The publication of the prefent plant, which can only be confidered as a more luxuriant and perfe& fpecimen of that already defcribed in No. 1123, was unintentional, We had long wifhed to procure a drawing of Iris verna for the prefent work ; when Mr. Warttey, of Brompton, kindly informed us that he had numerous fpecimens of it in bloom, which he faid had been raifed from American feed; and the prefent plate was ready for publication, before we had convinced ourfelves that the plant reprefented could not be the one we were in fearch of, although generally but erroneoufly paffing for it. Verna was firft inftituted a fpecies by Gronovius in his “ Flora Virginica,” from the dried plant in Clayton’s Herbarium, ftill preferved in Sir Josern Banxs’s Mufeum; from him it has been adopted by Linnads and fubfequent authors; whofe details however afford but little affiftance in difcriminating it from the prefent fpecies. But a reference to the prototype in the above herba- rium, fhewed us that verva was either a mere variety of criflata (No. 412.) with narrower leaves and {maller flower; or if {pecifically diftin€t far nearer akin to that than the prefent {pecies, from which it differs by a feffile flower having a long filiform tube equal to or longer than the limb and about even with. its long narrow fpathe. Since the firft adoption by authors of verna into their fyftems, the figure from Pruxener’s work has been uniformly repeated by them as its fynonym ; now this figure any atientive obferver will foon find to belong to criflatas of which itis a diminifhed but very charaéteriftic reprefentation; where the circular ramenta of its creeping rootftock and long intervals between the fafcicles, as well as the cuneately oblong lamine, and their divaricately patent ungues of the outer fegments of the corolla are accurately defined. The omiffion of all mention of the three fingular crefted lines in the corolla of criflata (fubfequently taken up as a fpecies from ‘the living plant in the firft edition of Hortus Kewenfis), when we know that vera was defcribed from a dried f{pecimen in which they are obliterated or nearly fo, makes nothing againit our fuppofition of the identity of the two plants. We have feen crifata with leaves full as narrow as thofe of the plant in CLay- ton’s Herbarium. Mricuaux enumerates both as diftiné {pecics; but his defcription of verna, like thofe of his prede- ceffors, is rendered ufelefs by its vaguenefs. If we could fup- pofe that there was no miftake in Mr. Wurtiey’s account of the quarter from which the feeds of the prefent plant had been received, we might from the habitat guefs that Micaaux’s verna was meant for our plant. But we believe that there is an error in this account; and that ruthenica is of Ruffian origin alone and not of both Ruffian and Virginian, But of this we do not pretend to be pofitive; although we are fo that it 1s not the verva of Gronovius, Linnaus, or Mititer. In Hortus Kewenfis the cultivation of verna in our gardens was moft probably recorded folely on the authority of MirveR, as was that of fo many other plants in that work; and this is the more probable fince there is no fpecimen of it from thofe - gardens to be found im the Bankfian Herbarium. ‘To this circumftance we ftrongly fufpe€& we owe the formation of criftata and verna into diftin& {pecies. Ruthenica thrives well in the open border, where it flowers in April and ace the corolla has the fcent as well as colour of the violet; for further account fee No. 1123. G.

Loppices and Sons, under the name of Bomsax Carolinoides, an ap- pellation given it by Dr. Anperson of the Botanic Garden at St. Vincent’s, who was induced to refer it to that genus becaufe its feeds are enveloped in a fine brown cottony fubftance. But it is fo exa& a reprefentation in miniature of CaroLinea infignis, the fame truncated calyx, linear flefhy petals, and fingularly branched filaments, that we cannot confent to feparate it from that genus, and refer it to Bomsax, with the other fpecies of which it has fo much lefs affinity ; even though it fhould be found that the feeds of Caro.inea princeps and infignis have no cottony or other analogous envelope ; of which however we cannot find any certain proof, Caro inea minor differs from infignis not only in fize, the latter being a very lofty tree, but in the relative length of the peduncle, nearly twice that of the calyx, which in ijfignis is hardly fo long, though the calyx in the latter is more than fifteen, but in the former only about five times fhorter than the petals. The petals in our plant are green on both fides, in infignis, according to Swartz, they are of a bright red within, — : A The The Pacntra aquatica of Austet, CAROLINEA princeps Linn. is reprefented with large lanceolate ftigmas, but in the dried fpecimens that we have feen, which for aught’ we know may have all really belonged to C. infignis, they are juft as reprefented in our figure, or not fo large in proportion to the fize. of the flower. : Caro.inea minor, according to Dr. ANDERSON, is anative of Guiana, growing on the borders of rivers, and forming a very elegant tree ; but isnot commoneventhere.

As it unfortunately produced only male flowers, our charaéter of the female was neceflarily borrowed from Micaaux: that of the male we have made to correfpond with our ideas of its {tru@ture from aétual though too limited obfervation.

Thefe apparent per- forations are not, however, really fuch, but fo many clefts in the border of the fhield, the fides of which are clofely applied together towards the margin, but feparate at their termination towards the centre, fo as to form fmall oval openings, the edges of which are covered with a white pollen. In the flowers of our fpecimen the leaflets of the calyx exceeded nine; thefe are round, concave, and imbricate, the inner ones regularly increafing in fize and in intenfenefs of colour withinfide, till they become of a bright minium red.

Very clofely allied to variegata (fupta No. 5133) but is al- together a much larger plant with multifarious ambient leaves ‘Not trifarioufly, decuffated as in that, which are alfo of a much duller greyifh green, not undulately variegated as there, but marked with largifh diftin& oblong white blotches ; the pedicles are about half the length of the corolla, and not _ three or four times fhorter than that, as in variegata. Mitten, in his Di@tionary, after deferibing variegata, fays, “I have raifed a variety of this from feeds which I received from the Cape of Good Hope, with broader and flatter leaves, which fpread fpread more than thofe of the former, and are not fo beauti- fully fpotted; but as thefe plants have not flowered yet, fo I do not know if it will prove a diftin& {pecies.” This may very probably be our prefent fpecies. Native of the Cape of Good Hope; introduced before 1789. Our drawing was taken from a plant that flowered this fummer in Mr, Hawortu’s colle€tion. G eee ERRATA.

We have not met with the red-flowered plant in any of our colle€tions; but Monf. Repours, who has publifhed it in his “ Liliacees* under the name of latifolia, fays, that he received it from Mr. Woop- Forn’s colleftion in this country, by the name of PircairNia racemofa, and that it came originally from the Welft-Indies. The yellow flowered plant now given, is a native of the Ifland - of St. Vincent, whence it was introduced by Mr. Evans about 1799. We agree with the editor of the fecond edition of the Hortus Kewenfis in the belief that the two plants are mére varieties of each other. : The ftem of our fpecimen was about two feet high, and towards the bafe about the thicknefs of a man’s finger. Requires to be kept in the bark bed of a ftove, where it blooms early in the fummer. Flowers about an inch and a half long ; fcentlefs ; three or four expanding at a time, and decaying in the fpace of a few hours. Propagated by fuckers, G. . = S ge a “he NOTE.

Native of North-America. Culti- vated by P, Mriier in 1768. Blooms about June. Requires the prote@tion of a garden frame in very fevere weather in this > country, where it feldom feeds; and, being propagated with — fome difficulty by the root, is ftilla fcarce plant. Nor have we ever feen it in flower, until the prefent {pecimen was fent us by Meffrs. Loppices, from their Nurfery at Hackney. It is faid to be known by the name of Star-gra/s or Star-root in America, and ufed medicinally. Seeing that there are no leaves to the fpecimen in CLayron’s Herbarium, from which the “ Flora Virginica” was compiled by Gronovius; we Tufpe& that the very erroneous defcription of them in the firft edition of that work, was owing to this circumftance, which , org a fome other fource fhould be reforted to by the autnor. ° ‘ Sey ” n a" SpecieRuUM EnumeRatio. + farinofa.
