in the fame place ftated that in paniculatum “ the pedicles are

intermixed with fmall round bulbs ;” this obfervation fhould

be expunged, as it applies to oleraceum, between which and

pauniculaium thefe bulbs are one of the chief diftinftions. The

ftamens are longer in paniculatum than in caucafeum. G.

Ginsenc has been a famous remedy among the Chinets

from time immemorial; it is underitood however to be-

found only in Chinefe Tartary, In the year 1709 Father |

Jarroux, a miffionary at Peking, was fent by the Emperor _

of China to. make a map of that country. Whilft engaged in

this bufinefs he fell in with an army of Tartars who were em-

ployed in colleting this highly valued root for the anpers

which gave him an opportunity of defcribing and making

drawing of the plant, and tranfmitting the fame to Paris, ina

letter to. the procurator-general_ of the miffions of India an

China; a tranflation of which was publifhed in the 28th vol.

of the Philofophical Tranfadions. ‘4

Jaxroux fays that the Ginfeng is found between the bi

ninth and forty-feventh degree north | atitude, where there is

along tra&t of mountains covered wit wood, It grows on _

the declivities of the mountains, on the banks of the soap:

and about the roots of trees; but not in the vallies, nor in

open fituations. It is remarkable, that this miffionary fhould

guefs from the fimilarity. of the countries,. that the fame

plant might probably be found in Canada. The Jefuit’s

fufpicion excited Larirzau, a miflionary in that country, to

make fearch for it; and after a time his labour was crowned

with fuccefs. :

The Iroquois Indians, though acquainted with the plant as

a remedy among them, do not appear to have had fuch extra-

vagant ideas of its virtues as:the Chinefe ; but it is {ufficiently

remarkable, that they call it Garext-oguen, a compound word,

fignifying the lower extremities of aman; thus having the

fame fignification and fome fimilarity of found with Ginfeng: it

might be adduced as a corroboration of the notion, that part

of America was originally peopled fram the north of Tartary. -

Since this difcovery, large quantities. of the root of PAN ax

quinguefolia have been colle€ted and {ent to China, where it

has fold at a great price ; but not having undergone the fame

preparation as that colleéted in Tartary, it is lels efteemed by

the Chinefe. Lourxiro even doubts if it be the fame plant;

but the figure and defcription given by Jaxtoux, are fuffi-

cient to afcertain that our plant, a native of the lofty moun-

tains of North-America from Canada to Virginia, is precifely

the fame fpecies as what he faw in Chinefe Tartary; and

confidering the circumflances under which he obtained it, it is

not at all probable that he could be deceived with refpeét to

the genuine Ginfeng.

The fenfible qualities of this root do not promife any

particular efficacy, according to. European ideas; and this

prejudice may perhaps occafion us to under-value it. For

although it can hardly be doubted but that its virtues are

highly over-rated by the Chinefe, yet it does not feem credible |

that any abfolutely inert remedy could for ages, and in diftant

countries, maintain fo high a reputation. The Sium Ninf

cultivated in Japan, appears ta us to have been miftakenly

adopted for the true Ginfeng, being fuppofed to have been

brought from Corea in Chinefe Tartary. It is found, as

Kempfer obferves, to poflefs littlke or none of the virtues

afcribed to. the imported root; what he fays of the value

fet upon the latter, muft be confidered as applicable to the

Ginfeng; Ninfi being only another mode of expretling the

fame word. Its flowers are very fweet fcented. “is

Peter Coriinson received this plant from Penfylvania;

and it flowered and produced ripe fruit in his garden at Peck-

ham, in the year 1746. It was from this fource that Caressy’s

figure was drawn. Communicated by Mr. Fraser, who bronght

planis of it from North-America, on his laft return from

that country. :

In variety (8) of which we have only feen dried {pecimens,

the leaflets are fhorter, more oval, and rounded at the bafe,

It is not improbable that our two varieties may be hereafter

confidered as diffinct fpecies; and for this reafon we have

thou ht it belt to limit the name of ¢rifolia to the latter, to

which alone it is at all applicable; for aon variety (a)

may occafionally produce only four or three aflets, ag in

Enrer’s figure, yet this is evidently from abortion; which

does not appear to be the cafe in (8).

There is no ground whatever for Linn aus’s fufpicion that

this plant might be the male of Panax quinquefolia. No two

' rather lead to the idea of a different genus: the fruit we have

valved: valves burfting firft at the apex, afterwards their fides

fuddenly curl inwards with elafticity, which difperfes the feed.

Seeds three, fhining, lenticular, notched at the bafe, which

notch is filled up with a white.caruncle projecting beyond the

feed and terminating in a ftring, by which the feed is attached

to the bafe of the capfule. This caruncle frequently falls of

in the dried feed. The whole plant is fucculent, mild, and

probably eatable, like purflane.

Profeffor WittpENnow probably had the feeds of his plant

from England; but his fpecimens muft have been very de-

feétive. His inaccurate defcription has, of courfe, led Mr.

BonpxanpD into an error, inducing him to believe the plant,

which he calls cudenfis, was a different fpecies. It is how-

ever undoubtedly the fame; and his figure and defcription

being taken from plants that came up fpontaneoufly every

year in the Botanic Garden at Paris, leads to a fufpicion

that their origin was from the mould that- came with fome

plants from England, and not, as fuppofed, from feeds gathered

in Cuba, by Humsott and Bonriann. If not, it is rather

_ extraordinary that the fame fpecies fhould be native of Nootka-

Sound and the Ifland of Cuba: a plant too, whofe very habit

declares it more likely to be an inhabitant of the arélic than

of the tropical regions.

The CLaytonia perfoliata was difcovered on the north-

weit coaft of America, by Mr. Arcuisatp Mewnziezs, and

introduced by him into the Kew Garden, in the year 1796,

where it has maintained itfelf ever fince, and whence it has

been communicated to moft of the Botanic Gardens in the

kingdom.

Flowers nearly all the fummer; and in a moift foil,. not

too much expofed, will fow itfelf, and the young plants will

come up in the {pring, requiring no other care than to prevent

their being choked by more powerful weeds, or cut off by that

deftruftive inftrument the hoe. Our drawing was taken at

Mr. Sacispury’s Botanic Garden, Brompton, the latter end

of the fummer, when the plants are lefs vigorous than in the

fpring; at which feafon the {cape is much longer, and appears,

as it were, jointed, the flowers growing in bunches at each

joint. The cauline leaves are then for the moft part more

perfeftly connate, and form a nearly orbicular involucrum,

through the centre of which the fcape paffles, —

That

That the prefent plant is the a/pbodeloides of the Hortus

Kewenfis, is proved by the Englifh name of “ glaucous-leaved”

adopted in that work, as well as by the original fpecimen. from

the Kew Gardens, preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium. That

the editors of tbat work have confounded it with the Linnean

afphodeloides, is likewife proved by a {pecimen of that f{pecies

tranfmitted by Jacquin from Vienna, which they have ar-

ranged with the prefent fpecies in the above Herbarium under

the fame name. To Mixuer, by whom they had both been

cultivated, they were well known, and had been diftinguifhed

by him under different {pecific names, after-he had determined

that they were not varieties for reafons which he details at

large in his Jrones, ‘Fhe teayes of our, plant are exceedingly

glaucous, which is not the cafe in the other; they are alfo

much longer, with the edges quite entire; and not toothletted,,

as in that; the flower-ftem in this is alfo much longer (fome-

times three feet high) in proportion to the leaves. than in the

Linnean a/phodeloides ; the raceme is alfo far longer and more

numeroufly flowered; and. the corolla.fmaller and paler.

Throws up fucceffive flower-flems from. April and May to

Auguit and September. _The Linnean-a/phodeloides is figured

by Jacquin in the Hortus Vindebonenfis. Added to what —

we have faid before, there is.alfo a greatprima facie diffimilitude

between the two f{pecies. The feeds of our plant were received

by Mixxer from the Cape of Good Hope, in 1751; probably

the real a/pbodeloides was loft to the Kew, Gardens before the

publication of the Hortus. Kewenfis.

Foruercitya alnifolia is a native of Carolina, where it

was firft difcovered by the late Dr. Garpen of Charleftown,

who named it in honour of Joun Foruerciit, M.D. many

years a celebrated Phyfician in London, and a great pation of

Natural hiftory. He formed an extenfive Botanic garden at

Upton in Effex, where he accumulated plants from cvery

quarter of the globe, and particularly from North-America, a

<t country

country to which he was ever warmly attached. There appear

to be feveral varieties, though perhaps none of them are fufh-

ciently marked to form diflin&t fpecies. The one here figured is

alow fhrub; the younger leaves, when minutely examined, have

a {cattered pubefcence, colleGed in little bunches; in form they

frequently vary between obovate and wedge-fhaped, and with

- ferratures at the upper part more or le{s deep.

Flowers in April and May, frequently, but not always, be-

fore the leaves appear. Quite hardy, Our drawing was made

at Meffrs. Wuircey and Brame’s, Old-Brompton.

Variety 8 acuta, as figured by Jacquin, has ovate fpikes;

leaves a little undulated towards the point, but fcarcely

ferrate. The third variety is the next article. The fourth,

Jevotina, was fhown us feveral years ago, by Mr. Wuit ey,

who obferved that it never produced its bloffoms till Auguft,

long-after the fhrub was clothed with leaves, which are

oblong, {mooth, and when frefh, green on both fides, though

in drying the under {urface grows much paler,

We are not certain that this fhrub ought in reality to be

referred to Arctotis, but it certainly has a near affinity with

fome of the fpecies, at prefent colleéted under that genus,

which feems to have been ufed as a common receptacle for

many Cape fhrubs, of this family, that will not properly unite,

and muft at a future time undergo a new arrangement.

It is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, has an up-

tight fhrubby ftem, covered with a greyifh bark, but the

anches are herbaceous, green, and, as well as the leaves, 4

covered with a glutinous, fhining fub{tance. The leaves are

t€rnate, wider at the upper end, and narrowed downwards, |

feffile, and decurrent a fhort diftance along the branch, rather

ply indented on the fides: each tooth, of which there are

about three pair, has an appendix or toothlet at its bafe, fo

much refle&ted, as not to be feen on the upper furface. The

loffoms are large and the colour of red lead. 7

it from Cape feeds about five years ago. Flowers in April

the appellation of “ The Elephant’s Foot ;” in other refpeéts,

it very much refembles the common black Bryony (Tamus

communis) of our hedges. The ftem, which is about the

thicknefs of the little finger at the bafe and twining, re-

quires fupport, by the help of which we have feen it reach the

height of about eight feet. Found in the neighbourhood of

Cape Town by Mr. Masson, by whom it was introduced into

the Kew Gardens in 1774, where a male plant bloomed in

1783, to which L’Heritrer owed his engraving; an engraving —

that has been repeatedly cited, but as yet never publifhed. —

We do not know that the female plant has ever before flowered

in this country. Both L’Hrritier and the editors of the

Hortus Kewenfis profefs merely to guefs between Tamus

and Smixax for its genus, not being able to afcertain the |

pofition of the germen from the male flower, the only one —

they had feen. The root/fock in our fpecimen was a foot in —

diameter ; the older or lower /eaves were obtufely or rounded-

cordate, the new ones acutely fo, all entire and fmoothy of a

paler green beneath; corol/a of a pale rufty yellow colour,

{centlefs, and fhorter than the petioles. The foliage fhrinks to

half iis fize in drying.

Our drawing was made from a plant that flowered late this

fummer, in Mr. Knicut’s greenhoufe, King’s-Road, which

had been imported fome years back for Mr,Gzorce HipBERTS —

The late Profeffor Vaut, in his Enumeratio Plantarum, |

in which he has recorded no fewer than one hundred and fixty-

feven fpecies of Jufticia, has arranged this under his 5th feétion,

containing thofe that have a fingle calyx, and a nearly equal

corolla. It feems however more properly to belong to his

firft fe€tion, thofe with a double calyx and parallel anthers,

_ We have uniformly found, within the large braéte, a glume-

like two-valved outer calyx, clofely embracing the tube Pe gi

the inner or true calyx, as mentioned by Mr. Ker, in the

fynonym above quoted. In other refpetts, Vauw’s defcription

agrees with our own obferyations.

Perhaps the outer calyx in this and in every other Justicra,

where it occurs, may be more properly confidered as two

fmaller braétes. ‘The ftru€ture is exaétly the fame in Cros-

sANDRA undulefolia of Sarissury, except that in the latter

the two inferior bra€tes are equal in length to the exterior.

Indeed thefe two plants appear to us to have fo near an affinity,

as to throw great difficulty in the way of eftablifhing Cros-

SANDRA as a diftin€&t genus; for the mere circumftance of

two or four anthers does not feem fufhcient to form a generic

diftin€&tion, and on this account Ruellia is not eafily feparable

from Jufticia,

As the {pecific name of pu/chella was applied not only by the

author of the Botamift’s Repofitory, but by his reviewer, who

- reduced it to the genus Jusricra, prior to Vaut’s publica-

tion, and had been fince adopted by Dr. Roxgurcnu, we

think it fhould have been retained by the author of the

Hortus Kewenfis. But as the latter work will probably be

confidered as the ftandard for names of plants cultivated in

this country, we give up our own opinion, rather than run the

rifk of adding to the confufion of the nomenclature.

Native of marfhy places on the coaft of Coromandel.

Requires a bark ftove, where it flowers very nearly the whole

of the year. Introduced into Kew Gardens, by Mr. PeTER

That this fpecies, which is very nearly related to Nym-

PHA odorata (vid. No. 819) is really diftin€t, we are per-

fuaded by the obfervations of Mr. Anperson, Gardener to

James Vere, Efg. of Kenfington-Gore. This intelligent

cultivator finds that the roots afford the moft difcriminative ~

characters in this genus, and at once point out a real difference

between thefe two nearly allied fpecies. In nit:da the root-

ftock is perpendicular and does not feem ever to acquire any

confiderable length, whereas in odorata, this part extends ho-

rizontally along the mud, in the fame manner as in alsa,

Nymeu za nitida feems to require the conftant heat of a ftove

or hot-bed to preferve it alive, whilft odorata is now found to

be quite hardy. We have not been able to learn of what

country mifida is a native, but from the abo € circumftance

it probably belongs to a tropical clime. The flowers are

without feent. We are not yet fatisfied whether the finking

of the veins below the furface of the leaf, which in this inftance

was the cafe on both fides, be a conftant and permanent cha-

rater, or variable according to the age of the leaf or from

footftalks are longer than in ruéra; the leaves larger, of a

bright yellowifh green with dark {pots on the upper furface.

Thefe {pots in ruéra are fearcely vifible, on account of the

darknefs of the whole. On the exterior or enveloping leaflet

of the calyx, in the flower bud, there is generally a Jittle in-

dentation towards the point, which Mr. ANpeRson has not

obferved in rubra; but, as this nearly difappears in weakly

of both is exaétly fimilar, and the roots of both bear a tuber,

Mon botanifts continue to quote GMettn’s plant (v. 2.

P- 64. t. 25.) as a fynonym of this, although Hatrer had

denied that it was the fame, We have the additional authority

of our friend, Dr. Smitu, who poffeffes Gmetin’s own

{pecimen, and ‘affures us that it is totally different,

The

The genus Cutcus appearing to Lamancx to be founded

upon too flight charafters, he has united it to Carpuus, in

which he has been followed by Persoon in his Synopfis,

Woop in the New Cyclopedia; and by Vittars. But in fo

large a genus as CArpuus, there Is a great convenience in

the feparation, even though not founded upon the foundeft j

principles. We therefore retain the Linnean name of Cyicus, i

- without meaning however to'uphold WittpeNow in his ac-

cumulation of heterogeneous fpecies under this name.

Cultivation, as is ufual in fuch cafes, makes fome change in

the habit; inftead of the flowers being crowded togeiher at

the extremity of a fimple ftem, they ftand nearly fingle on fhort

branches, ‘but are each furrounded with beautiful feathery

yellowifh-white braéies. Hatrer defcribes not only the

florets but the anthers as yellow-white [ flo/culi cum vagina

echroleuci |;,in our garden fpecimen the latter were blueifh-

purple, the former as defcribed by Hatuer.

Though a native of the herbaceous regions of the Alps of

fouthern Europe, the plant flourifhes extremely in Kew

Garden, from whence we were favoured, by Mr. Arron, with

the fpecimen from which our drawing was made, in July laft.

Dr. Smite gathered it on littlke Mount Cenis, in an expedi-

tion recorded in the third volume of his Tour on the Con-

tinent, on the agth of Auguft. “ As I look on the fpecimen,”

(be fays in his = ee fubjeét) “all

recurs to my memory.” Everyone muft have occafionally

witneffed a fimilar feeling The author has elegantly expa-

tiated on the fame idea in the fecond volume of his Tour,

where he remarks that “a plant gathered in a celebrated or

delightful pot, is like the hair of a friend, more dear to

memory than even a portrait ; becaufe. it Cnaitas the —

To the Readers of the Botanical Magazine.

As the Boranitcat Macazine certainly owes its repu-

tation, in great meafure, to the excellence of the figures, all

of which, except feventy-five, have been drawn by Mr,

SYDENHAM Epwarps, it affords us pleafure in compliance

with his requeft to publifh the following ftatement, in order to

rectify feveral errors of the letter-engraver, that occur in the

early volumes.

Twenty-four plates have Mr. Sowersy’s name affixed, but

of thefe the following twelve were in reality drawn by Mr

SypenHAaM Epwarps, viz. No. 18, 23, 25, 27, 29, 89, 31,

34> 35> 36, 38, and 43>

Of thofe which bear no draughtfman’s name, the fifty-five

“following were drawn by Mr. Sowersy (the reft by Mr.

Epwarps) viz. No.1, 4,10, 11, 17, 28, 42, 44, 47, 49, 59,

51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 58, 61, 67, 70, 72, 76, 79, 80, 85,

from 87 to tog inclufive, 111, 113, 115, 116, 118, 121.

The laft-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. San-

sum, in the fixth volume, to which his name is affixed} were

executed by Mr. Sypenuam Epwarbs,

We are induced to republifh the above ftatement, not only —

to point out with accuracy, by whom each figure has been

drawn, but likewife becaufe we wifh that the former hand-bill

upon this fubje&, which accompanied No. 1232, in vol. xxx.

fhould be cancelled altogether.

That hand-bill was publifhed in hafte, without refle&ing

that fome expreffions contained in .it might be hurtful to the

feelings of a friend for whom we have ever entertained the

higheft refpe&t and efteem. And Mr. Eowarps is himlelf

convinced that the mifreprefentations there complained of,

and which are effe€tually reétified by the above ftatement, did

Not originate in any enmity towards him, but were occafioned

by an inference, natural enough though contrary to the faa,

that not only all thofe figures which had Mr. Sowersy’s

name affixed to them, were executed by him, but alfo all fuch

as had no name whatever.

Mr. Haworth, by whom we were favoured with the-plants

_ from which the prefent and the following article were drawn,

has given the moft complete account of the genus PortuLaca,

as conftituted by Linn 2us, that we have feen any where. It

is from one of his fe&tions that we have, agreeably to his fug-

_ geftion, framed the genus ANAcAmPsEROS, a name by which

_ Linwnazus originally diftinguifhed one of the fpecies, though

__ heafterwards united it with Portulaca. This he probably would

mot have done had he known that there were feveral other

fs clofely

clofely allied fpecies, all nativés of the fouthern promontory

of Africa. Loeruine has likewife infifled upon the propriety

of keeping Anacampleros diftin&, from Portulaca; but he pro-

bably had in view the American flat-leaved {pecies, which, as

fuggetted by Hawortu, -we would retain under Apanson’s

genus Tarinum, adopied by Jussizu and Witipenow.

The Cape Species appear to us to be as diftiné&t from thefe as

Talinum is from Portulaca, According to Mr. Haworrn,

all the fpecies of Anacampferos have a flender conical feed-

veffel of five or fix valves, which would afford a fufficient

diftin@iion from the three-valved f{pecies of Talinum; but

the capfule of thé very fpecies on which we are now treating,

is defcribed by Dryanpber as three-valved; as is that of

P. Anacampferos Linn. by other authors. Probably the valves

in decaying may fplit in the middle, a circumflance not very

unufual, and which may have impofed upon Mr. Haworrs.

We hope hereafter to take an opportunity of examining the

fru€tification of this genus more carefully.

~This plant was found by the late Mr. Masson at Carro,

beyond Hartequas Kloof. Flowers in Auguft and September.

ftrengthened by the circumftance of Mic aux’s having omitted

in his charaéter of A. Sipbo the very remarkable oval braétes.

‘This beautiful and fingular Heath has a very near affinity

purple, inftead of white; ji/aments not the colour of the an-

more efpecially in that its anthers diverge fo as to make a

radiated termination to the flower, inftead of conniving at the

ceflary to add to the fpecific chara€ter of the latter antheris

Bank/fii is, and of courfe E. monade/pha mutt be, arranged.

much
