The blossom, perhaps the smallest of the genus, dif- fuses a rich, but delicate, fragrance.
Drawn at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, in the King’s Road, Chelsea; where it is in flower for months together.
An upright branching polished shrub, and, in this cli- mate at least, of a palish green: branches stiff, straight, cylindrical, and as well as the underside of the foliage thickly speckled with minute black dotlike calli.

The drawing of this beautiful species was taken last
December in the Kew Garden, by favour of Mr. Aiton. The
plant had been sent by Dr. Wallich from the Caleutta col- lection. Nothing certain is known
but it has been surmised that seed Mauritius to Calcutta, from Madagascar.

Ba
of the native spot;
and that the plant came originally |
=
The figure in Mr. Lindley’s work having been done from a dried sample, the slight failures in its general exactness, when compared with the living plant, are such only as are imputable to that circumstance. The peduncles and umbel are represented upright instead of reflexed, and the bractes and calyx as green and foliaceous instead of faintly coloured and membranous. We do not see however, even in the dried
plant, why the involucre should have been described as.
twofold, instead ofsimple with unequal leaflets, as it really is. We had no opportunity of inspecting a perfect flower ; but our draughtsman assured us that, in the umbel he drew from, no portion of the stigmas appeared above the anthers as in the native samples; a circumstance probably owing to want of force in the individual umbel, the last produced on the plant that season; others had blown nearly two months before. The petals seemed slightly rumpled, somewhat in the way of those of the Poppy.
A copious flow of ropy limpid mucilage followed the cutting asunder of the flowerstalk, affording a striking exemplification of that part of the economy of the order.
A miniature figure of the entire plant (said to grow to a large tree) is placed in our plate by the side of the inflo-
rescence, and also one of the smallest leaves, each of its na- tural size. me « The subject of the article had been referred by Dr. Wallich originall
« {9 PENTAPETES and subsequently to Domprya. To us it seems to dif- « fer much more from those two genera than they do from each other, not « only in general appearance, but in technical character. Not to mention « the great double involucre of AstRapmA, which is at least of as much « importance as the bractew, or outer calyx as they are usually termed, of “ many genera of this order, DomMBEYA and PENTAPETES have an outer « calyx of 3 leaves; AsTRAPa has none; but in its room one large bracte, «« which subtends the calyx properly so called; DomBrya and PENTAPETES
«have an almost expanded corolla; ASTRAP#<A has its petals rolled toge-
«ther like ACHANIA. There is a difference too in the number of stamens, « but this perhaps is not of so much consequence as the great length of their «tube, as compared with the shallow cup of Penrapreres and DoMBEYA. «« The same observations are applicable to PrERosPERMUM (PENTAPETES « of Jussieu), but that has neither bracte nor outer calyx; its flowers are « solitary and its whole habit very different. Whether the seeds of AsTra- « pmwA are winged or not we have no means of judging, except from the _ « ovules, which exhibit no trace of any appendage. The germen appears « to be that of a capsule of a thin rather than a woody nature.” Lindley loc.

The plant of the drawing flowered last December at the garden of Comtesse de Vandes, Bayswater; we believe, for the first time in this country. It had been cultivated in the hothouse ; but Owing either to the dark cold season of the year, or accidental weakness of the plant, the blossom
proved inferior in size and brilliancy of colour to the Indian.
samples we have seen ; though perfect in other respects.
The germen is a small round obsoletely quadrangular granularly roughened silvery-white body, without the slight- est appearance of a quadruple division at the exterior; and
ge #
we should have had no hesitation in allotting the species to Anciospermra, even if it had not been already transferred from GymnospeRmiaA in the last edition of the Hortus Kew- ensis.
Holmskiold is the name or title of a Dane, whose bo- tanical productions, in the opinion of Retzius, have ren- dered it worthy of being communicated to the present genus. The appellation has been criticized as uncouth to our ut- terance, but still we suspect it will be more easily pro- nounced by an Englishman, than the generic one so justly derived from our monosyllable Smith can be by a Dane or indeed any foreigner. y
“ This very elegant plant was brought originally from « China into the Botanic Garden at Calcutta, though native
“‘ of the interior parts of Bengal. In the garden it grows”
“to be a small tree if trained up with a single stem, but
“ if left alone the branches spread far around from the base ©
“ of the stem close to the ground and strike root. ‘The “ bark is ash-coloured and tolerably smooth. The flower- “ ing is in the cold season, when nothing can exceed it in “ beauty.”
“ Branches numerous, brachiate, while young somewhat «‘ 4-sided and a little downy. Leaves opposite, petioled, “ cordate, serrate, long-pointed, a little downy, 3-4 inches “Jong: petioles 3 of the length of the leaf, downy. Pa- “© nicles or compound racemes terminal, brachiate: peduncles “and pedicles a little hairy. Bractes, the longer petioled “ cordate, the smaller lanceolate. Flowers numerous, pretty “large, of a most beautiful scarlet colour, slightly tinged
“ with orange, inodorous. Calyx of one piece, very large,
«< gradually widening into an ample bell, with a slightly « 5-lobed border, coloured like the corolla, permanent. “ Corolla 1-petalled, irregular; tube longer than the calyx, “< projecting with a slight curve downwards; compressed, «‘ widening gradually to the orifice, a little hairy on the in- «side; limb small, 5-parted, under segment larger. Sta- «< mens from the middle of the tube, slightly protruded and “«‘ declined, somewhat downy. -dnthers oval. Germen su- “ perior 4-lobed, 4-celled, 4-seeded, (ovule) attached a < little above the middle. Style declinate in the direction
“of the stamens, and of the same length. Stigma acute,.
“slightly two-parted. Capsule 4-lobed, 4-partible, each
“ lobe obliquely turbinate, clavate, wrinkled, the size of a “small Lentil, one-celled, one-valved, of a thick soft * spongy substance, and dark brownish black colour: seed “conformed to the interior of the cell 3 integument single, ** pretty thick white soft and tough ; albumen none; embryo “erect, of an almondlike substance; cotyledons -2, oval,
“thick; plumule small lunulate; radicle oval, inferior.” Roxb. MSS.
Introduced in 1796, by Mr. Peter Good. Dr. Rox- burgh mentions a second species, found wild in Silhet, and names it scandens, though he doubts its being really dis- tinct from sanguinea, and suspects the apparent difference to lie between the wild and the cultivated states of the two plants. bs

No species of this genus appears to have been introduced before the present ; which was lately raised by Mr. Ander- son at the Physic Garden, Chelsea, from seed from Tri- nidad.
VOL, IX, Cc
The drawing was taken in Mr. Colvill’s hothouse, in the King’s Road; where the plant exceeded 14 or 15 feet in length, and divided into numerous branches, twined toge- ther by their growth in the way of a rope, on which a multitude of short lateral flowerbearing branchlets ap- peared in succession for two months together or more. The stem and lower part of the principal branches were destitute of leaves...
The character of ‘ many-flowered racemes” has been in- truded by Willdenow upon the original specific definition of the species, and is incorrect; the branchlets being in fact ge- nerally 3-flowered, sometimes 5-flowered. A Guiana sample, the prototype of Aublet’s species, has been deposited in Mr. Brown’s Herbarium, where there is also another. from Tri- nidad, having somewhat narrower leaves.
The foliage has been usually described as smooth, and - isso on the under side, but on the upper we could perceive a minute nap scarcely observable by the naked eye, and probably deciduous. The hairs that crown the mouth of the tube of the corolla, as well as those that beard the lower part of the interior, are numerously jointed. The stem and branches are of a flexible tough wood coyered with a smooth extremely pale bark. The shrub forms al- together an ornamental climber for the trellis and columns of a hothouse.

A genus apparently confined to southern Africa, no
‘species having been yet discovered but in the colony and
adjoining districts of the Cape of Good Hope. c 2
The present plant has been lately introduced by Mr. Burchell, who considers it an unpublished species, not be- ing probably aware of the one of which we deem it a mem- ber. To us the two plants seem to differ no otherwise than in the dimension of the foliage, which is rather larger in Jacquin’s plant than in ours; a difference we suspect en- tirely owing to that in the ages of their bulbs: we have recorded however the two as varieties, and others may dispose of them as they think best. —
- The drawing was taken in the greenhouse at Mr. Col- vill’s Nursery, in the King’s Road; from a plant that had been raised two years before from seed obtained from Mr.
‘Burchell. The blossom was fragrant. :

A scarce annual plant, of about three or four feet in height, introduced into our hothouses by M.Thouin in 1776; but.we believe long since lost. ‘The sample for: the drawine was kindly furnished us by Mr. Barker Webb, who had: raised it from seed gathered in the Botanic Garden of Count Parolini, at Bassano.
According to M. Cassini, from whose writings we trans- late the generic character and specific description, the spe- cies has a wide range, having been observed on the banks of the Nile, near Rosetta, as well as in India and Mada- gascar. There is a native Egyptian sample deposited by Forskil in Mr. Brown’s Herbarium.
The Rue-like scent exhaled by the plant is supposed to proceed from the glandular corpuscles dispersed over the whole plant, and very thickly over the germens.
The species, divaricata and Sparganophora, are excluded by M. Cassini; the first under the generic title Epa.rss, the second under that of SparGanopHorus.
We have already enumerated the Tribes under which the Composite: are distributed by M. Cassini (see vol. 7. fol. 532). The characters of these divisions have been combined from _ the following parts of the plant and in the following order — of precedence in respect to importance: 1.the style with stigma and its collectors; 2. the stamens; 3. the florets ; 4. the germen and its appurtenances; coupled always with the assumption that the parts of those florets that have perfect stamens and pistil are alone available for this purpose.’ The stigma, the most important distinction in the greatest portion of the tribes, is considered. by, M. Cassini a sole part; the smooth substance which either borders or covers the inner surface of the two branches of the style (stigmatophores) and is usually confluent at the — fork, being alone accounted as such. The variously modified _ efflorescences that occupy the outer and remaining surface _ of these branches, or as they have! been usually considered by others, separate stigmas, constitute the collectors of M. Cassini, and are so called from gathering the pollen in their ascent along the common axis of the united anthers.
The generic characters are selected from the seedcrown (pappus), the composition of the common corolla, ‘the ca- lyx, and the receptacle; recourse being had in complex and intercurrent affinities to the cou inRsmen of analogies drawn: from other parts.
The above principles are manifestly the result’ ‘of a-com- prehensive investigation conducted with eminent sagacity and industry, and will be found in practice to. comprize much. original resource for the Botanist. -The various. sec- tions and genera assorted from them appear .to us both na~ tural and useful, and such as will be generally adopted ; we trust however without the fantastical. and capriciously. novel phraseology yu ech their definitions. abound in the French. ep Z

_ The fine blossom of this newly imported species made its first appearance, we believe, last summer in several of our gardens together.
The drawing was taken from Mr. Hood's collection, Vauxhall Road; where it is cultivated in the hothouse.
We were favoured with an excellent representation of the entire plant, by Mrs. Harrison, from a sample raised from Brazil seed, at Aigburgh, near Liverpool, in 1821. We re- gret, notwithstanding the size was too large for our work, we had not inserted a diminished outline of that draw- ing; the divaricated flexure of the branches, evidently a specific habit, being skilfully characterized in it. In our plate there is room only for the termination of the branches with their flowers of the natural size, and these are shown upright; but in their place on the plant they termi-
nate the recurvedly divaricated branch, and incline down- wards as well as the flower. .
The species is of the same division as Cactus speciosus
already figured in this work (v. 4. fol. 304). It has how- ever several peculiar features, of which a ringently slanted reflexed expansion of the flower, ascending stamens, and crescentwise foreshortened joints of the branches seem the most: prominent.
_ Stem very short, soon and Saeils divided ; branches widely and divaricately extended, horizontally recurved, foliaceously compressed, the edges perpendicular, glaucous, jointed, the joints cuneately oblong, lunately truncate at the upper end, about an inch long, with a few irregular axillary pencilled notches at the edges..

Introduced by Mr. Brown in 1805, who found it in the marshes of Botany Bay, within a few miles of Port Jack- son, where however it is far from abundant and may be reckoned one of the rarer species. In this country it has seldom flowered, and we are obliged to Mr. Miller, nursery- man at Bristol, for the communication of the only live sample we have ever seen in bloom.
An upright shrub somewhat more than three feet high with smooth branches and petioles. Leaves partly scatter- ed, partly whorled, leathery, stiff, about three inches long by 3 of an inch broad, cuneately oblong, somewhat trun- cated, tapered at the lower part, toothedly sawed, the in-

dentation not reaching to the middle, somewhat recurved at the edge, ribbed underneath and reticulately veined, the uppermost often disposed in whorls of threes and fours. Flowerheads terminal, solitary, elongatedly cylindrical (four inches long and rather more than one in diameter), sticky to the feel from the honeyed liquid that overruns the co- rollas. Lower extrafloral bractes of the flowerheads larger, unequal, elongated, few, close-pressed, dark brown, thick obtuse and tomentose: interfloral ones shaggily furred and of a reddish rusty brown colour. Corolla sericeous, little more than half an inch long; ungues pale greenish yellow; blades ovally oblong, tawny yellow. Style pale, smooth, scarcely at all enlarged at the end, hardly longer than the corolla: stigma scarcely thicker, short, conical, ob- ‘tuse, white, smooth.

An unpublished species found by Mr. Cunningham in the interior of New Holland; and raised in this country from seed sent home by that indefatigable and intelli- gent collector. The drawing was taken from a plant that flowered this winter in the conservatory of Comtesse de Vandes, at Bayswater; the first, we believe, that has blos- somed here.
A-stout upright soft furred shrub of a cinereous or grey- ish green hue, and of which we cannot conjecture the sta- ture it may hereafter acquire; divaricately branched at the
v2
upper part, where it forms a thickly leaved bushy head : branches round closishly leaved shaggy flowerbearing at the upper part. Leaves numerous, sessile, scattered, shaggy, halved-elliptic, lanceolate, suberectly spreading, flatwise
‘perpendicular, obliquely pointed from the inner side, awned,
the awn terminating the outer and straighter edge of the leaf, one-nerved (the nerve equidistant from both edges), from 4 to 3 of an inch long and about three times narrower.
Stipules minute, ovate, rusty red, caducous. Flowers yel-
low, in heads: heads globular, several in a raceme or some- times solitary, smaller than a middle-sized. pea; racemes axillary at the upper part of the branches, numerous, longer than the leaves, stiff, outspread, with several loosely set flowerheads ; pedicles scattered towards the top of the com-
‘mon peduncle or axis, stout, round, furred, whitish green, about the length of the diameter of the flowerheads. Calyx -minute, tomentose, white, 5-cleft. Petals 5, straw-coloured, _considerably longer than the calyx, unguiculate with a lan-
ceolately elliptical lamina, slightly hairy on the outside. Stamens deep yellow, twice the length of the petals: anthers
‘twin-globular. — Style deep yellow, twice thicker than the
filaments, inserted on one side the summit of the germen. Germen quite smooth, subtrapezoid, oblong, compressed, tapered towards one edge, nearly transparent, blunt at both ends.

_ This very singular species is said to have been cultivated in the days of Miller, in the Physic Garden, Chelsea. The plant is known to have been introduced into the gardens of Holland more than a century ago; and there is a sample in Mr. Brown’s Herbarium that flowered at Kew, where the plant had been obtained from Guiana. The specimens ‘in’ Holland came from Surinam; and Miller’s probably from some Dutch collection. Our drawing was taken from a plant that flowered last December in the hothouse of Mr. Lee of the Hammersmith Nursery, and had been imported from Maranhao, in the Brazils. . gh If smelled near, upon the first opening of the spathe, vomiting and even fainting sometimes ensue from the stench. Linnzeus says, the fetor is so overwhelming “ wé olfacientes attonitos redderet et catalepticos.” No sooner however have the anthers shed their pollen than the noxious odour ceases. /
The flowers of the spike are crowded together in such way that the stamens are pressed close round the style, which being from its original conformation at least as long again as these, the stigma at its end is necessarily placed beyond the influence of the anthers of its own corolla. To countervail this seeming defect, the style is bent conna- turally in such way as to bring the stigma at its summit into the midst of the anthers of an adjoining flower; and when these have shed their pollen, that organ is seen to re- lax gradually from its flexure to a nearly upright position —
‘within its proper flower. At least such was the process we observed in the uppermost flowers of the spike of the pre- sent sample.
_ The spathe is much smaller and of a far darker colour in the earlier stage of its appearance than afterwards. It continues to fade to a duller rusty brown until all the flowers of the spike are decayed, while the upper portion bends gradually downwards until it closes thé whole open
ing of the front. When purposely extended, after the bloom was over, we found it to measure nine inches in length by six in breadth.
The curiously mottled leafstalk looks more like a stem than what it really is. It is after the entire decay of the foliage that the inflorescence appears.
Dracontium ranks in the second division of Aroidew of Mr. Brown’s Prodromus, differing from the first division in having the stamens and pistil within the same corolla, and not situated on distinct parts of the spadix without any corolla, as in Arum and Carapium. The third division comprises the Typha of Jussieu, and is very distinct from, the other two.

Not more than three of the above species have been
introduced into our gardens. It is worthy of notice, con-—
sidering the frequent intercourse with the colony, that hun- dreds of species of fine and curiously flowered Lilacee, Ensate, and Orchidee, growing in the neighbourhood of Cape Town, should never have been imported into our botanical establishments; while from far more distant and sequestered quarters there has been introduced a much larger relative proportion of the species of those natural orders.

Introduced into our hothouses from Jamaica about 1806, by the late Mr. E. I. A. Woodford, but continues a very scarce plant ; nor had we met with it for many years before this winter, when it flowered in the garden of the Horti- cultural Society, where the drawing was taken.
The species comes the nearest of any to speciosa, in which however the leaves are undulate and not glaucous, the stem and flowers entirely smooth, the corolla of a much brighter red without the elongated pouch in front, the column bearded in front, the stigma without a prominent nether lip, and the stem at least three times shorter.
In orchioides the stem is two feet high or more, and as well as the inflorescence covered with a frizzl¥ pubes- cence and appears before the leaves, which are glaucous and not undulated. The corolla terminates downwards in a short thick oblong pouch parallel with the front of the germen, which pouch is formed by the elongated bases of the two outer side-petals enclosing the elongated frizzly bearded base of the label. The column is entirely smooth in front; and the stigma has a prominently recurved nether lip. In speciosa the anther does not occupy the whole space in the back of the column, but in orchioides it does,
The drawing in Curtis's Magazine has been taken from a plant in a very different state from the one represented in the present plate, if it is really of the same species. Ours is clearly the orchioides of Swartz.

Don MSS. TE nes cone ney ee eee aan aera The points relied upon by M. de Candolle in separating
Manonia from Berseris are, the absence of the glands of the petals and the presence of the teethlike appendages of
ee
teeta be
the filaments: the first grounded solely upon the adop- tion of an error originating with Mr. Nuttall, who had overlooked the glands; the other not constant in thé genus, as proved by the-samples:‘of Manonta nepalensis i0 the Lambertian Herbarium, where the filaments are simple. In respect to the difference of habit arising from the une- qually pinnated foliage of the group proposed for MaHont4y it has been as acutely as judiciously remarked to us by Mr Brown, that the footstalk of the simple leaf of all Berbe-— rides is jointed, a modification known in many. cases, pal-— ticularly in Jasminee, to be a natural step in the pro- gressive transition from the simple to the pinnated. or com=- pound state of foliation. In Berserts tragacanthoides an caraganefolia, although the leaf consists of one or tw0- pair of leaflets without the odd one at the end, the plac? — of that odd one is nevertheless supplied by a trifid spine The germen is certainly one-celled and not three-celled, a5 asserted by Pursh. The result of the review of these as-— sumed distinctions proving such, we cannot but feel with Mr. Brown that they afford no. pretence for following out the separation of Manonra from Berperis, and we hav? consequently considered them of the same genus.
The introduction of this highly ornamental shrub is due — to Mr. Lambert, who raised it from seed sent to him by | Professor Lagasca from the Botanic Garden at Madrid, _ where it had been obtained from seed collected at Monterey, — on the coast of California, by Don Louis Née, the natu-— ralist of the expedition under the command of the ill-fated Malespina. The species has been also observed by Messrs: Humboldt and Bonpland near Moran, in Mexico, at the height of 1340 fathom above the level of the sea.
Two plants of the shrub are now (March) covered. with their golden fragrant blossom in, the greenhouse at Boyton, where they have attained the height of five or six feet. Don MSS. .

reversed by a half turn of either the germen or pedicle, 4 secondary process consequent upon expansion. In the pre- sent genus no such process takes place, and the corolla re- tains its connatural position till it decays.
It was in this genus that the middle petal of the lower lip had been mistaken by Swartz for the label of the corolla, and the mistake rectified by Mr. Brown, who has shown the helmet-shaped petal at the back of the flower to be the true label; a part always determinable by its position in
relation to the germen, being the middle petal of the three
inner ones, all opposite to the three valves of the germen, while the three outer ones are opposite to the three in- tervening prominent riblike sutures. The label is usually different from the other petals, either in consistence, form, or colour; sometimes in all three ways.
We are convinced that the species before us is the same with Saryrium erectum of Thunberg’s Flora Capensis, though possibly different from the plant intended by Swartz under that name.
The drawing of this rare and handsome-flowered vege- table was taken in the greenhouse of Mr. Lee at Hammer- smith; where it had been imported from the Cape of Good Hope, the native place of the species.
We doubt much whether Saryrium parviflorum of Swartz (Orcuis bicornis, Jacq. hort. Schanb. 2. 26. t. 179) is distinct from Satyrium cucullatum (fol. 416) of this work, which is certainly Orcuis bicornis of the first edition of Hortus Kewensis, and Satyrium cucullatum of the se- cond. We believe several of the recorded species of this genus are mere iterations. .
hag ‘Dispersed in some of the earlier yolumes of “ ‘The Jour-
nal of Science and the Arts” will be found sixteen coloured representations taken from the living plants of as many
rare and curious species of Orchidew belonging to the Cape —
of Good Hope, all of them executed with great accuracy, The original drawings are in Mr. Brown’s library; but the name of the meritorious Dutch artist, who drew them for Mr. Masson, the then King’s collector, is unknown. (See last page of fol. 700.).

The plants we presume to be the nearest kindred of the genus have been noticed in the article Asprpisrra lurida (fol. 628) of this publication; beyond them we suspect the direction points towards Dracana and others of Jus- siew’s Asparagi.
_ Turistra squalida was introduced into the hothouses of this country about ten years ago by Mr. Loddiges; and is said to belong to Amboyna. ‘The technical name we have applied to the species, on the publication of the genus in Curtis's Magazine, had been suggested by a faded sample of the inflorescence, and proves disparaging to the true ap- pearance of the blossom when fresh, in which state how- ever it endures but for a short time, fading from a lively French-grey to a sombre yellowish hue. |
Leaves much higher than the scape, of a bright sap- green, membranous, nearly upright, stiffened by a midrib, elongatedly lanceolate, closely nerved, deeply tapered down- wards to a narrow channelled petiolelike base, 14 to 2 feet
high and from 4 to 5 inches broad where widest, all radical —
with their bases compactly alternately and imbricately ambient at the crown of the conical hardfleshed stoloni- ferous rootstock. Scape radical, nearly cylindrical, re- clinedly ascending, robust, rigid, solid. Flowers in a closish scattered spike without scent. Bractes membranous,
twin, lanceolate; one close-pressed to the front of the
flower and equal to it in length; the other interior close- pressed to one side of the flower, of the same shape with, but several times smaller than, that in front. Corolla as= cending, firm and fleshy, hemispherically campanulate, 6- cleft less than half way down; limb spreading and faintly bilabiate, segments obtuse recurved with a reflex border, the middlemost of the three lowermost less than the other, more pointed and farther reflexed: the upper side of the corolla is flattened and sunk by pressure against the axis of the spike, and its sides rendered sharp and prominent. dn- thers small, sessile, peltately fixed to the base of the seg- ments, bilocular, roundish facing inwards, whitish. Piés¢il urceolately elongated, whitish, higher than the uncleft por- tion of the corolla. Style an obtusely 3-cornered piped shaft several times higher than the germen, but equal to it in diameter. Germen green, oblately rounded, even with- out streak or furrow solid, 3-celled with two pencilled ovules attached to the base of each cell. up

There is some difference in the representation of this plant in Jacquin’s work from the one before us, but we really believe the apparent difference arises principally from the upper portion of Jacquin’s plant being withered before opening. An accident prevented our being able to exa- mine the subject so accurately as we wished. ‘The species has been called rosacea by Jacquin, not from the colour of the spathe, but from the form into which the valves of the spathe expand at the upper withered end in his sample. We do not believe that Spadix erectus and Spadix nutans are available marks of distinction. Introduced from the Mauritius by Sir Joseph Banks in 1805. Drawn at the Bayswater collection belonging to Comtesse des Vandes, where the plant flowered in ‘the winter.
«©The Banana or Plantain is generally considered to be «of Indian origin; Baron Humboldt, however, has lately “ suggested that several species of Musa may possibly be “ confounded under the names of Plantain and Banana, “and that part of these species may be supposed to be in- “ digenous of America. How far the general tradition “ said to obtain both in Mexico and Terra Firma, as well © as the assertion of Garcilasso della Vega respecting Peru, “ may establish the fact of the Musa having been cultivated

«in the new continent before the arrival of the Spaniards,
«Ido not mean at present to inquire: but in opposition to “the conjecture referred to, it may be advanced that there “ is no circumstance in the structure of any of the states of “‘ the Banana or Plantain, cultivated in India or the islands “ of equinoctial Asia, to prevent their being all considered «as merely varieties of one and the same species, namely “«‘ Musa sapientum; that their reduction to a single species “ is even confirmed by the multitude of varieties that exist; «by nearly the whole of these varieties being destitute of «seeds; and by the existence of a plant indigenous to the < continent of India (Musa sapientum. Roxb. corom. t.275);
“ producing perfect seeds; from which, therefore, all of
«‘ them may be supposed to have sprung.
«To these objections to the hypothesis ‘of the plurality “of species of the Banana, may be added the argument <« yeferred to* as contributing to establish its Asiatic origin;
< for we are already acquainted with at least five distinct
«‘ species of Musa in equinoctial Asia, while no other spe- < cies has been found in America; nor does it appear that «¢ the varieties of the Banana, cultivated in that continent, “ may not equally be reduced to Musa sapientum as those < of India: and lastly, it is not even asserted that the types << of any of those supposed species of American Banana, « srowing without cultivation, and producing perfect seeds,
_“ have any where been found. .
« That the Bananas now cultivated in equinoctial Africa “came originally from India, appears to me equally pro- —
<bable, though it may be allowed that the Ensere of Bruce «< (trav. 5. 36.) is perhaps a distinct species of this genus, « and indigenous only to Africa.” Brown, botany of Congo, 51, 52. Sp eee
- We have added to the drawing of the inflorescence of the natural size, another plate containing an outline of the whole plant in flower. sie ain * «“ Namely, that in doubtful cases, where other arguments were equal,
<¢ it would appear more probable that the plant in question should belong to « that country in which all the other species of the same genus were found de-
« cidedly indigenous, than to that where it was the only species of the same _
« genus known to exist.” Brown. '

Native of Mexico, and originally sent from thence to the Botanic Garden at Madrid, from whence the seed was
brought into this country in 1798, by the late Lady Bute. ,
The drawing was taken from a plant raised by Mr. Barker Webb, from seed procured from the botanic esta- blishment of Count Parolini at Bassano. We had never met with it in any of the nurseries about London.
It is a hardy annual, usually flowering in the autumn. The flower reminds one of that of some of the small Rup- BECKI; the foliage has been likened to that of a VERBESINA or a BIpENs. 2
The species does not seem to have fallen in the way of Messrs. Humboldt and Bonpland during their botanical re- searches in Mexico, no mention being made of it in the «* Nova Genera et Species” of M. Kunth.
The seed of the disk is described as cuneately compress- ed with a naked top; of the ray as turbinate and crowned with three subulate teeth. We have not ventured to place it in any of the five sections under which M. Cassini has’ attributed his tribe of Helianthee, not having had an op- portunity of inspecting any part of the plant ourselves. The names of these sections are, 1. Heliantheaw-heleniew : 2. Helianthee-coreopsidee: 3. Helianthew-prototypee: 4. Helianthew-rudbeckiee : 5. Helianthea-milleriee. Each of which is distinctly characterized in yol. 20. p. 347. of Dictionnaire des Sciences naturelles.
—>—
___ By the later Volumes of the “ Dictionnaire des Sciences naturelles” we find that Hetianruus has been distributed by M. Cassini under three subgenera (definite sections of a genus with a title not necessarily independent of the principal one); and that genus happening to have been exemplified in the present work by three species, each of which falls under a distinct section of this new arrangement, we shall take the opportunity of a vacant leaf to add some account of them, with versions of their characters from the French text, keeping as clear as we can of the inexpedient neology
of the original.

This is the principal or prototype section, and consists
of about thirty recorded species, the great majority of which belong to America. In them the root is almost always perennial, the stem generally herbaceous, often very tall, rarely of a woody consistence, the leaves sometimes oppo- Site, sometimes alternate, commonly three-nerved or with a triple-branched nerve, frequently rigid and roughened like shagreen, the flowers yellow and usually disposed in co- rymbs. It is discriminated from Harpatium and Leieuta, the other two sections, by a pappus of two jointed opposite caducous pales, by a two-ranked calyx which is higher than the disk of the corolla, and composed of herbaceous irregularly imbricated concentrically diminishing squar- rosely diverging leaflets. This group is exemplified by Hz- LIANTHUS pubescens (vol. 7. fol. 524.) of our Register.
Il. HARPALIUM. Cor. radiata: disco hermaphrodito numerdso re- gulari; radio neutro simpliciligulato. Cal. hemisphzericus, arcté imbricatus, disco brevior, foliolis subcoriaceis ovalibus obtusis inappendiculatis. Recept. convexum, paleis subfoliaceis, disco brevioribus, semiamplectentibus, ob- longis, obtusis. Germina compressa, obovato-oblonga, hispida: pappus membranaceus uniseriato-pluripaleaceus caducus, paleis 2 magnis uno antico altero postico, reliquis lateralibus parvulis oblongis. Radiz flosculis ligula lata, stylus 0, pseudo-germ. ovulo nullo. Cass. 1. c. 20. 300; (é gall. vers.)
This section is distinguished from the first and last by a one-ranked pappus of several paleaceous radii, a hemi- spherical calyx of coriaceous closely and regularly imbri- cated unappendicled leaflets shorter than the disk of the corolla, and by the round-pointed palez of the receptacle. It consists at present of three published species, viz. aureum (Heurantauus aureus. Kunth nov. gen. et spec.), truxillense H. truxillensis. Kunth l. c.), and rigidum, which is the Henianruus atrorubens (vol. 6. fol. 508.) of the present
publication. It seems that M. Cassini was utterly unap-
prized of the true synonymy of the species.
Tl. LEIGHIA. Cor. radiata: disco hermaphrodito, multifloro, tegu- lari; radio neutro simplici ligulato. Cal. turbinatus, altior disco, foliolis numerosis, regularitér et arcté imbricatis, oblongis, coriaceis, appendice terminatis herbaceo foliiformi lanceolato 1-nervi recurvo-patente. Recept. convexissimum y. conoideum, pauld elevatum, paleis membranaceo-foliaceis, brevioribus disco, amplectentibus, lanceolatis.

germen longum, stylus 0, ligula emarginata. Cuss, l. c, 25, 435; (¢ gall.
vers. ) VOL. IX. G
Latcura differs from the preceding sections or subgenera by a one-ranked pappus of several permanent radii or pieces, of which two are large, opposite, filiform and 3-cor- nered, the rest small and paleaceous (chaffy); as well as by a calyx higher than the disk of the corolla and com- posed of regularly imbricated close-pressed leaflets, each of which is surmounted by a large recurvedly spreading appendage resembling the leaves of the plant. There are three published. species that belong here: 1. elegans, the Hewtanruus linearis (vol. 7. fol. 523.) of this Register, of the synonymy of which M. Cassini seems to have had only an uncertain knowledge: 2. bicolor, the Heiantuus angus- _ tifolius of Linnzeus: 3. microphylla, the Heutanraus micro- phyllus of Kunth. (Vid. nov. gen. et spec. 4. 220. t. 375.).
The genus Vicurera of Kunth is said by M. Cassini to differ from his Harparrum and Lerexra only by its one- ranked calyx and elevated conical receptacle. He suspects moreover that Henanruus parviflorus of Kunth, with a ca- lyx very near to that of Vicurera, but a pappus and recep- tacle of the true HruAnruus, may form a fourth subgenus; for which however he proposes no name. ; ;

We have to regret the having been unable to avail our- Selves of the opportunity of adding a detailed description Of this interesting species; amply distinguishable from its Congeners by several striking peculiarities, but most curi-
ously by the two downy curled appendages that spring
from the lowermost termination of the upper bearded por- tion of each of the filaments. The anthers are greenish, and coil themselves backwards so as ultimately to form a
Complete circle.
_ The plant belongs to New Zealand, and had been origi- Nally observed by Sir Joseph Banks and Dr. Solander, during their well-known voyage. There is a figure of it in
r. Brown’s collection, done by the draughtsman who ac- Companied that expedition ; but the species was only known
to the public by the short record we have cited from Forster's ‘Work, till now introduced into our gardens by the way of
New Holland, where the seed had been carried from New ealand.
i
_ The drawing was taken at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, in the King’s Road, Chelsea; where the plant had been raised from imported seed, and flowered last April in the con-— servatory.

A small shrub with a delightfully fragrant blossom, just introduced by Mr. Basington of the Kingsland Nursery, where the drawing was taken in March last. It is said to have come from China in company with the variety of CAMELLIA japonica, No. 708, in the present fasciculus.
«
We have placed our plant in the present genus, it being clearly a congener of a Nepalese sample, deposited by Dr. Buchanan in Mr. Lambert's Herbarium under the title Sympxocos cratewgoides, which differs principally in having a shorter broader nearly round leaf and blunt calycine leaf- lets. But neither species can belong to Sympxocos if our view of the structure of the germen is correct, and indeed the
plants seem altogether of a different habit from those species
which are at present allotted to Symprocos. We believe they will be to be formed into a separate genus by some one who has a closer knowledge of their natural affinities
_than we, owing to accidental causes, are enabled at pre-
sent to acquire. In a future article we shall probably return to the subject ; which is certainly an interesting one.
Mr. Brown has separated the first division of Jussieu’s Guaiacane into a distinct order, by the title Ebenacee
(prod. 1. 524.) ; of these our plant is clearly no coordinate.

“ RHAMNEH. Into this order I admit such genera only as have the germen cohering more or less with the tube of the calyx, of which the laciniz have a valvular estivation ; . stamina equal in number to these lacinie, and alternating with them; a germen with two or three cells and a single erect ovulum in each; an erect embryo generally placed in the axis of a fleshy albumen or entirely without albumen: the petals, which are opposite to the stamina, and inclose the antherze in the concave laminz, are in some cases want-
ing.”
« With these characters Ruamnus, ZizipHus, Panrurus, ' Ceanotuus (from which Pomapgerris is hardly distinct), CotuetTia, Crypranpra, Puyzrca, Gouanta, VENTILAGO, and probably Hoventa, correspond. In comparing this descrip- tion of Ruamnez with that of Burrnsriacea formerly given, they will be found to coincide in so many important points, that the near relationship of these orders cannot be doubted, and thus an unexpected affinity seems to be proved between RuamNne# and Matvacez.”
“ In Terra Australis upwards of thirty species of Ruam- NE, belonging to Zizipnus, Ceanoruus, Pomaperris, Con- LETIA, and Crypranpra, have been observed, and chiefly in its principal parallel or southern regions.”— Brown in Flind. voy.2. 554.

Native of China. In many points of its general habit an anomaly not only among our European species, but even compared with the only Chinese one yet known in our gardens, viz. Lonicera japonica, figured in the first volume of our Register. The nature of the fragrance is entirely distinct from any European plant, and resembles that peculiar to tropical plants. Quite new to our collec- tion, where it has been lately introduced by Mr. Tate, of the Sloane Square Nursery. A greenhouse plant, extremely fragrant.

. In Redouté’s Liliacées our plant has been considered distinct from the well-known Belladonna-Lily : judging for Surselves, we are inclined to believe it a variety. We “an find no technically available distinction ; and there are Several intermediate acknowledged varieties that have per-
suaded us of the inexpediency of separating the two with- out actual proof.
(G) is a known native of the Cape of Southern Africa, and has been frequently imported from the Cape of Good Hope. We have no doubt that («) is from the same re- gion, and that its supposed West Indian origin has arisen entirely from its having been mistaken for the plant of Sloane, Hermann, Swartz, and others, who have in view AMARYLLIS equestris, long confounded with AmMAryuus Bel- ladonna.
The drawing was taken at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, where the plant flowers freely and ripens seed.

An unrecorded plant from the interior of New South Wales, where it was lately observed and sent to England by Mr. Cunningham, the zealous and intelligent investigator of the objects of natural history found in the newly ex- plored inland parts of those regions.
Comes very close to Pancratium amboinense, admirably figured by Mr. Sydenham Edwards in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine (1419); but is altogether a smaller plant, where the short crown of the flower is sixparted to the very bot- tom, which is not the case in the other species.
Drawn at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery in the King’s Road. A hothouse plant.

a The Scasiosa tomentosa of Cavanilles, which agrees in several respects with the present species, differs from it however in being less pubescent, in having a minuter foli- age, and the segments of the radical leaves cuneate and deeply crenate, and those of the stem linear, simple or
divided; the leaflets of the involucre are likewise linear, subulate and pointed, and the florets of the circumference radiate, larger and irregular. Scaxrosa sphaciotica of Ree- mer and Schulte’s Systema Vegetabilium, the S. tomentosa of Smith’s Flora Greeca, differs also in the leaves being all pinnatifid with ovate segments mostly entire, as well as in having a woody stem. ‘The only other recorded species from which it is necessary to distinguish our present plant is Scasiosa argentea of Linnzeus; there again the florets of the circumference are radiate, the leaflets of the involucre pointed and longer than the florets, and the leaves all pinnately divided with deep-cut segments.
We have named the species after Mr. Barker Webb, who gathered it in Phrygia, on the summit of Mount Ida, together with a curious new Dianruus, in the month of October 1819. A pretty considerable Herbarium was formed by that gentleman during his journey in the Levant, containing many yet unrecorded species. We have yen-. tured to propose a new division of the genus Scaziosa, or subgenus to which we have affixed the old appellation of Asterocephalus. ‘This division will include part only of the Asterocephali of Lagasca. ahem

Flowers villous outside, uniformly white, turning green where wounded,
3-2 inches long. Germen 14 inch long, more than an inch longer than the corolla, and one third longer than the spur. Corolla outspread, radiate, nearly regular, two in- ner segments narrowest. Label twice the length of the corolla, continuous with the lower side of the apex of the column, and resembling an appendage to that part, out- spread, 3-parted, lower side-lobes divaricate, entire, shorter, middle furcately bifid like the letter Y, segments blunt, the whole turning to a cream-colour before it fades away. Column short, thick, turbinate: anther incumbent along the upper side of the summit of the column; bilocular: pollen masses 8, parallel, linear-spatulate (the shape of -Harlequin’s sword in miniature), compressed, white ; stig- ma 2-lobed, shining, recuryedly prominent, hid beneath the prominent pistil.
The name of CananrHE was proposed for this genus, and its separation from Limoporum and Buerta, in a former article of this work, by Mr. Brown.

We find the species also In the Lambertian Herbarium, from the collection of the Celebrated botanical traveller Don José Pavon, the asso- -Clate of Ruiz in the investigation of the plants of Peru.
_ Cultivated in the hothouse. For the excellent descrip- tion we are indebted to the very intelligent Secretary of the Linnean Society, to whose kindness we have often had Tecourse. re:

This species was sent to the Horticultural Society in 1823, from Peru, where it was collected, with many other
curious plants, by Mr. Cowan. It flowered in a cold frame in May. ‘ q
The flowers close in the evening, or in the shade, in the same: manner as those of Crocus: a singular circum- stance, which, we believe, has not been noticed in any other species of Amaryllis. Lindley MSS.
Bulbs small, round, black. Leaves fascicled, linear, flat, quite smooth, fleshy, bright green, of from two to eight inches long. Scape shorter than the leaves, compressed, one-flowered. Spathe membranous, opened on one side, twice shorter than the flower. Flower without scent, up- right, peduncled, not sitting upon the scape. Corolla white, greenish below, petals ovate, nearly even, obtuse, half opened in the shade, wide opened in the sunshine,
closing at night, always however with tips incurved, as in Crocus, tube very short. Stamens more than twice shorter than the petals, inserted at the faux of the corolla, ascend- ently spread, not bent downwards, even. Anthers attached by the back, not vibrating. Séyle declined, rather longer than the stamens. Stigma 3-lobed, not trifid, lobes close pressed, not spreading. Germen 3-celled: ovules fleshy, in two rows.

‘A genus established by Messrs. Ruiz and Pavon, as- sociates in the celebrated journey destined to the in- vestigation of the Flora of Chili and Peru. ‘The species — before us is figured from the dried plant, in the work published by those meritorious naturalists on their return from that expedition ; and now from the live plant, which
VOL. IX. aiet M
f
has flowered for the first time in this country, in the collec- tion of Dowager Lady Tankerville, at Walton upon Thames. We had no opportunity of describing it, and have trusted to the description contained in the Flora Peruviana+
An herbaceous hothouse plant, covered with a pu- bescence of longish hairs terminated by a gland. Root finely fibrous. Stem two feet high, slightly branched, round. Branches alternate, alike. Leaves alternate, shortly petioled, brokenly pinnated: Jeaflets sessile; larger ones jaggedly pinnated; Jesser lanceolate, entire. Flowers in panicles: pedicles \-flowered, filiform, supported at the base by two small lanceolate bractes. Corolla blueish violet : upper lip variegated, lower with purple stripes. Filaments stiff, upright, villous. Stigma notched. Capsule 2-celled, 2-valved: valves bipartite.
An undue importance seems to have been given by Jussieu, in the combination of orders, to the posture of the partition in a plurilocular seedvessel, in relation to the valves of the same (whether that is opposite to these or parallel with them), and has induced him to separate orders in every other respect too closely akin to admit of detachment: for instance, Rhododendra from Ericw and Pediculares from Scrophularie; and it is justly observed by Mr. Brown, that although the above character will commonly serve for the distinction of genera, it never can of itself be sufficient to distinguish orders; a proof - of which may be had in several genera of the present family, especially in Veronica, where almost every kind of dehiscence takes place among the yarious species.

An unrecorded species; drawn from the collection of Mr. Griffin, at South Lambeth. Native of South America.
It is very nearly related to Oncidium carthaginense, from which it is nevertheless essentially distinguished by the different shape of its flowers, and by having its upper petal — shaped like those next it, and not galeate and incumbent upon the column as in O. carthaginense. It also seems to differ from the latter species in not having the two lateral outer petals smaller than the corresponding inner petals, and in having a colourless, not red, columna. The Onci- — dium olivaceum of M. Kunth, which probably resembles this — in some particulars, is obviously distinguished by its re- flexed petals and trifid labellum. J. L. .
Oncipium is distinguished in its division of the order by “ a flat-lobed label, knobby at the base; spreading pe- tals (the two front ones of which are sometimes grown to- gether) ; a winged column; a pair of pollen-masses, double- lobed behind, and fixed at the middle by a common pro- cess belonging to the stigma.”
The coloured leaf and uncoloured scape, in our figure, are much diminished: the coloured spike of flowers and uncoloured leaf are of the natural size. 7

Drawn at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, where the species was probably first raised from New Holland seed. Still a very rare plant. Not taken up in the Hortus Kewensis.
The solitary oblong seed contained in the elastically bursting pod of this curious little shrub, reminds us of some sorts of bird’s egg in miniature, is of a fawn colour, brokenly spotted with short black lines, and scarcely bigger than a mustard-seed. The s¢em is short, round, and woody, with a rough brown bark; produces a level-topped fascicle of long green foliaceously winged leafless branches from its summit, which are indented quite to the midrib alternately and distantly at each edge; the indentations serve as niches
where the peduncles of the inflorescence are seated. Co- rymbs of several yellow flowers having a deep tawny pur- plish eye, with a double-bright yellow spot at the base; the size and colour of those of Eucuiius obcordatus, already published in this work (v. 5. fol. 403). The calyx is per- manent; the crown much shorter than the vexillum, which is oblately obcordate.

VOL, IX. : N : . -
A species placed upon the records of the vegetable sys- tem from native samples in the Lambertian Herbarium, collected by Dr. Hamilton. in Nepal. We have preferred the original name to that in the “ Regni Vegetabilis Systema Generale,” &c. &c.; a work where the universal enumeration of the vegetation of no less than our entire globe is an- nounced, accompanied by the differential and natural cha- racters with a full synonymy of each species; but in his wild career the historian has stopped short at the history of not much more than a dozen of Linnzeus’s genera and one of the narrowest classes of his system. The botanic world ~ was roused with the noise of this undertaking (actually an- nounced and opened at Geneva by the sound of drums and trumpets) nearly ten years ago; since which period two moderate octavo volumes haye been ushered amongst us, — containing insulated accounts, without beginning or end (or monographs according to natural order), of a few Lin- neean genera, together with the class» Tetradynamia, turned into orders; the whole entangled in a complex unmanage- able machinery by way of natural arrangement. — ,
And here we suspect is the extinction of this glaring phenomenon, intended to spread durable and universal light, but which has left us in the same darkness in which we were found. For ourselves, we are not disappointed in our expectations; the work has reached as far as they ever extended; with a view subdued by age and experience, we foresaw no other event. We might have prognosticated better success, or conceived more hope from the annun- ciation of a Supplement to some of the Linnzean Sequences, beginning with Monanpria and ending in Cryprocamia: such as a continuation of that invaluable and unrivalledly useful work, “ Willdenow’s Species Plantarum,” or even of an addition to the classic “ Catalogue of the Kew Collec- tion;” a monument of the taste and criticism of Solander and Dryander, the worthy disciples of Linnzeus, and the most accomplished scholars of their age; but where in the very title-page we see them robbed of the reward of their erudition (and we know they received no other) to give im- inortality and renown to vulgar ignorance, the names of native dunces being suffered to usurp the place belonging to those of the genius and talent of another land.
_ Jussieu, the great luminary of his department and the original framer of the soundest natural system extant, still
the manual, in this department of science, as well of the student. as of the philosopher, had the precaution or wisdom to keep to genera, leaving species to shift for themselves ; and he has thus extricated himself from the labyrinth of a natural arrangement ably and usefully, with- out leaving either himself or his readers in the lurch. The hints contained in the notes, the finest parts of his work, still are and will long remain the sources for extending and enlarging the system upon the base destined for it by his comprehensive and sagacious mind.
Mr. Brown, second only in his day to the above great name, kept to the vegetation of one region, and under the modest title of Prodromus Floree Nove Hollandice has pro-'
duced a work easily convertible into an extended general system of vegetables. We know nothing that approaches the neatness, accuracy, precision and judgment shown in the definitions of this author ; which by experience we have
found to comprize the justest proportioned limits that our
mind can figure for the use of science. A surer and more instructive guide the student will never find in his progress along this fascinating path of science. :
Classes still remain the desideratum of a natural sys- tem; no one has devised even a tolerable substitute for them. Insulated wandering orders and genera Botany teems with; but asylums to receive and keep these unsettled vagrants are still wanting, the devising of which is left to be the lot of an invention yet in embryo.

A tree-like shrub; leaves alternate, when young very long, prickly toothed, full grown ones ovately oblong, obsoletely toothed, more substantial; wmbels axillary, 7-8-flowered ; common peduncle compressed.
A species not in the Hortus Kewensis, nor in any general system of vegetables; and probably now introduced by the above-named lady. :

The drawing of this new and lively flowered plant was taken at the garden of the Horticultural Society, enriched, extended, and arranged under the able direction of the in- telligent and indefatigable secretary, Mr. Sabine; next to whom we must not forget, in their different departments, Messrs. Lindley and Monroe. In our opinion that richly endowed establishment cannot be confided to abler or more competent agents, as well in regard to the application of its treasures, as a judicious management of the collection. Nor do we say this in idle flattery, for which we have no motive; but in proof of an approbation extorted from us by what we have seen, and by that which has been produced | within a period hardly to be believed, as if by magic.
The present plant is known among the Chilians by the
appellation of “ St. Martin’s flower”—Flor de San Martin.
The seed was imported by the Horticultural Society, and the produce flowered this year for the first time. It will be a valuable addition even when put in competition with the prettiest of our hothouse species.

This species of Dendrobium appears to be nearly related to the D. longifolium of M. Kunth, from which, however, it . seems to be perfectly distinct. In the latter plant the scape is described as being twice as long as the leaves; but in the species before us the scape is almost hidden by the leayes, than which it is at least twice as short. The D. longifolium is moreover a native of Popayan; while the present plant was found growing in woods near Rio Janeiro, whence it was sent to England by Mr. John Forbes, a collector in the service of the Horticultural Society, in 1822.
The period of its flowering is May and June.
Whether the Denprosia undulatum et variegatum of the authors of the Flora Peruviana are related to this it is scarcely possible to judge, with the very imperfect materials afforded by those botanists; but it is probable that the above-mentioned plants bi on a _ othe species among which they are placed, sitical sections of the genus, Lindley MSS.

A Chinese plant, said to have been introduced by the Duke of Marlborough, then Lord Blandford. :
We do not trace it in any recorded species; but we have never had an opportunity of comparing the specimens with those in the different Herbariums. It forms a tall strag-— gling shrub, unequal to its own support, with short spinose arms. ‘The flowers are fragrant, and are tinged with a
rosy hue. In the nurseries it has been mistaken for Garpr- “NIA spinosa.

We regret exceedingly that an overwhelming malady prevented the taking a detailed account of this fine and rare plant; introduced into this country by Sir Abraham Hume, in whose collection at Wormleybury the drawing was made. From the wonted liberality and attention of the possessor we were supplied with ample specimens of the plant, and every facility was given for a sufficient account of
the species; but in vain; we were bound powerless to the’
bed of sickness, and could not avail ourselves of the prof- fered kindness.
We find no record of the species except in the short phrase of Thunberg’s Prodromus, and must refer to the drawing instead of description. It seems to differ from the mass of the congeners by producing leaves and flowers at the same time; and is manifestly the finest yet known.
One plate shows the blossom ‘of the natural size; an= other the whole plant diminished.
—————
A frodaratBepticad periodical pububationh with figures of the objects of that department of the history of nature to which it happens to be dedicated, accompanied by an as popularly written account of the subject as the matter will admit of, serves for the immediate and imperishable record of species, which neyer after lose their place in the forthcoming systems of natural history; while they remain a standard for compilers to refer to, serving at the same time to lighten their labour We believe that many
a tolerable botanist has been made by these works, and still more collectors, ever upon the alert to assemble the curious and new objects of their pursuit, that they may behold them a part of the general history of nature, and be taught their story, and while they themselves become . the means of having a value stamped upon things which had none before. A plant, for instance, that is to remain unknown to its possessor except by the fugitive blossom or till the owner becomes a botanist, is valueless and escapes attention; while by the publications to which we allude, the pursuits and expenses of the collector and the’ florist, otherwise lost and useless, are rendered important to knowledge, are made to enlarge the sphere of its activity, as well as to contribute to the amount of its treasures. It is not much above thirty years that a work of this kind ap- peared amongst us, and the diffusion of a taste for the study of nature has, to our certain knowledge and obser- vation, at least kept pace with that appearance. Formerly the rarest vegetable bloomed for its master alone, or per- haps to the desert air; now a blossom no sooner expands than its representative is spread, not only over this country, but in a short period reaches the abode of every Botanist, even of him who dwells at the foot of Mount Caucasus, and makes an addition to the general fund of literature, while it brings in contact the learned and lovers of this Science in every region, = Digse tou:
~The reference to a figure enables the inhabitant of Pe- tersburgh and Vienna to acquire the plant he wishes to pos- sess from the nurseryman in London; while a name with- out a figure had long proved a source of irremediable confusion and imposition between thetwo. = The more costly works, published by the assistance of the continental governments, are useful only to the rich and to the student who has access to their libraries; to the bulk of mankind they are unknown and. of no,ayail. To detect a species, in the general enumerations) of ,plants, is only within the power of one already, versed; in this science ;. to others these works are unfathomable... - The vulgar complaint of the use of technical or hard terms is inconsiderate: botany, as an accurate study, like — the sister departments of natural history, is comparatively — a new branch of knowledge. Parts are now. spoken of, and brought within the sphere of observation, that were neither
7
observed nor spoken of by our predecessors: are we to leave these new objects without a name? or describe them by tedious circumlocution? or adopt an old denomination which must necessarily belong to something else? This would be a solecism in knowledge. A new name must be called in, and the reader must learn it (he will find them few and useful), or remain without the pale of the pro- gress of knowledge. We do not here, of course, include the abuse of this liberty: to this every good is liable. To strip the study of natural history of abstruseness, and withdraw it from the sphere of abstraction, in which it has been too often unduly involved, is quite another thing. In regard to the task we have to perform, to render our- selves intelligible to every class of readers, while we endea- your to familiarize them with the necessary new terms in use, will be a constant aim.
New names in the history of nature are but the conven- tional abbreviations of long phrases and wide circumlocu- tions; their use is in some sort the same to the naturalist that his algebraic signs and equivalents are to the geo- metrician. If Botany had had its conventional signs to work with as far back as Geometry has had hers, we should not now find it the last on the list of sciences.

The sample for the drawing came from Mr. Gowen; and had been taken from a plant in the collection at Highclere, in Hampshire; raised from seed gathered in the interior of New Holland, by Mr. Cunningham. We have called the species after the family name of the possessor and introducer
of the plant.
Comes near to Passiriora adiantifolia, figured in the second volume of this work, in respect to the flower and general habit of the shrub; but differs in the shape of the foliage. It has the same remarkable and somewhat ano- malous crown and operculum, the same keeled segments of the calyx, the same tall straight pistillum, but a shorter urceolus than adiantifolia. Mr. Gowen says the plant grows and flowers freely, and is all but hardy. An excellent subject for the conservatory. Now first appear- ing in our collections. Wed

The drawing of this native of the Sandwich. Islands, the last introduced of the genus, was taken at the collec-
_ tion of Comtesse des Vandes, at Bayswater. The species
was originally observed by Mr. Menzies, and samples were deposited by that gentleman in the Banksian Herbarium. From thence it was transferred by Mr. Salisbury to the re-
_ cords of the Linnean Transactions. Much scarcer than
its congeners, and never before figured from the live subject. .
The genus is named and established by Mr. Salisbury,
in compliment to the late Mr. Sydenham Edwards, whose . :
reputation, as a botanical draughtsman, was established by the first volumes of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, to which he contributed the designs for more than twenty years. The drawings of the four first volumes of the present work are likewise from the pencil of the same excellent artist.

“This section, which probably extends across the con- tinent of Asia, from Nepal to China, is readily distin- guished from the preceding by the thick wooliness of its fruit; a peculiarity entirely confined to itself. Its leaves are very dense, usually shining, and the prickles are placed under the stipule in pairs: the species which compose it
may be considered to have their organs of fructification in —
the highest state of developement in the genus. ‘The sta- mens vary from 350 to 400, and the pistilla from 140 to 190; the former being twice and the latter three times as numerous as in the last section (Feroces), which perhaps holds the next rank in the scale of developement.”
© Branches pale brown, flexuose, covered with very soft down; prickles generally naked, with a long base, bright brown, pointing upwards, placed by pairs under the sti- pula, which are nearly distinct, downy, and divided at the margin into several capillary compound segments, here and there fringed with glands ; on vigorous rootshoots they are united half way, and then the part which is disengaged frequently extends into a small pinnate leaf; petioles slen- der, downy, with a few small prickles; leaflets 3-9, elliptic, lanceolate, obtuse, bluntly serrate, dull green, naked above, downy (rarely naked) and paler beneath. Flowers white, subsolitary, surrounded by three or four approximate leaves; bractee pectinate, woolly, as are the short pe-
duncle, globose tube of the calyx, and spreading entire ©
.
sepals (calycine leaflets) ; petals emarginate, longer than the last; disk long, large, and thickened; styles villous,
slightly protruded.”
“For an opportunity of examining spontaneous speci- mens of this new species I am indebted to Mr. Lambert: they were collected in Nepal by Dr. Buchanan (Hamilton), and, from the ticket attached to them, probably in marshy situations. Of this however no mention is made by Dr. Roxburgh, by whom, in his manuscript Flora Indica, a detailed account of the species is given with the name here adopted. It has recently been imported from the East Indies by Mr. Whitley, of Fulham, in whose collection I have seen it growing vigorously, and it proves a highly de- sirable addition to our gardens. It cannot possibly be con- founded except with R. bracteata and microphylla, from
_ both which its dull narrow leaves, hoary beneath, and long
Slender shoots, distinguish it sufficiently ; besides, the
bracteze are a little distance from the flowers. Native of $e
Nepal, Bengal, and China.” Lindley, I. c. 8-9. Drawn at Mr. Colvill’s, King’s Road, Chelsea.

Hydrophyllece differ from Boraginee by a copious car- tilaginous albumen, as well as by an opposite or else deeply lobed foliage: distinctions announcing a further general diversity of habit between the members of the two orders, very properly separated by Mr. Brown in his Prodromus.
Nemopuita owes the name and origin, as a distinct genus, to Dr. Barton; its accurate definition of the limits
- to Mr. Brown.
The essential properties of a well-defined genus seem to us to be, that they should express the peculiar characters of a convenient number of naturally (evidently) allied species, and the art of instituting the same to consist in the sagacious selection of such insulated species as will

i gradually combine with others not yet observed. In the formation of such groups we have always found Mr. Brown
__ peculiarly successful. The nuclei of his genera do not long
~ remain without attracting a due conglomeration of species, until a natural and convenient assemblage of these has ‘taken place. The genera of many other authors seem to be chosen by chance, and to be oftener drawn within the circles of those already established, than to become them- selves a receptacle for unobserved species.
Biennial. Stem succulent, trailing, branched; Jeaves alternate, pinnatifid; lobes obtuse, slightly roughened, edges minutely ciliate, lowermost apart from the rest, un- evenly indented. Flowerstalks solitary, round, 1-flowered, larger than the leaf. Calyx permanent, inferior 10-cleft ; segments ovate acute ciliate, alternately upright and larger, the rest reflexed. Corolla campanulate, limb 5-cleft, seg- ments obtuse, notched at the end. Stamens far shorter than the corolla; filaments naked, inserted at the short tu- bular base of the corolla; anthers crescented. Nectary of ten small purplish cavities with pubescent edges ranged round the mouth of the tube of the flower. Germen round- oval: style upright: stigma trifid. Capsule 1-celled, with two, parietal fleshy placentz attached along the back, the sides remaining detached and separate. Seeds naturally two to each placenta.

(8) is too near to (z) to be separated as a species without proof. The marks hastily selected by the compilers of uni- versal systems for the specific distinction of the plants, while arranging the sequences of their page, cannot be im- plicitly relied upon for decisive separation ; recourse should be had to other evidence. We have already expressed our views of the inconveniences arising from the iteration of species and misapplication of synonyms, holding them among the principal blots in the history of natural objects. Provisional subspecies, with separate synonymies and marks, seem at least the palliative of this evil, and the one we always use. '

Ql
The drawing was taken at the Bayswater establishment belonging to Comtesse de Vandes. The fact of the flower- stalks having only one flower instead of two, as in (a), is just such a difference as is very likely to proceed from defect ' of vigour in the plant cultivated in a colder region.

The plant was sent from Sierra Leone, in 1822, by Mr. George Don, collector in the service of the Horticultural Society; and has been in flower in the garden of this So- ciety at Chiswick for nearly all the summer through. Lind- ley MSS, °
A ground species (not parasitic: not growing upon trees or other bodies). Bulbs conical, enveloped in the hardened rugged permanent bases of the leaves. Leaves 3-0, two opposite stiff, narrowly lanceolate, nearly upright, a foot high, covering the bulbs by the enlargement of their per- manent remnants; primary nerves 3, secondary 4, the
former varicosely permanent at the under surface of the foliage. Scape round, very slender, many-flowered, three times the length of the leaves: as the flowers drop knobbed with the remains of the bractes. Flowers disposed in a scattered spike, subtended by lanceolate taper-pointed de- ciduous bractes, twice shorter than the germen, of a yel- lowish green colour, paler on the inside and slightly suf- fused with red. Petals of the corolla spreading, ovate, pointed, inner a little smaller. Zabel pendulous, funnel- form; spur clubbed at the top, the middle lobe nearly obliterated and its place supplied by a sort of fringe. Co- lumn detached, flat in front, slightly ciliate at the edge, - ovate, ending at the front in an elongated rostel or beaklike appendage. Secreting surface of the stigma (gynizus) a transverse hollow. Anther terminal, lid-shaped, deciduous, of one cell, with a projecting apex beneath, covering by its beaklike point the gland of the pollen-masses, elongated at the back near the fringe or joint by which it is connected with the column, where it is also purplish. Pollen-masses 2, divided into two lobes for half their length at the back, held together by a filiform glandular corpuscle.

Root annual, branching, whitish, twice slenderer thi the tube of a common quill, Stem one, round, slightly
fluted towards the top; when observed abner a magnifier somewhat villous, to the height of two or three feet erect and standing of itself, from thence twining and branched, towards the bottom part corky. Leaves ternate, petioled : leaflets ovate, quite entire, smooth above, underneath when viewed with a glass slightly pubescent, on the lower part of the stem obtuse and smaller, elsewhere pointed. Sti- pules in pairs, lanceolate pointed. Peduncles axillary, solitary, a foot long, rigidly straight, almost upright, many-flowered at the top. Bractes of the calyx in pairs, ~ subulate, small, close-pressed, caducous. Flowers sessile, alternately paired, without scent. Calyx cylindrical, green, narrow, small, smooth, bilabiate: upper lip notched at the end and the shorter of the two, lower one with three subu- late teeth. Vexillum (uppermost and largest petal) twice longer than the calyx, purple suffused’ over a greenish ground: ala (side petals) deep-purple-red, twice the length of the vexillum, roundish, concave, wide apart from the rest: carina (two lowermost parallel petals: generally more or less connected at the inner edge) purple in the middle, on the sides white at both surfaces, shorter than the vexil- lum owing to the spiral twist. dnthers deep yellow, oblong, balanced. Seeds several, oblongly kidney-shaped, smooth, with black and brown spots: sheld linear, straight, round- ish, taper-pointed, 3-4 inches long, brown, with a roughish furred decumbent pubescence. Jacquin has left out the sy- nonyms of Dillenius and Plumier, because they speak of a perennial plant. This is too likely to be a mistake to be trusted to in displacing a synonym in other respects good. ~
Drawn at Chiswick in the garden of the Horticultural Society; where the plant has been introduced from the West Indies. A kidney-bean, though not an esculent.
Originally cultivated in 1732 by Dr. James Sherard, 0 the Eltham garden, where it was observed by Dillenius, and faithfully represented in his work.

A genus detached and defined by Mr. Brown, who dis- tinguishes it from other genera of the same division, by |
a label nearly of similar shape and dimensions as the rest of the petals of the corolla (distinct from each other), and four parallel pollen-masses.
Two species are known in our gardens.
We had no opportunity of examining the flowers 5 and refer to the annexed figure.

A plant that has probably never appeared in our collec- tions from the time of the introduction of the original sample by Colonel Paterson in 17 80, when it was cultivated by the then Lady Strathmore, till recently reimported by Mr. Colvill. Native of the Cape of Good Hope, and re- corded in Hortus Kewensis by. Dr. Solander under Gua- piotus; from which genus it was detached by us in a trea- -tise on Ensate in the Annals of Botany. Guapioxus has an oblong capsule with winged seed; Tritonta a roundish capsule with round wingless seed, a habit peculiar to the genus and distinct throughout from that of Guaproxus.
The spots or areas from which the three remarkable calli or prominences of the corolla arise, have been termed by Professor Sprengell nectarostigmata, a term constituting the type of an injudicious neologism; being unnecessary, not of convenient length, nor precise, nor expressive of any thing but the pedantry of its author.
Students have been perplexed to distinguish flava from ~~ securigera, while taking the specific phrases, by which
alone the two were formerly known, for their guide: “a spathe with an obtuse tridented outer valve” being made the differential mark of the first, and ‘‘ a spathe with a spear-pointed entire outer valve” of the latter: marks that mutually occur throughout the genus in the spike of the same plant, the outer valve being often entire at the bot- tom of the spike, while it is indented at the top. For real points of distinction between the species we must have re- course, first: to the colour of the flower, which is tawny in securigera and yellow in flava; secondly: to the irregu- larity of the same, which is greater in flava than in the other; thirdly: to the breadth and inequality of the seg- ments, which are much broader in securigera, and more unequal in flava. ‘The two being however now represented by good figures, can for the future cause no confusion.
Drawn in Mr. Colvill’s greenhouse at Chelsea in July last.
The representation of securigera (GLADIOLUS securigero), in Curtis's Magazine (No. 383), is characteristic and every
way worthy of so excellent a botanical draughtsman as

- For the means of publishing this rare plant, which we
believe is figured now for the first time, we are obliged to Richard Leigh, Esq. of Bexley. Gi 34 ii It was originally described by Linnzeus, in his Mantissa, with the name of E. capensis, and a figure of Burmann was cited, which is now known to represent Ertnus fragrans ; an error which Linnzeus afterwards detected, but which is continued in Persoon’s Synopsis, although avoided by pre- vious writers. The appellation of LycunipEa was given to the plant by the younger Linnzeus, in the Supplementum Plan- tarum; we suppose, from the belief that it was one of the species of LycunipEa represented by Burmann. But, if we are right in our conjecture, the name was unfortunately ap- plied, since neither of the species of Lycunipra belonging to Ertnus, which are described by Burmann, are referable to the present plant; one kind being a synonym of EK. africa-
VOL, IX. 35
| | | | |
nus; and that which was originally referred to this species belonging, as we have already stated, to E. fragrans.
That our plant is identical with the E. capensis of Lin- nzeus we have fortunately been enabled to ascertain by the aid of the Banksian Herbarium, in which specimens both of E. africanus and E. capensis, compared with the Linnean _ Herbarium, are preserved. On what authority Linnzeus describes his plant as having yellow flowers we are unable to judge, unless, indeed, the species was cultivated in’ the Upsal garden. In our plant the flowers are certainly nearly white.
It does not very obviously appear, from the characters either of Linnzeus or Thunberg, in what the essential cha- racter of E. Lychnidea, as distinguished from E. africanus, consists; we have therefore made a slight alteration in the specific character, so as to indicate what seems to us to be the most important point of difference, the pubescent tube of E. Lychnidea. In all the specimens of E. africanus which we have examined, that part was perfectly destitute of pubescence. a
Stem two feet high, erect, round, pubescent. Leaves alternate (the lower ones opposite), sessile, linear, toothed, distant, pubescent. Spike terminal, oblong, imbricate, with
broad ovate-lanceolate, toothed bractew. Calyx sessile, the length of the bractez, 5-toothed, bipartite, erect, ob- tuse, broader at its base.

We have placed this TiuuaNnpsia provisionally only as a variety of flecuosa, because, although it is probable that it may be a distinct species, we, not having seen while in flower the plant from which our drawing was made, are not prepared to point out its distinguishing characters. T. flecuosa must either be a very variable plant, or more species than one are already included in it by those who have described the wild subject; to say nothing of Jacquin’s T. tenuifolia, which is referred hither by Swartz and other botanists. The last-mentioned writer says, the Jamaica plant varies with scarlet and blue flowers! Jac- - quin’s plant has leaves banded like those of some species of : § 2:

The species does not appear reducible to any of the — seven enumerated by Mr. Brown; by whom the corolla of — the genus is described as “ deciduous,” which in our plant seemed to be “ permanent,” and to envelop in the faded state the ripening capsule. We presume that the stami- neous appendicle we have termed struma, is the apex in- crassatus stuposus of the filament, in the definition of the character of this group. OC LO
In strumosa the leaves are bright green; the corolla re- flex; inner segments ruled down the middle with three’
deeply coloured lines parallel with the axis of the segment ; outer with five similar ones ; the filaments are bent at the top and connected by a joint with ashort thick orange- coloured frosted irregularly oblong strumous body, on the inwardly shelving summit of which the anther is fixed by its base. The above curious appendage of the stamens, re- minds us in some sort of the thigh of the Bee, when loaded with the golden farina collected from the blossoms of the

For the elaborate character which we hav given above, we are entirely indebted to Mr. Brown, who alone, in this country, was capable of defining the limits and of fully ap- preciating the peculiarities of this truly singular plant. It adds another instance to the curious anomalies already ywnin the cotyledonar structure of dicotyledonous plants:
nust unquestionably be considered as the type of a tribe of cruciferous plants; others of which may pos-
exist in the almost unexplored regions of which this is ative. ot

Cruciferous plants, the generic differences of which are diffi- cult to seize.perhaps beyond all others, was made by the gentleman to whom we are obliged for our article; and that the soundness of those:characters: has never yet been questioned, even by theorists.
In illustration of these remarks, we cannot do better than transcribe the words of M. Decandolle, who (Regn. veg. 144). observes, that “ A methodical arrangement of cru- “ ciferous plants is, on account of the close affinity of “the genera, both difficult and ambiguous. The division “of the order into Stliquose and Siliculose, which. was “ first established by Ray, and afterwards adopted by Lin- ““ neeus and most other botanists, although it has the ap- “ pearance of being convenient, is not only occasionally “ uncertain, but has the great defect of not according with “ the anatomical structure and natural affinities of the ge- “nera. In the first place, the silique and the silicule differ “from each other only in length; and every degree of “ length is to be found, not only in allied genera, but even ** among species of one and the same genus; so that Drasa, “ for instance, Nasturtium, HEniopHita, Erysimum, ARABis, “ Srevents, Eruca, and others, even after the most rigid “ examination,necessarily include examples of Siliquosce and “ Siliculose mingled together. Secondly, there are certain “ cruciferous genera, such as Rapisrrum, Caxite, Cramer, * &c. the fruit of which being neither silique nor silicule, is “so anomalous as to have received a distinct appellation “ from some modern writers, and to have been termed nu- _ “camentaceous. In the third place, the length of the “¢ style is not always in an inverse ratio to the length of the ‘pod, but has been observed to be long in many Siliquosc, “and very short or nearly obsolete in other Siliculosce. * Characters, however, of a more constant and important *‘ description, having been remarked by Geertner, were suc- “ cessfully introduced as the basis of the generic characters “ of the order by Mr. Robert Brown. These characters are “ deduced from the internal structure of the seed, and more “ especially from the relative position of the radicle and * cotyledons; and although it must be confessed, that “ prejudices with regard to the association of species, which “ have become almost sanctified in our minds by habit, are “in some cases attacked, the genera founded upon those’ *< principles are not only much better defined, but far more
“ natural, than the genera to which we had been previously —
“accustomed. It is also a singular fact, that in these plants “every variety of form in the fruit is accompanied by “ equal variety of form in the seed, so that if primary cha- *“yacters be derived from the pericarpium, then in each “ division will be an accumulation of genera with various “ modifications of seed; and if from the seed, then in like
«‘ manner each division will contain genera with dissimilar —
“ pericarpia.”
This plant is a native of Chili, from whence it was in- troduced by Mr. Francis Place in 1822. It is annual, and difficult to preserve, as it very rarely produces its seeds.
Our drawing was made, in the garden of the Horticul- tural Society at Chiswick, in June last. : J. L.

~ This species of Ocymum is very similar to the O. hepto-
don found by the late M. de Beauvois in the kingdom of — Benin; a plant which is stated to have a flower singular in
the genus for the seven teeth of its calyx, and appearing, from the figure which accompanies the description, of a red colour. But, as we are unable to discover ‘other points
~ of variance, it is possible that some allowance should be
h:
made for the different appearances of a dried specimen and wee! ° ' é + » a living subject. To avoid confusion, we have preserved the plant of M. de Beauvois as a distinct variety; and we leave the point to be finally determined by a future reference to rbarium of the author. bites 2

Our plant was raised from seed transmitted in 1821 by Mr. George Don from Sierra Leone to the Horticultural Society, in whose garden at Chiswick we were favoured with an opportunity of describing,it. \-Mr. Don informs us, that it is in request at Sierra Leone for medicinal purposes, and that it is there called the Fever Plant.
Speaking of the genus Ocymum, Mr. Brown remarks (prod..506), “ that the whole genus requires to be entirely revised, in order to ascertain what ‘species are furnished with toothed filaments; and how far that character, which at present is of doubtful value, is of real importance in fixing limits to the genus.”
An under-shrub 3 feet high, naked of foliage, and haying ina high degree the smell of common Balm. Stem 4-cor- nered, hairy, rounded at the angles, which are destitute of pubescence. Leaves opposite, ovate-lanceolate, drawn_ to a point, blunt, crenate, nearly smooth, with a long stalk ; the nerves hairy; on the under side reticulated and covered with dots. Branches terminal, villous. Flowers pale green,
dispersed in. 6-flowered whorls. Bractee to each whorl —
two, thin, ovate-thombshaped, »pale, deciduous. Flower- stalks ‘short, slender, downy. Calyx campanulate, hairy, dotted; the upper division broad, ovate, the lateral seg- ments subulate, spreading, the lower division with two teeth, and directed upwards. Corolla nearly of the same length with the calyx, pubescent, 5-toothed; the four up- per teeth being nearly of equal size and turned upwards ;
the lip larger than they, ovate, concave, purple, veined, with the edges ‘turned back. Stamens bent downwards, the ~
two at the back being inserted above the bottom of the tube, with a short villous spur below their middle; the two in front inserted into the base of the labellum, smooth and without aspur. Anthers yellow, smooth, with the filaments inserted into their back; their cells running together at
their point. Pollen round. Ovaries 4, immersed in a ~

This species is principally distinguished from S. varie- gata by the regular disposition of the spots upon the flower. The only figure of it which has been previously published is in the fine work of the younger Jacquin upon the culti- vated species of SrapEn1a. Our drawing was made at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery.
The genus Orbea of Mr. Haworth, which is founded on the sectional characters of Mr. Brown, cited at the com- mencement of our article, does not appear to depend upon

/
distinctions of importance sufficient to constitute a particu- lar genus. We have therefore continued to retain. this Species among the genuine Srapetias which have been di- vided into convenient sections by Mr. Brown. That gentle- man, in remodelling the order of Asclepiadew, found it necessary to make no other alteration in the genus, as ori- nally fixed, than to reform the essential character, which was defective and inaccurate; and to divide from it the species with a 10-cleft corolla (Husrnta Brown), and those with a single corona to the corolla (Prarantuus Brown).
)
The singular appellation (normalis), which has been bestowed upon the species by Jacquin, alludes to the regu- lar manner in which the spots of the corolla are arranged.
Branches many, much divided, bending down, or rising upwards, green, from 4 to 10 inches long, the old ones scarcely so thick as one’s little finger, four-cornered; the angles with very spreading teeth. Hlower-stalks from the lower part of the young branches, generally at their divisions, solitary, one-flowered, round, smooth, very much spreading, an inch and half long, as thick as a crow’s quill. Leaves of the Calyx ovate, acute, smooth, pale green, very much spread- ing. Corolla stinking, its diameter two inches and more, nearly flat, very much spreading, divided half way; on the outside of a pale sulphur colour, streaked in lines, smooth, in the inside with a yellow ground, striped across and marked with blood-red spots, which are regularly disposed in longitudinal parallel rows. Tube scarcely any. Divisions of Corolla 4 or 5, ovate, acute, flat. Crown spurious, ‘warted, of the same colour as the divisions. Sac of the -nectary short, nearly white, marked at the bottom witha blood-red ring, and at the top with two or three spots of a similar colour. Horns round, obtuse, erect, at the top curved backwards, green, dotted with blood-red. Séraps oblong, blunt, split at the end, often having a little tooth- let between them, very much spreading, greenish, covered on both sides with dark purple spots, at the bottom blood- red. Seed-pods smooth, as thick as one’s finger, about four inches long, and nearly erect. Jacq.

We are informed by Mr. Sweet, that when the flower has been expanded for some days, its co- lour, which is at first pale yellow, changes to a brownish orange, becoming darker daily: so that the plant has upon it blossoms of several shades of orange and yellow at the

Roots. of this new species of Autium were sent to the Horticultural Society from Peru, in 1823, by James Cowan, Esq. along with many other singular bulbous plants, from elevated situations in that country. Of these we have lately had the advantage of describing (fol. 724) a curious new mountain species of Amaryiuis. The subject of this ar- ticle flowered this summer in a cold frame in the garden of the Society at Chiswick, and we had there an opportunity of examining it.
Although several species of the same genus had been discovered in North America, some of which are said to be identical with those of Europe or Asia, none had been known to be natives of the southern part of the new world before the arrival of the kind we are now describing. It is nearly related to the common ALLIUM ursinum of this coun- try, from which it is distinguished by its leaves being cili- ate, a little undulated, and much more flaccid, with quite a different outline; its petals are obtuse, not pointed.

It was only the other day a very general opinion, that the migration of pollen-masses in Orchideous plants, was ‘accessary to the fertilization of the germen, and the mode by which those bodies attained a consummatory contact

with the stigma. This opinion is now, we Velieve, con- signed to the catalogue of vulgar errors. A nearer view and a more philosophical research have demonstrated the probability of a clandestine fertilization, previous to the opening of the flower and removal of the pollen-masses ; at a period when these bodies are endued with a very different _ hature and substance from those they are found with at the “migratory stage. A theory, which, as the result of more accurate investigation and sounder reasoning, may safely replace that which has been found groundless, at least until itself shall have been refuted in turn, or modified by future observation. The original notion, we suspect, had no bet- ter foundation than the fact of the inert and exhausted residua of the pollen (after projection by an elastic dehis- cence of the anther) having been frequently observed to cling in masses of a determinate form to the neighbouring stigma, where they are retained (probably for the use of bees or of some other insects) by a viscid moisture secreted at this period from the surface of that organ. ‘ie a
_ The waxen or horny state in which the pollen-masses. are found in a great proportion of this family, is never that of their pristine consistence, but a consistence induced after parting with their fertilizing principle, and indicatory of exhaustion. For this reason, when these concrements en- ter into the definitions of the secretions of Orchidew by Mr. Brown, we find them designated “ demim cereacea” (finally waxen). And in this state only, from their permanence, greater evidence, and easier accessibility, could they have been adopted for characteristic marks. Previous to that period, besides the continual change both in form and con: sistence which is more or less in progress, the precise but fugitive moment at which these bodies might be deemed perfect, that is, mature and still pregnant with the ferti- lizing principle, could not have been easily seized for prac- tical discrimination, even if such point of their existence was held a truer and safer ground of distinction.
_ It is by the singular habit of the pollen that Orchidee _ are distinguished among Monocotyledons, as the Asclepiadee: are by one nearly similar among Dicotyledons,
In the Asclepiadeous family the anthers are five, all with a pollen concreting into a determinate number of masses, _ which, on issuing from the mould or case of the anther, at-
tach themselves to certain adjoining processes of the stigma, where they are held, probably with the same intent as that which has been surmised in Orchidew; and the recompo- sition they undergo is not improbably analogous.
The summary of the natural character of Orchidew stands in the Prodomus of Mr. Brown as follows: “ Corolla superior. Filaments and style united either at the base or along their whole length. (Anther one, seldom two): pol- len resolving into concretions of determinate shape. Capsule one-celled, with three many-seeded receptacles attached to the axis of the valves. Seeds minute, with an albumen, but no vitellus;” (from the Latin.) Denprosium ruscifolium and racemiflorum of Swartz were both included in this ge- nus by Mr. Brown. rruy i
The drawing was taken at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, in the King’s Road, froma plant sent from the Governor's garden at Trinidad by Mr. David Lockhart; and is the first of the species that has appeared in our hothouses. _

~The genus Ponruieva was established by Mr. Brown, in the second edition of the Hortus Kewensis, upon the WVeot- tia glandulosa of the Botanical Magazine; a singular plant, which we fear is now lost to our gardens. With Nerorria
it has little in common, besides the peculiar characters of the section of the order in which it is included. _
For the new species which we ave now enabled to add to the genus, we are indebted to the Horticultural Society, in whose garden at Chiswick our drawing was made in August last. The plant had been recently brought to that establishment, with many other interesting plants, from the island of St. Vincent, by Mr. James M‘Rae; and we understand it is expected that among them is at least one other species of the same genus.

wet
In foliage this plant is so very similar to the Neorria adnata of Swartz, that, before it produced its inflorescence, we supposed it would prove at least of the same genus. That, however, isa Neorria with a spur, and therefore
wholly distinct from Ponrureva. It constitutes an unde- scribed genus (Conte Wob.), to which we believe the N. _calcarata of Swartz may also be referred.
‘Leaves radical, ‘erect, with long stalks, elliptical, acute,
curled at the edges, with 5 or 7 nerves, quite smooth; the —
leaves of the stem acute, sheathing, hairy. Scape erect, round, hairy, twice as long as the leaves. Bractew shorter
than the ovaria, obtuse. Vowers disposed in a loose spike,
‘spreading, not twisted, of a brown colour. Petals smooth, the 3 lower ones ovate, acute, cohering into a sort of hood, the two interior being oblique like those of Platanthera, stalked, cordate on one side at the base, and fastened to the back of the column ; the 2 upper ones oblong, strongly 5-nerved, wing-shaped, reflexed, with the edges rolled back. Labellum brownish red, ovate, boat-shaped, smooth, lying upon the column, twice as short as the petals: its stalk yellow, fleshy, edged on each side, and continuous with the base of the column. Column very short, thick; gynizus hollow, lunate ; rostellum subulate, with a gland at the tip. Anther posterior, narrow, pointed, lying upon the clinan- drium, which with respect to the column is vertical, and lies immediately upon the gynizus; obscurely 4-celled, with
the outer valves of the cells scariose at the edge. Pollen- .

Though the species before us is familiar to every Botanist by the engraving and description in the “ Observationes” of Swartz ; and by being one that occurs in all vegetable sys- tems; it was, nevertheless, a stranger to our gardens. in the living plant, till now introduced by the Horticultural So- ciety at Chiswick, where the drawing was taken from plants obtained from seed brought from Jamaica, in the beginning
of this year, by Mr. George Don, a collector in the service of the Society. .
The side petals in this species are completely evolved and proportionate to the other petals, as in a genuine pea-
flower; not imperfect and clandestine like those of the generality of Milkworts, among which they have been over- » looked even by the most attentive Botanists. Is this cir- cumstance peculiar to the West Indian congeners, or be- longing to paniculata alone? We have seen no other from those parts.
_Paniculata is found in the shade of the mountain-forests and moisture of river-sides of St. Domingo‘and Jamaica.
The genus extends itself, by the types of various and numerous species, over every quarter of the earth.
An upright diminutive annual, seldom exceeding six inches in height, furred with a minute glandular pubes- .cence; branches fastigiant (growing to a level one with the other), and as well as the stem round. Leaves loosely scat- tered, almost sessile, lanceolately linear, scarcely more than a line broad. Racemes upright, loosely many-flowered, leafless, peduncles long, filiform ; pedicles capillary, bracte- less, one-flowered, shorter than the flower, in bloom upright, ‘in. fruit drooping. Flowers small, purplish white, loosely Scattered, scarcely more than one’ line long.

Among the many different Narcissr which flowered last spring in the garden of the Horticultural Society, we no- ticed two, which appeared not only undescribed, but ex- ceedingly remarkable in general habit. They were part of an extensive arrangement of hardy bulbs, the basis of which was a collection presented to the Society by Mr. Sabine, its Secretary; a collection which was originally formed by him, in his garden at North Mimms, by many years re- search, and which has been materially increased since it came into the possession of the Society.
Of one of these the opposite figure is from a drawing we made upon the spot. We have named it after the gentle-
man to whom we and the public are indebted for the pos-
session of it, and from whose extensive acquaintance with the genus we have derived our knowledge of the characteristic marks by which it is distinguished from its congeners. Its petals are those of N. bicolor; its tube of N. incompara- bilis; and its nectary of the last-mentioned species, be- come columnar and elongated; or of N. bicolor shortened. ’ This species may therefore be considered to connect N. in comparabilis and N. bicolor, and consequently Mr. Salis-

nally received by Mr. Sabine, in 1818, from Mr. William Baxter, the Cur ator of the Oxford Botanic Garden.
The other species, to which we have alluded, was pre- sented to the Society, in 1820, by Alexander Macleay, Esq. from his garden at Tilburster ; and is supposed to have been imported from Smyrna. “Its appearance was very sin- gular, and resembled.a N. Tazetta become dwarf, with an umbel reduced to two flowers. The leaves were broad and green; the scape channelled, ancipitous, and nearly as much flattened as in N. compressus; spathe 1 or 2 flowered; peduncle an inch long, upright, and flattened; germen ‘swollen and oval; tube 3 of an inch thick, cylindrical, en- ‘larged at the top and green ; petals white, imbricate, at right angles with the nectary, 2 of an inch long, the outer ones broader with a mucro; ‘nectary 4 of an inch long, ‘bright yellow, cylindrical, per fectly truncate, without notches ‘or wrinkles. We have distinguished it by a name which | ‘will be always respected, so long as science and. liberality continue to be objects of esteem; and we would. charac- terize it thus :

~ Of N. Sabini the Leaves are pale-green, pron and few. Scape ancipitous, channelled. Flowers solitary, cernuous. Flower-stalk 14 inch long, erect. Germen small, with the ‘tube of the corolla, which is cylindrical, somewhat funnel- ‘shaped, quite green, and equal to the petals, forming a ‘right-angle with the stalk. Petals whitish, broad, imbri- cate, shining, ovate, at right-angles with the nectary, but not standing regularly. Vectary yellow, plaited, columnar, corroded at the edge, 3 of an inch long, 4 shorter than the petals. Stamens shorter than the nectary ; style equal to it in length.

We prefer retaining the name acaulis, which has been given to this plant by Cavanilles, because it appears less exceptionable than the appellation subsequently attached to it by the authors of the Flora Peruviana; and notwith- standing the curious criticisms upon the Abbé by the last- mentioned Botanists; (See Fl. Peruv. 3. p. 79). We scarcely need remark, that the Qi. grandiflora of the Hor- tus Kewensis, and of the gardens of this country, is a widely different plant.
For our drawing we are obliged to the Horticultural Society, in whose garden it was made during the summer. The seeds had been sent to the Society, by Mr. Francis Place, from Chili, where it is stated, by Ruiz and Pavon, to be common in waste places, and to be administered, un- der the form of infusion, for medical purposes (‘“ ad apo- stemata interna expellenda”); from which circumstance its native name Guadalagilen is derived. We believe the plant to be perennial, and not biennial, as stated in the Flora Peruviana. .

A soft, depressed, perennial? herb, at first stemless, afterwards acquiring a stem, which is round, pale, and pubescent. Leaves with long stalks, oblong, toothed, ly- rate, pubescent, dull-green: the lateral segments linear, obtuse, the terminal one larger and toothletted. Flowers ses- sile, axillary, opening in the evening, twice as short as the leaves. Calyx with a round, slender, somewhat clavate tube: the lobes somewhat lanceolate, acute, on one side conniving at the tip; on the other divided into two por- tions. Petals, white, spreading, obovate, retuse, green at the base. Stamens erect, pale yellow, shorter than the petals. Ovarium four-cornered. Style filiform, as long as the tube of the calyx. Stigma exserted, four-lobed: lobes linear. Capsule sessile, oblong, woody, four-celled, with four hard wings at the upper end.

Scape simple, cylindrical, scarcely thicker than the tube of a swan-quill, central, even with the leaves, white and woolly, upright, forming a club with the inflorescence, beset on all sides quite up to the spike by thin light brown membranous darker-nerved spathe-like longly lanceolate finely tapered loosely imbricated wideset
flowerless bractes. Spike strobiliform, oblong, obtuse (two
inches long or more?), twice the diameter of a man’s thumb, disposed in six? widish-set rows, woolly: flowers bracteless? sessile, projecting, about half an inch long, tubular, loosely arranged in whorls of threes, alternate in relation to a six-ranked order, immerged at the base in the wool of the scape. Germen short, with nearly the same circumference as the calyx, scariose, green, transparent, cylindrical, with three short vertical wings formed by its compressed taper-edged angles, marked with darker veins
reticulately confluent at the base, many-seeded, white-
woolled at the upper part ; ovules in several-fold order, im- bricated upwards, ovately oblong, fixed to the inner corners of the cell by a somewhat clubbed diaphanous thick succu- lent strophiola or umbilical pedicle. Calyx continuous with the germen, pale green, roundly three-cornered ; leaf- lets three, thick, hard, fleshy, converging into a short tube and deeply imbricated at their sides, downy white on the outside. Petals 3, of a black purple colour, stiff, straight, erectly convergent, about a third longer than the calyx, with a linearly oblong involutely hollowed lamina truncately retuse and eroded at the top, and a broad short unguis of the same colour and crowned across the top on the inside by a curled fringe of the same colour. Stamens enclosed, upright, three alternate ones shorter, with jila-
- ments much shorter than the anther, and inserted at the top
of the unguis, the three others with slenderer longer fila- ments inserted at the thickened summit of the germen: anthers linearly long, pale, turned inwards, upright, move- able, suspended by their back to the fine pointed top of the filament. Style upright, enclosed, of the colour of the filaments: stigmata three, widened into a lobular form, short, sooner or later united by twisting.

Drawn from a plant of the Calcutta Garden, which flowered this summer at Mr. Colvill’s. Bae We think it may not be without use to subjoin in Eng- lish the full and elaborate character in Latin by which the SCITAMINE# are distinguished by Mr. Brown, and. by which they are detached from the Canne&. bia ~ Calyx and Corolla superior, tubular: the former the shortest of the wo with a shallow 3-lobed orifice; (it seems
4
doubtful whether this is to be considered an accessory or a
constituent part of the flower). Limb of the corolla two- fold: outer tripartite with nearly even segments, or with a front one different from the others, and not unfrequently reversed so as to be the one at the back: inner tripartite, _ unlike the outer, with the middle sezment (label) inserted
between the outer lateral segments and often 2-3-lobed, -
larger than its own side-segments, which are sometimes diminished to the appearance of small teeth, or even quite obliterated, Stamen a single one, inserted within the edges VOL, 1X. Pe Se RE Zoe ig >t aplioiy o dive

of the front segment of the outer limb, and consequently opposite to the label. Filament commonly broad and re- sembling a petal, often extended beyond the anther by an appendage, which is sometimes entire, sometimes 3-lobed.
_ Anther fixed to the front of the filament, with two separate
parallel bilocular lobes that burst along their axis, where their inflected edges are inserted into a partition that finally disappears: each lobe frequently stands apart at the base from the filament, and sometimes ends ina spur. Rudi- mentary corpuscles (suppressed stamens) two, diminutive,
-eylindrical, standing on each side the base of the style (or in
Cosrus ascending to its summit: see our obs. in foll. 665 and 683. vol. 8), sometimes united, seldom entirely want- ing. Germen 3-celled with many-seeded cells, sometimes
_ Separated by imperfect partitions. Ovules attached along
the inner corner, of the cells in a double row. Style filiform, ascending the groove in the filament. Stigma widened crossways, hollow. Capsule 3-celled, 3-valyed, many-seed- ed, sometimes with a thick fleshy rind like a berry: parti- fiom usually,.central, inserted along the axis of the valves, from which in many cases they differ in substance and are finally detached. Seeds roundish, in most instances pressed by one another into an angular shape; with or without an arillus. Albumen of a mealy substance, rayed throughout and falling short at the umbilicus. Vitellus fleshy, in- clining to funnelform, placed at the point opposite to the umbilicus, generally (if not constantly). perforated at the bottom for the passage of the radicle. Embryo one-cotyle- doned, somewhat cylindrical, sheathed by the vitellus, to Which however it does not adhere. Radicle reaching al-
- most to the umbilical point, commonly naked, being. en-
closed neither within the yitellus nor the albumen. _
The order is composed of perennial herbaceous plants, belonging prin- cipally to tropical countries, and seldom extending themselves so far as the 4th degree of latitude. Stem simple, and sometimes very short. Leaves
simple, with a single nerve and numerous acute angular quite simple thickset
veins, -Petiolea sheath, sometimes split down one side, at the other length- ened in the form of a ligula (an appendage peculiar to the Grasses), or Sometimes not; in some cases there is no fissure, and the sheath extends beyond the insertion of the leafstalk in the form of ‘an ocrea (or gaiterlike appendage. Jnflorescence at times a close spike, at others a bunch or ra- ceme, seldom inclining to the nature of a panicle, frequently terminates the Stem or scape, rarely issues from the side. General bractes either perma-
_ nent or caducous: partial ones spathaceous obconically convolute, in most
instances two-flowered, one flower opening before the other, which often
- The essential characteristics of this natural grow may be summed up in “the twofold floral envelope (double perianth), solitary stamen, and seed
with a vitellus.” “i

The species has been adopted and its distinctions de-
fined by Mr. Roscoe, who has liberally communicated to us the character intended for his own work. We are not apprized of any other synonym than the one that is added; and presume, since no other has been adduced by.a writer so deeply versed in the study of this natural fa- mily, and whose pen has been more than once and still is. employed in its illustration, that no other can be identified with the species. . 46}
~ One variety of limbata has a narrow crenulated gold- coloured edge to the limb of the corolla, and is in that state the type of the plant represented in the publication we have cited. According to Mr. Roscoe, the species may be known among its congeners, “ by the upper lip of the inner:
limb being divided into three segments, each notched and
crenulate at the end, a longish unguis, and a two-cleft lower lip (entire in our figure?) which points downwards.” We have no information concerning the place of its origin. |

In this species the upper lip of the inner limb of the flower is divided into two segments only, instead of three, as in the preceding’ one; the segments are ovate, uneven, and entire; the lower lip pointing downwards (perhaps re- volute?)
We have no further information concerning the plant than is contained in the above character. From its specific name we should guess it to be native of the West Indies.

The drawing of *this Sindh plant, was taken in a hot- house belonging to Mr. Hatfield, at the Alp’ ha Cottages. We were told, that it had attained the height of about four feet ; but had no portunity of seeing any part of the” plant.
The ert ic, AAR PT been derived from the an- nexed figure ; “and as far as we can judge consists in the
scattered numerous, somewhat oblong, broadly spreading
spike; several flowered distantly removed fascicles; bractes much shorter than the tube, and enveloping the flowers closely; two cuneately spatulate inner segments, with ovate obtuse terminations; a labellum with an obovate two-cleft
lamina, the lobes of which are halved, diverging, and ob-
tuse; a short channelled unguis; and a filament longer than the corolla, and of a different colour. But the most strik- ing distinction from all the species known to us seems to be the great breadth of the inflorescence.
The plant has been only lately received in this country
from the Calcutta garden; where we hear it was introduced
by Mr. Gardner, the East India Company’s resident at the seat of the Nepal government.
Of this genus our gardens, till of late years, contained but one species, H. coronarium; and, indeed, until the ap- pearance of the oe Indica, that was the only one record-
AA 2
ed in the general systems. Five others have appeared in Dr. Roxburgh’s work; one, if not two, in Curtis’s Botan- ical Magazine; and two have been published in the Botan- ical Register; besides those which may have been recorded by Sir James Smith in Rees’s Cyclopedia, the volumes of which we happen at this moment not to have at hand to refer to. The genus is said to be daily increasing in our collections; and the major part of it to be derived from Nepal and the adjacent countries, the most copious sources of its various species. _

This fine plant, we believe the only one of the species that has appeared in our collections, was raised in the hot- house at Boyton, in Wiltshire, by seed taken from samples collected by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, as Mr. Lambert informs us, nearly thirty years it was committed to the ground.

the finest species We are infor
med by Mr. Don, the meritorious secretary Society, that the stem of the plant at Boy- ton is about the thickness of a man’s finger, from five to six feet high, and of a blood red colour; that the leaves are broadly elliptic, of a beautiful bluish green with a purplish edge, the root remarkably thick and fleshy, and composed of oblong cylindrical tubers.
There is no doubt that the sample collected by Don José Pavon in Peru, and now deposited in the Lambertian Her- barium, belongs to this species, and not to Canna Lamberti;

The sample for the drawing came from Boyton House, and was sent to our draughtsman, by Mr. Lambert, for the use of this work, with the courtesy we have so long expe- rienced. ;
Not having been able to inspect the fresh flower, we have taken the distinctions of the species from -the figure; which shows it to belong to a very distinct one from Lam- berti, and indeed from all the others we are acquainted with of the genus. .

AupInia, the present species would not have impressed us

From any acquaintance swe have with: the - i
'
with a claim to rank in the genus. The flower is more strictly tubular, and proportionately longer, than in that group ; the label falls short of the outer limb, instead of ex- ceeding it; the anther is sessile, instead of being elevated by a filament; the inflorescence terminates a lateral scape, which is enveloped by sphacelately membranous sheaths, instead of a central-stem enveloped by a green foliage. In this last circumstance, however, the plant probably coin- cides with Aupinia occidentalis, and the second section of - the genus as arranged in the Flora Indica of Roxburgh. ° But we have fixed its present place, rather from an agree-. ment in respect to the technical character of Auprnia, than from a conviction of the species being a good member of the group; and willingly avail ourselves of a colourable pre- tence for not founding a genus with a new name upon an only species, whose affinities in the general system are less intimately known to us than to others of our cotemporaries, that happen to have made them their particular study. In this way we think we proceed with a juster regard to the interests of natural history, than by adding to the crude and desultory genera bandied about in the lucubrations of so many of its votaries. j
It has been already observed, and we think in more than one page of this work, that sound genera are the offspring of discretion and true criticism. Fancy may suggest that nature has traced with a wavering hand the fluctuating line which appears to bound these groups to-day to set them free to-morrow; but it is evident that their completion at least is left to the ingenuity of man; while reason and experience’ teach us, that she has drawn with steady purpose the immu- table boundaries that comprise the species, the basis of her rule. ¥
We know that some ingenious persons say, there are not even species; that organized existences are intercurrent, without stated or essential limits. To the truth of their as- sertion they bring, however, no other evidence, than that in their wisdom they have not found such limits; and seem more ready to presume an anomaly in the economy of nature, than to suspect a failure in their own sagacity. From such assumption, where hybrid procreation is ad- mitted, it would necessarily follow there was no check to the intermixture of proximate existences, and that the results were transmissable to all futurity. For if bounds
are admitted anywhere, we rejoin, that the individuals comprised ‘within their compass constitute the species. We care not how wide this compass may be taken. The per- petuation of groups of consimilar forms appears to us suf- ficient proof, that some check in this respect is main- tained in the rule of nature. If the case were otherwise, chaos might not be a chimerical view in the prospect of the universe ; the mind of man might be appalled by strange and unforeseen appeafances, while he himself might appre- hend, if such assumption were admitted, that his own race had no security from passing into some other mode of being. .
In respect to hybridous mixture, we have elsewhere ventured to suppose, that the infiuence of either of the procreating types might be more or less predominant, and. that, where the produce is continued by succeeding genera- tions, it finally resolves into one or other of those from which it sprung. It is true, that this proposition cannot at present be supported throughout by actual experiment; but then it is opposed to one where reason and experience ap- pears to us to be defied in every part.
Our belief is, that nature can be scanned in her works
in no other way than by the products of revolving periods,
during which the countervailing processes by which she re-
_ duces her apparent aberrations are in progress; and that.
when these can be taken into account, her true rule is made manifest. ; ;
The subject of the annexed drawing was raised in the hothouse at Boyton. The seed was sent from Demerara to Mr. Lambert, to whom we are obliged for the sample for description, which however was not completed from the fresh flower.
We have not identified the plant with any recorded species. Among the unpublished engravings in Mr. Lam- bert’s library, there is one intended for a work of Plumier’s, which clearly represents either one of the same species, or else one of the same genus. It was pointed out to us by Mr. Don, to whose assistance we owe much contained in the description of this species.

APPENDIX.
A REVIEW OF THE GENUS JASMINUM,
THE incorporation of the species occurring in the Flora Indica of Rox- burgh, the majority of which are there noticed for the first time, and have not been transferred to any of the general systems, is the only claim to attention that can be advanced for the ensuing Review.
Dr. Roxburgh, though manifestly a man of talent and considerable shrewdness, was negligent in his writing, inattentive to method, and ap- parently endowed with a very slender share of literary education. The descriptions of the objects of his pursuit will be found replete with important matter and useful remarks, obscured by circumlocution and repetition, and still more by untechnical ambiguous terms, not unfrequently the vehicles of a sense in direct opposition with that intended. Others will judge whether we have retained the good, and rejected the faulty; we can only vouch for having presented the matter in a smaller compass, dnd ina tongue more ge- nerally in use among the students of Botany, than the one in which it stands in the original place. seas
We are unable to decide to our satisfaction, taking the descriptions for the standard, whether arborescens and latifolium may not be the types of the double and full varieties of Sambac, so well known as the ei and Tuscan Jasmines. If neither of these is the type of any Epresunted variety of that species, it has not been found wild in any part of India by the author of the Flora Indica. Grandiflorum is another of the genus, which the Doctor neyer found wild in India, although universally held to be a native of that country. — at
Several of the Indian Jasmines have been recorded by Vahl by such brief and vague characters, that we can have no assurance that others in the Flora Indica may not be their iterations; at least we must rely upon the sagacity and attention of the writer of the latter work for their not being so,
Heterophyllum, apparently the most desirable and ornamental species of the genus, has not yet, we believe, appeared in our collections. Its large _ golden blossom is said to be produced in greater masses, and to be still more fragrant than that of revolutum, with which it agrees in colour.

Canna gigantea. Supra vol. 4. fol. 206. ints tot Qceahe
_ Owing to a mistake in the remarks on Dr. Roxburgh’s descriptions of Scitamineous plants by Mr. Roscoe, in the 10th volume of the Linnean Transactions, we not only did not recognize CANNA gigantea of Redouté in CANNA latifolia of that celebrated writer, but were led to suspect his CAN- NA patens to be CANNA gigantea. Mr. Roscoe, in'a subsequent letter to us, has set this matter right, and sent an amended character of latifolia for our use: so that the front of the above article should be now altered as fol- lows; the name of /atifolia, having seniority of that of gigantea, must be preferred, and the doubtful synonym of patens omitted.
Canna latifolia. Woolly-stem’d Indian-shot. ee ; C. latifolia, corollz limbi interioris labio superiore tripartito, laciniis acutis vagé patentibus, labello spathulato obsoleté lobato; ‘stylo petaloideo; foliis lato-ovatis; caule lanato. Roscoe MSS.; (ex angl.vers:) Canna latifolia. Roscoe in linn. soc. transact. 10, : ; “Canna gigantea. Redouté liliac. 331. Nob. supra loc. cit. (excluso CANNA patente.) “me ili ’ ; os ; Canna Lamberti. Supra vol. 6. fol. 470. We have no doubt that the prototype sample of the CANNA indica of the Flora Peruviana has been too hastily referred to the species of the above article; and that if Mr, Lindley, whose acuteness is seldom at fault, had had
an opportunity of comparing the CANNA edulis of the present volume with
that sample, he would not have hesitated in referring it to the latter species, to which we have ourselves applied it. (See No. 775.) ae
We understand from Mr. Roscoe, who, according to his usual courtesy, has favoured us with the distinctive character intended for CANNA Lamberti, in his approaching work on the Monandrous Class, that the plant is known in some Nurseries by the title of maxima, a name that applies neither to the whole nor to a part. magical

We cannot agree with the ingenious botanist by whom the above article was contributed to our work, in considering the subject of it in the light of a plant that bears about itself that which precaution has taught us to consider _ as sufficient evidence of distinctness as a species ; and we are led to reserve
it for further proof and future decision, under the following front arrange- ment:

but we prefer such evasion to the risk of foisting a non-entity into the history
of Nature for an incontrovertible species.
