F re - & A favourite throughout the East’ on account of the fra+ grance of the bloom; but said to be native of only the warmest parts of India, An assertion universally repeated, put without any precise authority, that we can find. No author speaking of it pretends to lave seen it; or even heard of its being seen, in any other than a cultivated state, ae VOL. I. B Sener road “i ‘i Rumphius remarks, that the plant thrives about the houses: in Amboyna, but soon disappears, when these are desertedv Thunberg and Loureiro mention its cultivation in the gar- dens of China and Cochinchina, but as an exotic. Dr. Roxburgh, among his unpublished drawings, has a Jasmine, found spontaneous in thickets on the Coast of Coromandel, which he takes for the type of the species ; but which appears to us far too distinct to be readily admitted as such; having a many-flowered trichotomous inflorescence; a six-cleft calyx and corolla, with the seg- ments of the latter tapering to a point, divaricate bractes beneath the divisions of the panicle, and a foliage of an ap- pearance different from that of Sambac. . With us the Arabian Jasmine thrives best in the bark-bed of the stove, where it continues to bloom for six or seven months in succession; and when led along the frame of the building, attains 20 feet or more in length. The leaf has been assimilated by some to that of both the orange and Jemon-trees. ‘The flower drops easily from the calyx, and in decaying changes to a deep purple hue; the limb is under an ineh in diameter, with segments rather shorter than the tube. Formerly this shrub was imported by the italian- warehousemen from the Mediterranean; but this being en- grafted on the common Jasmine, was esteemed of less value than that from the layer, on account of the disproportionate (and thence unsightly) growth of the stock and eraft. Its Cultivation with us is recorded as far back as the year 1665. Clusius tells us that it was received at Florence from Cairo is a novelty, in the year 1660; the date probably . of its standing in that part of Europe, where it has become unt- versal. The large fult variety, known among gardeners by the name of the “ Tuscan Jasmine,” acquires a much broader disk with a shorter tube, by the filling of the flower. The bloom of this is strung by the females of India in the evening of the day into chaplets and necklaces. Sambac is the Arabian appellation of our plant; which, according to Alpinus, is in great request at Cairo. ils | Our drawing was made at the botanical establishment of the Comtesse de Vandes, Bayswater. : _a A flower deprived of the limb, somewhat magnified and dissected, so ag to show the position of the stamens and pistil. ; Syd Edwant Del, Pub by.

The tendency of the present species to unite with SrruTHIoLa, is curiously evinced by a transition of the more usual petallike scales, into four small inorganic bodies, representing as many stamens with short filaments and adnate yellow anthers; as well as by the subsiding of all the real stamens below the orifice of the tube. Linneus, in a later work, has combined this species from two of distinct genera, imto which he had for- ; BA. merly divided it. Willdenow, in his edition of the Species Plantarum, has perplexed his record of the plant, by in- troducing into it synonymy the oppositifolia of Thunberg, which bas downy leaves; as well as by separating from it the Jevigata cf that author and of Wendland, which belong to it. We have followed the editors of the Hortus Kewensis, in terming that the corolla in this plant, which others have termed the calyx. The specimens we have seen, have been from one foot to tio feet high. Leaves in some nearly ovate and shorter, in others oblong and narrower; of a glaucous hue, which proceeds from a whitish efflorescence, appearing like shagreen when inspected through a magnifying-glass, Flowers light yellow, rendered nearly white on the out- side, by hairs of that colour. Pollen deep yellow. Style and stigma white, below the lower anthers. In the Bank: sian Herbarium ve find spontaneous specimens with the branches, floral leaves, and stamenlike bodies of a purple colour, such as they are described by Bergius and Burman: but differing from the present in no other respect. The whole plant seems devoid of any peculiar scent. Native of the Cape of Good Hope; from whence it was sent to the Kew Gardens, by Mr. Masson, in 1783, Belongs to the ereen-house, requiring little care, and is easily multiplied by cuttings. Should be planted in peat-mould. | Blooms in winter and summer. .

(s - This shrub, when four or five feet high and in full bloom, which it usually is about November, forms the most singular and pleasing ornament for the conservatory that we know of, especially when care has been taken to top the branches, so as to render it close and bushy. It is a hardy ereen- house-plant; easily multiplied by cuttings ; thriving onl in peat-earth, Introduced by Mr. George Hibbert, in whose botanical establishment at Clapham it was raised in the year 1800, from seed sent from New South Wales, of which and Van Diemen’s Land, it is a native. The Bank- sian Herbarium has specimens from both countries, in. which we perceived nothing that suggested the idea of the two plants belonging to distinct species. 3 * 8 > whi Stem of a rusty brown colour: Jeaves deep green on the upper somewhat convex surface, whence the pubescence at last disappears, leaving it roughened by the small glan- dular promiuent points on which each hair had stood. The two floral leaves are sometimes bent.so far back as to em- brace the flower between them in the manner of au invo- lucre, «The coherent petals of the corolla, when fallen from the calyx, separate by a space at the base, about equal to that by which they diverge at the top. In the Banksian Herbarium we find several species of this genus from dif- ferent parts of Terra Australis, none of which, according to Mr. Brown, grow in any part of those regions lying within the tropic. - After some contestation, Corr@a seems to be now una- nimously allotted to Jussieu’s natural order of Rutacex (Diosmex. Brown in Bot. of Terra Australis: appended to Hinders’s Voyage. ). The drawing was made in November, at the nursery of Messrs.

OT - A native of China; from whence the now so well-known. purple variety was brought to France by Monsieur Blancard, a merchant of Marseilles, in 1789. To France we are in- debted: for its introduction into this country, where, in 1795, it was considered as new by the nurserymen, and sold at a very high price. The’ other varieties have ap- peared subsequently, and from other quarters. The species had however certainly been cultivated at Chelsea in 1764, by’ Miller, who received it from Nimpu; but was niost probably soon lost, since we do not find it mentioned in the first edition of the Hortus Kewensis. The receptacle of the flower, in the specimens which have been inspected in european gardens, has been found to be clothed with chaff-like bractes; while that.of those from India, in various Herbariums, is said to be naked. . Hence both. the specific identity, as well as the admissibility of the former into a genus, of which a naked receptacle is. a character, haye been questioned. _ But from subsequent observation it appears now to be held, that the chaff is ad- ventitious, and an effect of luxuriance; so that, on this head at least, its present rank is no longer disputed. When cultivated in Provence, the florets are said to be studded with yellow powdery highly odoriferous particles, which disappear in the colder climate of Paris ; where, as we are told, the florets have a greater tendency to retain their tubular or, as the gardeners term it, “ quilled” form and not to open into thongs or ligule. In that state the appearance of the flower is considerably altered, the paler opaque exterior of the florets presenting itself, instead of the deeper-coloured bright interior. No flower varies more im colour, whence it has become by its numerous hues a prin- -cipal decoration of our conservatories in the dreary months of November and December. It survives in the open air our severest winters, in any soil (except a very wet one) and situation; but succeeds best when dressed and attended to; seldom expanding in perfection unless under shelter and in warmth. at = May J Tals I Saki wy, Lec We Sed Edwards det.

The bloom is of a pure white, with little scent during the day, but sweet by night. We have never seen a plant of it more than a foot high. The foliage reminds us of that of some of the firs, and is much more numerous and close in the spontaneous specimens we have seen, than in the garden” ones. Requires to be kept in the greenhouse; will do with the same treatment as the hardier Cape-shrubs; and is readily increased by cuttings. Blooms freely in February and March, and lasts long in flower. The Gnivra pinifolia of the Supplementum of the the younger Linneus, inserted among the synonyms of the present by Willdenow, is evidently a very distinct species, having only two, and those axillary, flowers at the end of each branch. This has been recorded by Gmelin (Syst. nat. 7. 33.) under the name of Gnipra acerosa, and in Dr. Martyn’s edition of Miller’s Dict. under that of Gnipra Sparmanni. Wendland’s pinifolia is the imberbis of the last edition of the Hortus Kewensis ; and his radiata is the present species. - The drawing was made at the nursery of Messrs.

The same collection which two months ago enabled us to add the Amarytuis ruéi/a to the list of this splendid genus, has in the present supplied another unrecorded species, su- perior in beauty to the former. It is said to have been found in the Brazils by Mr. E. Woodford ; and received by the way of Lisbon by Mr. Griffin, with whom it flowered in the dry-stove of his garden at South Lambeth in May last, for the first time. Independent of other peculiarities, it is at once dis- tinguished by the remarkably insulated upper middle seg- ment of its corolla, farther removed from its two immediate lateral ones than in any species we can recollect, and forms alone the upper lip of the flower; while the under-lip may be said to consist of the remainder, four of which converge towards the lower middle one, which does not project as in rutila and equestris. The flower has ‘no scent, is of a bright glittering salmon-colour, about four inches deep, and almost six across the widest dimension of the aperture, nearly transparent and streaked with longitudinal parallel veins, not visibly barred in the intervals, as in the leaves. The mouth of the tube is entirely smooth. Stem two feet or more high, clouded with a blueish or grey bloom; /eaves considerably shorter, of a clear unclouded green, and irre- gularly latticed-veined, the intervals between their straight Jongitudinal parallel veins being crossed or barred by broken lines at equal but irregularly disposed distances; in the way . that both flower and leaves are in AMARYLULISs “ediculata. It has been suggested to us, that the double-flowered variety of the plant, introduced a few years since by Messrs. Fraser, of Sloane Square, and known among the gardeners by the name of Amarytrs pulcherrima, may belong to this species, the colour being nearly the same; but we take that to be Amaryxuts equestris, or a Species nearer to that - than to the present, if really distinct. ‘The corolla is there, however, too much deformed by the multiplicity of petals to afford decisive evidence of such Close distinction; espe- cially as the tube is filled up, and it cannot be discerne _ with which the interior of that agrees, a Three of the stamens as they are placed on the tube, which is cut open and separated from the rest of the corolla. 4 The pistil. c An unripe capsule. dA diminished figure of the whole plant, after the flower has faded, and the fruit is set.

Stigma granulato« globosum, album. a a We have to add another species to. this..encumbered: genus; at least we are unable to reduce the present to any recorded plant that we can trace. It approaches near to - Tromaza congesta of Mr. Brown (prodr. 485), which we take to be ConvotvuLus multiflorus of the Banksian Herba- rium from New Holland; but there the leaves are all entire, smaller, and covered on the upper surface with a short dense pile like that of velvet; not as here, somewhat roughened by a thin appressed pubescence ; nor is that a shrubby species, none of which indeed came within the ob- servation of Mr. Brown in the parts of New Holland he visited. A plant of rapid and extensive growth, having in the VO Teil ieee M . present instance attained the length of near 60 feet within the space of three years from seed; and had not the swarm of runners it produces from both root and stem been re- peatedly stopped and removed, would probably have ex- tended itself on all sides to the same distance, and overrun the stove in which it grows. We can hardly conceive any single vegetable to form a more pleasing and durable orna- ment than this; which should be led round the hothouse along a lath or iron-rod, when the twining branches, clothed by a broad heart-shaped foliage, will constitute a thick evergreen wreath, from various parts of which, throughout its whole extent, a succession of large azure bloom is kept up for months together; so that the entire circumference of the house will be daily enlivened by fresh appearances of it. Individually the flowers are but of short duration; in the morning, of a vivid ultramarine blue; by mid-day, reddening at the plaits of the border ; before sun- set, wholly suffused with red, when they dissolve. The stem is.of a tough pliable wood, in external appearance’ much. like that of the Arrstorocuta Sipho. The foliage varies from cordate and undivided, to two three-lobed with broad lanceolate divisions. A stove plant, and should be placed in a border of rich loam formed within the tan-pit, and boarded off from: the tan down to the bottom. No plant can be easier to- multiply; the runners protruding their roots, even while suspended in the air, from beneath the leaf at every joint. Native of South America. Raised from seed brought from Vera Cruz about three years ago to Alexander J ohn- ston, gardener to Mrs. Hatch, Clayberry Hall, Essex; but whether gathered in the neighbourhood of the town, or in the interior of the country, cannot at present be ascer- tained. - The drawing was made at the botanical establishment of 5S the Comtesse de Vandes, Bayswater. : a The stamens as they stand within the cylindric faux. 4 The pistil. i eye | pereeniong em, we yd. tdunuty del. 4£O 40 CALENDULA chrysanthemifolia.

In the foliage and flower there is considerable difference; the latter is thelargest yet known of the genus. The whole of the herbaceous part of the plant is covered with a short harsh pubescence. It blooms freely most part of the summer, is very ornamental, and the flower lasts long unfaded; nor does it require so bright a day to expand as in Zragus, nor close so capriciously from change of weather as in that. Monsieur Ventenat, by whom it was first made known, considers the species as partaking of both Osreosprrmum and Carenputa; agreeing with the former in a fertile female ray and barren hermaphrodite disk, with the latter in the seed. MQ = fe lees Native of the Cape of Good Hope, from whence it was” introduced by Mr. Masson in 1790. ‘Till lately usually known among our gardeners by the name of Ornonna grandiflora. When the flower has been expanded for some time the ray becomes revolute in the circumference, and the disk appearing higher and more convex than usual in the genus, owing to a greater extension of the styles, it — then reminds us of that of some Rupseckias. “A .green- house plant, thriving in a mixture of peat-earth and hazel- loam.

The foliage has a rank weed-like smell, not unlike that of the common Dead-nettle; the bloom how- ever, which is produced about May or June, is rather fra- grant. The stem rises from a foot to a foot and a half — high; the leaves have sometimes the appearance of being radical, but when the stem is fully grown out they will be found to be all truly cauline, although situated low; these have sometimes a purplish hue beneath, owing to the pu-- bescence having. there assumed that colour, but are more commonly all green. The part of the world to which the species naturally belongs, seems not to be precisely deter- mined. We have heard it called siberian by some, chinese by others. Introduced by Mr. George Slater in 1789. It is a hardy greenhouse-plant, requiring no particular treat- ment; and ‘is propagated by off-sets from the root, which are however produced but sparingly. «The drawing was made at the nursery of Messrs.

But.Linneus has subsequently in the Mantissa adduced for the synonym of his species, a VOlpio mame Q plant described and figured in the Flora sibirica of Gmelin, which makes the difference palpable, and leaves it beyond dispute. Nor do we recognise our plant in any recorded Viora. In the Banksian Herbarium we find specimens of it received from the Chevalier Pallas, which were gathered on the Altay mountains in Siberia, on the confines of the chinese dominions. It has a flower that varies in size, but which is always larger than the leaf, and the largest of any Species known to us. The foliage varies from ovate rounded and longer than the petiole, to oval and slightly attenuated each way, but especially towards the petiole, which is then longer than that: a variation perceptible even in the two spontaneous specimens of the Banksian Herbarium. The whole plant is smooth, the peduncles robust, resem- bling scapes, and as well as the calyx of a livid blueish green; spur of the corolla scarcely extended beyond the lobes of the calyx. The blossom cannot be said to be fra- grant, yet when smelled near, a bitterish, but not un- pleasant odour is perceptible. ) Being still rare, it is carefully kept in garden-pots in a. frame or pit with the alpine plants. But seeding freely, ° and being easily propagated by parting the root, it will scan be common, and may then be treated like other hardy violets. Its introduction is known to have been from Russia; but we have not ascertained precisely the time when it came, by whom sent, nor by whom received. ‘We should observe, that flowers produced early in the summer are often more than twice the size of those pro- duced at a more advanced period of the year.

Q2 This fine species constantly rising in value by the pro- duction of fresh varieties of the richest and brightest colours, is becoming one of the most general ornaments of our flower-gardens in autumn, It is raised from seed with the freedom of an annual, and the varieties are multi- plied and perpetuated with the certainty and extensiveness of a perennial. Only two species are yet known to us, -and these separated by marks, both wavering and indis- tinct. Frustranea is however, as far as we have observed, a slenderer plant than the present, with a narrower foliage, smaller flower, and a stem with a more conspicuous coating of the whitish hoar-like effloresence, terined bloom in fruit. Both species grow to the height of seven or eight feet, with stems in proportion, and are leafy and branched throughout. The filaments of the stamens are elastic, and by extension admit of the anther being protruded above the floret by the impulse of the stigmas from within; as, charged with pollen, they advance to their station through its $-valved membrane which opposes their outlet at the sumr mit ; withdrawing the same to its place when these have passed. ~ A tender out-doors plant, requiring a deep bed of rich mould for its cultivation; and that the roots should be taken up and preserved from frost and wet during the win- ter, ina shelter where they can be coyered with dry sand or ashes. When the roots are divided, in order to multiply the plant, care should be taken to remove a portion of the rootstock, containing at least one eye or bud in the de- tached part. ; Native of Mexico. Introduced by the way of Spain in 1789, by the late Lady Bute. The drawing of the present showy variety, lately received from Paris, was made at the nursery of Messrs. Lee and ‘Kennedy, Hammersmith.

The Campanutas, with an elongated prismatic capsule, as in the present species, have been repeatedly marked out as the stock of a new genus. They were actually formed into one by L’Heritier, in his ‘ Sertum anglicum,” by the title of Prismarocarpus, and its character developed with the sagacity and precision which belonged to that excellent botanist. But in every subsequent general system or cata- logue of plants, we find that all the species which composed , it, have returned within the pale of Campanura; where, indeed, they sometimes occupy a distinct place, to which their former generic character is prefixed as a sectional phrase: an arrangement which we confess in this instance appears to us to be the more convenient and desirable of the two, and prevents the needless increase of new names. Monsieur Desfontaines has ascertained the synonyms from Tournefort, by a reference to the Herbarium of that author. He has also dropped an opinion that our plant may be a variety of hybrida; but gratuitously, and without sug- gesting a reason why he thinks so, or adducing a proof of the fact of its being so. When the corolla is closed, five flat folds are formed by the doubling of the divisions of the limb, which extend themselves in the shape of as many wings or angles, like the feathers of an arrow; a circum- stance that has suggested the specific name. A hardy annual, but not common in our collections, It requires no other care, after being sown in the spring, than that of seeing that the plants are parted by sutficient dis- tances by thinning them out, and that weeds are kept down.

Of such the island of Madeira has af- forded two species now cultivated in our gardens, of which the present is one. Its stem seldom exceeds a foot in height, is branched at top, where the flower-stems are produced, and is often irregularly and partially protuberant. ‘Lhe herbaceous. portion of the plant is lactescent, as throughout the genus. _ Leaves substantial, of a tender lively green, glossy at the upper surface, in the broad- leaved variety sometimes nearly three inches across. Jnfto- rescence a leafy upright patent stiffened pyramidal panicle; flowers scattered, many, but not close, of a burnt-yellow colour, firm and substantial, glossy, scentless. Calya, re- markable for being of the colour of the corolla, and-for the: upright direction of the leaflets. This has assumed the form by which it abides long before the narrower paler corolla which is contained within it; and appears for some time in its centre as an oblong pointed scarcely taller cylinder, at last gradually thrown open by the elastic - force of. the stigmas in extending themselves after they have received the pollen of the anthers under its enclosure ; the segments then fall back in the intervals of the calyx. Stigmas five, ultimately radiate to the base, furred at the back, where the pollen is retained in a thick coat, carried off from the anthers which have been pressed against them at that part by the narrow space of the corolla during the progress of their extension. ; Introduced by Mr. Masson in 1777: but even at this day far from a common plant in our collections, notwith- standing its handsome bloom and easy culture. If planted in a proportionate pot of common sandy loam, and placed in the greenhouse in winter, it requires no more care than the commonest vegetable of that department of the garden. To us it has the formal appearance of an artificial plant. - Chiefly, we believe, raised from seed, which is sometimes ripened with us. __ According to Mr. Masson’s notes preserved in the Bank- sian Library, the variety « is found at Madeira on spots near the coast, @ on rocks in the interior of the island. - The drawing was made from a fine specimen, with seve- tal flower-spikes, at the nursery of Messrs.

Viewed thus in their final station on the stigma, these bodies were _ by some observers held to be the stamens of a gynandrous a flower, while the remainder of the stamineous structure was left unaccounted for. By others, who combined with the view of those parts that of the natural. relation of thé parent-plant to the rest of the vegetable system, and. drew their conclusion in part from analogy, the same bodies were surmised to be the distinct secretions of the cells of the five bilocular anthers of as many stamens of a pen- tandrous flower; and both their formation‘and station to be secondary.

Corolla purplish white, with five vertical prominent com- pressed appendages, fixed at equal-distances along the out- side of the stamineous tube, resembling so many diminutive porcelane handles, or brackets. pre ad These are the nectaries of Linneus; are partly. hollow ‘and partly solid, but contain no liquid as far as we observed ; and of the share they bear beyond ornament, in the economy ‘of the plant, nothing seems to be known.

Although the blossom of the present species does not display the splendid colours which distinguish that of the. greater portion of the genus, the delicacy of its form, its abundance and long-continued succession, go far to atone this failure. The stem is climbing, clothed with a dense soft down, and attains the length of twenty feet or more, extending itself on all sides by slender numerously flowered branches. The foliage is unequally trilobate, the side lobes being little more than the sites of obliterated R& —— lobes; both surfaces are coated with a soft velvet-like pile. The flowers diffuse a fragrance which reminds us of that which proceeds from a medley of the finer kinds of ripe fruit. The corolla and inside of the calyx are of a trans- parent tender white, and come very near to those of /unata, but are larger. The fruit we have not seen, but have heard described as small, roundish, and of a yellow colour. Native of South America; where it was found by Dr. Houston, growing naturally at La Vera Cruz..

Native of Mexico, and raised, as well as fulgens, which made its appearance in Europe at the same time, from seed brought home by Messrs. Humboldt and — Bonpland from their celebrated travels. Introduced from Paris about a year ago. May be known from -fulgens at first sight, altho’ closely akin, by a smooth shining surface, which in the other is clothed by a short close pubescence, imparting to it a paler opaque appearance, as if it were ob- scured by dust. Splendens is the taller-growing plant, pro- duces offsets from the axis of the rootstock in a horizontal direction, not from the side, perpendicularly; the leaf is- X flat, and inno way revolute at the margin; and the corolla is of a still deeper ‘and brighter poppy-colour than in the other. The long-familiar cardinalis, closely allied to both,. has a corolla of the same form and colour, but upon a much smaller scale, an elliptic rugose decursively petioled leaf, not broad at the hase; and embracing a considerable por- tion of the. circumference of the stem, as in both its above relatives, ; ' At present our plant is generally kept in the greenhouse; but is in fact hardy. When grown in large-sized pots ‘filled with rich loam, and not of too loose a texture, will attain the height of four or five feet, form many branches, — and continue to show a succession of bloom from July to November. Multiplied with great facility by suckers, and sometimes, we are told, ‘by seed, which it ripens on the ‘continent. — a ma ei ‘Miller, in the 7th edition of his Dictionary (Raruntium. 7. ‘9.), has a species, the description of which, as far as it ‘goes, agrees with our plant in every thing, except in the mention of a short spike of flowers, and quite entire leaves. ‘He says it was taller, larger flowered, and more tender than cardinalis, and that it came from Campeachy. We do not -find it adopted or noticed elsewhere; but have some sus- -picion» that it was of the present species, which has been - ‘since lost in our collections. . “The drawing was made at the nursery of Messrs.

Native of the mountains of the continent of India, where it was seen by Dr. Buchanan on the sand by the sides of the rivers in Nepaul. We hear that there is still another yellow-flowered species with insipid scarlet fruit, which is as peculiar to the islands of India as this is to the continent, but which has not yet, we believe, reached the european gardens. Introduced by the late Mr. Charles Greville, by whom it. was cultivated at Paddington in 1804. Usually treated as a greenhouse plant; but we have seen it in a still more ‘ hirsuto: stipule gemine, parve, lanceolate, opposite flourishing state in the open ground at Messrs. Whitley, Brames’, and Milne’s nursery, Parson’s Green. The drawing was made from a plant kindly communicated to Mr. Edwards by Mr. N. 8. Hodson, of South Lambeth. Sir James Smith, misled by an unfaithful figure and im- erfect specimen of the species, had conceived the seed to he baccate, having a covering of juicy pulp as in the Rasp- berry and Blackberry, instead of the dry one of the Straw- berry, which really belongs to it. Combining this charac- ter with the yellow bloom and biformed calyx, he has been induced to make our plant the foundation of anew genus, which he has called Ducursnea, to commemorate Mons, Duchesne, the ingenious author of the illustrations of the species of Fracarta, Taking it however for granted, that the misconceived nature of the seed has been mainly relied on in framing the new genus, we consider the structure as baseless, and deserted by the framer, _ @ The calyx with stamens and pistils, after the corolla has been removed, Gyd.

But the differences of the one not being uniformly conjoined with those of the other, and in the corolla having no definable limit, he ‘had been repeatedly led to refer to Convoxvurus plants with the stigma allotted to Iromaa, as in the present in- stance. Many similar transpositions having accumulated, from the attempts of succeeding botanists to conform in ‘their arrangement of species to thé characters so constituted, the two genera had become nearly useless in relation to each other. But Jacquin, in his late reform of their cha- racters, has relied singly upon the difference of the stigmas; and no dislocation seems to be thence inferred in the natural connexion of the species that could have been avoided by more complex combinations, as the species are now found - VOR. I, S "+ t to fall into their places with facility, and to range to ad- vantage. Mr. Brown has since’ thought it necessary to de- tach from both genera a division, under the appellation of Catysrecia, which he distinguishes by a calyx which is enclosed between two leafy bractés, and by a capsule which is unilocular. The present plant is a native of the East Indies, where, according to Dr. Roxburgh, it grows in. hedges and thickets; flowers during the wet ‘season; and affords pro- vender to cattle. Jacquin mentions it as native of the Isle of France. The former says the stem grows some fathoms in length, and dies down every year to the root; the lat- ter, that in the Isle of France it winds round the trunks of trees to the height of twenty feet, and does not die down annually ; altho’ we-see it certainly does when ‘culti- vated in our stoves. ‘The root is perennial, and consists of elongated round fleshy lactescent tubers, brown on the out- side, Leaves. 3-6 inches. long, palmate, 7-nerved, divided to beyond: the: middle into 5-5-7 lobes, the outer ones of which are smallest.

The pre- cise date of its appearance in' Europe has, however, never been fixed, and the country it 1s natural to, is still a ques- tion. The Hortus Kewensis makes it indigenous of the East Indies; Mr. R. A. Salisbury, who has devoted an ela- - borate treatise to the plant, of Mexico. As far as we have _ searched, the latter opinion alone seems to be supported by any thing like direct evidence. No writer we have turned to | even hints at an authority for its having been found wild in any part of the East Indies. The title of “ indicus,” constantly joined to its specific phrase by the older botanists, aS BSE em ; oa es! with them might refer to either East or West Indies. But in the history of the plants of Mexico, compiled from ob- servations made on the spot by Hernandez, the plant 1s said in precise words “ to be produced in the temperate and cool districts (of Mexico), and to be a kind of Narcissus, not known in the old world.” Here we can hardly avoid inferring, from the first part of the sentence, that it is meant to be recorded as indigenous; although we may be inclined to dispute the authority of a naturalist of two hundred years ago, who presumes to decide a plant’s not being native of any other part of the globe than Ame- rica. Father Camell, again, whose account of the vege- tables found in Luzon (one of the Philippine isles) has been - added by Ray to his own work, tells us unequivocally that the plant had been imported by the Spaniards from Mexico, by whom it was called Vara de S. José, Saint Joseph’s wand, and that it was known by the name of the Mexican Aspho- del. The Flora peruviana, on the other hand, enumerates it merely as a garden-plant in Peru; altho’ that work is cited by Monsieur Redouté, as well as the learned writer of the botanical articles in Rees’s Cyclopedia, as enumerating it for one of the wild plants of that country. The appellation it has obtained with us of “ The Tube- rose, evidently originates in its having been distinguished by all the older botanists from the bulbous-rooted Hyacinth, by the description of the “ Hyacinth witha tuberous root,” Hyacinthus tuberosus, or tuberosd radice. The present ge- neric name is sometimes written Poryantrues; but since it is admitted to be compounded of wor and aybog, alluding to its being a favourite in towns, and not of zoAue and ayes, we shall scarcely be thought pedantic in saying, that the spelling at the head of this article is right. _ The roots are annually imported by the Italian warehouse- men from Italy and Portugal, and sometimes from the warmer parts of North America. They arrive early in the spring, and if then planted, by a slight assistance from the hotbed, flower in the open air about September. The main root perishes after flowering, and is replaced by a brood of offsets, which become flower-bearers in their turn, ° The double variety is known to have been raised from seed — by a Mons". de la Cour, at Leyden, about 60 or 70 years ago, Cultivated in England by Parkinson in 1629. via a A flower dissected, to show the stamens and pistil, Syed Clans at Bh by I Ityroay (70 Frecadily Sen LDS oH Prost He a 64, DIGITALIS ambigua.

Yet, according to Dr. Roth, the plant which that botanist had in view was not the present, but one between it and /utea, nearer akin to the latter, and since named media by the Doctor, but adopted by Persoon in his ‘‘ Synopsis,” under the title of intermedia. Thus, should the two plants prove to be really distinct species, the name of ambigua will designate the one for which it was not originally intended. In intermedia the stem is described as smooth ; not pubescent, as in the pre- sent ambigua, the leaves pubescent only at the edge and base; not so over both surfaces, especially the under, the bractes smooth; not pubescent on both sides, the leaflets of the calyx equal; not conspicuously unequal, the upper lip of the corolla obtusely bifid; not broad rounded and slightly emarginate, the middle segment of the lower lip obtuse and straight; not acute, and somewhat reflex at the top. The flower of intermedia is also much smaller than | in our plant, of a paler sulphur colour, and its calyx nearly twice as large. _ Ambigua is a hardy plant, and will grow almost any- where without care. Propagated by ‘seed and by parting the root. Blooms in July and August. Native of the more southern parts of Europe, especially of Germany, chiefly affecting mountainous situations. No mention is made of its possessing any portion of the medicinal qualities for which the closely allied purpurea is famed. | The drawing was made at Mr. Knight’s nursery, King’s Road, Little Chelsea. a The corolla dissected, to show the stamens... 4 The pistil. ’ Auth dee yd Chanda deb. degigl A Lib ly I Rubgwway 170 Reeadily Nev 1 1415. 65 ERICA tumida. — Scarlet bloated-flowered' Heath.

We do not find this species registered in any publica- tion that has fallen in our way, or if it is, we have not recognised it. At a first glance our plant might be easily mistaken for a variety of the more common Enrica ceriniho- ides, with which it participates to a considerable extent in habit and colour. But in fumida the foliage is on a much smaller scale than in that, the inflorescence disposed by twos and fours, not in numerously crowded-flowered bunches; its corolla is also remarkably distended and of nearly three times the circumference of that of cerinthoides; its anthers are awned, in that awnless; the stigma inclosed in that, pro- truded in this. In éwmida the corolla is about an inch long, in the other somewhat longer; in both of the finest scarlet hue, clouded by the pubescent covering of the exterior surface. ; Introduced, we understand, about three or four years » ago by Mr. Niven, from the Cape of Good Hope. It re- quires, like all the congeners from that part of the world, to be cultivated in sandy peat-mould, and sheltered from frost in an airy light greenhouse. We have seen no speci- mens of it much above a foot high, and even such are as yet very rare. The drawing was taken this summer at Messrs. Colville’s nursery in the King’s Road, Chelsea. a The calyx; detached. 6 A stamen, showing the anther with its’ ser- rulate awns. c The pistil. All more or less magnified.

The first mention we find of the species is in Will- denow’s late enumeration of the plants cultivated in the Berlin garden. It has not found a place in the last edition of the Hortus Kewensis. From the common Fumarra lutea it differs in being biennial, not perennial; in having a corolla with pointed petals, not blunt and rounded; a spur more than half the length of the flower, straight and equal to the pedicle, not deflex, and several times shorter than both pedicle and corolla; by a seed-vessel which is torose and twice as long as the pedicle, not linear, even, and shorter than the pedicle. The corolla is of a golden yellow, more than half an inch long, and has a protuberance below the middle of the undermost petal. In reality, were it not for the colour of the flower, dutea would not have presented itself as the point of comparison, but sempervirens, to which it is far nearer akin. : We have not learned the date of its introduction, but suspect that it has found its way here from the parisian gardens, where it had probably travelled from that of Ber- lin, in which it is known to have been raised by Willdenow VOL. I. T from seed, sent him from America by one of his correspond- ents in that country. Tolerably hardy; but is best secured in a warm sheltered border, where it will flower about June, and ripen the seed freely.

It is a perennial herbaceous plant, seldom exceeding a foot and half in height, with the fibres of the root thick and fleshy; stem sheathed by the lower portions of the foliage; deaves coriaceous, distich, patent, T2 : alternate, varying from half an inch to an inch and half in breadth, sometimes rounded with a short point at the top, sometimes lanceolate, sometimes of a silvery hue beneath and thickly covered with minute green dots, at others purplish. JVower-stalk long, terminal, upright, entirely clothed by alternate sphacelate deciduous sheaths, in strong plants bearing several spikes? Spike refracted, many-flowered, pointing one way, with the flowers dis- posed in the form of avorymb. Corolla sessile, about three parts of an inch long; petals of a dusky reddish brown; lip of a yellowish herbaceous colour, with a firmness and gloss that gives it the appearance of being formed of wax; scent very faint. Native of the West Indies. Found by Swartz in Ja- maica, on trees growing on the mountains. Introduced by Lord Gardner in 1790. Produces several flowering stems from the same root at various times of the year. Requires the treatment which we have already recommended for another species (see fol. 17) from the same regions.

Mr. Pursh, unacquainted with this circumstance, has inserted it in the supplement to his North American Flora by another. Native of South Carolina. Blooms with us from the end of July to the end of October. Seldom exceeds two feet in height. Ornamental, and succeeds in the open air if planted in a warm sheltered situation. Being yet rare, we have found it more frequently cultivated in pots, in order to be placed in the pit or frame during the winter, Propagated by parting the roots. .

Jacq, fil., ubi supra. It has been the fate of this plant to be removed from its original situation in Jusricra to be the stock of a separate genus by two botanists, so nearly at the same time, that neither seems to have been apprized of the intention of the. other, Hence its late appearance under two new names. That which we have adopted, in conformity with the Hortus Kewensis, is derived from a trivial feature in the anthers ; the other is bestowed in compliment to one of the Counts Harrach, who is said to be a great encourager of Botany in Austria, where he resides. Both the botanists had, however, neglected to insert among its generic cha- racteristics, the feature which is chiefly relied on to keep the genus asunder from Rvetria, viz. the unilocular anthers. Indeed one of them has not even noticed it in his general description. ‘his omission has been supplied by Mr. Brown in the character we have prefixed to the present article. In the closely kindred genus ApHeranpra, the anthers are likewise unilocular, but the corolla is bilabiate, not one-lipped, asin this. Our shrub, we are told, has not exceeded the height of two feet in any european collection. The bark on the stem is greyish, on the branches, which are all axillary, green. _ The spikes terminal, numerous, imbricate, and quadran- gular as in so many species of this natural order. The co- rollas about an inch and half long, of an opaque salmon- colour, more or less deep, sometimes approaching to ver- million. Native of the East Indies. Introduced by Dr. William Roxburgh, about the year 1800: according to whom it flowers the. year round in the Bengal-Gardens, and becomes a pretty large shrub. — With us a stove-plant; propagated by cuttings. When it has several branches, and the spikes terminating these are completely in bloom, it is certainly very ornamental. The drawing was made at Messrs.

Its mode of growth is-similar to the common Honeysuckle of our edges; and can be no _where seen to such advantage as planted in the border of a conservatory, where a proper support to wind its long branches upon has been provided. About the middle of summer a profusion of bloom appears, of the richest fra- grance; the odour not of the kind afforded by the european species, but rather approaching that of the Orange-flower, the Tuberose, and Cape Jasmine. It is evergreen, and co- VOL, I, U a aa vered throughout with a short close pubescence. All the leaves are distinct and petioled; but the petioles of the upper ones are in fact connate, encircling the branch, in the way of the true perfoliate leaf, usual in the upper foliage of this genus, The species is remarkable, as partaking of the characters of both the divisions under which the rest of the genus have been commonly arranged. It has the long flower and twining stem of the Periclymena, with the solitary two- flowered axillary peduncles of the Chamecerasa; thus un- dermining Jussieu’s genera, Xyrosrzon and Caprirotium, as distinguished from Lonicera, and confirming the pro- priety of preserving the latter so far at least entire. Fi- . gures of the plant frequently occur in chinese hangings and drawings, it being, as we are told, in great estimation in China for its beauty and fragrance. Introduced in 1806 by the Court of Directors of the East India Company, in their ship the Hope, Capt. Pendergrass. Sent by Mr. William Kerr.

Considerable pains ap- pear to have been bestowed on an analytical arrangement of the species, the best defence we have against an inundation. of new gencric names, A supplement is announced, and is, to-contain many more figures than: are in the former part. This had been already communicated in: manuscript to Monsieur Poiret, who has introduced the substance into a late volume of the supplement to Lamarck’s Encyclopedia. We haye not, however, been able to discover our plant in any specics. It agrees in part with éridynamum ; hie tthe stem im that-is described as herbaceous and, prickly, and no mention is made of the species being polygamous, nor of any ‘difference between the barren and the fertile calyx. “Th the last points our plant coincides with polygamum, but there again the barren flowers are not tridynamous, viz. with three anthers large, the others small. KP i Amazonium would Rave ranged under Nycrerium, but that genus has been reduced to.

The corolla of both flowers is jrregular, but that of the barren one more conspicuously so, the'angles or segments being separated by much deeper sinuses than in the fertile one. The longest Jeaves we have seen were about six inches long and three broad; of an elongated ovate form, and sinuately lobed with shal- low rounded side-lobes, generally unequal at their base, usually beset by a few tawny subulate prickles scattered along the nerves on both surfaces, but more thickly on the petiole. The whole foliage is often tinged with a tawny yellow hue on the upper surface, but is always white beneath; its upper lobe far attenuated, but blunt. Said to be native of Mexico. Perhaps the most orna- mental species of the genus; affording a succession of bloom from the middle of summer to the beginning of winter.

In bloom from July to September. Both scientific and ver- nacular appellations have been suggested, by the long tube or neck of the corolla, Propagated by seed, which should be sown in the au- tumn, according-to Miller, soon after\it is ripe. When the plants are large enough they are to be transplanted into a border, with an eastern aspect, where they may remain till the autumn following, and then be planted where they are to flower, which they will do the next summer. But the plant thrives best on old walls and ruins, where it will shed its seed and multiply without any further trouble, if there be ‘but earth enough for it to strike root in. It endures‘our winter much better in such a situation than in the most. sheltered border of the flower-garden. The drawing was made from a plant sent by Mr. N.

It is not easy to say in what respect it differs from Garventa florida (the Cape Jasmine), except in being of much inferior size. Radicans seldom exceeds the height of a foot, florida often becomes six or seven feet high; the leaf in the firstis from one to two inches long, and seldom more than three parts of an inch over; in the latter nearly three times that size, of a more oblong form, and not tapered nearly so far towards the base. The _ disproportion between the flowers of the two is less; these in both are of the same coriaceous substance, whiteness, and delightful fragrance, and in both fade awa, after nearly a fortnight’s endurance, to a yellow hue. ‘I'he habit ascribed to the present species, of putting out roots from the stem aboye ground, and which has suggested the name, VOL, I, Kes has not been observed here, except when the plant has been kept for some time iia peculiarly warm damp situation. It is plain that this new comer will supersede the long-standing florida. It is propagated with the greatest facility, and by management may be made to flower nearly the year round. When a flower dies, two new branches ap- pear by the side of its stalk, each of which, if the plant is continued in the hothouse, will soon produce a flower in its turn, and so on in succession. But florida is a plant of more difficult management, flowers only once in the year, and that far more shily; takes more room, and has no su- periority in beauty. A cutting of radicans, as soon as it has taken root, will bear a flower. The nurserymen generally keep their stock of these plants, from the autumn till about March, in the greenhouse, and then plunge them into a common hotbed; by which means they are presently brought into bloom. Plants so treated last longer, and continue more healthy, than when kept constantly in the hothouse, — ~ Much cultivated in China, from whence it was. sent by: Mr. William Kerr in 1804, to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, in the Henry Addington, Captain Kirkpatrick. ; The drawing was made at the nursery of Messrs. Colville,, King’s Road, Little Chelsea. Plants of it are now frequent in all the principal nurseries near London, being most justly in great request. ; ae “hit = #3 om ae Bil by A Rabprry yo faved My hee t Mts tudl tet Che “nN Puith, Me 74 NERIUM odorum. £.

They were first separated in the former edition of the Hortus Kewensis, the present be- ing distinguished by having the segments of the calyx up- right, and the scales at the mouth of the tube multifariously parted and linear. Besides these marks, its foliage is gene~ xX 2 rally of lighter green and less substantial, and the bloom odorous. Miller made three species of them, of which the double variety of odorum constituted one. The present plant is a straight branching shrub, remind- ing us of the Osier, seldom exceeding 7-8 feet: stem round, bark brown: Jeaves firm narrow-lanceolate, 3-6 inches long, %-1 inch broad, generally in threes :; cymes terminal, many-. flowered, loose: corolla much multiplied, peach-coloured, becoming redder when exposed to the open air for any time; scent resembling that of bitter almonds, or rather the peruvian Heliotrope, but still more powerful, Cultivated in the Chelsea physic-garden in 1683; but had either become very rare or been entirely lost: for, on the return of an intercourse with France,. plants. of -it brought from thence were regarded as novelties by our gardeners, and supposed to be different from those formerly in the country. But this is a mistake, the present be- ing certainly the variety cultivated by Miller, as we have proved both by the description in his dictionary and the specimen in the Banksian Herbarium. However, this will not depreciate its worth, since there cannot be a more desirable plant for our collections. ’ It is known in the West Indies by the name of the South Sea Rose, and was much cultivated there for ornamental fences, till having been found noxious to the cattle that) browzed it, it was confined to 'the garden. Both this and’ Oleander have the reputation of being poisonous. From size well suited to the border of the conservatory; will do in the greenhouse, but we have never seen it in such perfection as in the hothouse, where it will continue to bloom till winter sets in, Multiplied by cuttings.

On plants that are left — to grow in small garden-pots, or are yet young, the cymes seldom consist of more than five or six flowers, and these sometimes contracted nearly into the form of an umbel. But in full-grown plants, which have sufficient depth of mould, the flowers are from 15 to 20, in a broad dichotomous cyme. ‘The species comes near to paniculata (see fol. 62); but the flowers of insignis are generally paler, “smaller, and more.numerous. The foliage of the two is very distinct, that of paniculata being always palmate, while in this it varies from entire, to three-lobed, with pointed shallow side-lobes, sometimes to 5-7-lobed, but then sinuately and irregularly so; it is also usually tinged with violet-red, or purple, beneath. In the leaf of paniculata the upper pair of nerves issue from the mid-rib, at a point. nearly half an inch above that at which the two lower pair -* > | 7 | { are produced; but in insignis all these spring from one point at the base. The petioles in both have a small gland placed on each side the convex back, at the point where they enter the leaf, from which drops of a clear liquid are seen to distil. The roots of both are tuberous; the stems. annual, LacaT Va ate Among Dr. Roxburgh’s unpublished drawings of Coro- mandel plants in the library of Sir Joseph Banks, we found one of a plant under the name of Convotvutus fastigiatus, which we have little doubt is the present species. We could not find, however, any description or account of it. In the drawing the seeds do not appear to be pubescent,. as is the case in paniculata, . fig _. Unless this should be our plant, its native country does. not seem to be determined. Multiplied by cuttings with: facility. SS je . To display it in perfection, an extensive trellis and rather lofty hothouse are required. The drawing was made at Messrs. Lee and Kennedy's’ nursery,, Hammersmith, in October last.

The stem-varies in its direction, being sometimés decum- bent, sometimes nearly upright, and unites in itself, in a greater or less degree, both the opposite and alternate habit of foliage ; circumstances not ascertained by its first his- torians, and which have caused the separation of the two varieties into as many species. A greater or less proportion of the upper leaves are always opposite, the rest scattered. - Mr. Pursh mentioned to us, that he had found it grow- - ing on mounds of sand which had been gradually accumu+ ’ Jated by the wind to a considerable height, having a root which descended to near two fathom in depth: that in such situations the stem was decumbent; in sheltered fertile ones generally upright. The leaves vary from three inches long and nearly one broad, to very narrow; from oblong, to lanceolately attenuate, and to linear. The stem from one to two feet high, or more. The name of “ Swallow-wort” takes its rise with the european officinal species (Ascrerras Vincetoxicum) ; and seems to be a version of Hirundinaria, the denomination that plant appears under in most of the works of the old botanists; to whom the name was suggested by a visionary assimilation of the fruit-vessel with its plumed seed, to a Swallow on the wing. ; | Generally raised from imported seed. “Requires to be placed in a warm, dry, sheltered border of light mould.

But we see no defect in any name by which a genus is ge- nerally and rightly known, of which the inconvenience cau ever equal that infallibly cansed by the change of it; VOL. I, xX ; and prefer the well known denomination to that less known, altho’ of better taste. : The plant is singular as well as beautiful. The scarlet undulate retroverted ascending segments of the corolla, are likened by Linnzus to so many flames; the style points horizontally, and appears as if broken at the base and fallen on its side; the root is a fleshy brittle elongated somewhat flattened tuber, bent downwards on each side from the middle into a kind of arch, from the upper part of the, eentre of which the stem rises; in old plants a catenation of these forms a structure of very singular appearance. Monsieur Desfontaines recommends the taking up of these when the stem decays, and laying them by in the hothouse, before they are replanted in the spring. The stem is from six to ten feet high, weak and supported by the hold that the leaves take of the neighbouring plants, by means of a spiral tendril growing from their point. The corolla varies from two to three inches in depth. The plant has the reputation of being poisonous. Its place in the natural system is among. the Zilia, near to Eryturonium and Uvurartia.

Pedunculi axillares; The flower of this species has several features which dis- tinguish it strongly from that of the others‘of the genus in this work; it is open from the time of its appearance in the bud-state; the disk of the calyx rises into a cupular tube for nearly half the length; the petals are longer and ¥2 broader than the segments of the calyx, and are placed on the inner rim of its tube; the rays of the outer crown converge cylindrically round the column; the inmost or operculum is deflected along the side of the tube towards the bottom down to the dissepiment, that forms a circle on the inner wall a little above the base of the colwmn, which has a slender stipe that elevates the parts it supports beyond the corolla. ‘The species differs from P. Murucuja chiefly in having the crown parted into linear stripes, and not of one connected piece. The upper leaves are remarkable for encircling the branches which bear them by the lobes that. form the sinus or indentation at the base, and thus assuming the perfoliate mien of the upper foliage of certain sorts of Honeysuckle. The stem we believe seldom exceeds the length of. ten feet, is villous above, as are the peduncles, petioles, and even the leaves along the nerves at their under surface, where they are likewise glaucous and veined.

Probably likewise of the fruit, which in the one is of the size of a pea; in the other larger than a swan’s eee. “In the natural system Passirrora was first assorted with the Cupparides, or vegetables allied to the Caper- plant; afterwards more correctly with the Cucurbitacee or Gourd-tribe. From these, however, it has been since detached by the present luminary of the science, Pro- fessor de Jussieu, and forms the foundation of a separate natural order to which it gives the name. The order is distinguished from that of the Cucurbitacee, by being furnished with-stipules, by having stamens and pistil in the same flower, by a germen detached from the calyx and. éorolla, by stamens concrete with the stipe or stalk of thé fruit, by anthers of a quite different conformation, distinct from each other, and fixed to their filament at the middle: In the artificial system, the genus had fluctuated between Gynandria and Pentandria, but is now correctly fixed by Cavanilles in Monadelphia; the filaments being connate, and also below the gérmen, not upon it, as in a gynandrous flower. _ The fruit is a berry of the sort specified by the term pepo; of which we know no closer equivalent than gourd. In tlie West Indies it is called by the spanish name of Gra nadilla, from being full of seed, as in the Granata or Ponie- granate, . a eer ee ee bis The species is native of Jamaica, Virginia, Carolina, and Florida. Will endure our common winters planted at the foot of a warm wall. The root i8 perennial arid creeping. The stem herbacéous, diffusely branched; climbing by ten- drils, seldom exceeding four feet. The foliage varies much in size, and when young has a minute soft pubescence om the under surface, as well as the petiole, peduncle, and bratiches.. The flowers are generally in pairs, and appear about August. In the article Passtrtora /olosericea (fol. 59), we havé in two places termed the dissepiment or partition betweeit the receptacle of the column and the nectary, by mistake, “the incomplete operculum or cover:” By operculum thé immost membranous crown, 4 sort of ruffle that lies over the nectary, is meant. The plant was introduced by Catesby in 1714. - The drawing was made from a specimen with which Mr. Edwards was favoured by Lady Aylesford, from her col- lection at Stanmore. : a Outer crown.

Ia his general description, how-- ever, the former will be found to speak of the column, only as almost equal to the corolla. We have reviewed attentively what each of them has said of his subject, and inspected both specimens of their plants in the Banksian Herbarium (where Jacquin’s indeed is flowerless), and are persuaded of the specific identity of the two. The corolla, when full blown, by a contortion of the lower part of the germen which supports it, is always resupinate, that is, with the directions of the upper and lower halves of its plane reversed, as in the european Violets. Germen together with the short continuous pedicle about an inch high, cylindrical, tapering downwards, prominently three- ribbed, unilocular, with three parietal placentiform recep- tacles, attaching numerous ovula. Corolla superior, five- parted, segments lanceolate, equal in length, varicosely nerved, ¢wo inner very narrow and linear. Labellum ( Nectary Linn.) placed between the two outer lateral segments of the corolla, which it rather exceeds and differs from in form and consistence, conjoined for the length of its narrow up- right turbinately tubular spurless unguis with the column in front; lamina broad, patent, cordate, rounded, transversely broader, conspicuously veined, 3-lobed, two Jdateral lobes large, rounded, descending far down the sides of the column; middle one small, cleft into two blunt flat lobules; a straight prominent nerve passes to the apex from the mouth at the base, on each side of which is placed a raised green-coloured glandule. Column (or gynandrous style) upon the summit of the germen, upright, semicylindrical, one third or more shorter-than the corolla, edge of the summit scarcely raised beyond the anther. Stamen an anther inserted nearest the nether side of the summit of the column, lid-shaped, move- able, deciduous, brown, hemispherical; cedlules 4, parallel, convergent, standing on the inner front .of the lid-shaped- receptacle, and immersed in the cavity at the: summit of the column. Pollen-masses 4, globular, compact, smooth, pa- rallel, each tailed by a short granulated thread, by which it becomes fixed to the stigma, when the case of the anther ee from a cell of which it has been excreted, falls off. Stigma concave, fronting the labellum at the top of the column, close to the anther. Capsule 3-valved, fenestrate, that is, with lateral openings, its frame remaining connected at both ends.

Botanists have given it a full share of their attention, but it had been no where exemplified by a coloured figure. The stem seldom exceeds two feet in height, generally branched ; leaves pinnate, leaflets five-paired, ac- cording to Linnaus only three-paired in the maturer plant, outer pairs gradually larger, each leaflet ovate lanceolate, rough at the edge; petiole with a single protuberant gland on the inside of its base: when handled they diffuse a strong narcotic scent, which in our colonies has acquired the plant the appellation of “ The Stinking Weed.” ‘ Flowers on the racemes (which are axillary and terminal) in pairs; corolla concave, veined, of a dullish unspotted yellow colour; anthers opening by a double orifice at their summit, from the under margin of which a roundish lami- nar lobe is projected; fading from a light to a tawny yel- low. Siigma a dilated termination of the style. of a deep vivid green colour. Legume or pod, narrow, faleately li- near, flattened, torose or protuberant where each seed lies, edged by a narrow pale cartilaginous border, Upon the authority of a MS note in the Banksian Mu- seum, written when the Herbarium of that establishment was collated with the Linnean, we have resolved Cassra planisiliqua into the present species. Planisiliqua was. first recorded by Van Royen (or rather by Linnzus under his name) in a work subsequent to the Hortus Cliffortianus in which occidentalis first appeared, and had been probably taken up solely from the figure cited for it from Plumier’s work. The specimen found under that name in the Lin- nean Herbarium is an East Indian plant with eight-paired leaves, and plainly neither that of the description nor of the synonym. The drawing was made from a plant raised from seed, which flowered this autumn in Lady Aylesford’s collection at Stanmore. : A hothouse plant cultivated by Philip Miller in 1759. In Jamaica it is very common, and we are told used by the negroes as medicine. ead a The stamens and pistil. 4A stamen: magnified. ¢ The lobe that projects’ from below the double orifice of the larger anthers: magnified, d The pistil ; magnified, hcvrely tel. al C4 he 1a % IQA} 5 re ara oe 84.

The present plant however is that which has passed traditionally in our collections for barbadense, and is the one of the Banksian Herbarium, Hortus Kewensis, Swartz, Willdenow, &c. &c. _ The species approaching the nearest to it are the East Indian. VOL. I. AA religiosum with coloured wool, and the South American hirsutum with green seed, each distinct from the present, where the wool is white and the seed black. Yet Dr. Swartz, after observing the three in their cultivated state in the colonies of the West Indies, says, that they are with diffi- culty recognised from each other; and that they vary in so many and such material points, that he can easily believe them to be one species. But are not near species of most — phenogamous vegetables liable, from intermixed culture, “to run,” as the gardeners say; or, in other words, to be- come a mixed race? And are not close species which pro- . duce the staple of a long-standing and extensive commerce, and have been purposely brought together with the view of experiment’ and improvement, especially liable to inter- mixture of race and consequent variation? But can we adduce as evidence of derivation from a same primary type intercurrent variations of vegetables so circumstanced ? The plant with us is perennial, and grows. to the height of 7-8 feet; the stem dying down every year, after produ- one seed, if kept constantly in the bark-bed of the hot- ouse. : Beit The cotton or wool consists of the fleeces of the seed, forming a separate ball in each cell of the capsule. When, picked from the capsule for use, this is freed from the seed “ by means ofa small mill, consisting of two bright steel “rollers, each about an inch in diameter, set parallel within “the distance’ of about the 20th part of an inch. ‘These “rollers move different ways, and draw the cotton through, “them, while the seeds ‘are forced out of their respective: * little balls*of-down “in which they are enclosed.” It is of inconceivable elasticity; and a large mass, by a compres- sion familiar to those who pack it for carriage, may be, Te-. duced within a compass incredibly small.

And if we were to de- termine hederaceus and Nil by the synonyms adduced by _ Linneus, we should be of opinion that they included four species between them: 1. The asiatic plant; (Curt. bot. Mag. t. 188. Dill. elth. 96. t. 80, fie. 91.) 2. That from _ the Coast of Guinea; (Dill. elth. 97. t. 81. fig. 93.) 3. The South American plant figured in the Flora Peruviana of Ruiz and Pavon, t. 119. f. a. by the title of Ipoma:a cus- pidata; (Dill. elth. 99. t. 83. fig. 96.) 4. The one before us from North America; (Dull. elih. 96. ¢. 8. fig. 92.) Mr. Brown, in his Prodromus of the Flora of New Hol- land, according to his view of C. Nil and hederaceus of Linneus, has reduced them to one species, which he has transferred to Ipoma@a by the name of hederacea. But Jac- quin had already enrolled our plant in that genus by the same appellation, which we have maintained for it in right of priority; and the rather as Wi is thus vacant for the other. - In our plant the lateral lobes of the leaves converge to- wards a broader ventricosely ovate centre one, from which they are separated by deep contracted sinuses, rounded at the bottom. In the other the lateral lobes are shorter, and diverge from the one in the centre, which is lanceolately ovate, and separated by shallow divaricate sinuses, some- times obliterated. The tube of the calyx in the present is clothed with a thick hirsute tawny pubescence; the seg- ments are long, subulate, and revolutely patent, in the: other straight and conniyvent, The limb of the corolla is here rounded, there cornered, It is seen in perfection only in the very early part of the day, and is called “ the Morning Glory,” in America. The seed should be sown. in the spring, with that of other annuals, and the plants treated like those of the twining kinds. ‘The species is seldom seen in our gardens, altho’ known in them from the days of Parkinson.

S. S. Gottin- gensis) as natural to St. Jago. The last place 1s that in- scribed on his sample, and on his drawing in the Banksian. Museum, where it is found under the title of acuminatus, which was changed upon publication, Samples, now pre- served in the above Museum, have been collected subse- quently im the same quarter by Sir George Staunton, and this is, we have no doubt, that whence Forster really brought the plant, not from Tanna. The species comes likewise near to the Irom@a pendula of Mr. Brown's Prodromus of the Flora of New Holland. But independently of difference in the general port of the plants, the present is distinct, in having a foliage without any traces of being ciliate; in having 3-4-flowered peduncles; and by a corolla that is rather salver- (hypocrateriform) than funnel-shaped (infun- — dibuliform). The rough tubercled branches of our plant afford at first sight another distinction. In pendula a woolly pubescence will be found near the base of the petioles, which we did not perceive here. Troma@a tuberculata is a slender twining suffrutescent plant, attaining the height of five or six feet; native of the East Indies, where it grows in the hedges; flowers during the cold season, and is reckoned the most orna- mental’ of its genus. Stem round, with a brownish bark ; branches numerous, tubercled, with here and there a tu- bercle assuming.a spinelike appearance. Leaves smooth, quinate, 2-3 inches in diameter; leaflets oval-lanceolate, obtuse;~with a*small point, outer ones generally shorter and''2-8-cleft, commonly distinct from the rest, and sub-. petioled: petioles shorter than the leaf, minutely tubercled., Peduneles solitary, firm, trichotomously three-flowered, up- right,shorter'than theleaf, bibracteolate. Calyw thick, of a deep” ereen colour, two or three times shorter than’ the cylindrically lengthened faux; outer leaflets rather shorter, cordate::» Corolla about two inches deep, of a pale violet-. purple throughout the tubular portion, of. a faint yellow at the ‘limb ;’ segmients rounded and shallow. Seeds largish, brown, few, woolly at the angles. Last spring a packet of seeds arrived from the East Indies;~sentby Sir Evan Nepean to Messrs. Whitley, - Milne,’ and’ Brame, nurserymen, King’s Road, Parson's _ Greeti; among ‘them were those from which the present plant»was:raised.. These were stated to have been collected in the-botanic garden‘at Calcutta. On the transfer of the species from Convorvurus to Troma, Dr. Roxburgh’s name of digitatus could not be retained, it being already occupied by another. « The section of the lower part of the corolla.

In that of Linnzus, however, a portion of these naturally co-ordinate plants, from having two of the four stamens imperfect, have been excluded from the Class Didynamia, which comprises the bulk of them, and in critical strictness included in Diandria; among these is the present genus. The features which characterize the genera throughout this natural tribe, are, a monope- talous bilabiate corolla, four single-seeded germens con- nected at the base by the style, and fruit which abides within the persistent calyx. Each fruit consists of four (from miscarriage sometimes fewer) dry one-seeded peri- carps, adhering in such manner to the integument of the seed as not to be discriminated from it. Every such peri- carp, with its contents had been till recently deemed a naked seed; but is now included, by Mr. Brown, in the term cariopsis, appropriated by Monsieur Richard to the kind. Punctata is a tolerably hardy perennial plant, native of North America, where it is found, according to Mr. Pursh, in sandy fields, in the tract of country which reaches from New Jersey to Carolina. Its most conspicuous ornament . consists in the pink bractes, which form the involucre beneath each whorl of the inflorescence. The yellow co- rolla, when inspected near, will be found thickly spec- kled with small resinous dots, and variegated, or rather marbled, with pink stains. We do not know the exact height the plant may reach, but have never seen it more than a foot and ahalf high. The bloom smells like that of the common Balm; the foliage more like that of Mint. The teeth of the orifice of the calyx ultimately spread into a small star. The imperfect stamens are filaments without anthers. The anthers of the perfect stamens divide into two vertically divaricate lobes. ‘The style is villose,. with two simple setiform stigmas of very unequal lengths. Cultivated in this country in 1714, by Mr. Thomas Fairchild. eee The drawing was made this summer from plants which flowered in the nursery of Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, at Hammersmith. cf 4 Seem a The calyx. 6 The corolla removed from the calyx shown laterally. c The same dissected vertically, to show the two perfect stamens and pistil, and also the two imperfect filaments. d The pistiJ, with the two unequal stigmas. é Hib ly £ udguway 70 Kecatilhy Fh t.1d6.

No plant presents itself more constantly in our greenhouses than this. The bright lively hue of its evergreen foliage, the fragrance and long succession of the bloom, render it a favourite with all gardeners. When planted in the border of a conservatory it may be trained to the height of 20 feet aud more, and will frequently ripen its berries, which are about the size, form, and colour of a small common black cherry. Our milder winters do not destroy it when planted in a warm border against a southern wall; and so treated it thrives better than in any other situation, An evergreen shrub, - Stem slender, requiring to. be sup- Bava ported; branches, peduncles, and calyx bright green. Leaves ternate, membranous, smooth, with largish cordate acumi- nate petioled leaflets, of a full shining green, like that of the foliage of the Orange-Tree, terminal one from an jnch and half to three inches long. Blossom white, pro- duced from the axils of the outer foliage and ends of the branches, in loose trichotomous brachiately disposed pa- nicles. Calyx tubular, short, minutely 5-toothed. Tube of the corolla slender, longer than the elliptic-lanceolate expanded segments. We have found no coloured representation of this species, altho’ one so long and generally popular with those who- amuse themselves in the flower-garden, It is multiplied by offsets and layers with ease; but is in such general request, that the nurserymen tell you, that, let their stock of its plants be ever so large, they never have one too many.

A genus established under the present name by Dr. Swartz. Its species are numerous, and found in the East Indies, New Holland, and Van Diemen’s Island. The flowers, after some contestation among botanists in regard to their structure, are proved to be gynandrous, with two anthers; but still of a nature that brings them in contact with the Campanulacee, and not with the Orchidee. We know of no representation of the present species taken from the living plant. It was found by Sir Joseph Banks in New South Wales; afterwards by Mr. Brown in Van Diemen’s Island. : Root fibrous, perennial. Leaves radical, ambient, numerous, lanceolate-linear, denticulate. Scape central, a foot or more high, longer than the foliage, leafless, simple, round, about as thick as a straw of grass, -as well as the inflorescence beset throughout with glandular, hairs (something in the way of Drosrra.) Racemes spiked, _ upright, numerous; larger bractes ovate, concave, single; smaller nearer to the germen, double. Cai. superior, per- sistent, bilabiately parted; upper lip trifid, lower bifid. Cor. of a dim pink colour, monadelphous, tubular, by a half-contortion of the tube from facing the lower lip of the calyx, turned to face one side of the insterstice between the two lips: ¢wbe longer than the calyx, orifice beset by 4 small bifid teethlike lobules: ¢imb quinquepartite, irreou-: lar, patent; 4 larger segments obovate, in pairs, one of each pair somewhat smaller; the fifth or dabellum placed in front, separated by a deeper fissure, small, deflected below the divisions of the other four on one side of the interlabial cleft of the calyx, oblong, with two minute as- cendent linear lobules one on each side its base, thickened: and somewhat convex inwards at the disk. Germen obovate, brownish ; column rising from the summit of this, linear, longer than the limb, reclined and bent with a double curve, protruding from the corolla thro’ the gap left by the depres-., sion of the labellum, but upon the slightest excitement beneath the outermost curve, passing with a sudden spring to the opposite side of ‘the flower, hanging over the limb: with the stigma pointing downwards. An endowment apparently given to preserve . the parts intrusted to its. care from being injured by insects, previous to the com- pletion of the purpose for which they have been designed. Anthers two, yellow, incumbent on the plane of the stigma which crowns the shaft of the column, two-lobed, lobes from vertical diverging divaricately. Stigma green, obtuse, entire; at first imperceptible and concealed by the superin- cumbent anthers; upon their disruption developing itself by increase of. bulk, prominence, and supervening pu- bescence. Capsule obovate, bilocular, pubescent, opening vertically: seeds numerous, small, roundish, fixed at the axis of a partition parallel with the valves. Introduced by Mr. P, Good in 1803.

See article 15. The figure of this having been taken from a plant during the winter, the bloom was not expanded to perfection. Hence the corolla has a concave obtuse form and a contracted mien, which do not belong to it in the summer. In that season the bloom is convex, acuminate, and of a much broader appearance; and the new foliage is then more conspicuously pubescent than the old. GAZANIA pavonia. See article 35. The plant spoken of as a hybrid production between the.above species and GAzANIA 7igens, towards the end of the article we have quoted, we find has been figured and described by Willdenow, in his Hortus Berolinensis (p. 97. t. 97), as a distinct species, by the name of Gorventa heterophylla. It may be so; but we are inclined. to think it a mule production. — EE Article 70. line 5. of the english text, For “ Its mode of growth is similar to” read “ In mode of growth itis similar to.” ERRATA. ’ Leaf. line.
