A New-Holland genus, established by Mr. Rozert Brown,

belonging to his natural order of myoporine. It has, he

observes, the nearest affinity with Borria, which differs in ~

having the upper-lip of the corolla emarginate, a trifid lower-

lip, and a two-lobed stigma. Srenocuitus glaber has the

upper-lip divided into four longish teeth, the under-lip narrow,

reflexed, and quite entire. Stamens and siyle longer than

sthe corolla and cernuous. This very rare shrub was com~-

municated by Mr. Witiiam Kent, of Clapton, in June last. —

cation in the Magazine, considered by Mr. Ker as mere varie-

ties; the first of them was afterwards (vide No. 117] and 1253)

separated by him into a distinct species, under the name of

gigantea. In the Journal of Science and the Arts (vol. 2.

p. 367 and 368) the same Botanist has acknowledged that zey-

lanica and ornata are certainly distinct species ; and that,

perhaps, they ought to be still farther divided. Cultivators in

general are decidedly of opinion that all four are quite distinct ;

and we have been repeatedly urged by our intelligent

correspondent, the Hon: Wixi1Am Hergerrt, of Spofforth, to

separate them under distinct names, which, with respect to those |

already published, we have endeavoured to do in the Enumera-

tion. Mr. Wooprorp, late of Belfont-House, Vauxhall; ina

letter from Lisbon, has likewise pointed out the specific dif-

ferences which exist between all the four; and Mr. Ker, -

in his review of the genus Amaryllis, above quoted, has ac-

knowledged the distinction, and separated all of them except

his ornata,«. No. 1253.

All the above species, together with longifolia and revoluta,

Mr. Hernert thinks should be united to Crinum ; he observes,

that they produce the same rugose, irregular, green seeds,

and will freely breed with the Crinums ; but not with the

Amaryllises that have flat, shining, black seeds. weet

Orcuis longicornis is very closely allied to our Orcuis

Morio, from which it differs chiefly in the greater length of —

the spur, which exceeds that of the germen, and in the deep ©

colour of the side lobes of the Jabellum. The species was

first noticed by M. Porrer, and published in his Voyage en

Barbarie, under the name of Orchis longicornu ; it should

have been longicornis ; but the faulty termination has been _

continued by every author who has mentioned it since, oe

: ee

Sir J. f Smiru, in his Pesaran Flore Grace, who fias

elsewhere properly remarked, that there can be no good

reason for following an-error, _.

The roots of this plant were sent, at the samé time with

Orchis acuminata, No. 1932, and Ophrys tenthredinifer a;

No. 1930, from Sicily, by Wixtiam Swainsoy, Esq. Fellow

of the Linnean Society, to our friend the President, who

committed them to the eare of Mr.°Wintiam AnpERson,

Curator of the Apothecaries Garden at Chelsea. They were

treated as directed in the Introduction to Botany (page 110)

and came over in the greatest perfection. We quote the

paragraph for the sake ‘of those. who wish to cultivate this

very curious tribe of plants. “Such of the Orchis tribe as

have biennial bulbs, are supposed to be very difficult of cul-

tivation; but according to the experience of my excellent

friend, the late Mr. Crowe, in whose garden I have.seen

them many successive years, they are best removed when im

full flower, the earth being cleared completely away from, the

roots, which are then to be replanted in their natural soil,

previously dried and sifted. Afterwards they must be well

watered. The bulb for the following year has not at the

flowering period begun to throw out its fibres ; for after that

happens it will not bear removal.”

This genus was first established by Borruaave, in his

Catalogue of the Leyden Garden, in honour of Oureer

Civyt, Professor of Botany in the University of Leyden.

According to the fashion of the day, his name was latinized

to Aucrrius Crutiws, whence the genus was called by Borr-

HAAVE, CLuTIA; and was so continued by Linnazus and —

others. We. believe the late Mr. Dryanper, in ArtTon’s

Hortus Kewensis, was the first to write the name Cruyris,

which is not only conformable to the rule recommended, of

spelling the name of the genus, as near to that of its proto-

type,

type, as the genius of the Latin language will permit, bit

serves the useful purpose of distinguishing it from Cxusia;

with which. it was otherwise liable to be confounded ; and, in

conformity with the latter intention, it should be pronounced

Clytia. |

= ‘pulchella makes a pretty little shrub, from its form

and sea-green foliage, though its flowers, which are small and

white, are not shewy. ‘They generally come singly from the

axils of the leaves, and though four or five may spring in suc-

cession from the same axil; yet, as they are rarely seen at the

same time, the term of “ floribus subquinis,” added by

Wiuxpenow to the specific character, only tends to mislead.

Our figure represents a female plant. Mizier remarks,

that he raised a number from seeds, which proved to be all.

female ; and this sex seems to be still much the most common.

At No. 887 of this work we gave an account of this

species, as distinguished from AtTRaGENE austriaca and

_ americana, figures of both of which we have before eas :

The Arracene sitbirica flowers in February or March,

three or four weeks earlier than austriaca, and on this

account the seeds are frequently cut off by our spring-frosts,

and, consequently, no flowers are produced ; and this hap-

pens sometimes two or three years following. The leaves

of sibirica are paler and more deeply notched than in aus-

triaca. But however like these plants are in many parti-

culars, the emarginate nectaries or four internal petals of —

sibirica will always distinguish this species. We have seen

at Mr. Loppiees a blue-flowered variety raised from Siberian

seeds ; but in this also the nectarium was the same as in the

white, and sufficiently distinguished it from austriaca. id

three

three above-named species are now established by the adop-

tion of our characters in the Hortus Kewensis ; and, perhaps,.

these three are the only known genuine species of the genus ;

capensis (No. 716) and zeylanica being totally different in

habit, and ochotensis of Pauias unknown, but from one dried

Pauuas, with preceding authors, considered the external

series of petal-like filaments as imternal petals ; but has parti-

cularly described and figured four larger than the rest,

spathula-shaped and'‘emarginate: these are our nectaria, or -

iternal petals ; the rest are all dilated filaments, and have

more or less of the rudiments of anthers,at their tips.

A hardy climbing shrub. Native of Siberia, where it.grows

im. the mountainous ' districts nearly as far as the Eastern-—

Ocean, covering the shrubs, or underwood, in the same:

The Macenotia grandiflora in South-Carolina and Florida,

Where it is indigenous, must be esteemed to be one of the —

finest trees in the world; growing, with a straight trunk, twe

feet in diameter, to upwards of seventy feet high, and forming

a regular head; it bears a profusion of flowers, which per-

fume the air far around with a most agreeable scent: and in

the autumn, the fruit, a kind of cone containing scarlet seeds, —

which drop from their cells and remain suspended by a thread,

is scarcely less attractive. _

All the above-mentioned varieties are to be met with in

our Nurseries, and grow in the garden of our friend Joun

Watker, Esq. at Arno’s-Grove, Southgate, who communi-

cated the specimen from which our drawing was taken.

‘This variety, the lanceolata of Hortus Kewensis, is gene-

rally known among the Nurserymen by the name of the

Exmouth Magnolia, so called from a fine one mentioned by

Miter, as growing in the garden of Sir Jonn Coxuiron ;.

which we suppose was the original stock from whence most

of our trees of this kind have been produced. It has the

advantage of flowering much more freely than the first-

mentioned variety and of being more hardy. There was a

remarkable fine tree of this sort which grew against the

house of Mr. Wuirtey, when his Nursery was at Brompton,

‘which, in some seasons produced abundance of flowers, the

finest that we ever saw, some of them being not much short

‘of a foot in diameter. : ne

‘There is, a variety nearly allied to this, not mentioned in

the Hortus Kewensis, but which we have inserted by the

name of ferruginea ; it bears smaller leaves, more obtusely

pointed, and much more rusty on the under side.

cept in the thinner substance and less shining surface of the

leaves, and in the greater length of the bractes. For although

| . in

-{n some of the specimens of axillaris the form of the leaves is

more oval and more shortly acuminate, yet there are so

many intermediate varieties of both, that little dependence

can be placed on this character. ‘The: figure iu Caressy’s

the stamens are by no means confined to the number nine,

but seem to vary from six to twelve. The lacinie of the

corolla (calyx of Jussieu) are constantly six, perhaps, there-

fore, the number twelve may be the most natural for the

stamens, though most generally reduced below that number

by abortion. : |

Our drawing was taken from a living specimen, obligingly

communicated by our friend Aytmer Bourke Lampert, Esq.

from his garden at Boyton, in May last. We have since

seen specimens from the same collection, containing five

blossoms, open at the same time in one spike. The flowers

are of a white colour within and greenish without : Micnaux

describes them as being a yellowish brown, but his descrip-

tion was probably taken from the dried plant.

Pxrea belongs to the natural order of Juncea, and is said

_ by Micuavx to have a near affinity with Narruecium ; but

This is a very pretty little shrub, bearing a profusion of

flowers in May, June, and July. It has been generally

called Daviesta corymbosa in our nurseries, and is recorded

as such in Donn’s Catalogue, being mistaken for the species .

_ $0 named by Sir James Epwarp Situ, in the 9th volume

: has been since corrected by Mr. Brown, in the third volume

t _ of the Hortus Kewensis, published in 1811, where our plant

: 1s recorded under the name of mimosoides. Established by

; such an authority, this appellation ought not to have been

\ again changed, and more especially in an English work. But

the same has been lately published in the Botanical ean iio

where it is called glauca, a name which we have not found it.

recorded by, except in Loppiees’ Catalogue for the year 1816.

In Mr. Brown’s character, the peduncles are said to grow

from the axils of the leaves, either in pairs or singly. In

cultivation, we never recollect seeing them otherwise than

solitary. :

The DaviesrA mimosoides is a native of New South-

Wales, where it was observed by Rosert Brown, Esq. and

introduced into the Kew-Gardens by Mr. Tuomas Gries,

in 1809. But we learn, from the Botanical Cabinet, that it

was raised from seeds by Messrs. Loppices and Sons, about

the year 1805. These excellent cultivators have not found it

easy to propagate it by cuttings, and they tell us it thrives

best in a soil composed of loam and peat. It requires the

protection of a greenhouse or conservatory; in the border of

the latter it is seen to the greatest advantage.

Linnavs,

Linnaus, Hatter, and some other authors quote the

Leontopodium, sive Pes Leonis, of Losex (Icon 484, f. 1.)

as variety 8 of this species ; but it does not appear that there

is any authority whatever for the existence of such a plant,

except the above-mentioned figure, which is suspected by

Joun Bauuin, Ray, and Hatter himself, to have been

very faultily represented by Logex’s draughtsman, and after-

wards copied by Tapern&zmontanus, GerArp, and Parxin-

son ; we have, therefore, omitted it altogether.

VaILLAnT first separated the Fitaco acaulis of Linnzus

from the other Gnaphalia, chiefly on account of the seeds

being altogether destitute of a pappus, and Linnaus added

several other species.to the genus; but it has been since

found, that the seeds of all the others are crowned witha

pappus, or at least that a part of them is so crowned; for

Sir James Smitu has observed, that some of the exterior

seeds are destitute of pappus, in several species. The pre-

gence or absence of pappus being thus found too uncertain a

character, botanists have now generally agreed to arrange

these plants under Gnaphalium, in a distinct section, called

Filaginoidea, a section framed by Lixnzus, even while he

retained the genus Filago. : :

_ This remarkable plant is a native of the Swiss, Pyrenean,

and Austrian Alps. Ray gathered it on one of the highest

peaks of Mount Jura.

_ It is rare, and, like many other alpine plants, difficult to

cultivate: for these natives of very elevated regions will seldom

bear being kept in a confined air. In their natural situation

they are protected from frost by a deep covering of snow;

perhaps, this might be successfully imitated, by covering —

them, as soon as the winter sets in, with saw-dust, to the

thickness of twelve or eighteen inches, piled up in a steep

ridge to throw off the rain. Care should at the same time

be taken that no wet stagnate about their roots... The most —

suitable soil for most alpine plants is a very sandy peat.

Gwnapuatium Leontopodium is an herbaceous perennial. ’

— Mr. Brown, in an Appendix to the Voyage of Captain

_ Puinpers, has remarked, that the name of the natural order, ~

called by Jusstev Huphorbie, should not have been taken from >

this genus, which is so little calculated to afford a correct idea

of its structure, that authors are still at variance in the names —

and functions they assign to several parts of the ‘flower.

Jussieu, in his Genera Plantarum, had .made it a question,

whether each of the stamens, as. being jointed, surrounded

by pale, and shooting up at different periods, might not be

considered as so many monandrous, male flowers, collected

around one female, in a common calyx or involucrum. So

considered, he observes, that the flower of Euphorbia would be

compound, and the genus monoicous; and thus more con-

§tuous with the rest of the family, from which it otherwise

differs

te. A

differs so much, as, perhaps, to render it a distinct order, to

be hereafter divided into several genera, according to the

number and form of the organs. ‘l‘his hint does not seem to

have been pursued by any of his followers, as appears by the

account given of Euphorbia, by Lamarck (Hncycl. Bot. 413.)

Ventrenat (Tableau 3. p. 487.) Ricnarp (in Mich. Fl.

Bor.-Am.2 p. 209.) and Decannouts (Fl. Franc. 3. p. 329.)

but has been improved upon by Mr. Brown, who considers

the part above the joint as the only true filament, and the part

below as the peduncle. Of course, as the joint is quite naked, '

the flower, in this view, must be altogether destitute of peri-

anthium ; the filiform scales, by some authors considered as

such, being on this supposition analagus to bracteee. If this

view of the structure be correct, Mr. Brown observes, that

the true filament or part above the joint, should, as in other

plants, be produced subsequent to the formation of the anther,

and accordingly he finds, in every species that he has examined,

that the anther is at first sessile, upon the part below the

joint or the peduncle. The different surfaces of the parts above

and below the joint in some species confirm the above view ;

but it may be said to be absolutely proved, not only by an |

unpublished genus of the same natural order, mentioned in

the appendix above quoted, but still more directly by certain

. species of Euphorbia itself, especially by one in the Banksian

Herbarium, a native of Patagonia, in which the female flower

is furnished with a manifest calyx, the footstalk of the ovarium

terminating in three distinct and equal lobes of considerable

length, and which, being regularly opposite to the cells of

the capsule, may be compared to the three outer foliola of the

perianthium of Phyllanthus, between which and the cells of

- the capsule the same relation exists. Vide Trans. Linn. Soc.

This plant varies with leaves more or less pubescent, which

are in some instances alternate, in others opposite below and

alternate upwards, in others again completely opposite the

whole length and the peduncles also, as in Jacquin’s figure,

above quoted. Linnavs, who had not then seen the last-

mentioned figure, observes, that the leaves of his plant were

Opposite, but in those of former authors alternate. This

disposition to vary, particularly in the degree of pubescence,

ds us to doubt if the Cetsia viscosa of Roru, and Wi11-

DENOw in his Enumeration of the Plants of the Berlin Garden, -

not a mere variety of Arcturus. —

The first notice we have of this plant, occurs in a letter

of Honorivs Bextvus, a Physician at Cydonia in the island

of Candia, to Ciusrus, published in the second volume of

‘his Historia Plantarum. It was again described and figured

by Prosper Atpinus, as a native of the same island; and -

afterwards by Fasrs CoLumna, whose representation is

excellent and evidently, like ours, of a very pubescent variety, -

with alternate leaves and peduncles.

Linnezus, with the older Botanists, at first considered this

plant as a species of Verpascum ; nor do we find that it pos-

sesses one generic character, different from that genus, if we

except the want of the fifth stamen. ;

A tolerably hardy annual or biennial. Flowers from June

to August. - .

Communicated by Messrs. Cuanpter and Bucxrnenam,

of Vauxhall, who observed that it came up with three dif-

ferent parcels of seeds from New South-Wales. It is, however,

more probable that it was latent in the soil than in the seed

sown, : paced

The wood of the Lonicera cerulea is said by Pattas to

for the purpose of dyeing. o“<

This shrub varies in the form of its leaves and berries ;

both of which are sometimes rounder, at others more oblong :

Paxtas figured the latter variety and engraved the name of

L. altaica on the plate, but in his description acknow-

ledges it to be only a variety; and in the same piace has

corrected an error he had made in his Travels, in calling it

pyrenaica. Several species -of Lonicera bear their flowers

two together with the berries more or jess united ; but in

cerulea, the two distinct corollas produce between them a

single uniformly rounded berry.

_ The Pistacia Lentiscus, of which our figure represents a

male plant, is a native of the South of Europe and the Levant.

ESFONTAINES says that it is very common in Barbary, both

wild and cultivated, but he observes that it produces no

astick, though the wood gives out an aromatic scent in

burning. Both there and in Spain an oil is extracted a

the berries, which is used for eating as well as burning in

Jamps. ;

It is pretty certain that the tree produces little or no

Mastick except in the island of Chio, where it is an important

article of cultivation; whence some botanists have doubted

whether the Chio tree be not a different species from that of ,

the European and African Continents ; it seems however to be

generally allowed that there is no specific difference between

them.

With us it makes a handsome greenhouse shrub and has

been cultivated as such for a century and half, being men-

tioned in Evetyn’s Calendar, published in 1664. It does not

very frequently produce flowers in this country, or at least

not till it has acquired the growth of several years.

This is undoubtedly by far the most splendid species of

Canna that is yet known. The only account we have of it

Is in the Flora Peruviana of Ruiz and Pavon ; where it is

described, but no figure given. It is a tall plant, with foliage

large and beautiful; flowers pendulous, in long and generally

double racemes; tube of the corolla three times longer than

the calyx ; three external laciniz# narrow, convolute ; three

mternal ones large, spreading, emarginate of a fine crimson

colour ; the petal-formed filament is extended considerably

beyond the anther and rolls up from the apex downwards ;

the nectarium or fourth internal lacinia is of the same colour

as the other three, rather larger and bifid. ss,

Native of Peru, or at least is cultivated in the gardens of the

eruvian town Pillao, where it flowers from May to oe

For an opportunity of adorning our magazine with this

splendid acquisition, we are ‘indebted to our friend AyLMER

Bourke Lampert, Esq. in whose stove it flowered in Decem-

ber last. It was raised from seeds under rather peculiar

‘circumstances ; for having received in the year 1816, from

the celebrated Don Jos. Pavon, several hundred sorts of

seeds and fruits collected in his travels through Peru and

Chili, Mr. Lamperr determined, notwithstanding the great

length of time they had been collected, to try to raise such as

he thought most likely to retain their vegetating property.

Out of these he was fortunate in raising eighteen species,

which are now growing in his hot-house at Boyton; amongst

these are the Canna zrediflora and Cesalpinia Tara. Fl.

bractes are itideed ciliated, but not so the older ones, nor can,

they in any case be well said to be hispid. Our plant too —

agrees with Hrs. fruticosa in the Banksian Herbarium, and

the only circumstance, that would lead us to doubt of its

really belonging to that species, is, that Tuunserc has quoted

the Erantuemum parviflorum of Beraius as a synonym of his

the character of straight (reciis) and omitted that of the back)

of the leaves being decurrent; but this last character was

restored in all his later publications. In our plant the leaves

are hardly ever straight, but more or less recurved and

Plants in a cultivated state frequently lose more or less of

their pubescence ;.so in the present instance while the stem

remained hispid, the leaves and the calyxes shewed very little

hairiness, the former were rough on the under surface, but

not hairy ; the latter smooth, except towards the inner points

of the segments, unevenly serrulate: serratures glandular and

red-coloured. Flowers in a close panicle, white. M. Mar-

SCHALL von BresersTEIn remarks, that the flowers are white

or of a very dilute blue colour : this excellent botanist collected

it in the pastures about Wladi-Kawkas castle, in the mount

Kaischaur, one of the Caucasean alps, and first described

the species.

A hardy perennial, of considerable beauty. It belongs to

that section of the genus Campanula, in which the border of

the calyx is divided into five segments, as = ee

from such as have the calyx. divided into ten segments, the

alternate ones reflected over the germen, to which last section

the Campanuta ‘betonicifola of. the Prodromus flores graeces

capsulis obtectis ; and cannot therefore be the same hes

this species.

_. The Great Henee-Hoe Atoz is a very old inhabitant of

our greenhouses, and is the loftiest of the whole genus,

sometimes reaching, Mr. Haworrs says, to the height of

_tearly twenty feet. But although there are many old plants —

_™ the country, it has been very rarely known to flower ; so

rarely, that we do not remember to have heard any one say

_ that ‘they had seen it in this state, nor does it appear that

even Mr. Haworrtu himself, who has paid so much attention

__ to this tribe of plants, had ever seen it in blossom at the time

of his last publication. ‘The Hortus Kewensis fixes April May

May as its flowering season, but probably it has never blos-

somed there: M. Dr Canpo te says it flowers in the winter. -

Our drawing was taken in January last, from a plant in the ~

possession of Tuomas Hircuen, Esq. of Norwich, whose

liberality in sending us an excellent drawing, with specimens

of the flowers and foliage, we thankfully acknowledge. ‘The

uncoloured engraving represents, upon a reduced scale, the

whole plant, which is nearly six feet high, the trunk below

the leaves being three feet: the coloured part, a portion of

one of the upper leaves and one of the three branches of the

‘flowering stem of the natural size ; a separate flower is given

in its most fully expanded state, by which it may be observed,

that the generic character of an expanded mouth did not hold

good, in our specimen at least ; the other figure represents a

flower on its first opening, forcibly displayed to shew the

germen, style, and the filaments, which last are only half the .

length they afterwards acquire. 'They appeared to us to be

really hypogynous, or attached to the receptacle below the

germen, and not to the petals; but in this state the inner

petals embrace the filaments so closely, that they can hardly be

pulled off without bringing these away with them. The leaves

produce spines from every part, but sharper, longer, stouter,

and more curved along the margins, and in a line along the

middle of both the upper and underside. They abound with

a yellowish juice, which concretes into a gum-resin, intensely

bitter, without the nauseous taste of the hepatic aloes.

Mr, Hircuen informs us, that he has two of these plants,

nearly of the same size, which he supposes are at least forty

years old. He kept the one in the house, and exposed the

other to the open air during the summer months ; the latter

of these, invigorated by free ventilation, produced its flowers

in the winter, but the other has not bloomed. Mr. Hirc#Eex

is probably right in his conjecture, that these plants would

flower more frequently if they were not kept at all times

under cover. “We have made the same observation in speak-

ing of the Cactus triangularis, No. 1884.

There is a considerable affinity in this species to Sepum

oppositifolium of this work (No. 1807), and still greater to

Sepum stellatum. In all of these the flowers are white, and

in the two first, at least, this colour extends to the germens.

The leaves on the flowering stems es Sepum — fre-

quently, but not always, w by threes, sometimes they are

a and now ane ‘hea one ; but the most remark-

able character is that of its dropping a fifth of all the parts oa

the flower, having only four.segments to the calyx, the same

number of petals and germens, and eight stamens.

It was this circumstance that induced the late Mr. Curtis

to give it the name of deficiens, under which appellation it

entered the early editions of Donn’s Hortus Cantabrigiensis.

It is a native of North-America, is perfectly hardy, and

well suited to adorn rock-work ; and when in blossom, the

bright orange colour of the anthers when bursting, contrasted

with the white flowers, gives it a lively appearance. Is easily

propagated by its creeping. shoots, Flowers with us, as in

America, in May and June.

In its mode of growth this species resembles the common —

Hovsrteex, but its foliage and flowers are very different.

We believe it has been hitherto unnoticed by any botanist.

It was detected in the island of Teneriffe by the lamented

Professor Smita, whose ardour in the pursuit of natural ©

history, induced him to accompany the late unfortunate ex-

pedition up the Congo, in the prosecution of which, this

excellent and enterprising botanist added to the melancholy

list of sufferers who perished in the inhospitable climate of

equinoctial Africa, to the irreparable loss of the science, and

the unspeakable regret of his surviving botanical friends, who

had formed the highest expectations of future advantage to

the science, from his knowledge, learning, and well known

energetic character. A , Sg |

To Mr. Anperson, the present worthy curator of the

Apothecaries botanical garden at Chelsea, we are indebted

for an opportunity of adding in this number, two new species

to the genus Sempervivum, both collected by Professor

Situ in his journey to the Canary islands, in company with

Baron Bucu, oat transmitted by him to the Chelsea garden.

SemPERvivum 'ciliatum had this name/applied to it by its

discoverer from the remarkable border of white hairs round

the margin of the leaves.

Our drawing was taken in September 1817, and the same

plant is coming into flower again at the present time,

March 1818.

May be readily propagated by its offsets. It should be

kept during the winter months in the dry stove with other

succulent plants or in a good greenhouse.

The Professor did not send any specific name with it, we

have therefore thought it a duty incumbent on us, to give to

it that of the discoverer ; believing that no one will, in this

ease, object to applying the name of a botanist even to a

species, especially when the generic name of Smrruta is al-

ready and most worthily preoccupied ; thus leaving no other

way of giving the “ unicwm botanicorum premum = so

Jacquin has given, under the same name, a variety ve

nearly resembling our present plant, except that the under

was of a bronze colour.

This is a-very handsome flower, especially when nearly,

but not fully, expanded, at which period both sides of the

flower come into view. Whilst under. our draughtsman’s eye

A climbing shrub, cultivated in the stove, or in a good

are produced in long racemes, which are generally pendent. —

The flowers are quite regular, of a pale rose or flesh colour,

with a remarkable small calyx, almost imperceptibly, 5-

toothed ; pedicles divaricate and incurved ; the stamens are

not perfectly equal, one of the filaments being somewhat

longer than the rest; style longer than stamens; stigma

acute.

Its native country is not certainly known, for though

introduced in 1804 by the late Lord Szarortu a =

of South-America. We believe it was first cultivated in this

This is a very beautiful species of Everlasting from the

brilliancy of its golden coloured flowers. The leaves are

covered with a white cottony pubescence on both sides, which,

in the old leaves, sometimes disappears on the upper surface ;

the point of the leaf is terminated with a tawny, mnocuous

mucro, sometimes elongated, but generally short, and often

not seen in the older leaves: it seems to be a continuation of

the membranous portion of the leaf, denuded of its pubes-

cence. It is this we suppose that afforded to Lanittarpiere

the name of apiculatum. This species deviates from the

character of the genus in baying the outer scales of the calyx

acute,

acute, not rounded at the point. Pappus feathered towards

the summit. Flowers in some specimens grow crowded -

together, in others they are spread out on unequal peduncles,

in-some again they grow in a spreading panicle.

A greenhouse herbaceous perennial, by no means tender.

are the largest of any in the whole genus, easily torn, hairy,

on the under surface very soft and whitish. In the flowers

- we é@xamitied, there were regularly 5 fertile stamens, alter-

nating with 5 shorter barren filaments, and besides these a

larger, spathula-shaped, stamen-like organ, which we have

not observed in any other species. The flowers resemble

those of PeLARGoniumM friste, and like them are sweet-scented

at night, and scentless during the day.

Messrs. Loppiees have a smaller variety, in which the

leaves are not so undulated, less hairy, and more regularly

three-lobed. In this the flowers are still darker coloured.

Native of the Cape of Good-Hope ; from whence the roots

were imported into Holland in 1698, and it was cultivated in

England in 1710. Yet it is still among the rarest species of

this numerous tribe.

We have been twice favoured with a root of this plant from

the Rev. S. T. Wyxps, of Burrington, near Bristol, one of —

which flowered in May 1817. 3

It must be treated as one of the more tender Cape Gera-

niums. Is not very readily increased by the tuberous root,

and does not seem to ripen its seed freely ; so that it is likely

to continue a scarce plant.

five, of which number the outer series always consists, and it

more; even in cultivation, in some of the flowers, the petals

are limited to that number. The American Tro.tuivs does

This plant, which is comparatively of late introduction into

this country, is indeed very nearly related to the incarnata.

_ Of Linnaus, introduced from Virginia in the time of Parxin-

son; but we are inclined to consider it as a distinct species,

although for want of an opportunity of comparing both plants

together in a living state, it may not be possible to decide the

ne >

question with certainty. — ;

From an examination of several dried specimens of the ©

Virginian incarnata and comparing them with our plant,

the following differences have been observed ; in incar-

nata the germen is villous, which in edulis is naked, the

leaves of the former are pubescent along the ribs, particu-

larly in their young state, in the latter they are void of all

pubescence ; the glands on the leaves of incarnaia are for the.

most

most part situate at the junction of the lateral with the central

nerves, and therefore rather on the base of the lamina of the

leaf, than on its footstalk, as in edulis; in which they are

quite distinct from the lamina. There seem, however, to be

some slight deviations from this character. The above dis- —

tinguishing marks were first pointed out to us by Mr. Rosert

Brown, and the same obseryations are made by Mr. Sasine

in the volume of the transactions of the Horticultural society -

now in the press. : : )

. These characters added to the difference in the colour of

the fruit, which, when ripe, is a greenish yellow in zncarnata,

and a lurid purple in edulis, together with the herbaceous

annual stem of the former, which in the latter is woody

and permanent, may be thought sufficent to establish a spe-

cific distinction between them, But, as far as the figures of

incarnata can be trusted to, there appears also a considerable

difference in the leaves of the involucrum, which are not, as

- int edulis, uniformly serrated, with a gland at the point of

each tooth ; but have only a very few large globular glands

along their margin.

The corona m incarnata js described and represented as

somewhat longer than the calyx, which in edulis is shorter. .

The Purple-fruited Passion-flower; as we are informed by

Mr. Sapine, was raised about eight years since from seeds

receiyed from Portugal, by Epwunn Bornm, Esq. by whom.

it was very generously distributed, and being easily propaga-

ted both by seeds and cuttings, is already not uncommon.

The fruit of several other species of Passion-flower is

eatable, but as this seems far to exceed in flavour any of the

others, and is esteemed worth cultivating as a delicacy, we

have thought it might merit the name of edulis by preference.

BS our palate, however, it is too mawkish to be pleasant,

though after it has been gathered it acquires a very grateful

scent.

The Jasminum hirsutum is a very beautiful shrub, with

fragrant flowers. The degree of pubescence varies ve

muc

much according to the age; the leaves especially being much

more hairy while young than in adult plants.

Our friend, Sir James Epwarp Smiru, first rectified the

synonymy of this species ; and settled that of Burmann from

a specimen of his own ; otherwise we should have been in-

clined to doubt his plant being intended for this species, not

only from his describing the leaves as smooth, bui also from

the length of the tube of the corolla, which he describes as

being twice that of the calyx, and his figure represents it as

still longer ; whereas in our plant it only equals the segments

of the calyx. Van refers BurmAnn’s plant to undulatum, a

nearly allied species ; but this author had doubts of the ex-

istence of hirsutum, and in this he was right, if it were to

be considered as distinct from pubescens, which he adopted

from Rerzius; the name of hirsutus however having the

right of priority supersedes that of pubescens.

Native of China and the East-Indies. Introduced. latterly

Generally considered as one of the varieties of Manva ca-

pensis, from which it differs more especially in having pedun-

cles much shorter than the leaf, which grow two or three or

more together from the same axilla, and in the outer calyx

being much wider ; the flowers are likewise larger, and of a

more brilliant colour. From comparing it with a native spe-

cimen from the Cape, in the Banksian herbarium, supposed to

be of the same species, it appears by cultivation to lose great

part of its pubescence. Our plant agrees in every respect, as

far as we can discover by a careful examination of the speci-

men preserved in the same collection, with the one cultivated

at Kew, from which plant the species was taken up by Dr,

Soranper, but for some reason was not inserted in Arron’s

Hortus Kewensis. . 3

The Bulb of our plant is smooth, tunicated like the hya-

cinth, and shews no disposition to throw out offsets. Leaves

erect, growing distichwise on each side of the scape, lanceo-

late, somewhat undulate, of a full yellowish green colour ;

outer ones two feet long, and two inches wide in the middle.

Scape erect, rounded, bearing its flowers in a long raceme on

very short bluish pedicles ; the colour of the petals nearly

white, with a tinge of blue, that of the germen a saturate blue,

of the anthers a dull purple with yellow pollen. :

The references to the figures of the old authors for Scitua

ttalica, hyacinthoides and lusitanica, seem to us to be very

"unsatisfactory, nor are the characters much less so, if the —

plants drawn in this work under these names are properly de-

signated, of which we have no doubt. It must be oes

that our figure of hyacinthoides (No. 1140) does not correspond

very well with the character in Arron’s Hortus Kewensis, nor

indeed with the specimen preserved in the Banksian herbarium,

from which that character was drawn. It agrees, however,

with the description by Linnaus of that species, as adopted in

the 12th edition of the Systema Vegetabilium, from Govan.

To us it appears probable, that our present plant was the

species had in view, when the character of hyacinthoides was

drawn up for the Hortus Kewensis, and this is confirmed by

an inspection of the above-mentioned specimen in the Banksian

Herbarium. |

Communicated by Rosert Barctay, Esq. of Bury Hill,

in March last, who raised it from bulbs sent from Spain, last

year, by Dr. Snuter. It was treated as a Greenhouse plant,

but removed for a few days into the stove at the time when |

it shewed for bloom. Cultivated in the open air, its season

of flowering would of course be later. May is the time

mentioned in the Hortus Kewensis, and from the same au-

thority we learn that it was introduced by the late Dr. Gray,

of the British ‘Museum.

*. The Passtrxona racemosa was first described by BroTERo

in the 12th volume of the Transactions of the Linnean Socié

ety, from plants brought from Brazil by Mr. Wooprorp, and

cultivated in his garden at Lisbon. The specific name of

racemosa was given to it from its frequently bearing its flower,

at the pendulous extremities of the branches, in naked racemes |

without leaves, and sometimes even without stipules; but

this is by no means a constant feature. In Messrs: Loppiers

stove, where it thrives in the greatest luxuriance, the more

‘usual state, and in which the flowers shewed to the greatest ad-

vantage was when two flowers were produced, one on each side

the footstalk of the leaf, and the tendril in the middle between

them. The form of the calyx is very remarkable, being

deeply keeled on the lower side: the keel separating from the

upper side towards the point, and extending beyond it into

an incurved spur-like process. Before the flower is expatided

these keels give the buds a five-winged appearance. The

bractes are three-leaved, close to the tube of the calyx, and

fall off some time: before the flowers open. The glands on

the petiole seem to be far less constant in this than in some

other species. It grows naturally in shady woods in a gravelly

soil, and is said often to produce two stems from the same

roots, one of which rapidly climbs very high, and produces

- flowers altogether without leaves, while the other, bearing

leaves,

leaves, either lies on the ground, or climbs and does not

flower till one or two years after the other has born fruit. It

is observed to vary in the number of the glands, in the colour’

of the corolla approaching more to scarlet than crimson, and

in the nectary being greenish within instead of blue. It may

certainly be esteemed as a splendid acquisition to-our stoves.

The stoves, conservatories, end green-houses, belonging to

Messrs. Loppices and Sons, are now entirely heated by steam,

‘upon a principle that is simple and perfectly safe, and there

is little doubt but that it will be evelong generally adopted,

We have been sometimes blamed for giving plants which

have been before figured in the Botanical Register, a censure

-to which no one of our numbers has been so much exposed

as the present. In this case; however, as in most others, it

was hardly possible to have been avoided, our drawing being

made and engraved before the publication of it in the Register.

To the very few persons who take in both works, it is no

doubt more desirable that. their contents should in every case

be different, and, as. far as is compatible with the interest of

the proprietors, and the satisfaction of the majority of our

subscribers, it is our desire to accommodate our numbers to

the wishes of those few. But every considerate person, who

is at all acquainted with the business, must see that this in-

convenience is more easily pointed out than prevented. The —

flowering season of plants is fugitive, the recurrences of op>

portunity often uncertain, which, united with other circum-

stances, makes it necessary to accumulate our drawings long

before they can be used ; and the artists of the first eminence,

who have been always employed in drawing for the Botanical

Magazine, are paid too highly for their labours to allow of

these being thrown aside. It must be seén too, that in the

case of newly introduced plants of unusual beauty, or of

general curiosity, it will be thought a poor excuse by our

numerous subscribers, the majority of whom are perhaps

pos of no other work containing figures of plants, to

be told that they may be accommodated elsewhere. The

Botanical Magazine now contains figures of upwards of two

thousand species, drawn from nature, by the most eminent

artists, a number, exclusive of cryptogamous plants, never

before attained in any botanical work; and is progessively

increasing in importance; and may in. time be expected to

contain representations of most of the important plants cultt-

vated in our gardens. |

This species of Evparorium has been frequently mistaken

for sessiltfolium ; but WiLLpENow and other authors describe

sessilifolium as having quite smooth, minutely serrated leaves ;

and Crayron’s specimen, preserved in the Banksian her-

barium, corresponds with these characters, and appears to us

are thicker, rugose like those of sage, more grossly serrate,

broader, and more cordate at the base, and drawn out to a

longer point, covered with a thick kind of tomentum on the

under surface, and not with minute resinous dots. It ap-

proaches very near to Evpatrorium perfoliatum, of which

perhaps it may be a variety with distinct leaves, but is a

smaller plant, and the leaves, though stem-embracing, are

never connate. . Z

Cherimolli in Peru.

M. De Canpotte prefers the name of Cherimolia, given it

by Lamarck in the Encyclopedia, which has indeed the right

of priority. But as Wittprenow and even Persoon, the two

systematic writers in most general use, have adopted the name

given it in the first edition of Ayron’s Hortus Kewensis, that

of tripetala seems now to be best known, on which account

only we retain it. - ine 7 .

The Lystmacuia thyrsiflora is a native of Great Britain,

but hardly to be met with in the Southern parts of the island,

except.in gardens, where it is sometimes cultivated.

It is somewhat remarkable that a plant so very different in’

habit from all the other European species of Lysimachia, «

should have been referred to that genus by ms old botanists :

: : aud

and not less so that it should have been retained there by

modern systematic writers, especially in the prevalent rage

for establishing new genera, when it is considered in how

many points it differs from the rest of the species. Ha.ier

remarks that it can scarcely belong to Lysimachia ; but we

have not found that any body has attempted to separate it from

that genus, except the late Professor Moénen, who has called

it Naumpereia, in-honour of I. S. Naumsure, author of

Lebrbuch der Botanick, printed at Hamburgh and Altona

1798. And to this genus he refers all the species of Lysi-

machia that have the filaments distinct to the base. We

suspect that this character may include some that are as differ-

ent from this, as it is from others; and without an opportu-

nity of examining the whole, we think it best to keep to the

old established name, however dubious we may be of its really

belonging to the genus.

The segments of the calyx, the laciniz of the corolla, and

the number of stamens always correspond, but are said to

vary from five to eight; the general number in cultivated

plants, and no others have we had an opportunity of seeing

m a living state, appears to be six, from which we. have ob-

served very few deviations. There is a very nearly related

_ species found in the salt marshes near New York, in which

‘Porsu says is certainly distinct; but his specific character

will apply equally well to the European plant, nor does he

mention a single point in which they differ.

Flowers in May, June, and July. Requires a moist situation.

This plant has been generally considered in our nurseries

as a distinct species from agar grandiflorq, and is the

one introduced into Donn’s Catalogue under the name of lati-

Jjolium. Weare, however, inclined to consider them and the

laciniata of Jacquin as mere varieties, seeing the form of

the leaves and the colour of the flower are so given to vy

The form of the calyx distinguishes all these plants from

vulgaris, of which Linnavus considered grandiflora asa

variety. es : . |

Our plant is certainly the Prunexza latifolia of Donn’s

Hortus Cantabrigiensis, and as this book is so much in the

hands of foreigners, who have seldom any means of knowing

what such plants are, as are only recorded by name, without

reference to any character, we regard the ascertaining of such

to be a very useful office.

' The genus Passtrtora seems particularly liable to vary in

the number of lobes into which the leaves are divided; from:

which circumstance the usual division of it into sections, ac-

cording to the number of lobes in the leaf, seems very incon-

venient; such a division also brings species together that are

very little allied. It appears to us that the different inflores-

cence would afford more constant, as well as more natural

sections: some species always producing their flowers on soli-

tary one-flowered peduncles, others always in pairs, and others

again, as in the present instance, on compounded peduncles,

each bearing two, three, or more flowers. os

The Passiflora holosericea is a very desirable stove climber,

for although its blossoms are much less brilliant than in some

of the other species, yet they are by no means without beauty,

and make up by their number and fragrance what they want

in splendid colouring.

introduced into the Chelsea garden by Dr. Witt1am Houstoun

The greatest confusion has taken place among botanists re-

specting Gnipra pinifolia, radiata and imberbis. WeEnpLAND

has described and figured the last mentioned under the name

of pinifolia, and our plant under that of radiata. The two first

are probably the same species. Linnaus seems to have de-

scribed pinifolia a second time in the Mantissa, under the name

of radiata ; and in the Supplement, the former name occurs

again with a new character, which has certainly nothing to

do with our plant. This last is given in Martyn’s edition of

Miller’s Dictionary, under the name of Gnin1a Sparmanni ;

and itis undoubtedly quite distinct from pintfolia. G. imberbis

| we

we have figured at (No. 1463), and have there corrected its

synonymy ; having before, at No. 812, shewn that it was mis-

taken in our Nurseries for simplex.

Gnipia pinifolia is a very pretty shrub, and its flowers,

though not shewy, are very fragrant, especially in the evening.

The genus Dorstensa, of which there are several species,

a flat fleshy receptacle of various forms. In Dorsrenra

Houstoni the receptacle is nearly square, and somewhat curled

in at the oe In its organization it approaches very near

to the fig; for it is only to imagine the edges tobe continued

aiphey meet, and to be united, enclosing the flowers in the

The flowers are very minute; they probably differ in their

structure in different species: in our plant they appeared to be

monandrous, or at least the stamens to be placed singly without

order among the pistils. According to the description of this

_ species in Miller’s Dictionary, its stature is much greater than

we have observed it ; and in Houstoun’s figure above ier

the leaves between the angles are represented as quite entire,

not crenated as in cur’s, and they are nearly so in the spe-

cimen collected in Campeachy by Hovustroun himself, still

preserved in the Banksian Herbarium; but in no other

respect could we discoyer any difference ; in the figure by

SPRENGEL, above quoted, the leaves are crenated, as in our

plant.

The Contrayerva roots of the shops are probably collected

indifferently from various species, certainly from this, accord-

ing to Houstroun, in Campeachy, where it is indigenous.

This plant is the Campanuta betonicefolia of Marscuaut

having been applied to a different species two years before the

publication of his work, by Prof. Jamzs E. Smirn in his

Prodromus Flore Grece, Mr. Ker, in the Botanical Register, .

has changed the specific name to Sarmatica ; a step we should

hardly have taken, because if that of betonicifolia had not

been published before the appearance of the Prodromus, the

plant must have been more early known to Russian botanists

by that name and communicated to other countries, as we

received it ourselves, under the same, from Mr. Loppices,

in June 1805. a. Pg ie |

It is a hardy perennial, remarkable for the grey colour of

its leaves, which are harsh and very rugose, oblong-cordate, -

or nearly sagittate at the base. It belongs to the section in

which the calyx is divided into ten segments, five of which

are reflexed, but the reflexed segments in this species are very

minute, giving the appearance of only five arrow-shaped |

segments. ‘The corolla is marked with five hairy lines. The

valvular bases of the filaments are nearly orbicular and cili-

ated. Germen trilocular. Style longer than the stamens,

and, as frequently happens in this genus, so covered with the

pollen that its divisions are not observable, but the stigmas

afterwards separate into three, and finally roll back.

Flowers in June and July. Our drawing was taken from

Anprosace septentrionalis is a hardy annual, the flowers

nevertheless a pretty plant, that looks very well upon rock

work, Is easily propagated by seeds, which it ripens readily.

Tt appears to us that at least two species have heen con-

Gme.in more probably belongs to coronopifolia ; as perhaps

does that of Mituer above dubiously quoted.

The figure in Flora Danica isa good representation of our

plant, and as we observe in Dr. Fiscner’s Catalogue of the

vegica, it is probable that he there adverts to this plant, and

that his septentrionalis is our coronopifolia. —

omens Sim

The Anprosace coronopifolia is ¥ery nearly allied to the

septentrionale, and may perhaps by some be thought to be

more preperly considered as a variety than a distinct species :

but, by bringing them together, some remarkable differences

will be perceived, particularly in the greater laxity of the

-_ footstalks of the flower, and in the size and form of the

corolla, ae.

The synonyms which we have quoted appear to us to belong

to our plant, though generally applied to septentrionals.

Native of Siberia. Supposed to have been first introduced

into this country about the year 1806 by Mr. Bett, but

Mitier’s figure quoted for septentrionalis may perhaps be~

long to this species ; and in that case it is of earlier intro-

duction than the other. ;

Flowers in June and July, full a month or six weeks later

ihan the other. Communicated by N.S. Hopson, Esq. now

of Bury St. Edmunds.
