indigenous of Auftria. Bulb from one to two inches in dia-
meter; /eaves from half to a foot long, from one to two —
inches broad, innef one often bearing a bulb about the fize of
a filbert ;_/cape upright, round, tapering, hollow, from one to —
four feet high; /pathe fplitting into 2—3 fegments; radii of
the umbe! about two inches and a half long; corolla white,
fometimes with a purple and green, at others with only a green
~ tint on the outfide. Flowers in June and July. Cultivated in -
our gardens from the daysof Gerarp. Hardy. Haslittleorno |
fcent of Garlick. Eafily propagated both by feed and offsets.
Brorero tells us that. he has repeatedly removed the bulbs
from Lifbon to a more northern, quarter of Portugal ; when
he never failed to find the plant, after a time, fo altered
by this change of climate and foil, as {carcely to be recognized
for the fame fpecies; the leaves becoming fhorter and more
convolute; the {tem flaccid and dwarfifh; the radii of the
umbel fhorter and unequal; while the corolla loft all its purple
hue, and the bulb-bearing leaf difappeared entirely. This —
with us is feldom produced, nor have the flowers fearcely ever
any mixture of purple or red.
The original #igram of Linnezus, firft taken up in the
fecond edition of his Species Plantarum, was very diftin&
from magicum, into which he afterwards. negligently converted
it, in the thirteenth edition of the Syfema Vegetabilium ; where,
fupprefling the note firft attached to the fpecific charaéter of |
nigrum, he has fubftituted another, evidently defcriptive of
our prefent plant; of which, as a fpecies already inftituted by
himfelf, and ftill landing in the work he was then revifing, he —
feems as completely to have loft fight, as of the real nigrum. —
This, upon referring to his former works, will be found to be
the now. zarcififorum (illyricum ?) and fcarcely, if really, diftin@ —
from rofeum. ‘The {pecific appellation was-moft probably fug- —
gelled by the black-purple colour its flowers affume when —
dried, in which ftate alone Linnaus had probably at «that —
time feen them, fince he quotes Buxksen’s* Herbarium as his —
authority. The Hortus Kewenfis has the two names as be-
longing’ fo diftin& {pecies ; but the references to Gzexarn’s
Homer's Garlick for the one, and to Jacguin’s multibulbofum
for the other, fhew that the fame plant ‘is the foundation’ of |
both. The Moxry indicum five Caucafon of feveral of the
oider Botanifts, we take to be merely a bulbiferous variety. G.

In feparating this as a fpecies from the rufa of Lastre se
-LARDIERE, we have conformed to the opinion of Mr, Brown, —

by whom the plant was difcévered on the weftern coaft of
New-Holland, and firft introduced into England. Of our- —
felves, we fhould have moft probably given them as varieties
of each other. Rufa is faid to have much narrower and lefs
truly enfiform leaves, the ftem:entirely and not partially pubef-
cent, fewer flowers in the racemes, with a fomewhat clofer
panicle; Mr. Brown adds, that the flowers are alfo the
largeft of the two fpecies. We have no doubt but that in —
time many others will prefent themfelves, when fuch parts
of the generic chara€ter which are above taken from the
irregularity of the limb or border of the corolla, and the
relative length of that with the tube, will neceffarily be fup-
prefled; for we have feldom found thofe marks of- any im-—
portance in defining the generic fe€tions of this natural order. —
They are good fpecific diftin@tions. The ftem of favida
grows from three to four feet high, and is of a brownifh purple
‘colour; leaves fhorter than this, and not quite an inch broad. |
The flowers have no {cent. Mr. Verx’s gardener, who raifed
the plant from which the drawing was made, fays it is very
eafily propagated by parting the roots; that it requires little
‘care beyond proteétion from froft; and that it blooms very
freely during the fummer months, G. :

SCHOTIA tamarindifolia. Afzelius in Herbario Banks,

Although the leaflets of this plant are confiderably broader
thanin Scuorttia /pecio/a, more obtufe, even frequently emar-
ginate, and rarely mucronate, and have the internal margin
hollowed, fo as to give them fomewhat of a kidney fhape, we
fhould neverthelefs have been inclined to confider them as
mere varieties, had not our learned friend, Prof. Arzstivs, |
in a paper long fince read before the Linnean Society but not
yet publifhed, made them diftin&. The confidence we have
in his accuracy will not permit us to doubt but that he had |
fufficient grounds for fo doing, and perhaps the legumen may
afford fufficient diftin@tive charafters, but unfortunately we
have not been able to fee that of S. /pecio/a. In tamarindifolia
the legumen is large, broad, extremely flattened, much
arched, with a remarkable thick margin at both futures,
_ depi@ted with veins, which take their rife from both margins,
and branching into a beautiful net-work, entirely cover the
fides of the legumen, The germen is pedicellated, but the
pedicle

‘gio

pedicle not increafing in length with the growth of the legumen, —
becomes in the latter nearly obfolete. In the Bankfian Her- —
barium there is a third {pecies with four pair of obcordate —
leaflets, and a legumen much lefs curved. 2
Our drawing was made at Mr. Wooprorp’s, in whofe —
collelion at Springwell only, except at Kew, have we heard —
of this beautiful fpecies being feen.

fimilar effe&t of producing numerous varieties, fome of which,
from their beauty and rarity, have been known to fell in China ~
for a hundred ounces of gold. Notwithftanding the Chinefe
Florifts differ from the European, in rejeéting all variegated
flowers, confidering fuch as contrary to nature, they enumerate
two hundred and forty fpecies, as they are called, many of
them of exquifite beauty and delightful fragrance.

TuunsercG, as well as Lovurerro, as is evident by his
having given as fynonyms both the Saku-Jaku aid Botan of
K zmprer, confidered this plant to be the fame {pecies with the
Pzonta officinalis of Linnaus, which is likewife cultivated
in China, and much ufed there in medicine.

The Paonia papaveracea of AnpRews we fufpe& may
be amere variety of the Moutan with white flowers {potted
with crimfon; and that the fingular union of fix capfules intoa
globular feed-veffel with fix cells, is an accidental {porting of
nature. If this ftru€ture of the fruit be natural, it will afford
not a {pecific but a generic diftin@ion.

For the introdu€tion of this valuable acquifition to our
gardens, we are indebted to Sir Joserux Banxs, who in-
{truéted feveral perfons trading to Canton, to inquire for the
Moutan, the name by which it is known in China; in confe-
quence of which numerous fpecimens were fent to this country,
moft of them however perifhed in the voyage. Since that
time feveral varieties have been imported in a growing ftate,
but we have not feen any that were remarkable for the fra-
grance of their flowers. :

Propagated in China by feeds, the only way to obtain
new varieties, alfo by parting the roots, by layers and
cuttings, and they generally inoculate the buds of different —
varieties upon the feveral branches of the fame root. When
the time of flowering approaches, they carefully remove all
fuperfluous buds, and proteét thofe that are left from the
{corching heat of the fun. It is fufficiently hardy to bear the
cold of our climate, but to have it bloom well it is neceffary

_ to proteét it by a glafs frame. The fineft “{pecimen we have
feen, and from which our drawing: was taken, is at Mr.
Grevitve’s, at Paddington, where it is planted in the ground, —
and has a glazed building erefted over it without flues. Ths 4
plant bears a profufion of bloffoms ; it does not rife very high,
but «divides into feveral branches near the ground, — and,

the edge and the keel of the midrib; /cape central, fimple,
fubaphyllous, upright, round, villous, about afoot high, ter--
minating in a thinly-flowered coryms, the pedicies, in which
are alfo villous, arranged fubverticillately and clofely round
a very fhort, nearly obfolete rachis, whence they converge
affurgently in the manner of an umbel ; brades very {mall,
caducous ; corolla hexapetaloufly parted, ftellately. patent 5
Segments deciduoufly feparable, nearly equal, oval-oblong,
fhortly tapered at the bafe, having a green glandular mark
towards the top on the infide; filaments, filiform fubulate,
rather longer than corolla, from upright diverging, inferted
by their bafe between the germen and corolla; anthers upright,
ovate-fagittate, fixed by their bafe; gcrmen {mall, oval, even,
fhining, without ftreak or furrow, pale green; //yle continuous,
filiform, thicker, ftrié, fmooth, whitifh, equal to ftamens,
three times longer than germen, terminating in a blunt fub- —
pubefcent fligmatofe point; berry fpherical, blue; cells dif-
permous ; fome of the feeds generally abortive. The leaves,
when viewed through a magnifier, appear fhagreened or |
~ roughened with fimall clofe puftules. As the germen {wells the
fegments generally divide at the bafe and fall off. Muicuaux
defcribes the bloom as fragrant; this we did not obferve ; he
alfo fays, that the corolla has fometimes a purple tinge on the
inner fide; and that in the Canadian fpecimens, the corymb.
or umbel is often proliferous; it may then be miftaken for
a raceme. Native of Hudfon’s-Bay, Newfoundland, and
Canada; found by Micuaux op the Alleghany Mountains :
@ was introduced into Kew Gardens by Dr. Sonanper, in
1778, from Newfoundland. Our drawing was taken at Mr.
Loppices’s nurfery, Hackney. Hardy. Requires to be
kept in peat-mould. Flowers in June. Its Indian name is

titary, for although two unopened flower buds frequently

We were informed by Mr. Lopp1ices, who communicated —

the plant to us, that it has been many years in Meffrs. GorDoN
and Tuompson’s garden at Mile-End, who probably obtained
it from North-America. ae

It has more affinity with Ctematis cri/pa than with Viorna, —
but we apprehend is diftin@ from both. From the latter it is —
diftinguifhed by the flowers being more cylindrical, with —
_ petals far thinner, and curled at the edges; from the former, rE
by the petals being never rolled back, as in that, and by the —
arifta of the feeds not being naked; and from both, by the —
leaflets being much narrower, never cordate, nor growing by —
threes, as the lower ones generally do in both the osher —

fpecies.

This plant may be the CLremaris reliculata of MicnauX, —
but he deferibes the leaflets as being obtufe at both ends, —
whereas ours are acute; and fays the veins, which form the net- |
-work, are prominent on both fides the leaf; whereas ours are, —
as in moft other plants, prominent on the under furface and —

' depreffed on the upper.

It is perfeétly hardy, but as it feldom perfe@s its feeds with —

continues flowering till checked by the frofty nights.

All the Parmuxas vary fo much in fize, in the number of
flowers, and in the relative length of the fcape, that when cul-
tivated it becomes not a little difficult to decide to’ which
fpecies they really belong. ‘That our prefent plant ought to
be confidered as a variety of Primuta villo/a, we are cone
vinced by its villous, wedge-fhaped /eaves, toothed at the
‘upper ovate part only, and quite entire below; and by the
funnel-fhaped corollas ; chara@ters which feem very conftant in
all the varieties. The /cape is ere&, generally fhorter than
the leaves, and bearing an ere& umbel, confifting of a great
number of fnow-white flowers, crowded together and very
{weet-fcented. The involucre confifts of one larger braéle,
and a {mall very obtufe one to each pedicle. ‘The pedicles in
this variety fearcely exceed the calyx in length. ‘This relative
fhortnefs of the pedicle is the only charaéier we could take
hold of, as affording a {pecific diftinion from the other va-
ricties; and this feems hardly fufficient to counteraét the
perfeé coincidence of fo many others.. We have arranged the ©
varieties according. to the colour of the flower, raiber than
the degree of hairinefs or the length of the fcape, as feeming
to-be lefs dependant upon foil and other cireumftances

gularly incifed, and their under furface is of a greenifh {ul-
phur colour, forming a ftriking contraft to the bright carmine
of the upper, which circumftance has given rife to our f{pecific
name. Among the Caucafian plants in the Bankfian Her-
arium, there are fpecimens under the name of Diantuus
taucafeus, which come nearer to our prefent plant than to the _

bn

one figured at No. 795; indeed we fee no other difference
than that the leaves of the former are wider and longer, and
the awns of the calyx more lengthened out, differences pro-
bably arifing folely from cultivation. But as both fpecies are
natives of Caucafus, and neither of them have as yet been
received into any fyftematic work, we do not think it ad-
vifable to change our former name. ; ;

“Native of China. Our drawing was made from Mr. Gre-
vixxe’s colle&tion at Paddington ; where it was received in
this country. A hardy greenhoufe plant; flowering in June
and July. Scentlefs; but very ornamental.

While known to us only through the medium of the plate
in the Paradi/us Londinenfis ; we believed it to be the fame
with our Lritum pex/y/vanicum, No. 872; fee our remarks
in No. 1082. From this we now find it to differ, in_having a

» ftem, which befides being far more robuft, is round and even,

and not decurrently ridged as in that; with pedicles and
outfide of corolla devoid of the cottony-tomentofe pubelcence —
fo confpicuous in the other; the “gues of the corolla are
alfo here more ftraightly and clofely convergent, while the
lamine are more revolutely and much farther defleéted than
there ; the organs of fruétification are proportionably fhorter,
and the germen is rather fhorter than the ftyle; inftead of
being twice as long, as in pen/y/vanicum ; there are feveral other
minuter diftinétions, befides general appearance. ge e
We have ftill to afcertain the country to which pen/y/vanicum
belongs, and to fay in what it differs from du/biferum, except
economy. It has now. been cultivated in our gardens, at the
_leaft, for fixty years, during which time it has maintained un-
changed its appearance and habits. Is. very fhy of flowering, —
never produces above two flowers and rarely more than one,
hardly ever a perfe& piftil, but a profufion of offsets, which
‘never arrive to.a greater fize than a fmall walnut; the ftlem to
us has the. appearance of having been drawn up in a hotbed-
frame; being always lax and feeble. Mr. Wurtrex, who
firft informed us he had it from America, upon farther recol-
‘Te&tion, thinks it was given him for a Ruffian plant. CatTesBy%, |
‘whofe drawing was made from a plant in Cortinson’s garden, |
“moft probably gueffed it to be a Penfylvanian vegetable folely

‘from memory. In the Bankfian Herbarium there is a Luly |
from that American ftate, different from any other yet publifhed

but certainly not this, a fpecimen of which from Cotiinson’s

"garden is alfo to be found there. Is it the variety I foliis |

We believe this to be fpecifically diftin@ from that figured ©
under the name of hirfuta(No. 614); but as we miffed the
Opportunity of examining the living plant, after Mr. Epwarps
had- drawn it; we cannot, with precifion, determine the
differences. Br EyN1us defcribes the ftem of brevifolia as
being a foot high, round, green, and hairy ; the flowers as
crimfon intermixed with a tawny yellow colour, with fome
foft hairs on the outfide ; the leaves in his figure are diftich,
one placed above the other edgewile, about half a foot long,
and diverging falcately. PT ied 3

In our drawing, befides the difference of colour, the
flem appears thicker, rounder, and lefs flexuofe; the
branches far more numerous, and placed with much fhorter
intervals from- each other; the upper lateral fegments of the
corolla are far broader, more rounded at their apex, lapping
farther over the edges of the lower lateral fegments than in
birfuta; nor do the deflorefcent corollas fhew the villi, fo

confpicuous in the drawing of that ; at the bafe of the corolla,
clofe over the bafe of the ftamens, are feen two {mall round
marks in this, which we do not perceive in the drawing of the —
other; whether they are glandular or merely coloured we
cannot fay. :

Dr. Soranper has left no further defcription than the
above fhort fpecific charaéter; but the fpecimen from which
he took it is ftill preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium.

Our drawing was made fome years ago at Mr. Wooprorp’s

This evergreen fhrub is a natiye of the Cape of Good
Hope, from which country it was early introduced into Hol-
land, and thence difperfed over molt parts of Europe. It

has been long common in our greenhoufes, This genus is fo
fubje& to vary, under cultivation, with refpeét. to being with
Or without fpines, that it is not poflible to make ufe of this
cireumftance as a fixed charaCler ; the individual from which

our.

- our drawing was taken was without fpines, whifft of two young -
plants, both. offsets of this, one was armed with fpines the
other unarmed. ~ :

At firit fight, the figure of Comment, taken froma fhrub
that flowered in the: Botanic Garden at Amflerdam, and that
of MiL_er, appear very diflimilar ; the former having leaves

acutely, and even deeply ferrated, which in the latter are
altogether entire; and the defcriptions of both authors agree

with their reprefentations. ‘We are neverthelefs inclined to —

believe that the above figures were both intended for the fame —
{pecies. That the leaves are very fubje& to vary, both in
their general figure and margins, appears from MIiLier’s own
foecimen, preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium, in which
fome of theslower leaves are deeply but finely toothed. In
confirmation of the identity of thefe plants, it may be obferved, —
that the Chelfea Garden was probably fupplied with it from
that of Amfterdam, and that Wernman, who could hardly
miftake Comme in’s plant, has drawn his figure with leaves
perfeétly entire. Wittpenow has afferted that the Cetas-
_Trus pyracanthus defcribed by Tuunsere is altogether a
different {pecies from that of Linn “us, but we fee no reafon
to think fo; the fpecific phrafe of the former, above quoted,
agrees very well with our plant, except in the leaves being
obovate; as we have occafionally fecn them, and alfo obcordate
and acute in the fame plant. ~~ = : P< gett

In Linn £us’s own {pecynen from Ciirrorn’s Garden, in —
the poffeffion of Sir Joserm Banks, the leaves are molly —
obovate, marginated, and rather denticulated than ferrated,
the fame as we have generally found them in the younget —
plants in our greenhoufes. Even the fhrub from which our
drawing was taken has fome leaves with a few cartilaginous
teeth, fo rigid as to be like little fpines. ~ Ff

It is a hardy greenhoufe fhrub, readily propagated by —

_ cuttings or offsets: Flowers during the fummer months, and —
ripens its red fruit in the winter, and not unfrequently has —
ripe feed-veffels and tlowersat the fame time. ie
_ Our drawing was taken in the garden of Enmunp GraNGERy |
Efq. in Exeter, from a fhrub which had been turned out
into the border againft a fouthern wall, where it had grown

much. more vigoroufly than it did inthe greenhoufe,

rather an appendage of the corolla than of the germens. |
‘But as it feems deftined to abforb the fertilizing fluid and
convey it to the ovaries, it thus performs the office of the
ftigma, and we fee no reafon to call it by another name, as

_ The Epacrrs pulchella is one of the moft defirable fpecies
of this genus hitherto introduced into our gardens. It pro-
duces an abundance of bloffom, which comes out early in

arch, continues a long time, and in favourable weather is
very {weet-fcented, Is faid to grow plentifully about the

fettlement of Port-Jackfon in New-Holland. Commur
by Mr. Loppices. | pene tger: ae
There are feveral fpecies of Epacris, which fo m
femble one another, that it muft be extremely difficult to
falling into errors in determining the fpecies. And could
depend upon the accuracy of the defcription and figur
Cavanities, we fhould: certainly conclude that this wa
different from his Epacrts pulchella. But as he had onl
dried {pecimens to examine, he might eafily be deceived in th
colour of the flowers and the form of the corolla. He de-
Acribes the colour as reddifh, and has figured the corolla of
funnel fhape ; he has alfo made the leaflets of the calyx long
and more pointed than in our plant. We have however care
fully compared our plant with the fpecimen preferved unde
the fame name in the Bankfian Herbarium, and cannot find
any other difference than that of the flowers in that rea
near to the extremities of the branches, a difference whi
-attribute to cultivation. | 7

from that.._With us, his opinion is decifive ; and we have ac-
cordingly feparated them. At the fame time, beyond that of the —
colour of the corolla, we are at a lofs to find any diftinéive —

for the corolla appearing in our drawing more diftended tha" —

This plant has affinity with CenTaAuREA montana (Nop)
but is abundantly diftingyifhed by the ftem being much more
‘winged by means of the undulated leaves, and by the long —
tawny cilix growing from the black margin of the {ales of
the calyx.

It is a hardy perennial, readily increafed by feeds or parting
its roots. Native of Mount Caucafus, whence the feeds were
received under the name of Centaurea ¢aucafica, by Mr.
Lonppices; who at the fame time received feeds of another
variety, or very nearly related {pecies, by the name of ©.
chlorantha, which has pale purple or lilac coloured flowers,
and leaves more woolly, fofter, and not undulated.

probably add from Micuaux, Popatryria Crotalaria fi} oF

We have greatly to regret that whilft Mr. Sazuissury has —
pointed out the different genera, he has not in this eflay, given
us the generic chara€ters, nor applied any names, except to one
affemblage, confifting of Sopnora ftetraplera n, 167. S. mitt
phylla and a new fpecies from Sandwich Iflands, Thele are
certainly very diftin€t from the above and every other fpecies
hitherto enumerated under Sophora and Podalyria; and Mr,
Sarispury has framed a feparate genus of them and given It
the name of Epwarps1a, in honor of SypEnHAM EDWARDS,
well known as a very fkilful botanical draft{man, nearly the
whole of the drawings of the Botanical Magazine being the
produ&ion of his pencil. In the Paradifus Londinenfis, this
author had indeed before given -the charaéters of the fimple- |
leaved {pecies, natives of the Cape of Good-Hope, to which
he applied the name of Podalyria ; but as Lamarcx made his
genus chiefly from Poparyria findoria, it would, we thinky —
_ have been better to have retained this name for the genus es.
- which our prefent plant is a {pecies. On this account we have —
not thought it right to change the name of Poparyria fot —
the prefent; but if this fhould be generally adopted for the ©
‘ Cape fpecies, our plant and its congeners may be aptly enough
called Tuermoprsis, from the refemblance feveral of them beat
to Lupins. Popatryaia alba is a hardy herbaceous perennial, cs
readily propagated by feeds and with care by parting its roots

the name of bybdrida; but we ¢an fee ho reafon to believe that
the A. variegata of the Flora Carolinienfis is different from
the plant figured by Pruxener and quoted by Linnaus;
nor do we fee any thing contradiétory in the fpecific charatter
of the latter author, the very minute. pubefcence probably dif-
appearing altogether in the dried fpecimen, to which alone
Linn aus had accefs, :

It is one of the moft defirable fpecies of the genus, and is
_ efteemed to be hardy, but being a native of the fouthern ftates
of North-America, is liable to be deftroyed in fevere winters;
and probably for this reafon is ftill very rare, though culti-

We refer to No. 859 for what relates generally to the

book ; nor had we ever heard of it, when it was pointed out to
us by Mr. Greyitie, who received a recently-imported bulb
laft ummer, but without any clue to enable him to trace from
what part of the world it came. We attribute the greater
€xpanfion in the outer fegments of this, than in thofe of that
which is reprefented in No, 859, to the plant’s having been

interruptions of natural affinity; and that we adhered to

becaufe we found them already eftablifhed, and adopted

In No, 934, we have obferved that the original odorus of
Linnzus had been negligently converted by himfeif, in a
fubfequent work, into a fpecies not really diftin&t from the
calathinus of the fame. The firft was originally taken up
In the Amenitates Academica, but changed in the §; “cies
Plantarum, where the former fynonymy is dropped, and a an

of the prefent plant alone quoted, This induced us to add it
to that fpecies as the variety y ; but with a note of doubt—
Now that the plant itfelf is before us, its being a variety of that
is out of the queftion: we have called it 4¢frons, from an
almoft equally-proportioned refemblance to both Fonquilla and
calathinus. From the former it borrows fcent and general ap-
pearance of the flower, with the proportions and pofition of
the parts of fru€tification; except that here the fegments of
the corolla are lefs truly obovate or widened upwards, and the
ftyle not fo far advanced; the crown is longer and not rotate
or fo widely expanded; yet fhorter than that of calathims,
like which it is however fix-lobed, while the lobes are not fo
even and regular, nor fo clearly defined: but the leaves are
entirely thofe of this laft, except perhaps that they are fome-
what lefs acuminate, as well as not quite fo flefhy. Is it a
mule produftion between thefe two fpecies? The bulbs
were imported about two years ago from’ Holland, by a
Seed{man, in Bond-Street, under the name which we have
adopted above for our Englifh one. Blooms in March and
April. Has. generally only two leaves, which are nearly two

and not of a uniform deep yellow. From Pidido: Morcifioninae
feparated, by having a corolla with broad or yentricofely ovate
and not oblong fegments as in that, by thefe being more ex-
‘panded, fhorter than and not equal to the crewn-as there,
the lobes of which are here clearly defined, while there they —
are fearcely to be diftinguifhed, owing to their own divifion
into deeper as well as fharper fegments, which are alfo
ftraighter and lefs patent; in P/eudo-Narciffzs the tube is much
more narrowly-cucullate, fearcely one-fourth fhorter than
crown, and three times longer than -germen ; while in biepier 4
it is broad-turbinate, about equal to the germen, and fearcely —
half the length of the crown. Native of the South of Europe,

In No. 947, we have included this plant as a variety of
Papyraceus, But fince the ftyle is here conftantly advanced

fiderably below the edge of the crown; which mark alfo

of Nympn«a and thofe named by Mr. Sarissury, Cas-
TALIA; yet we cannot accord with this author, when he ftates
that the former has feveral ne€taries, the latter only one; as
this apparently marked diftin@lion arifes merely from his
calling, in Nymeuza, the parts analogous to the internal
petals of Casratta, the neflaries; whereas, in CasTaLtA,
he applies that name to the little knob in the centre of the
cup-Shaped ftigma; which is to fuppofe that in two plants of
the fame natural order and clofeft affinity, an important organ
fhall not only not bear the fmalleft refemblance in form or
number, but have a totally different infertion ! .

.From the manufcripts of Dr. Roxsurcu, which we have —
had an opportunity of examining through the kindnefs of
Mr. Lampert, we learn that the Nympuaa verficolor is 4
native of Bengal, and that there are two varieties; in one of
which the flowers are perfeétly white, in the other varioully
fhaded with pink. ,

Is eafily propagated both by feeds, which it ‘ripens with us,
and by its tubers, which it produces in a manner very different
from its allied {pecies, as we ‘are informed by Mr. ANDERSONs
the intelligent and fkilful dire€tor of Mr. Vere’s garden,
where our drawing was taken in July laft. According to his
obfervations during the vigorous growth of the plant, a nu-
merous hoft of young bulbs or tubers iffue from the parent
ftock, to which they adhere only by a flender thread. They.
are round and of very various fizes, from that of a hazel nut
to a fmall feed, and when the leaves decay they fall off, and if
properly treated will readily vegetate and~ :
young plants, many of which will bloffom the next feafon.
The original tuber, which is of a conical fhape, though it ap-
pears found for a length of time, does not put forth any frefh
leaves, but gradually decays from the bafe inwards.

In a ciftern placed on a hot-bed and covered by a two-
lighted cucumber-frame, eight different fpecies of Water-Lily
were to be feen in flower at the fame time.

The rufh-like branches or, more properly fpeaking, long
petioles of this fingular fhrub, have been miftaken both by
ss saan and Witivenow for the leaves, of which mn —
its more advanced ftages it is entirely deftitute. The pod, —
when nearly ripe, contains only one feed, nor could we,

four lateral fegments flightly converging towards the upper
central one, leaving the lower central one feparated from the
immediate lateral pair by larger intervals. a

The prefent variety, befides’the colour and fpots of the
corolla, differs from («) in having the fligmas not advanced
beyond. the anthers, which are alfo flightly divergent
and not exaétly parallel as there. But thefe are differences

which, experience has fhewn us, are not to be {o fafely relied —

on for fpecific feparation in this tribe as in fome others.

If the beauty of the three plants we have here offered to
the public, fhould not be thought a fufficient excufe for giving
more than one variety of a fpecies; we might add that, in our
opinion, the acquaintance with the remarkable modes of fpecific
variation, is as effential to a complete knowledge of vegetables
as any other part of their hiltory. |

This plant fo nearly refembles the: common Daify in every
Part, €xcept that the feeds are crowned with a feffile pappus,
that the older Botanifts unanimoufly referred it to the fame _
senus. Linn agus joined it with his Doronicum ; Scopout -
Sollowing Haxrer, in his Opufcula, made it an Asrzr.. >The ~

Jatter author, in his great work on the plants of sag et
ane

and Vicau more recently, have saferred it to kiceggat in
which they have been followed by WiittpEnow in his new
edition of the Species Plantarum. |
In our-opinion, the extreme affinity i in habit between this —
plant and Beruis, makes it a queftion whether the feeds being —
crowned with a pappus be alone fufficient to disjoin it from —
this genus. And if it could not be united -with Betis, we
fhould have been inclined to have followed Micwett in
making a diftin& genus of it, or to have added it to Asrzr,
rather than to either Doronicum or to Arnica, with the
fpecies of neither of which does it kindly affociate.
A hardy perennial. Native cf the Alpine regions of Swit-
zerland, Italy, Auftria, and Carniola. Propagated by parting 3
its roots, and requires a fhady moift fituation. Flowers in the

The Aucusa, of which one {pecies only is known to us,

8rows into a large tree, and is very much cultivated in Japan

for the beauty of its foliage; for we do not know that it is”
applied to any ufe. We are informed by TuounseEre, that it

Varies with leaves of a plain brownifh green colour, and of a
ively green variegated with white. We have not obferved
the firft variety in our gardens, but the blotches are more or

Tefs inclined to yellow. ;
It flowers with us from May to July, but does not produce —
fruit. This, according to KaMPrER, is an olive-fhaped berry .
(more properly a drupe) with thin fweetifh-tafted flefh, en-
clofing a nut with a very naufeous kernel.
_. This fhrub was for fome years preferved in the flove, whence
it was removed to the greenhoule or confervatory, and is now
found to be as hardy as the Laurel or Lauruftinus. It Is —
however handfomer in the greenhoufe, as the leaves generally

ave a larger proportion of green than when expofed to the
cold of our winters, Though introduced no longer ago than
1783, by Mr. Joun GRagFFER, it is now become very com-
mon, being eafily propagated by cuttings or layers, and fee

quiring no peculiarity of management or foil, os Ste

towards the extremity of the branch: flowers looking chiefly
One way, axillary, folitary, feflile. Leaves imbricated, feflile,
_ Cordate, acuminate, pungent, {mooth, more or lefs three-nerved,
very patent but {carcely recurved, crowded and reddifh coloured
at the extremities of the branches. Calyx pointed : internal
leaflets § coloured, equal, the length of the tube of the co-
Tolla, external ones imbrieated, fhorter, all of them embracing
the tube of the corolla tightly. Corolla of a bright red colour: —
tube cylindrical, /imé patent, divided into five laciniz, rotate,
obtufe, frequently terminated with a. thread-like mucro, un-
dulated : faux clofed. Stamens five, included : filaments very
fine, frequently adhering to the tube, but to be traced down
to the receptacle, where they are inferted be w the germen,

and frequently adhering fo flightly, that upon drawing the tube
~ Out of the calyx fome of the ftamens will remain attached to
the receptacle ;_ anthers oblong, ereétly-incumbent, purplifh.

Germen fuperior, fubglobofe, marked by five grooves at the

upper part. © S/y/e ere&, hairy, fearcely protruded beyond the
tube of the flower: fligma fimple, truncate. Neéary five {cales
or barren filaments inferted below the germen, alternating with
the real filaments, erect, rather longer than the germen. The
flowers have a fweet but. difagreeable {cent.

This is a fpecies diftin€&t from and. not a variety of the
Eracris figured at No. 144 of this work, and which we fup-
pofed to be the pungens of CaAvANILLES ;,not having at that
time any idea of the number of fpecies that this genus has been
fince found to contain, the plant from which that drawing was
taken being the firft Epacris which flowered in. this country,
Moft or all of the fpecimens which we have feen, of the fpecies
now figured, have white flowers, but in no other refpeét can
we trace any difference ; fo that we can but confider this as
variety of the E. pungens of Cavanitces. It differs however
in many very material points from that miftakenly fo called by
us. Inthe latter the corol/ais more funnel-fhaped, its tube
inflated in the middle, the lacinia narrower, fharper, and lefs
patent, the faux more open, admitting the ftamens to appear
in fight; the leaflets of the calyx are more lax and do not
embrace the tube of the corolla fo tightly; the leaves are
rather pointed than acuminate, and more recurved ; the fcales
of the ne€tary are much fhorter; the flyle naked; the fligma
capitate; and the filaments connate with the tube, yet they
may be traced if examined with a lens oppofite the light.

This circumftance of the real infertion of the filaments below
the germen, fo evident in the prefent fpecies, ftrengthens very
much the affinity ef this genus with the Eriea.

This beautiful Epacris is one of the moft defirable that we
have feen, the branches being more ereét and. lefs ftraggling
than in either Eracais grandiflora or pulchella, though the
flowers are much f{maller than in the former, and not fo agree-
ably feented as in the latter. Communicated by Mr. Lop-
piczs, with whom it firft flowered in the {pring of 1808, and
who alfo poffeffes the white-flowered variety. Oe

rare plant for infpeétion, we have trufted for much of the above
defcription, to a well preferved fpecimen in the Bankfian
Herbarium from Tranquebar, as well as to the defcription and
figures of Ruerpe and Roxsurcn. The lamine of the leaves
are from three to fix inches each way ; and are faid to be very
brittle, like thofe of englifh water-Aloe. We fufpeét that Dr.
Roxsureu is miftaken in calling it an annual plant. The
corolla is entirely white. The root-ftock and fibres of a reddifh
yellow hue. A native of various parts of the Eaft-Indies,
growing in ponds and rivers. Sir Joseru Banxs has different
{pecies brought from China by Sir G. Sraunron;
Mr. N. Brown has one or two others found by himfelf on the
ifland of Timor. Requires to be cultivated in a ciftern or
pan of water placed in the ftove. Our drawing was made at

The above charaéter will, we think, fufficiently diftinguifh
this fpecies from its congeners. ‘The ftem varies from eight
inches to near two feet, leaves and flower varying in pro-
Portion, Herb glaucous, fometimes tinged with a <<

red colour. Corolla deep yellow, outer fegments externally
fuffufed with green. Native of the fouthern parts of Europe;
and, as it is faid, of Great-Britain. Hatzizr doubts its being ©

_ fpontaneous in Switzerland, although very common there.

Blooms in April; flightly fragrant.

- At the time we were treating of the Garden Tulip (T. gef-
neviana. No, 11935.), we had never feen or even heard of the
exiftence of a fpontaneous individual of that fpecies in the pof-

feffion of any one; nor had we fatisfa€torily afcertained any ee:

one fpontaneous fource of that plant. Since then we have been
~ gratified by the infpe€tion of the Herbarium of the Chevalier
Pa.xas, a portion of the fruits of extenfive travels and years

_. of unwearied induftry in the various purfuits of natural hiflory,

now, fortunately for the Englifh Botanift, the property of
Mr. A. B. Lampert. It was here, we for the firft time
faw the wild brethren of this popular denizen of the »
gardens ; they were taken from their native defert on the
border of the Cafpian-Sea; a {pot which precludes al] doubt

as to aboriginal exiflence.. ‘Lhe fpecimens have been pre-

pared: with extraordinary {kill, and are in perfeé& preferva-
tion. They differ in no other point than fize and fharpnels of
the petals of the corolla from the garden plant; are equally
-inconftant as to colour; three-leaved and fcarcely three-
quarters of a foot high. Here we ‘alfo found. in abundance
Toxtpa celfana, No. 1135, page 2. (previoufly given as
_the_ breyniana in No, 717); a native of the Banks of the
Wolga: likewife the “Cloth of Gold Crocus” (/ufaiis
No. 652): with the “ Scotch Crocus” (éiforus. No: 845)?
well as Crocus /erotinus of the “ Paradifus Londinenfis,
t. 303” which laft three are natives of the Crimea. T. ce//fara
differs from 4ifora, in never having lefs than three leaves and
feldom more than one flower, as well asin colour of the corolla, i
and form of the ftigmas and capfule ; both differfrom frlvefiriy
in producing their offsets perpendicularly from the bulb,
fometimes forming a chain of feveral links, and not merely 2
from the fide as that dees; there are befides other points at
diftinGion. G. ~ ae —

~—teateatns

Descr. Herb cefpitous. Stehs ereét, flender, rounded,
One or two-flowered. Leaves rigid, fubulate, grooved at the
upper part, fhorter than the internodes. Ca/yx glaucous, long

and flender, terminating before flowering in a fharp point,
five-toothed: teeth acute, connivent. Braéfes (or f{cales at the
ale of the calyx) four, at leaft three times fhorter than calyx,
vate, margined, ftriate, reddifh, terminated with an awl-
thaped fomewhat fpreading mucro, fhorter than ‘the lamin of
the feale, the two inner ones rather larger and broader than
the Outward; all larger and more obtufe than in th 2 figure.
Corolla white, without {pots or hairinefs: /imd only half the
len, of the calyx, unevenly torn lefs than half way down
In6 narrow, but not capillaceous, ftraps. Stamens ten, five
longer and five fhorter. ‘Anthers pale yellow. Styles the length
of the corolla. Stigmas finally revolute.

There is ftill great difficulty in afcertaining fome of the
fhecies of Dianthus, notwithftanding Dr. Smiths valuable
treatife on this genus, in the fecond volume of the Tranfac-

tions of t inn iety, which has certainly thrown
he Linnean Society, » Eee: The. plant here

Much light upon this perplexing
figured, a ae of Henge, was communicated to mr
; Mr.

Mr. Lopptcrs. In many. refpeals i it correla th Dr
SMITH’s defcription of his D. crinitus, but the limb of the —
corolla in that is much more deeply and finely divided. From
Drantuus fragrans of Mr. Sacissury, in the Paradifus —
Londinenfis, which is“ probably the fame with D. plumarins ?
of BirserstTeIn, (vide Annals of Botany, vol. ii. p. 441.) _
it differs in a fimilar manner, and alfo in the number of the
{cales of the calyx. In Diantuus ferotinus of the Plante
rariores Hungaria, the calyx is more obtufe, the leaves fhorter
and lefs pointed, the flems more fhrubby, the fcales of the
calyx lefs, generally more in number, and their mucro much
fhorter. At the fame time all thefe four fpecies appear to
be very nearly allied. Flowers in Auguft. May be cultivated
and propagated in the fame manner as Carnations. Is parti-
cularly liable to be deftroyed by flugs in the winter.

. Inits wild ftate, this beautiful little fpecies of Pink, which
- found on the higheft mountains of Auftria, Stiria, and
Dauphiny, bears only a fingle flower upon each ftalk ; a cha-
fatter it lofes by cultivation, in common with moft other

alpine plants. Dr, Smrru obferves that it varies with ee

and acute leaves, but in all the fpecimens that we have ob-

Ae

ferved, the leaves are broader towards the extremity and —
become narrower downwards, which affords a remarkable —

charaéter in this genus. The calyx fwelling in the middle, fo
as to give it fomething of a barrel fhape, and its very long leaf-
like lower fcales afford good, but not exclufively: appropriate
charaéters. We have inferted the chara€lers of this plant, as
taken from the colour of the flowers, quoted from PLumtisr’s

MS. by Vicars, to fhew how exaétly thefe colours accord |

with our own figure: indeed the colour in this genus will often

afford a permanent charaéter.
We are indebted for this very rare plant to Mr. CHANDLER,

Nurferyman at Vauxhall. Flowers in June, and is a hardy

perennial, well worthy of cultivation.

four-fided, twiggy, nodding, hairy, efpecially towards their
_ extremities. Leaves oppofite croffwife, lanceolate, equal in

length to the fpace between the two knots on the fame fide,

awl-fhaped, channelled above, ftriate and dotted underneath,
_ the upper ones hairy on the margins. Flowers axillary, folitary,
feffile, colleéted into a {pike near the extremity of the eee

but varies with flowers paler and more inclined to yellow.

the feed after the flower is fallen off. Calyx none, except the
corolla is to be fo called. Cvral/a one-petaled, tube three or
four times longer-than limb, funnel-fhaped, being more dilated
towards the top than ufual in this genus. Nearium eight
glands in four pairs, yellow, half the length of the limb, con-
neéted at their bafe into a flefhy red coloured ring inferted
into the mouth of the tube. Stamens four: anthers nearly
feffile a little below the mouth of the tube, oval, yellow.
Germen ovate: fyle half the length of the tube: S/igma capi-

We believe this to be diftin& from both the fpecies men:
tioned in the Hortus Kewenfis, and from Cotzinsonta tbe.
rofa of Micuaux ; but it is difficult to decide with certainty,
from the infufficient defcriptions hitherto given. In our plant
the flowers were conftantly didynamous, a circumftance not
mentioned in the defcription of any-of the others, and which

affords an inftance of the inconvenience arifing from the fepa-

ration of the diandrous /adate into a diftin@ clafs from thole
with four flamens; a feparation which feems in every cafe to
do violence to nature.. :
For this very rare plant we are indebted to Joun Wa xen,
Efq. F.R.S. from whofe colle&ion at Southgate we received
it in bloffom in O@ober 1806. It is a native of South-
‘Carolina, and requires to be proteéted from fevere froft.

This beautiful little Heath is at once diftinguifhed from
very other known fpecies by its peculiar corolla. This
lingularity arifes principally from the large fize of the limb
M proportion to that of the tube; for in faé, in all the
globular-flowered Heaths, it is the tube of the corolla that is

-Slobular, but in thefe the limb is in general fo minute that the
tube is confidered as the whole corolla; whereas, in Erica

unbergii, the limb is by far the moft confpicuous a

and is deeply divided into four, round-ovate, concave, laciniz,
which ftanding nearly ereét, with refpe& to the tube, forma
bell-fhaped cup of a deep fearlet colour, and produce a
fplendid appearance. So that Profeffor Monrtn, who firlt
defcribed this fpecies in the Upfal Tranfa&ions, does not
deviate from the ufual language in defcribing the Heaths,
when he fays. the corolla is globofe with a campanulate limb.

We were favoured with the plant, from which our drawing
“was made, by Meffrs. Lez and Kennepy, who raifed it from
Cape feeds. It is one of the moft rare fpecies, and has never,
we believe, been before propagated in this country, though
we know that much pains have been in vain taken to obtain
feeds of it from the Cape for feveral years together, Flowers

In the already fo often cited Pallafian Herbarium, at Mr.

(Willd. Sp. Pl. 2. 91) under the name of altaica, colle&ed
in afiatic Ruffia and fouthern Siberia; in thefe we find fo
clofe a refemblance to imperialis, that we ftrongly fufpe@ that .
they are but one and the fame fpecies ; and that the differences,
which chiefly confift in the number and fize of the flowers and
leaves, have been merely produced by culture ; in verticillata,
- however, the foliage is whorled and very regularly fo, which
is only partially and very inconftantly the cafe in imperialis. G.

that it is a native of Mount Caucafus, New Ruffia, the Crimea,
and of various places on the Banks of the Wolga. Fre-
quently mentioned by Patzas in his Travels, under the
{fpecific name of Meleagris, for which he miftook it. In his
Herbarium there are numerous fpontaneous fpecimens of («)
as well as a garden one of (@) correfponding in every point

we are entirely indebted to Mr. A. B. LamBert. |

The fcape and inflorefcence are reprefented in our plate of
their natural dimenfions ; but the fize of the bulb and foliage
is confiderably reduced. Bulb nearly as large as an oftrich’s
egg; leaves two feet or more high; /pathe with only two
valves, on which account it fhould not {triétly belong to this
genus; but as the nature of the fruit is as yet unknown to us,
we have not ventured to remove it elfewhere.

Native of the Cape of Good Hope, where it was found
abundantly by Mr, Parzrson, in the Rogge-Veld diftri€.
The horned cattle aré faid to be expofed to great danger
from this plant, being exceedingly fond of the leaves; but
which, when eaten by them, generally prove fatal. The bulb
furnifhes the poifon ufed by the natives for their arrows. G.

MESEMBRYANTHEMUM

Mr. Hawortu, the author of a monograph upon this
genus, has, in our opinion, very properly feparated the three
Varieties of M. 4arbatum in the Species Plantarum, into as
many diftin& fpecies. The firft of thefe is figured above
No. 72) and is at once diftinguifhed from both the others

y the leaves being generally fo remote, as to thew a con-

fiderable fpace of ftalk between each pair, and by the peduncles

and calyxes being deftitute of hairs.

The fecond variety, the M. birfutum of Haworrtn, comes
Much nearer to our prefent plant, but has fmaller as and
at ais 1OWCrs,

flowers, and, which affords a good {pecific difference, has the
leaflets of the calyx of unequal length, and much longer in
proportion to the corollathan in M. denfum,

This plant, though not of difficult cultivation, is extremely
fhy of flowering; fo much fo, that Mr. Haworrtu, to whom
we are indebted for the living {pecimen here figured, informs
* that it is one and twenty years fince he has feen it in blof-
om.

Native of the Cape of Good Hope. Requires the fame
treatment as other fucculent plants from that country ; which
confifts chiefly in taking care that they are not injured by
damp in the winter, and in protefting them from froft.

In our obfervations 6n TritéHoNeMma cruciatum, No. 575
of this work, we have ftated that the figure which had been
given in No. 265, by Mr. Curtis, for that of Ixia Bulbo-
codium, had been done from a Cape fpecimen, and was the
Linnean rofea. Since then however, we have affured our-
felves, by means of the gentleman who made the drawing from
which that plate was engraved, as well as from the prefent
poffeffor of Mr. Curtis’s Botanic Garden, that we were
miftaken, and that that figure really reprefents the European
fpecies; we have been likewife fhewn fome of the progeny of
the very parcel from which the fpéecimen for that plate was
taken, and which are ftill flourifhing in the above garden. Itis
however difficult, if not impoffible, to give -any fufficiently
precife definition of the marks that diftinguifh the two {pecies;
in our prefent plant, the ftigmas do not appear to be fo long —
nor extended fo far beyond the anthers as in the European;
the filaments here alfo appear to be proportionately fhorter ;
both vary much in colour; but Bulbocodium is perfeétly
hardy, and grows luxuriantly in the open border, foon forming
a large tuft which blooms as early as April ; while ro/eam re-
quires the fhelter of a greenhoufe and does not flower till about
June. Our prefent fpecimen was received from the Cape of
Good. Hope by Mr. Vers, in whofe garden it flowered laft
july. The leaves in both fpecies are fomeétimes twice or three
times longer, and fometimes fhorter than the ftem, Cructalum
differs from both in having fligmas that do not overtop the
anthers. G. .

To the Subferibers to the Botanical Magazine.

Tue Boranicat Macazine certainly owes its reputation,
in great meafure, to the excellence of the figures, nearly ibe whole
of which have been executed by Mr. Sypennam EDWARDS«
As it has appeared to him that attempts have been repeatedly
made to deprive him of his due fhare of the credit arifing
from thefe figures,—at one time by reprefenting that a large
proportion of them were drawn by Mr. Sowersy,—and at
another by infinuating that fuch only as have his name
affixed to them were drawn by Sypennam EDWARDS, it is
with pleafure that we comply with his requeft of laying before
our readers an accurate ftatement of the whole of the figures
that were not executed by himfelf.
It appears that twenty-four have Mr. Sowrersy's name af-
fixed to them, but of this number twelve were in reality drawn
by Mr. Epwarps, viz. N* 18, 23) 25, 27, 29 30, 31s
84, 35, 36, 38, and 43. |
= Bur = se early eas a confiderable number of the ©
figures have not the name of the draughtfman affixed. All ~
of thefe were drawn by Mr. Epwarps, except the fifty-five
_ following, by Mr. Sowersy, viz. N° 1, 4, 10, 11, 17, 23,
42, 445 47, 49, 5% 5% 5% 549 55» 5% 585 61, 675 79,
72, 76, 79, 80, 85, from 87 to 109 inclufive, 141, 113, 115) —
116, 117, 118, 121. s :
The laf{-mentioned number, which occurs in vol. iv. and
was publifhed in June 1790, is the laft figure drawn by Mr,
Sowersy. All pofterior to this (except eight by Mr. SANSUM,

~ in the fixth volume, to which his name is afhixed) were executed

by Mr. Epwarps. — 3

From the above ftatement it appears, that of upwards of
twelve hundred figures, only fixty-feven were drawn by Mr.
Sowersy. It muft therefore have arifen from fome ftrange
mifconception of the faéts, that any frientl of his could repre-’
fent him as “ the defigner of a /arge proportion of the figures
in the Botanical Magazine.” At the fame time we are far
from thinking, that this eminent botanical draughtfman, who
needs no fupport but his own acknowledged abilities, would
ever entertain a wifh to aflume to himfelf the credit due to a
brother artift. : ;

We take this opportunity of ftating that the Colouring of ©
this- work has, from its commencement, been conduéted by —
Mr. Wirtiam Graves, Newingion Butts. ee

i : bee Bossiaa

Bosstza and PLatytosium are, as we have before
obferved (No. 1144) very nearly allied; and unfortunately
Dr. Smiru’s principal generic charaéter, derived from the
Legumen, does not hold true; confifting, in this fpecies at leaft,
of one cell, perfeétly free from every fort of divifion, and
only differing from that of PLatytosium formofum, in having
both margins thickened and the want of any wings.

We are however inclined to believe that the genera are really
diftiné&t; for all the fpecies of Boffizea have alternate leaves with
articulated petioles without very evident or permanent ftipules:
whilft the leaves of Platylobium are oppofite with ftipules longer
than the petiole.

Native of New Holland, and is a rather hardy greenhoufe
fhrub. Is propagated by feeds, but not eafily in any other way.

Our drawing was made from a very fine living fpecimen com-
municated by Mr. Loppicxs, with whom this fhrub fometimes

LINN4£US

Linn&Us appears to have been deceived by the examina-
tion of dried fpecimens, when he fuppofed that the leaves of
this tree were alternate: their natural fituation is undoubtedly
oppofite, though it fometimes happens towards the extremities
of the branches, and efpecially in fuch fhoots as are made after
the branches have been cut off, that the leaves deviate more
or lefs from a direێtly oppofite pofition, yet, ftill the approxi-
mation of the pairs fhows their natural tendency to being op-
pofite.

It was chiefly on account of the double calyx that Dr. So-
LANDER feparated this fpecies from the genus Myrtus, but
Swartz in his Od/ervationes remarks, that feveral f{pecies
have this inferior calyx ; but it is not, he fays, fufficient to
feparate them from the reft, being more of the nature of a
bra€tea than a calyx. In the flower this fuppofed inferior
calyx is fo minute as not to be obfervable, but perhaps in-
creafes in the fruit. ae

The dried fruit of this tree is imported in large quantities
from the Welt-India iflands, and fold in the fhops under the
name of ALuspice or JAMAICA Pepper. oe .

The figure in Hucues’s hiftory of Barbadoes is a very good
reprefentation of our plant, though referred by Martyn in his
~ edition of Miller’s diQionary to Myrtus acris ; and confidered
even by Browne as a diftin& {pecies. _But Dr. SoranpeR
was of opinion that the latter author might, after his return to
England, accommodate his figure and defcription to the Lin-
NEAN charaéter. There is however fome difficulty ftill re-
maining to be cleared up refpeGiing Myrrus acris of SwaRTZ,; —
the caryophyllata of Jacquin ; for the latter author ex-

prefsly fays, that the fruit contains feven or eight feeds; whereas
figure 3 of plate 155 of Pruwener, referred to both by
Jacquin and Swarrz, is deferibed and figured’as containing
two feeds only. In our opinion it really reprefents variety B ~
of Myrtus Pimenta. oo a
The Atxspics of our fhops is a round fruit varying much
in fize, but in the larger ones, which alone approach to ma-
turity, we have generally found,two diftin& cells, with one
hemifpherical feed in each. . = ge
- The frefh leaves are pleafanter to the tafte than the dried
berries, and abound with a highly aromatic effential oil, which
appears in innumerable pellucid dots. sh Be ay
