In the denticulation of the leaves, and the length of the tube of the calyx, it refembles Joxgifora, but is a much {moother plant, and differs materially in the fruit, which is {mooth, oval, four-winged, and ftands ona footftalk inftead of being feffile, cylindrical, and hifpid. The root is faid to be perennial. Found by Mr. Nurtatx in the neighbourhood of the Miffouri in North-America, who brought many novel and curious plants from that country; fome of which that flowered at Liverpoo} laft year, he kindly tranfmitted us recent fpecimens of. But our draughtfman being unfortunately abfent on a journey into Wales at the time, we had no opportunity of availing ourfelves of them for this work. We do not find that this fpecies has been before noticed : it feems to differ from every one defcribed by Micuaux or by Pursu, whofe valuable Flora, fpeedily to be publifhed, we have been favoured with the opportunity of confulting.

This fpecies is, in the Hortus Kewenfis, attempted to be diftinguifhed from eriocephala by the fmoothnefs of its capitula; but this chara€ter by no means holds, the woolinefs being very variable in degree in both fpecies; for though the corolla is lefs hairy in purpurea, yet the infide of the fcales of the involucre is often covered with a denfe wool; and fometimes in eriocephala this woolinefs is much diminifhed by the almoft total want of . the involucre, as in our figure, No. 1295. In the prefent {fpecies we have obferved the woolinefs to remain long alter the flowers have difappeared. The chief diftinétion is, the leaves of purpurea being far lefs clofely imbricated, longer, and more pointed: the laciniz of the corolla too are both longer and more acute. The filaments are inferted at the fuperior edge of the tube, as in PasseRINA. > The Lacuna purpurea is a handfome greenhoufe fhrub, and takes up but little room. It requires plenty of frefh air, being very apt to damp off in the winter if kept too clofe. Flowers in June and July. Introduced by Grorce Hrs- BERT, Efq. from the Cape of Good Hope.

It is a native of Siberia, Swit- zerland, and of moft mountainous diftri€ts in fouthern Europe. The term arbore/cens was applied to it, not from any woodinefs — inthe ftem, which is perfe€lly herbaceous, but merely on account of its gigantic ftature, when compared with the common violet : a loofe way of fpeaking not unufual in thofe times. : It varies in height from fix inches.to a foot and half; is ufually without feent; but MarrxHzoxius mentions his receiving a violet, apparently of this fpecies, from CatzoLarius, who gathered it on Monte Baldo, and which had a charming odour. Wrtticu, in his obfervations, remarks that the corollas, which in the lower flowers are large and fhewy, become fmaller in the fuperior ; and that the uppermoft flowers have none at all ; and Roru obferves, that the inferior flowers with large corollas are frequently barren, but that the fuperior apetalous flowers which continue blowing later in the fummer, are conftantl fertile. This circumftance, of fertile flowers without corollas continuing to be produced after all the fhewy bloffoms aye over, is common to feveral fpecies of violets.

Clayton Several fpecies of this genus are fo prone to vary in the form of their leaves, degree of pubefcence, and even in the ipon the fame peduncle, that no gre: ftrefs number of flowers a . can be laid upon any of thefe charaéters feparately, yet perha there are often no better to be found, to eftablith a {peci diftin@tion upon. ~ This variablenefs of charaéter often renders it extremely dik ficult to afcertain the fynonymy, and leaves us in doubt whether fome ’ fome of the fynonyms applied to Convotvutus panduratus of Linnzus do not really belong to this fpecies. From the one figured by DicLEenius, however, which is always referred to panduraius, our plant appears to be fufficiently diftin& in all | the above-mentioned charaéters; having many more flowers on one peduncle, and being quite fmooth in every part, except a very minute tomentum on the underfide of the leaves. It ap- pears too to be a much larger plant than panduratus, and the bloffoms exceed in fize thofe of every other {pecies that we have feen. This fpecies feems to have a very near affinity with Convotvutus Jalapa (No. 1572) and is perhaps the fame as that defcribed under this name in the fixth edition of Miiuzr’s Diétionary. - oe - We are indebted to the Honourable Mr. Hersert, for the opportunity of prefenting our readers with a reprefentation of this beautiful plant, from whom we learn that it has a large tuberous root, and is probably fufficiently hardy to bear our winters without protection; but our fummers are {fcarcely warm enough to make it bloffom well. The fpecimen from which our drawing was made was aided by artificial heat in the fpring, and it was obferved that the flowers in the latter part of the fummer were not nearly fo large and fhewy as thofe pro- duced in the warm funny weather.

That the plant here reprefented is the Vaccinium diffufum of the Hortus Kewenfis, we have the authority of the fpecimen from the Royal Garden at Kew, preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium. ‘ Our drawing was taken from a plant imported from South- Carolina, by Mr. Lyons, and purchafed from his collection, by — by Meffrs. Lopprczs and Sons, under the name of ardoreum ; and we fee no reafon to doubt that it really is the arboreum of Micuaux. The apparent difference in the charatters feems to arife from a different mode of conceiving the fame thing : Dr. Soranper confidering the peduncles, which grow fingly from the axils of each leaf, as being folitary ; whilft Micuaux regards the flowering extremities of the branches as racemes, and the leaves at the bafe of each pedicle as brates. According to the laft-mentioned author, this {pecies grows into a tree fifteen or twenty feet high. With us it forms a diffufe irregular fhrub, with red flexuofe dranches. Leaves al- ternate, elliptical, pointed, fhining on the upper fide and flightly pubefcent underneath, margins recurved and befet here and there with little glands, giving an obfoletely toothed appearance : foot{talks very fhort. Tafte of the leaves agreeably acid. The flowers grow from the extreme branches on folitary filiform peduncles curved at the point, one from the axil of each leaf, alternate, yet looking all one way. Or, perhaps, thefe leaves may as properly be confidered as braétes; though they differ not from the other leaves on the fame branches. On the branches without flowers the leaves are nearly twice the fize, but are in other refpeéts fimilar. Corol/as campanulate with the lacinix recurved at the point: in our fpecimen pure white. Stamens included: Anthers two-awned.

The Hetrorropium corymbofum, as a flowering fhrub, is far more pleafing to the eye than the common fragrant fort (H. pe- ruvianum, Bot. Mag. No. 141.) but then it is devoid of that — delightful perfume, for which the other is fo et prized, — the {cent of this, though fweet, being not very agreeable. We have obferved this plant for four or five years paft in— fome of our more curious colle&ions, where it has gone by the name of grandiflorum ; butit is undoubtedly the {pecies defcribed by Ruiz and Pavon in the Flora Peruviana. We were for fome time inclined to regard it as a mere accidental variety of H. peruvianum, with which it bears a near affinity ; upon a careful comparifon of the two, however, we were foon con- vinced of their being fpecifically diftin€t. The flowering /pikes of our prefent plant inftead of being crowded together, as in : Be peruvianum, peruvianum, are more diffufe, and fometimes, when fully ex- panded, even form a large dichotomous panicle; the teeth of | the calyx are longer, narrower, and le{s hifpid, as is the whole plant; the ude of the corolla nearly twice the length of the calyx, and expanded upwards; faux clofed by means of five green foldings; the leaves are longer, far more narrowed to- wards the footftalk, the tranfverfe veins not half fo numerous, nor running fo parallel. This fpecies is not taken up in the new edition of the Hortus Kewentfis, Native of Peru. Flowers moft part of the fummer. Re- quires the fame treatment, and is as eafily propagated, as the common Heliotropium. ‘ Our drawing was taken at the Hammerfmith Nurfery, Mefirs, Lez and Kennepy, in September 1812. M1070. dyd?

The flowers are ufually produced fingly at the extremities of the branches, and for the moft part fall off before the leaves make their appearance ; and on this account it is far lefs agreeable to the eye than the Macnotia grandiflora, whofe magnificent bloffoms are beautifully contrafted, by being embofomed in large fhining leaves. Two other varieties are faid to be known in China, one with pale rofe-coloured, and the other with double bloffoms; but neither has found its way into our gardens, and indeed are extremely rare even in China, ae pa As moft deciduous trees are lefs impatient of cold than thofe that are evergreen, it is not improbable but that the Macno ta con/picua may bear our winters in the open ground; but our fprings are generally too rough to allow us to expeét that the bloffoms which appear fo early in the year will arrive at tolerable perfeétion without fhelter.

The increafe of the number of the petals, frequently to the exclufion of the ftamens, is the moft ufual deviation from nature, and makes that kind of monftrofity which, for want of a more appropriate name, we fomewhat improperly call a double flower, The The variety we have here given, arifes from the multiplica- tion of the four fcales at the bafe of the calyx, continued fome- times the length of the finger, to the exclufion of the other parts of the flower, and forming a four-fided {pike, not unaptly compared to an ear of wheat. When the multiplication of the {cales is lefs extenfive, a more or lefs perfect flower is produced. In all the plants that we have feen, the flowers were double; but in that defcribed by Linn vs in his Hortus Cliffortanus, it was fingle. A monftrofity, occafioned by the multiplication of the parts of the calyx, is fo extremely rare, that Linnaus remarked he had hardly feen another inftance of it; and he thought it of fufficient importance to induce him to affix to this variety the trivial name of imbricatus. We do not find this fingular monftrofity mentioned by Parx1n- SON, nor is any notice taken of it, except the mere quotation of the Linnean name in Martin’s Mixver’s Diétionary ; and it is altogether omitted in both editions of the Hortus Kewenfis.

Arnopocon has been feparated by modern Botanifts from Tracorocon, on account of the calyx being of one. entire entire piece, divided upwards into eight fegments; whereas in the latter the calyx confifts of feveral difting& leaflets. Scopori firft made a diftin€t genus of it, and gave it the name of Urospermum, which was adopted by Jussieu, and has been fince retained by Lamarcx and Decanpotir. We do not know why Wiiipznow thought fit to rejett it for that of Annopocon; butas the latter name is adopted by Persoon and in the new edition of the Hortus Kewenfis, we think it beft to deviate from our general plan of giving a preference to the right of priority.

Dr. Smitu, in the gth volume of the Tranfaétions of the Linnean Society, dedicated this genus to M. PoiretT, * the able continuator of the botanical part of the French Encyclos pedie, fince it was given up by M. Lamarck.” But M. Ven- TENAT had, fome time prior to this, eftablifhed another genus in honour of the fame Botanift; on which account Mr. Brown, yielding to right of priority, thought fit to apply anew name to this genus, which he has dedicated to ANTON. PANTALEON Hove, a Polifh naturalift, author of a manufcript journal to Guzerat, in the years 1787 and 1788, preferved in the Bankfian library. We regret, however, that Mr. Brown did not rather pre- ferve the name of Porreria; becaufe VENTENAT' genus Is little known, and has not, we believe, been taken up by any other author, and being taken out of one long-eltablifhed, would probably, on that account, be lefs agreeable to M. - Potrert himfelf. But as the Hortus Kewenfis will be regarded as thé moft authentic fource for the nomenclature of pa plants, ; cultivat cultivated in our gardens, we relu€tantly yield up Porretia, rather than run the rifk of occafioning confufion of names. The plant here figured, is certainly a diftinct fpecies from either of thofe recorded in the Hortus Kewenfis; but we are not quite certain that it is the diverfifolia of the Bankfian Her- barium, which Mr. Brown propofes to call by the name that we have adopted for our plant. Nor, indeed, for want of an opportunity of examining the original, either ina living or ina dried ftate can we be altogether certain of the identity of the genus, as Mr. Brown has favoured us with a fight of fpecimens not very unlike our plant, which he confiders as belonging to a diftin@, though nearly related genus. Our plant was communicated in the beginning of April 1813, by Meffrs. Matcotm and Sweet, from their extenfive col- le€&tion at Stockwell-Common. Native of New-Holland.

The Bucx-Wueat-Tree, which gets this name from the fimilarity of its feed-veffels to thofe of Po.yconum Fagopyrum, is an elegant evergreen fhrub, which in its native foil: grows to the height of eight feet and upwards. It is fo well defcribed by Mr. Pursu, that it is needlefs to repeat a defcription of it here. In one refpeét only our ob- fervation does not agree with this author, which is that he defcribes the pedicles as having two braétes in the middle, whereas we found only one at the bafe of each. Found in Carolina and Georgia, by the late Mr. sony Fraser, who was very defirous of dedicating it to his friend, Mr. Tuomas Wa ter, author of the Flora Caroliniana, the accuracy of whofe defcriptive charaéters we have had frequent opportunities of witnefling. But there being already a Wat- THERA and a GuatTueRtA, he was driven to the inadmiffible expedient of giving an adjettive termination to the name. _ As many collettors may have the plant under the appella- tion given to it in Fraser’s Catalogue, the quotation of it as as a fynonym may have its ufe ; and we embrace with pleafure the only opportunity, afforded us of complying, in fome degree, _ with the with of the difcoverer, in making it the means of re- cording his grateful attachment to his botanical friend.

Supra No.1469. ** A plant called the oxoz-tree, which is met with in the Canadian ** gardens, is of a curious nature. Its ftalks run up to the fame height, and it has much the fame appearance, as the common onion when in feed; but it contains feveral branches, and at the end of each a clufter of moderate-fized onions. Thefe are “ its feed and if left in the clufter will frequently branch out, and & each bear other clufters, but of a more diminutive fize.” Lambert's Travels in Canada, ce, ed. 2. Vs 1. ?- 439. The vegetable Mr. Lampert has defcribed,, is the variety of the common onion, publifhed in No. 1469 of this work. Upon reading this paflage, it occurred to us as probable, that the bulbiferous habit which diftinguifhes the variety, has been in- duced by the culture of the parent-fpecies in a region fo much colder than its natural one, as that of Canada may juftly be prefumed to be; and that proving in this form an uleful addi- tion to the kitchen-garden, fciops have been remitted thence to Europe, and thus given rife to its appellation of “ the Canada- onion,” and confequent confufion with ArLium canadenfe (fee No. 1469); the origin of which name and error is otherwife a myftery to us. We-fcarcely need obferve, that many bulbous plants are known to become viviparous (i. e. to bear bulbs in the place of feed) when tranfplanted ‘into fituations colder than thofe to which they naturally belong.
