A genus founded by Dr. Sotanpsr, in the Hortus Kew-

enfis, on the only fpecies then cultivated amongf us, viz.

ARISTEA cyanea. oe | [Sd |

The prefent fpecies is large and ornamental, with a ftem from

two to four feet high, nearly twice the length of the leaves,

round, fomewhat winged by the alternate decurrent cauline

leaves, upright, fublignefcent. Leaves linear, enfiform,

ftiffifh, finely ftriated without any prominent riblike nerve,

polifhed, dark green. Spathes and involucres membranous, ~

{eariofe, acute. Segments of the corolla obovate, equal.

Produces abundance of feed, of which there are two or three

in each cell, and by which it is eafily propagated, as alfo by

the offsets or fuckers which it throws up, but not in any great -

abundance. Is now pretty common in our gardens. A great

number of very fine plants were raifed two years ago at the

Botanic Garden at Brompton from Cape feeds.

Found by Tuunserc on the hills between Hautemiqua’s-

Land and Langekloof, as likewife (but not plentifully) round .

Cape Town, flowering in our autumnal months. ace

Two {pecies of this genus have already been figured in this

work, viz. cyanea and /piralis, the latter under the generic

name of Mor#a3 butits fpecies, as well as thofe of Dinarris,

“Wacuenporria, and Morza, are far from being’ ‘fo

common in. our gardens as thofe of Ix1a, Graptiotus,

Wartsonia, Trironia, Sparaxis, and Basiana, though

of equally eafy culture, and of at leaft equal if not fuperior

beauty ; we have never yet been able to find the leaft traces of

Wirsenta, their clofe ally, having been introduced into any

European garden, although Cape fpecimens of three or four

of its {pecies are not ftrangers to our herbariums. Our figure

was taken.at the nurfery of Meffrs. Gatmwoop and Wyxgs,

As the Eprpenprum /ecundum of Jacquin hasnotyet been _

feen by us, we cannot clear up the difficulties which have

hitherto attended this fpecies. We are however inclined to

regard the Epip—enpRUM elongatum and fecundum of Jacquin,

and the fu/catum of Smiru, as three diftiné fpecies. Our plant

is undoubtedly the firft of thefe; differing in no refpeé from

Jacquin’s figure, except in the colour of the flower, which

with him is more refembling red-lead. The flowers are not

fecund, the leaves not emarginate nor of a dark purple red as

in fecundum ; and the ferrated ne€tarium feems fufficient to

diftinguith it from both the other {pecies. If the EptpenpRuM

Jecundum defcribed by Sovran ver be not different from either,

we fufpeét that it belongs to this, as does undoubtedly the {pe-

cimen fo named in the Bankfian Herbarium. : est

____In the fele&tion of the effential charafteriftics above enu-

viz. Wacuenvorria thyr/ifora, Thunb. WacuenporFia

paniculata, Thunb. Wacuennorrta hirfuta, Thunb. Wa-

CHENDORFIA brevifolia, Soland. MSS; the WacuwenporFia

tenella and graminea of the former author being entirely un-

known to us except from the fhort and vague fpecific charac- _

ters in his Prodromus. Our prefent.fpecies feems chiefly to —

differ from paniculata in having hairy ‘leaves, a more graci-

lefcent and taller ftem, which is alfo reddifh brown and not

green as in that, its branches more divaricate, the two upper

lateral fegments of its corolla more contiguous, and its flowers

when clofed forma flenderer and more compa& column; we ~

might add, that the incumbent anthers are fhorter and rounder, |

but as this difference efcaped us in the living plant and was

obferved only in the drawings it is lefs to be depended on.

Root leaves oblong Janceolate g3—4 about 3— 4 inches high,

Stem about three times their length, Segments traverfed lon-

gitudinally on the outfide by a brown hairy fillet, outer upper

one wholly brown and pubefcent outwards. Flowers, quite —

fcentlefs, open in fucceflion, clofe towards evening; expand —

in the month of July, We have never obferved the fix —

fiamens mentioned by fome authors and figured in one {pecies —

Breynius, nor the rudiments of any more than the ufual

>. The genus is remarkable in this natural order for its

inferior corolla, and is perhaps one of its conneéting links to

the hexandrous liliaceous plants; in the habit of its leaves it

approaches Basrana, in that of the flower and capfule it

comes nearer to Cranerra. If BurMan’s figure is atten-

tively examined, it will be found to come nearer to this than —

' paniculata ; the lower leaves not being feen nor defcribed it —

is impoffible to be fo certain as we could defire; the plant was —

only- known to Burman by a drawing taken at the Cape,

from which his engraving was made. Introduced amongft us

by Mr. Wixziams, Nurferyman at Turnham-Green, who

received the bulbs three or four years back from the Cape.

As yet a folitary {pecies, nor have we in the many fpeci-

mens we have feen ever obferved it to vary even in colour. ©

Flowers {centlefs, 2—6 on each peduncle-like branchlet, which

Jaft, in the archedly-flexuofe curvatures and one-ranked man- 4

ner of bearing their flowers, refemble the rachis of Ix1a —

Secunda. ee

Found by Tuunsere at the Cape of Good Hope, on —

the Groenekloof hills, and near Bergrivier ; introduced into —

Kew Gardens, by Mr. Masson in 1787. The generic name —

we have derived from pzaas black and coaipx a globe, in allu- —

fion to the colour and form of the bulblets produced on the 3

ftem, as mentioned and figured by Jacquin. In the capillary —

tenuity and elaftic tremuloufnefs of its branchlets it reminds — :

us of the quaking-grafs, Briza.

Our drawing was taken at the Nurfery of Meffrs.. Wrxes

-and Grimwoop, Kenfington. Requires the treatment of the

other Cape Enfatw. Propagates plentifully by feed and bulbss.

but the leaves are apt if kept in a pit to be eafily bitten and

deftroyed by the froft, and though this does not kill the plant

it weakens it very much; to make it produce the bulblets

mentioned by Jacguin, and to have it in perfeétion, we fhould

think the dry ftove would be the beft place to grow it in. G,

In Hourruyn’s Natural Hiftory this fpecies ferves him for

the foundation of a new genus, to which he has given hisown _

_ -‘Rame; his effential charaéter would nearly fuit any genus Pe a

the whole natural order; the’ figure is good and the defcrip-

tion very intelligible. We have retained his trivial name in —

preference to’ Jacquin’s, both on account of :priority and of

its not being taken from colour, which in this natural family

fhould be avoided as -much as poflible, a name without

any meaning being greatly preferable to fuch; yet where Z

we have found them already given we have never changed —

them. It is clofely allied to the Granto.us Jongiflorus of the

Cotrecranea, and the firft variety of the fame of the Icones —

‘Rarrores, differing cliiefly’in the fpathe, which in the laft ©

is blunt and dentate. Our fpecimen has no claim to the title |

of rofeus, though’ the fame bulb may ‘produce one that has

next feafon. This fpecies is alfo clofely allied to TRiroNia

(GiapioLus) lineata, no 487 of this work: 7 :

Above we have quoted bath the Dutch and Contnn sis

tions of Hourruyn’s Natural Hiftory, but-in general our —

quotation refers to the German tranflation only, printed at —

different periods in -Nuremburg and tranflated by different

hands. This very rare plant was introduced amongft us from —

This fpecies comes very near to Strapgtta cefpitofa of

Masson, #. 29, but differs in the fegments of the corolla not

being ciliated, and in the peduncles generally coming in pairs.

_ When the corolla opens, the lacinia are doubled back as

fharply as if pinched, enclofing the fegments of the calyx in

the fold fo completely that the flower appears to have no

« is over thefe expand and clofe

again, as is ufual in the genus, when the calyx comes in

fight. The ne@tary confifts of five tongue-fhaped hollow

bodies, fupported upon fmall pedicles, difpofed in the form of

_ a flar, the five points of which meet at the centre of the flower,

where there appears to be a perforation oppofite the points —

ofthe germen. Between thefe are five round yellow bodies _

divided by a dark line having an anther-like appearance, ys ms

anther, or in the language of Swarrz, the pollen-maffes,

club-fhaped, lying each in a hollow, in which they are con-

fined by. the ne@ary, one ray of which covers aright and left-

hand Jobe of two different anthers. Upon the removal of this

ftar the lobes of the anthers rife up, fometimes fuddenly with

a {pring, fometimes more gradually, and, if touched with the

point of a pin, difcharge a colourlefs fluid. sas

We have been thus particular in defcribing thefe parts,

becaufe being more fimple than in moft of the fpecies it feemed

to throw fome light on their ufes. The five rays of the ftar

pointing exa€tly to the centre of the corolla feem admirably

calculated to direét a fluid pollen more furely to the real

ftigmas lying immediately under their points. We would not —

however fpeak with too much certainty of the perforation of

the centre of the corolla, having ufed only a common lens, and

not having obferved fuch an opening in any other fpecies that

we have examined.

The plant from which our drawing was made was fent us

by Mr. Loppipnces of Hackney, in Auguft. It is a free

blower, flowers coming in fucceflion through moft part of the —

year. Has an ill fmell and little beauty to recommend it. |

from the Rev. Mr. Bate, that many of them thrive better, and

flower with more certainty, if kept in the bark ftove and

into a tree; the bark is covered with a white wool, as is the}

underfide of the leaves, which are peltate and fupported on

long footftalks thickened at both ends. Flower terminal,

fweet-{cented: Calyx very like thick buff leather. Petals

white, oblong, the length of the calyx, widened at the tip,

oblique, inferted into the receptacle. Real ftamens fifteen,

with long twifted anthers ; filaments united at the bafe ; among

thefe are five club-pointed bodies, twice the length and much

ftouter than the filaments, as. thefe are the only internal parts

which come in fight without forcibly opening the flower, this

has the appearance, when fuperficially obferved, of being |

pentandrous; but thefe bodies have no anthers. Has been

fome time known in our colleétions, but we have never heard

of its having flowered in this country until laft September,

as well as from /gualida and miniata it differs in having the

three outer alternate fegments gibbous towards their bafe and

bearing inwards a tawny-black fpot furnifhed with a ridge-

& like excrefcence, and further from the two firft in not

ving any part of its ungues tranfparent or hyaline. Tube

rather fhorter than the fpathe. Limb campanulate; laminz

of the fegments ovate, blunt, patent, inner fegments ftraighter s

organs of fruttification inclined-affurgent, nearly equal, much

ne fhorter than limb. From many well-preferved indigenous

~ fpecimens we find it is but little altered by culture in our

gardens. The tunic of the bulb is darker than in crocata.

This fpecies was firft defined by Dr. Sovanper in Hort. Kew.

where we learn that it was introduced by Mr.Masson.

It is of eafy culture, propagates rapidly both by feed and

. offsets, quite fcentlefs but very ornamental. Our fpecimen

was furnifhed by Meffrs. Grtmwoop and Wyxes, who have

frequently imported it both from the Cape and Holland. —

The term fenefirata, ufed by Tuunserc in the quotation

above cited, is not meant to denote a tranfparent or hyaline

quality, but merely that the fpot has the appearance of a

blank window or outlet; but in Jacgurn, tranfparency is

intended to be expreffed by that term. Since publifhing the

arucle Trironia /qialida (fupra 581) we have feen the

Fracmenta of Jacquin, in which we find the fpike of

that {fpecies admirably delineated in the g4th’plate, fig. 2, and

defcribed in Jetter-prefs. p. 28. n.g6. under the title of a

Although Linnzus has given it the fpecific name of —

flexuofa, yet in his defeription he fays it is “a flore ad florem

“ parum flexus.” This now vague and inappropriate name —

moft probably led Tuunsere to fufpea it to be a variety —

of his “ fecunda,” which is truly flexuofe. The plant defcribed

and figured as a variety of this by Mr. Curris, N° 127 of

this work, has partly its habit and partly that of Ix1a _

conica, and is fo equally claimed by both, that we have named

it “ bybrida ;” it has the flat hypocrateriform ftained bafe of

conica, and the polyftachious ftem, white corolla, and fragrance _

of this, but does not expand fo freely as it, nor fo fhyly as —

conica, and the leaves are rather more glaucous than in either

of thefe. Cultivated by Mirrer in 1757. Propagates freely. _

In bulb Ixia flexuofa, hybrida, patens, and conica, agree to- —

gether, but differ from Ix1a erefa and maculata. ‘All out

upper middle fegment narrower than its fide ones refembling in

ape the loweft ; fegments in general linear-oblong, equal in

length, patent upwards, two upper lateral ones rather the broadeft;

from its fpathe is quite white, but gradually changes to the colour

exhibited in the plate; which chara€teriftic is noticed by Mitt eR

_ In his general, though he calls it white in his {pecific defcription,

Clofely allied to Grapio.us undulatus and floribundus. Its tube

_ This very beautiful fhrub is, according to PaLias, pecu-

liar to the fubalpine traéts of eaftern Afia, occurring chiefly

in the northern parts of Siberia between the Jenifea and Lena

-Tivers, where the northern fides of the mountains in the be-

ginning of May are entirely empurpled by it. It muft of

courfe be confidered as a very hardy plant, though like many

other inhabitants of the coldeft regions, when cultivated in

this country, from the greater mildnefs of our-winters it is apt

to expand its flowers prematurely, which are ufually deftroyed

by fubfequent frofts and cold winds. On this account it is better,

as foon as the bloffoms begin to appear, to remove the plant

under fhelter, where it will prove exceedingly ornamental in

the very depth of winter; but fhould the froft begin early and _

Continue fo long as to retard the opening of the bloffoms till

its natural feafon, it might bé faffered to continue in the open

border. “

Azauza lapponica, which comes much nearer to Ruo-

has properly. correéted. The leaves, which are dotted on both |

fides, continue all the Winter on the plant in Siberia and, as

in our fpecimen, change to a brown colour; it fometimes

however happens with: us that all. ef them fall off before the

appearance of the flowers. The leaves and more efpecially

the bark have a ftrong aromatic tafte and fmell, and the fcales

of the flower-buds diffafe this odour fome diftance ; but, when

feparated from thefe, the flowers themfelves appear to us to —

The Minorca Honey-Suckle belongs to the divifion of Peri-

~ ¢lymenum, and approaches very near to Lonicera Caprifolium,

differing principally in having fmall evergreen leaves, which

on the lower part of the plant are narrower with ftraight fides 5 _

branches intricately interwoven; whorls containing fewer

flowers; tube of the corolla ftraighter and fegments of the limb

fhorter in proportion. The flowers are pale coloured, ftreaked

with red, white within when firft expanded, but changing to

yellow as in the common Woodbine.

If lefs fhewy than fome other fpecies, it certainly yields to

none in fragrance, and bloffoms abundantly from Midfummer

to Michaelmas.

Is hardy, but thrives beft in a fheltered fituation. At the

Dowager Lady De Crirrorn’s, from whofe very curious

_ Colleétion of exotics, at Paddington, our drawing was taken

in July 1801, it flourifhed with great vigour in the open air, _

in front of the confervatory. | es

This beautiful ever-green fhrub is a native of Gibraltar, the

Levant, and of Georgia, particularly on the fouthern fide of

Mount Caucafus, growing-in the rocky moift woods of beech

and alder, and fometimes acquiring the height of eight or nine

feet. As Parxias had no opportunity of procuring a living

fpecimen in bloffom from Caucafus, his figure was taken from

the Gibraltar variety, familiar as he fays to the Englifh gardens ;

and he doubts if this be the fame f{pecies with that defcribed by

Tournerort; becaufe he fays it wants the fpots on the

broader fegment of the flower. Whether we were. really |

firft fupplied with this plant from Gibraltar, and the one here

figured, now become fo extremely common, has been fince

-raifed from feeds imported from Afia, we:know not: but our

plant certainly agrees in every refpeét with the defcription of |

Touxrnerort, and-differs from that of Paras, not only in

having the broadeft lacinia of the corolla {potted with orange

colour, but alfo in having all the laciniz obtufe, -which are

both figured and defcribed by him as acute.

_ Tournsrort fuppofed that the narcotic deleterious honey

familiar to the inhabitants of Georgia and known to the an-

cients, being particularly mentioned both by Droscoripes

and Piiny, owed its origin to the flowers of the RuopopEN-

DRON powticum; but later travellers have, with more proba-

bility, attributed this quality to the honey gathered from the

flowers of Azatea pontica, fee No. 443 of this work.

A middling-fized Rhododendron; which had been fomewhat

forced, flanding in a very light airy bow-window facing the

North, produced a large drop of very pellucid ne€tar at the

loves a moift foil and fhady fituation ; béars forcing remarkably

brought to the London markets, to ornament our houfes in

the Spring. Introduced about the year 1763.. May be pro-

having large trees, but can be eafily raifed from feed, and fuch.

_ plants are much the handfomeit, and will flower in three or

and figured in the Hortus Malabaricus, has five ftamens with

purplifh anthers, and the internal fringe of the corolla is yellow,

not white as defcribed by Ruzepe, and alfo by Stoans,

Rumr, and Sir WitttaM Jones in the Afiatic Refearches.

The Siberian Campanula appears to be a very common

plant both in Siberia and the mountainous parts of Auftria.

Is to be confidered as a hardy biennial, for although it may

continue for two or three years without flowering, the plant

always perifhes after ripening its feeds. |

Propagated by feeds. Flowers in June, July, and Auguft.

Varies in the breadth and crifpature of the leaves and in the

fize of the corolla, as alfo, according to Gmetrn, with white —

and very pale blue flowers. === - sae

Our plant was raifed from Siberian feeds by Mr. Loppipers

of Hackney, but according to Hort. Kew. was firft introduced

by Dr. Witiram Pitcairn in 1783, who had a very fine

botanical garden at Ilington, oe

with a one-flowered long peduncle, both together refembling a

one-jointed culm, the latter obtufely trigonal upwards, far

‘fheathed by a leaf-like, convolute, upright bratte. Petals

joined in a fagittated fhaft with three linear, decurrent,

_ In the Hortus Kewenfis, this tree is placed in the clafs

Polyandria; and both Profeflor Martyn and Swartz agree,

that it rather belongs to this clafs than to that of Monadelphia,

in which W1LtpeNnow has néverthelefs rétained it, and in our

_ Opinion very properly, as it is there in company with Sru.artia

and Camexura, with which, particularly the former, it appears

to have a natural affinity. According to the conceptions of —

different obfervers, the filaments may be faid to be united at

their bafe into a flefhy annular body, orthis ring may be re-

garded as an elevation of the receptacle to which the filaments

are attached, or as a neCtary, or a-gland, but as it differs fo

little in its fubftance from the filaments themfelves, except in

being more fucculent, it may be fairly confidered to be formed

_ by the coalefcence of thefe. The ‘calyx, confifting of five

From the very barren information we have received cons

cerning this plant, we can only learn, that it grows in the

neighbourhood of, Port-Jackfon, and that the fettlers have

already found out how to apply it to the purpofes of Tobacco,

It flowered in Kew Garden lait year. era

Our drawing was taken at the Botanic Garden, Brompton,

in May laft, where it was kept in the ftove, and in this fitua-

tion it continued flowering in July, and had ripe feeds and —

flowers at the fame time.

Is eafily propagated by feeds, which fhould be fown on a

hot-bed. << :

In the fecond number of ‘the Jardin de Malmaifon, pointed

out to us fince the above was prepared for the prefs, by our

friend Mr. Kénic, there is.a very excellent figure of this

plant, from whence we have adopted the fpecific name, al-

though not very appropriate, the leaves being a very 4ittle

undulate at the bafe only. The capfule is there faid to be

two-celled; to us, both in the germen and the ripe feed-veflel,

it appears to be one-celled, and in this refpeé different from _

its congeners. The cauline leaves in the feveral {pecimens that —

_we have feen are confined to the lower part of the ftem andare —

not properly petiolated ; but as they are narrowed towards the —

~ bafe, fome may choofe to confider. the narrow part as the —

_foot-fialk with the leaf decurrent down it. Is. faid.to have -

fome relation to Nicotiana plumbaginifolia of M. DinzGR0," —

The defcription by Retz is very accurate, but as ours

was made before we had feen his, we have thought proper to —

infert it. From acomparifon of the two, there can remain

no doubt that this is really the Stpene ve/pertina of the above .

author, although fuppofed by Desrontainrs to have been

an undefcribed {pecies, and accordingly renamed by him. ,

It is a lively annual, fit for the decoration of the border, of

eafy culture, but not of any great beauty, and fhould be fown-

in patches in the Spring, where the plants are intended to re-

main. |

Retz has not informed us of its native. country, but we

learn from Desronratngs, that it grows in the corn fields

about Sbiba in Morocco.

_ We regret that the pure yellow variety of this Species had

hot been reprefented in our plate rather than the prefent, in

which a mixture of blue and violet appears, efpecially as that

is the one figured and defcribed in Ciusius, by whofe cuts

it is, as well as In1s Xiphium and xipbioides, excellently charac-

terized; . our.plant is however SoLaANDER'S IRIs Jordida.

From Iars Xipbium, the clofeft relative, it differs in having the

germen almoft completely ¢

nclofed within the involucre; in

‘the outer fegments being turbinately recuryed, not rotately or

ho izontally fo, and ii . their being rather longer than the inner —

Ones; in having its. outer ungues all the way broader, than ae

the ftigmas, and in thefe having the keel or ridge far more

elevated and enlarged where continued into the lamina; the

inner fegments are alfo linear-lanceolate, ereét, incurvedly

fubconnivent, flattifh, refle€led at their fides, undulate, emar-

ginate, not turbinately divergent, oblanceolate and convolute

as in that; nor does the inner lip of the ftigmas reach beyond

the middle of the lamina, which is recurvedly defle&ted, whereas

in that it is equal in length to about three parts of the lamina.

The flowers are fcentlefs, expanding in June. Agrees in

habit and in every thing, except in what is above mentioned,

with In1s Xiphium. :

Found by Crusius in rich fpots, as well as on rocky hills,

near the Tagus above Lifbon.

Quer, in his Flora E/pagnol, makes Ir1s alata of LamaRCcK’

(his Xiphion J, and the Iris bulbofa latifolia, five I. of Crvu-

stus) a variety of Ix1s Xipbium ; though to al] appearances

no two fpecies can be well more diftin& ; the firft, with Iris

(nobis Mora) Si/yrinchium, we were anxious to havé laid before

the public, as fpecies fo well known to all the older Botanifts

and Gardeners, but which feem now entirely loft to our col-

le€tions, for upon ‘repeated fearches and inquiries we can no

where hear of their now being in this country ; PARKINSON

remarks the difficulty of preferving the former (not enume-

rated in Hort, Kew. though the latter is) and attributes it to

tendernefs ; which moft probably has been the caufe of the

lofs of both. The firft is a native of Andalufia, growing

in the woods on the Guadiana near Antequera and Cordova,

and called by the Spaniards Lirto EspapaGNAL or AZUL;

the other is found near Lifbon, where the roots are faid to be

eaten under the name of Nozeruas; a leffer plant, fup- —

_ pofed to be a variety of the laft, is found in Valencia.

If, notwithftanding the information we have received, they

fhould flill exift in the colleGion of any friend to our attempts.

to illuftrate this order of plants, we fhould be highly obliged

by the opportunity being afforded us of defcribing and figuring

them. Both were lately and perhaps ftill are cultivated in the

Botanic Garden at Paris. G. 7

in the error, and that the prefent plant was the Linnean /am-

Jacguin’s plant by the excellent figure of Curtis and the

to let it remain; adopting Lamarcx’s for the prefent fpecies,

and expunging -~/gualens, as being a mere variety of the

now /umbucina ; although in truth the names of Linnazus

were ftill better adapted to the plants he had defiined them for.
