most discerning eye^ and baiHe the decisiou 
of the most consummate judge. 

HerCy perhaps, towards the close of this preface, 
a few words-respeqting the cultivation of Saxifra» 
gidt may neither be unacceptable^ nor iuappro* 
priate ; especially as they are oifered as the result 
of long experience and extensive cultivation. 



All the larget" spccies thrive very wrtl \h almdrt 
aiiy situation, yet seem to prefer moisture^ cool- 
ness, ai\d moderate shade ; and to look iieat, re^ 
quire transplanting a^d dividihg at least once M 
every two or three years. The middle-sized spet 
cies will also thrive in shady borders (but not 
overthadbwed by trees) - oF very light vtgbtable 
earth, especiaflly such boggy eartH as Rhoddden- 
drons and Heaths delight in ; .iil stich situations 
they require dividing and transplanting at least 
once iii every year. 

The remaining smaH and m}mite speciiesxvill 
scarcely thrive out of small pots of bpg earth ahd 
loam, and are best sheltered in a {i-ame during the 
winter, from excess of wet and^rost; butat all 
other times they require to be constantly exposed 
to the air, and should be carefully divided and 
transplanted every spring and ^utumn into fresh 
earth, These pots in summer should have the 
morning sun only for a few hours, in autumn rather 
more, and in the middle of winter an aspect to th^ 
south 5 but still with the lights of the frame con- 
stantly down in all but very wet or hard frosty 
weather ; and even then they may be exposed, if 
the sun shines strongly : for nothing is more pre- 
judicial than forcing their natural forwardness pre- 
maturely into blossom. <' 

The whole order, but more espeeially the smaller 
«pecies, are exccllent fumiture fbr rock- work ; and 
if placed judiciously with regard to aspect, will 
succeed very well, and prove highly ornamental. 

Tt fs scarcely necessary to add^ that due atten- 



lioD to watering is requisitey espedally for those 
iuflraall.'pots.; and that u^roi», slilga and stiails 
are remarkabl^F. part^d.to all these plan ta, and o&w 
destroy them, in spite of the moat unabating assi- 
duity of the gardeuer.to prevent sttch depredatiQOt. 
The Gen^i&Ligularia, being more tender than the 
othera, is hardly secure, . even in . mild winters, 
withputthe protection of the greenhouse, akhough 
near London it eometimes siurvives^ and even flour 
rnhes out of doors on shaded rdck-work» The 
earth in the pots, and abont the small species on 
rock-work^&cshould be stirred on the surface ocr 
casionally^ anda little fresh added when requisite; 
and the whole of course kept dear from weeds^ or 
the overpowering luxuriance of other plants. The 
Genus Antip^iylla, although its native rocks are 
ro^H^t^ in a cultivated state de^ights more in sun 
and drought than many of the others^and indeed 
witt not blossom in our open ground^at all^ or even 
in pot3 without due attention toits proper wants. 
But if pianted in a mixture of hutf bog earth and 
loam^ placed in thefuli sun, and wateredsparingly 
evesp in summer, and wintered in a frame ; it will 
blossom annualiyy very early and brilliantly. Trom 
its small size, lovely flowers, and early appearance^ 
it is a welcome ornamenf to the parlour or study, 
and is brought abundantly to Covent Garden 
Market every March, or even at the end of Fe- 
bruary^ and eagerly purchased (as other writers 
have observed) for thosc purpo^es. 

Most of the species are propagated very rapidly 
by parting their roots in spring^ summer, or au- 



tumn; and ako plentifuUy, even by self-sowii 
seed ;— but the seed when produced in the neigh^ 
bourhood of kindred speeies^ is ever liable to foe 
adulterated through the means of busy insects^ or 
tbe passing gales ; and is therefore on no account 
tb be preferred where an increase can be had by 
parting the roots. Indeed^ from the humerous 
mongreis already in our gardens^ this tribe^ like 
some few others, threatens very soon to bid defi* 
ance even to the eyes of a botanist^ to discriini* 
nate amongst its contaminated seedlings^ wbich 
are constantly arising, however distinct the parent 
plants may be, and how widely soever separated 
in a state of naturf by intervening countries or 
continentSj or' even half the globe. 

The seeds when sown^ require only shade and 
moisture^ and the common protection from weedt , 
frost, worms, insects, slugs, and snaik^ &c. ; and 
will flower thesecond year after sowing^ and some* 
times sooner. But as they usually vegetate very 
freely, thinning and transplanting are frequently 
necessary. 

Cottingham near Hull,

as are presumed to have been iirst specifically de* 
soribed bytheauthor; or byhim first showu to 
be erroneously named by other authors ; or, at the 
leasty first admitted by the present writer as di^ 
stinct species, since the days of Linnaeus.

Obs. Mr. Curtis^ speaking of SaxifrageBj says, 
^^ Of this numerous and beautiful tribe of plants, 
we know of none whose flowers in point of pret- 
tiness can vie with those of the present spe- 
cies ; they are marked with numerous fine dots^ 
like those of the London Pride {Saxifraga tim- 
brosa Linn.)) but in a superior style of beauty; 
and appear to great advantage when viewed 
with a magnifier.'' Curtis L c. 

Obs. AII the Robertsonue (of which the London 
Pride is one) are marked in the same manner : 
andsome Chondrosiee (of which the "Pyrami- 
dal Saxifrage'' is a species) still more beauti- 
fully.

Obs. This is the plant which is called Sedum 
dentatum in gardens, as mentioned in Bot. ma- 
gaz. 1807} but I am not by any nieans certaiu 
of itsbeing the denticulaium of Donn^scata* 
logue. As a species it is extremely distinct 
from the two preceding ; although nearly in- 
termediate in size. The leaves (not to repeat 
what is given in the specific character) are more 
shining, and upon far slenderer or longer and 
more deeply-channelled petioles. Neverthelessj 
all the three at first sight are very much alike.

coUection m June last, under the nanie of Se- 
dum sexfidum ; which name being occupied by 
the foUowing species, could not vnih propriety 
be here retained. The present article very much 
resembles Sedum quadrifidum of Wiild., and 
but for the name, I should have thought theni 
the satne. A detailed description of 5. hex-- 
apetalum I have mislaid, and drawn up this ac- 
count of it from memory only. Perhaps a var. 
of S. 5-ftdum. Perhaps of 4-fidum. Perhaps 
ihe ihree aire one. I have not the means of de- 
ciding at present, and have only been able to 
procure a single and imperfect specimen of each, 
and those at different and distant times^ pre- 
venting due comparison.

that these two piants are diJtinct species ; and 
that the latter should be distinguished from 
the former, which is the A. ajricana of MilL 
dic. ed. Sy and other subsequent authors, 
"^herefore, until a better diagnosis can be pre-

Obs. At the present termination of this genus^ 
the aathor avails himself of ^ the opportunity 
of making a few remarks concerning the dubiouA 
species of his Appendix in voL 7, of Linn. ir, 

' p. 25. &c, — iThe first species given by the name 
of A, anomala, on the authority only of the 
poor figure there cited, he thinks is merely a 
bad representation of recurua^ bettler delineated 
in Bot, mag. 1353, though from a juveiiile 
plant. But he cannot agree with Bot. mag, m 
citing A, tricolor of the same page of the same 
AppendiXjfor the same thing ; but rather agrees 
with his iliustrious correspondent, the Prince 
de Salm Dyck, in believing this plant {A. tri^ 
color, Linn, tr, v, 7* 25.) to be distinct^ and 
with him {i^ CataL rais, d'Aloe) adopts La- 
marck's specific name, of venosa for it. Buc 
it belongs to the genus Haworthia^ and is figured 
in Comm, prcelud, 29 ; and also in IVeinm» 
phyt. t.7l,a; according to Bot, mag, (in loco). 
But the last figurethe present writer has uot 
examined. 

The third speeies {pertusa) of the said Appendix 
is described above, in the present work, under 
the name of Turgosea pertusa, 

The fourth species {muricata) is probably a bad 
representation oi A,ferox, Bot, mag, 1975. 

The fifth species {ramosa) is most likely A, pur* 
purascens, 

The sixth {punctata), which is the most extraor- 
dinary, and perhaps.the worstfigured of all^mity 
be npthing more than a miserable cut of A* vi^t 
riegatay better giv^o in f^^t. ga«.88, |« 



Hexandria. Monogynia. Rhipidodendrum. 4i^ 

The seventh (Jkorrida) is A. ferox. 

The eighth {rhodocantha) is A, glauca minor of 
Syn. succ, 79. 

And theninth ahd last (dorsalis) may be a distinct 
species allied to barbadensisy or lineata ; but 
unknown at present in our gardens. It is A, , 
vera^ coita spinosa^ Munting, aloid, 21, cum 
icone 23 : and seems not only a distinct species, 
but may even, with y^. barbadensis and its close 
allies^ fprm a new genus with yellow flowers ; or 
' rather^ theyare the only true Aloes: but I have . 
not been able to procure flowers for dissection.

has given an improved catalogue of the genus

(except in M. glabrum hereunder detached) lie 
veiled in difficulties^ which (thua far at least) 
escape development and defy research. They 
will.not be fettered. 

And yet the author once had vainly hoped that the 
M1NIMA9 from the tubular corollse of some of 
them ; the Linguiformia^ from their quadrifid 
calyces and multilocular capsules ; the Arti- 
cut.ATA, from their singular calyx; the Brac- 
TEATA, from their hard, coloured internal peta- 
loid fibrillde (and their small number of abbre- 
viated true Jilaments), keeping operi continually 
their lively flowers ; the Megacbphala and 
the Perfoliata, &c. &c. ; might each have 
constituted a distinct genus (and they probably 
are such). But he has hitherto been so effee- 
tually foiled by such insensible shades and inter- 
mediate gradationsof character, amongst species 
even of the same section (the Minima not ex- 
cepted), that he has not yet been able to recon- 
cile their discrepancies, He does not, however, 
completely despair ; and, with hopes of some 
ulterior success from the fbrmation of the cap- 
sules, has again taken all the species into actual 
cultivation, which he can procure, having com- 
menced by collecting the difficult species : but 
he soon found the remainder necessary to elicit 
their full distinctions ; to contrast their charac- 
ters, and combine them effectually ; and to ad- 
vance the science in the manner it deserves. 

But the embodying of so many points (and several 
of them 80 apparently variable) with happy har- 
mony and due coi^ruity, is stil) a task of time. 
And even this is increased by the continual ac« 
cession of new species, requiring even new divi- 
sions. Utltil, therefore, thls still distant period

ariives, the authbr proposes the present im- 
proved distribution of this vast genus, as the re- 
sult of all he «has hitherto, with every advan- 
tage, been able to accomplish. 

It will he found to comprise all the Mesemlryan^ 
^ ihema hitherto discovered or desCribed by the 
author and his friends (above 300 species and 
threescore varieties) ; with an epitomized de- 
scription of the whole ; tracing each species to 
the wofks of Linnseus, or the Arst author on the 
subject after him f and giving to each variety 
such a name as will serve hereafter for a specific 
one, if necessary ; together with a referencc to 

, a published figure, wherever it is practicable. 
And he is happy to add, that in the > course of 
the arrangem^nt, brief as it is^ will be found new , 
matter — many new and unrecorded species— - 
many of swect hues and vivid tints— and some 
of striking and unrivalled beauty ; — together 
with a few still more interesting, from the 
strange construction of their extraordinary 
forms.

pi?ig2iey but more probably to the present spe^^ 
cies as a variety ; and by no means to my 
M. heterophyllum. Neither is the account in 
Bot. rep. in loco^ of the providential distribu- 
tion of tbe seeds of Mesembryanthema quite so 
liew as is there |>resumed, baving been detailed 
at large in 1803, iu Misc. nat. p. 101 and 102. 
. But Dr. Sims'8 paper (cited in Bot. rep. l.c.) 
on the capsules of M. pinnatifidum, in the Me* 
dical Journal for 1799 (the translation only of 
which, in Annals of Botany for Sept. 1804, l 
have seen) , contains the new and interesting 
idea of painting tbe dry and reviviscent capsules 
ornamentally. This may lead to pleasing amuse- 
ments, and I recommend for trial the larger 
(more than inch wide capsules) of M. medium, 
M. pugioniforme^ &c. tastily blended with 
others of every size. Those of M. purpuro^ 
croceumf or its y&v.Jlavo-croceumj are beauti- 
fully tinted of themselves, and migbt remain un- 
^ided. Aud providi?d tbe colours, applted as Dr,

Ob8« ll appears on a recent re-examination and 
eultivation^ that we have five or six species or 
sub-species of dagger-leaved Mesembryanthema 
greatly resembling each other ; but which keep 
distinct from seeds in our gardens, and which . 
eannot indeed be increasedin anyother manner, 
except in the sub-species ramiger, which niay 
perhaps be propagated from its true branches ; 
for I have once known the head of pugioniforme 
grow, cut oif beneath the leaves ; but the plant 
itself, although a fine one, and carefully treated^ 
died in consequence of the decapitation. corus^

Obs. The name of pulckellum for this small spe- 
cics (from its smart little flower) has been ob- 
jected to by judicious botanists, on account of 
tbe rude appearance of its numerous decaying 
hoary and persistent leaves : it therefore now 
assumes the name of canescetis.

Obs. Printed names of plants shouid seldom be 
changed without apology, and never without a 
good reason. And perbaps, the only allowable 
reasonsare, when tbe name is erroneous through 
preoccupation ; or where it misleads through 
some variance with truth. Such^ for instance, 
as the calUng a plant American^ which is not 
indigenous to America ; an annual by a peren- 
iiial name ;,or a flower, yellow, when it is not 
of that colour. And hence the change of the 
present fulvous flowered species (heretofore 
called by us stramineum) to fulvuro, is allow- 
able. The error arose in Syn. succ. p^ 26 1 , on 
our elevating two varieties, given as one species, 

' into two species ; calling the horizontal-Ieaved 
straw-flowered one, horizontale; and leaving 
the other, though a fulvous-flowered one, in 
possession of the speciflc name of stramineum ; 
which (belonging to another)* was wrong; and 
its rectification in the present place should be 
considered as an improvement.

Obs. The beautifully frlnged imbricating leaves of 
these Crassulae have been aptly compared by a 
lady, to a Lobster's tail, which indeed they re- 
semble considerably. The fringes are neat objects 
through a pocket lens^ and almost each hair 
appears to arise from a small bulbous base, and 
to be accompanied with a glandular pellucid 
dot of a different nature, within the very margm 
of the leaf, as in ihe Genera above called Ka-- 
losanifies aud Curiogyne : but the cilia in the 
former genus are very different to a botanic 
eye ; being merely beautiful crystalline globes, 
analogous to the small bulbous bases aboye 
mentioned, but far more crystalline : in .tbe 
latter genus they are reniform : and by those 
shapes alone we can (without flowers) safely 
refer any new species to their proper places^ 
which otherwise in leaf, are extremely similar. 
The CRAssiTL.ii Ciliatce may perhaps them« 
sdves be a Genus, but I have not recently beea 
able to examine their flowers. They have not 
thc long tube of Kalosanthes, and in habit they 
differ from Curtogyne ^ but I know not the 
shapes of their germs aiid btylest 



AddUamenia qtuBdam. Apicra. 201 

TURGOSEA, supra, p. 14. . pertusa. 

This species has flowered again. Its thyrsiferous ]^ 
scapes are now 9 inches high, each with nearly 
40 decussating, gradually lessening upward, 
erect-incurving, foliaceous bractes : the tenth or 
eleventh pair of which bear soUtary shortly pe- 
dicelled flowers in their axillae; the twelfth and 
higher pairs from two to six flowers each ; with 
their pedicelli often elevated on a cominon pe- 
duncle one line in length supported by two fo- 
liaceous bractes loilger rather than the pedun- 
cle.— The superior flowers of the graceful, re- 
verfeely-villose, spike-shaped thyrsus are higher 
than their main bractes, which gradually lessen 
to nothing. The bloom (in the day time only) 
has the sweet fragrance of the Hawthorn'8 blos- 
som, with something more approaching to the 
Heliotrope ; — the leaves and bractes are often 
deeply embued with red, enhancing the beauty 
of the small snowy recurving petals, and reflect- 
ing over them, in peculiar lights, a very soft ro- 
saceous shade. The ordinary squamula is rhom- 
bically obcordate : the germs are green, pressed 
to each other and flattened within, but exter- 
nally gibbous, and nearly the shape of a raisin 
stone, having very short blunt continuous styles, 
and without any apparent stigma, even through 
a common pocket lens.
