Peduncles the length of the petiole, axillary, 1—3 flowered (according to ForskAaut, when very vigorous, dichotomous, thrice divided), Pedic/es braéteated with two {mall ovate acute fcales about the middle. Calyx five-leaved : atts fhort, ovate, acute, concave, fmooth, very fhining withinfide. Coro/la large, violet purple, tube nearly cylindrical, contra€ted as far as the calyx: limb {fpreading, faucer-fhaped, cut at the margin into five acuminate points, {lrengthened by five pair of ribs prominent underneath, each pair feparate at the bottom, but converging till they. meet at the point of the fegment of the corolla; the part between thefe ribs is whitifh and fomewhat channelled. Thefe ribs, or rather the flripes occafioned by them, are rudely reprefented, in Vestino’s figure, and accurately defcribed by Forskax. Filaments unequal, fubfagittate longer than ftyle, within the tube. Stigma divided into furrowed lobes. This is moft probably the plant originally meant by Linn aus, though perhaps afterwards confounded by Murray, in the Syft. Vegetab. We have little doubt of its being the fame as defcribed by Vestine and Forskatt, and faid by them to be a very common ornamental plant in the gardens of Egypt, but perhaps not indigenous there. — The Betanic Garden at Brompton, where our drawing was taken, is indebted for this beautiful plant to Mifs Garrstpg, of Lancafhire, a lady eminently fkilled in delineating botanical fubjects. see It is eafily increafed by cuttings. Seems to love a tight Joamy foil. In the ftove it flowered through the greateft part of the Summer, but Mr. Sarispury thinks it will do till better in the greenhoufe. Native country uncertain. A fpecimen of a fimilar plant, apparently differing in nothing but the greater length of the peduncle, is preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium, brought by the late Sir Grorce Staunton from one of the Cape Verd Iflands. - The tomentofe axils, mentioned by Van1, who defcribed from Forsxax's dried fpecimens, do not appear in our plant. We have oftén occafion to regret the alterations made in ‘the fpecific charaéter on the authority of dried fpecimens only. It is not impoffible, but fome mouldinefs about the infertion of the peduncles, frequently occurring in fpecimens gathered In warm climates, may in this inftance have been miftaken for a natural woollinels. tie Se GN PT ae ~ 77 aya) U4 , > ee rT py “Ee ie pe ee “ a: Z a r a .

G. | The scl Becies andl i obi cadets communis: ( Noi86 iis | this ee have been ufually reckoned varieties of each other, — ee, ee at leaft by the more modefn Botanifts; but, as we think, with- out reafon ; for the differences are feveral and material, the proefs, ef the one having contributed in any way. to, the pro- duéiion of the other, none. ——— Our plant has a fmaller bulb-tuber, flenderer leaves; the larger or upper fegment of its corolla removed from between and fufpended over its lateral ones, not enclofed by them as in communis ; the upper lateral fegments are about equal to or even narrower than the three lower ones, while in that they are far broader; the three lower ones are equal among them- felves, or the middle may be a little narrower, but in come _ munis this is twice the broadeft; the anthers are alfo longer than their filaments in this, which is not the cafe there; and above all our fpecies may be diftinguifhed from the other by its round, folid, fubbaccate feeds, having a thin lamina of reddith pulp between their coats, but which is not quite { thick as in Basrana, while in that they are dry, chally an flat, edged with a broad membranous wing or border, formed of the tunic, which is much larger than its fmall cartilaginous nucleus, round which its vacant portion is preffed quite flat, tiearly as in the Cape fpecies. Whenever we have fpoken of Graptotvs communis, this ~ was the plant we had in view; but as the other has been already publifhed, under that name, by Mr. Curtis, in this work, and fince it is often impoffible to determine which is meant by many Botanifts, we have thought fit to let the original name remain with that, though our plant is doubtlefsly included by Linn aus in his books as a variety ; or indeed may be the one he intends in his defcription. "A native of Dauphiny and moft probably of other parts of South Europe. Desronraines found it in Algiers. It grows among corn and in dry funny expofures on low hills. In our collettions it is not now nearly fo common as the communis s we found it in the Botanic Garden of Mr. Sattsszury, Bromp- ton, where the drawing was taken; quite hardy, flowering about May or June, and propagates abundantly both by feed and offsets. We have no doubt but that there are other European fpecies, that have merged as varieties of each other under one title, but which we fhall endeavour to deteé& and diftinguifh in our numbers. The Bankfian Herbarium contains a feeded {peci- men, which feems to be our plant, brought from Madeira, by Mr. Masson. According to ZaANNIcHELL: (who gives an accurate defeription of the plant) our fpecies grows in the Ve- netian territory, and varies much inthe number of flowers; it is called Guiacerute by the inhabitants, G.

It was imported from the Weft-Indies, where it is indigenous in feveral of the iflands, growi1 mountains among the roots of trees, but not parafitical according to Swartz. Jacquin fays that it occurs likewife on old walls. Swartz places this genus in the natural order of Conrorraz between Gardenia and Cerbera, but Jussteu fe- parates thefe two, placing the former in the order of Rudiacee, with which he joins this, the latter in that of Apocince, the Contorte of Linnaxus. It may be confidered perhaps as a connefting link between the two orders, approaching nearer to Coutorte in the twifted fegments of the corolla and the pappous feeds, and to Rubiacee in habit.

Stem 1—2 fect high, round, jointed, upright, apparently naked, but clofely enveloped, for more than half its height, by fmooth, clofe- fitting, fheath-like leaves, ending in remote, fhort, acute points, the upper one being often extended for a fhort diftance beyond the fheath; fterile bulbs produce from out a longifh, com- preffed, coloured root-fheath a fingle, narrow, linear, acu- minate, upright, ftiffith, pubefcent leaf, generally fomewhat twifted and three-nerved. Both valves of the fpathes quite entire, about equal with the faux. Limb of the corolla cy- lindro-campanulate, fubringent, nodding ; fegments twice Jonger than the tubular part; upper one broadeft, obovate- lanceolate, concave, enclofed between’ its lateral ones ; thefe narrower and more acute; lower ones narroweft, conniving into a propendent nether lip; the middle fegment is over- fpread by the fides of the other two, than which it is rather wider, and from which it is not fo deeply divided as thefe from the reft; the under fide of the faux is trijugofe or ftreaked with three prominent ridges formed of the rachides of the lower concrete portion of the fegments, Organs. of fruétifi- cation fhorter than corolla.

G We prefent our ‘readers with a {pecies of this. genus- that bas pase eenarkes, from the days of pag oe and Parkin~ SON son to our own, for an unufual relu&ance to enliven the gardens, on this fide the Alps and Pyrenees, with its gay fragrant blofloms: or if by chance a fingle root has: been found to reward fo far the affiduity of a cultivator, it has been but for once, and then frefhly imported ; when, moft probably, the flower-bud had been formed in the country from which it was brought; this either rots immediately after the effort, or waftes itfelf in the producing an offspring that — here continues fterile. Thus much is afcertained as to the Levant plant, and we fear, the fame will be found to be true in regard to that from Madeira, whence our fpecimen was brought by Captain Grey of the Navy. As yet no difference has been deteéted between the individuals of this {fpecies from thefe mutually remote regions ; though the whole habit is fo very peculiar, that, did any really exift, it would not be difficult to be difcovered. But we are the more inclined to believe them perfeétly fimilar, fince we know, beyond a doubt, that thefe countries do poffefs feveral other f{pecies of vegetables incommon. _ ? Bulb tunicate, white, about the fize of a walnut. Leaves attenuately thong-fhaped, lax, convex outwards, about an inch or more broad, fhining, minutely ciliate, more or lefs caudate, in native fpecimens 1—2 feet in length. The beauty of the flowers is fingularly increafed by the contraft of their large, umbonate, black-green germen; whence RENEALME, who found it growing {pontaneoufly in Egypt, near the town of Alexandria, named the plant MeLanompuate. Outer feg- ments generally bearing a corniform mucro that iffues from beneath the teeth. Filaments upright, flightly patent, twice fhorter than the corolla. Germen turbinate-{phzroid, flightly fixfulcate ; ftyle ftraight, fliform-trigonal. Stigma capitate, trilobate, fubpubefcent, | i _ Crusrus tells us that the bulbs were ufed to be brought from Conftantinople to Vienna, and called by the Turks Zunbul Arabi or Arabian bulbs. In Italy it was named the Alexan- drian Lily or Facintho del Paternofter. | 3 aie Lamarck met with the plant in great abundance on thé fandy plains of Barbary, efpecially in the country of the Zulmis, where it blooms in April. DesronTaINes fays, it grows in the fields round Algiers. The Levant plant was cul- tivated in this country by old Parxinson, who feems to havé made it flower, at leaft once, though Mi.zrer never could.

The flowers are of a pale blue colour beautifully ftreaked rom the centre with veins of dark purple, and when ex- panded are very pleafing to the eye; but unfortunately this is only while the fun fhines. a ee There appears to have been fome difficulty in determining the natural order to which this plant belongs; JusstEv con- fiders it as neareft related to Ls ephanined (afperifolia of Lainnays) to which order it is-alfo added in the poftiuaions ee egiures leftures of Linnaus, publifhed by Giszxz, but Gertner feems to have fatisfa€torily decided it to belong more properly to the /olanée or luride of Linnavs. In habit it approaches to Convolvulus, and particularly to Convolvulus tricolor. To have it flower early enough to ripen its feeds, it fhould be fown in ‘March or April on a gentle hot-bed. with other tender annuals, and may be planted in the open border by the latter end of May, or if intended to be kept ina pot, MitieR direéts that they fhould be planted fingly, when of a proper fize, in a {mall pot filled with light earth and plunged into a frefh hot-bed to bring them forward.

In the ftove it forms a handfome ever-green fhrub and pro- duces its flower in clufters at or near the extremities of the branches, and not, as reprefented in the miferable figure of Piso, in the ale of the leaves. This figure is however moft probably entirely imaginary and made from the defcription only. The wood when cut is faid to have a very offenfive fmell, and every part of the tree nds with a milky juice fuppofed to be highly deleterious. The hard fhells of the nuts nuts are ufed by the Indians for the fame purpofe as morris- bells were formerly, and in fome few places ftill are, applied in this country ; a number of them, being ftrung together and faftened on a kind of bracelet, are thus tied round their arms and legs, both for the fake of ornament and of found in dancing. Calyx divided half-way in five fegments acute and refle&ed. Tube of corolla nearly ftraight, dilated at the upper part but clofed at the mouth, where it is marked with five deep fur- rows: Limb divided into five oval fegments, oblique or twifted, with undulated margins. Anthers five, on very fhort filaments, enclofed in the upper inflated part of the tube. Style the Jength of the tube: Stigma bifid, top-fhaped, furrounded at the bafe by a circle of greenifh glands, whence apparently diftils a honev, with which, inthe {pecimen we examined, the whole tube was filled; it was colourlefs, very fweet and per- feéily free from any naufeous or acrid tafte, notwithftanding the poifonous quality of the other juices of the plant. Cexsera Thevetia and our tree appear to be congeners ; but Garner obferves that Cersexa Manghas will by no means unite in the fame genus. ee In natural order, Jussieu agrees with Linn 2us in affign- ing it a flation with the apocinee (contorte, Lin.) but thus fe- parates it in his fyftem from Garpenia and Hitzrra; with which, particularly the latter, it feems to us to have cons fiderable affinity in the flower and habit, though not in the fruit. Propagated by cuttings or from imported feeds, as it never produces any with ‘us.

A native of Chili; of the greater value as, contrary toits more gaudy congeners, it has an agreeable fmell. This plant has been accurately deferibed by Cavanities from the © Madrid garden, whence it was introduced into this country. This author does not notice that the leaves are full of pellucid points, giving them an appearance as if perforated when held up tothe light; but this circumftance is common to fome other {pecies of Tagetes. He defcribes the pappus as confifting of ufually five unequal arifte, but there are in faé but two, which are equal, fomewhat divaricate upwards, about one-third the length of the feed, minutely jagged on the outfide; €xcept thefe, we could obferve only the mere remains of the tube of © the floret, The number of the arifte muft be therefore lefs limited in the generic charafter or this mutt be feparated from the genus. a Our drawing was made at Meffrs. Gratmwoop and WvxEs’s. The root is perennial and may be increafed by parting, or frefh plants may be raifed from feeds, which it produces freely.

This is remarkably the cafe in this fpecies. We have fome fufpicion that our plant may be the Lobelia patula of Tuunsere, but from his very imperfeé& defcription alone, it is impoffible to afcertain this. It agrees with his obfervation of feldom having flowers and leaves at the fame time, but as he fays “ caulibus patulo diffufis,” his plant would not feem to be an annual with only one ftalk, therefore we have not dared to adopt the name of patula, | Sxd Edvard: del.

In other. refpeéts this fhrub is fo well defcribed by Linnaeus in the Species — acct: Plantarum, as to make any repetition unneceffary. The variety figured by Jacguin, if accurately coloured, has the advantage of being more fhewy than ours, the wings of the corolla being of a bright red and the other parts of a delicate lilac. The ftipule in his figure are black ; this we have fometimes feen, but more ufually with us they are of the fame green with the reft of the plant. Flowers in July, but by artificial heat, which it bears well, may be made to bloffom much earlier. In fome colle@ions where this plant has long been preferved, its flower-buds which appear annually late in the year, decay without ever expanding. May be propagated by cuttings.

Notwithftanding all the pains that Von Wo LFEN, in guin’s Collefanea, has taken to eftablifh a diftin@ion between his Anprosace villofa and Chamejafme, we confefs ourfelves ftill to have been at a lofs to decide to which of thefe {pecies our plant belongs, nor can we perfuade ourfelves that the reverend author has fatisfaftorily eftablifhed a {pecific diftintion between them. If really different, we fhould be inclined to confider our plant as the one intended by Linn aus, Scopont, and Jacquin in his Flora Auftriaca, under this title, and that figured in Jacguin’s Colle&tanea, as a new fpecies not noticed by any - preceding author. The hairinefs of the leaves in the cultivated plant, at leaft, is not at all to be depended upon; in one we faw laft year at Mr. Lopnreegs, the leaves were fo thickly covered with long white hairs, as to give the whole a hoary appearance; in the fame fame this year the leaves are of a deep green colour, with comparatively few hairs; nor are they in all fpecimens equally obtufe at the point; thofe: in. the one from whick our drawing was taken being much more acute than in Mr. Loppices’s plants, though undoubtedly the fame {pecies.. Hatter fays it has both obtufe and lanceolate leaves; indeed the whole of his excellent defcription leaves no room to doubt of the identity of his plant with ours. : The fcape is red, very ereét, as in the figure in Jacguin’s Flora Auftriaca, and the umbel, ‘asin that, is furrounded with an involucre of 5—7 leaflets, fimilar to the leaves but fome- what narrower. Pedicles about the length of the involucre. Calyx rather ovate-campanulate than turbinate and deeply divided into» five: conniving: fegments. Corolla white, but marked at the centre with a bright red.or yellow eye:: tube) perfeétly ovate, yellowifh, clofely embraced by the calyx: limb 5-cleft, fegments roundifh, quite entire, or fometimes -flightly emarginate: faux a circular opening, through which the five yellow anthers. are difcernible, the glands and’ plica, defcribed by Hauver and other authors, being very minute ard not. clofing this part: Filaments attached to the lower part of the tube.

Some of the above charafters: correfpond with Von Wuvren’s ANDROSACE villofa, others with his Chameja/me ; but the former may per- haps, as before obferved,. be a new fpecies diftinguified’ more’ efpecially by the glaucous colour of the leaves: and? the in- volucre confifting of only two or three leaflets.

To the indefatigable Mr. Fraser, of Sloane-Square, Chel- fea, we are indebted for its introdu@iom into this country. He informs us that he firft difcovered it at thé foot of the mountains at the back part of the State of Georgia, in the year 1786. Not finding that any Botanift here was at all ac- quainted with the plant, he felt himfelf at liberty to name it after the Marquis of BLanprorp; we are forry, by reftoring the original Linnean appellation, to deprive this nobleman of this well-merited honour. Micuaux found it on the high mountains of Carolina, flowering in May... This author - refers it to Monadelphia, but as it has not..the fmalleft affinity with any other plants of this clafs, we rather choofe to, leave it where Linnaus had arranged it, although what, we call the tubular ne@ary, to which the ftamens are attached, may, perhaps, without impropriety, be confidered as formed by the junétion of the filaments. It is probably a hardy her- baceous plant, though whilft fo fearce it may be fafeft to thelter it through the Winter in the Green-Houfe, by which means — too the old leaves being longer preferved, continue after the plant is in flower, and add much to its beauty. Is eafily pros ee by means of its creeping root.

We have only to regret that the very low price of the work will not admit of our giving the ufual number of figures. The expence and trouble of this number are fully equal to thofe which contain eight ; and, were the labour of our artifts adequately rewarded, would be confiderably greater. Our drawing was taken from a very fine fpecimen which flowered laft Spring in the colleétion of E. J. A. Wooprorp, Efq. at Vauxhall. Another is at this time coming into flower at Mr. Barr’s, Ball's-Pond, Iflington, which though of fmaller fize promifes a greater intenfity of colour, which is probably owing to the time of year admitting of a more free expolure to air, a circumftance generally known to heighten the colour of flowers.

VenTeENaT, a celebrated French Botanift, has very — properly feparated the fpecies of Cape Adonis from the others, forming them into a diftin& genus; but as this was done before, by R. A. Satissury, Efg. in the Prodromus of Plants grow- ing in his garden at Chapel Allerton, publifhed in 1796, we retain the name of KNowLTonia, given by him, in comme- moration of Mr. Know.tTon, an ingenious and fuccefsful . ; : — cultivator, | cultivator, a contemporary of Mr. Puirirp Miiver, who for- merly had the management of Dr. Suerarp’s celebrated garden at Eltham; both as having the right of priority and being preferable to ANaMeNrIA, a word formed from the Arabic Anabaman, fignifying an Adonis or Anemony. Mr. Satispury doubts whether this be really a diftin& fpecies from capenfis, from which it feems to differ chiefly in bearing an umbel of much fewer flowers and in the narrow- nefs of the petals. M. Ventenat has given an excellent figure of the latter, under the name of ANaMENIA cortacea. As all the fpecies are from the Cape, capen/is is undoubtedly an improper name, but we think ought neverthelefs to be retained, for we confider it as a rule, rarely to be deviated from, that where it may become neceffary to change the genus, the {pecific name before in ufe fhould ftill be preferved.

Kati Suppl. 181. ail XERANTHEMUM Variegaium appears to be very fubje& to vary in the fize and colour of its flowers, being fometimes nearly white, but the coloured tips of the fcales of the calyx — feem to be conftant in all. This colour is always ferrugineous but fometimes mixed more or lefs with purple or red ; the mar- gins and tips of the leaves likewife partake of the fame colour. Of all the varieties that we have feen, the one here figured is by far the moft fplendid: it flowered in May laft at Mr. Sa.issury’s, atthe Botanic Garden, Brompton; the difc of the flower, at a particular period of its blooming, fhewing three — _ diftin& circles of different and highly contrafted colours; the outer circle, confifting of the fully expanded florets which thew their yellow infides, is of a golden hue; the next, compofed of florets florets not yet opened and fhewingtheir dark outfides, isof a black purple, whilft the centre “is white from the young florets re- maining as yet hidden-below, the pappus.., The fialk is: fome- what twifted, which gives the leaves a fpiral turn around it; this is more efpieciallyy: obfervable’ before the'plant comes into flower; and we fufpeé that renee emt Latte is a mere variety of this.fpecies.. .... Is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, cat he fhelter of the greenhoufe is neceflary to preferve it from froft; but with moft of its congeners it requires an airy fituation, or is in danger of being deftroyed by damps. ee ‘wa Fi oS Sw ” ee a { a) % r § “ € zs . 2% ¢ ge = b ka we - r eG, ER > ~ a et Ft . a fo me < 4 « 2 s: * Zz * — 2 Fa Peete tence esti iten ty eA eee FT 5 f A hattieg titi.
