An elegant flowering plant, introduced

in the spring: the number of the flowers
on each head is usually about five, although
this is of course subject to variation.

It is very difficult to increase, for which
reason it has always been scarce, and is not
likely to become otherwise, as importations
from such a very distant country are neces-
sarily precarious.

There is an uncommon degree of delicacy
and beauty in this flower. The original
double White Camellia is doubtless a most
exquisite plant, which scarcely any thing
can surpass; yet the one now before us,
from the finely fringed edges of the petals,
has a novel character peculiarly its own.

In the foliage it is scarcely, if it all, dis-
tinguishable from the double white, and is
propagated in the same manner, by grafting
upon the single Camellia.

It likewise requires the usual greenhouse -
protection, and should be potted in light
loam. ;

A native of Chili; lately introduced. It
grows to about two feet in height, and pro-
duces its flowers in May and June. The
seed sometimes ripens in this country.

It requires the greenhouse, and should be
planted in a large pot. The soil should be
loam and peat, with a proportion of very
rotten dung from an oldhot-bed. The root
will seldom admit of separation.

What elegance there is in this flower!
Its great Creator, whom we are too apt to
fancy “ hidden in secrecy, sits displayed
on every visible object: this God whom we
place remote from our concerns, is full of
carefulness over our welfare, and of promise
for every want and enjoyment of our being.
He hath made a promise for the bread
which we eat, and for the raiment where-
with we are clothed; for the rain whic
watereth the earth, and for the dew which
maketh the outgoings of the evening and

the morning to rejoice. His bow in the
heavens is a promise of seed-time and har-
vest, to endure for the nourishment of every
thing that lives: He holds the gift of
knowledge and understanding, and a sound
mind in His hand, and serveth them out to
men: power also is His, and length of
days, and riches, and honour.’

animals, by directing our regards merely to
the earth, without soaring upwards to the
most glorious Lord of all !!”

DICHORISANDRA THYRSIFLORA.

Class. Order.
HEXANDRIA MONOGY NIA.

Anative of Brazil, growing wild about
thirty miles from Rio Janeiro; first raised
by Mr. Harrison of Liverpool, from the
Botanic Garden of which place we were
favoured with it by the kindness of our
worthy friend Mr. Shepherd. It has a
kind of tuberous fleshy root, whence the
stems, which are of a succulent consistence,
rise to the height of two or three feet, and
produce their elegant flowers in the au-
tumn: they continue long in succession.

At present the plant is kept in the stove,
but it appears not to be very tender, and
will perhaps in time succeed in a green-
house. It is increased by cuttings without
difficulty, and should be potted in rich
loam. :

Bauera humilis

Мо. 1197.

BAUERA HUMILIS.
Class. Order,
POLYANDRIA DIGYNIA.

We raised this from seeds received from
New South Wales about the year 1804.
It is a neat growing close bushy shrub,
flowering in summer and autumn. It
requires the greenhouse, and may be in-
creased easily by cuttings: the soil should
be loam and peat.

This genus was most deservedly named,
by Sir James Smith, in honor of our old
friends the very worthy brothers and ex-
cellent artists, Messrs. Francis and Ferdi-
nand Bauer: the loss of the latter, who
travelled with Dr. Sibthorp, in Greece, and
with Mr. Brown, in New Holland, we have
not long since had to lament. He died in
the beginning of 1826, at Vienna, his na-
tive place. He had retired thither, partly
from the fear, notwithstanding his rare
talents, of being unable, in this expensive
country, to meet the wants and infirmities
of declining years.

CAMELLIA JAPONICA welbankiana.

Class. Order.
MONADELPHIA POLYANDRIA.

: This is a native of China, introduced
several years since by Capt. Welbank, who
brought it to the Garden of Charles H.
Turner, Esq. of Rook’s-nest, Surrey.

The branches are pecularly stiff and
erect, the flowers not so large as the double
white, but very delicate ; in form and tex-
ture they are inclined to resemble those of
the Gardenia Florida. It flowers at the
same season as the other Camellias, and
requires similar treatment: it is also in-
creased by engrafting on the single red.

Persoonia spathulata

No. 1199.

PERSOONIA SPATHULATA.

"сн Order.
TETRANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

A native of New Holland; where it was
discovered by Mr. Brown, on the south
coast. It is alow bushy shrub, with rigid
leaves, rough on both sides: the flowers
are produced sparingly in the summer
season. We have not yet increased it: the
whole genus is difficult to multiply except
by seeds, which we have not obtained here

et.
It requires the greenhouse, and should
be potted in sandy peat earth.

AMARYLLIS SOLANDRÆFLORA.

Class. Order,
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

We received bulbs of this plant from
Trinidad in 1826; which flowered in the
month of September, throwing up two
stems, one immediately following the
other: the stems are about two feet high,
and the flowers nearly one foot long.

It requires the stove, and appears to
multiply itself by offsets: it should be -
planted in rich loam.
