been before given, is at firft fight eafily diftinguifhed from _

Aotus villofa (No. 949) with which it has been confounded,

from the corolla being of a plain yellow colour without ftreaks.

A more attentive obfervation will fhew the two additional leaf-

every leaf, both which parts are entirely wanting in Aotus ;

nor do the flowers grow In whorls as in the latter.

Dr. Smtru, who had not feen a living plant, obferves, that

he could find no trace of leaves, but fufpeéts that the feedling

plants may probably have them; we find however that the

fterile branches or young fhoots, which produce no flowers

the fame year, are clothed with fmall lanceolate leaves. In

cultivation we have generally found two kidney-fhaped feeds

in each pod, one attached to the dorfal margin of each valve

The pod is inflated, nearly globular, but the back almoft-

ftraight; the peculiar oblique twifting, mentioned by Dr.

Smiru, is probably the effe€t of drying. In other refpeés

we find the Doétor’s defcription to correfpond with our own

obfervations: we did not indeed advert to the diftance of the

two upper flamens from each other, but it may be fo. a

All that we know of this plant is, that Mr. Lonprces re-

ceived it, fome years ago, among other Cape bulbs, from

Holland, under the name of OxniTHOGALUM frupefire, which

is a very humble plant, with only two or three flowers on the

{cape. This appears to us to be the fame with Jacguin’s

-lefs numerous than in his figure, and the fegments of the co-

rolla fomewhat broader and more blunt. ‘The filaments are

narrow-lance-fhaped, alternate ones rather broader. Flowers

Dr. Smits appears to have had a fpecimen of this plant —

before him when he framed his fpecific chara&ter of what hea

fuppoled to be the radiata of Water. Butthe HypRancea

radiata of Micnaux, probably the fame as that of Watrer,

has entire, not lobed leaves, and flowers growing in a cyme,

the fterile ones in the circumference, and by cultivation, ac-

cording to Micuaux, fometimes lofes its white woollinefs on

the under fide and ceafes to produce fterile flowers, when it

can hardly be diftinguifhed from Hyprancea arbore/cens,

with which this fpecies can never be confounded.

The propriety of Dr, Smirn’s reference of the HorTENSIA

of Jussieu to this genus is certainly ftrengthened by the con-

fideration of this fpecies, in which three ftigmas fometimes —

occur and the change in the fterile flowers exaétly correfpondss. _

the expanded calyx in both being more ufually divided into

four petal-like, flat fegments, containing an imperfe&, globular

corolla in the centre. The number ten appears to us the moft

natural in the ftamens of - both, though Dr. Rota always

obferved eleven in Hortenfia. See his obfervations on this ;

fubje& in Aunals of Botany, vol.ii. p.g1. :

Our drawing was made from a fine plant, fent us in flower, —

by Mr. Loppices, in June laft. As many living fpecimens

were brought from America laft year, by Mr. Lyons, and

have been difperfed by his fale, this Hydrangea will foon —

become common, fhould it fortunately be found to refit the

cold of our winters; but being a native of Florida, where it

was firft difcovered by Mr. Witttam Bartram, it may pro-.

bably require the protetion of a greenhoufe.

In its native foil it is found growing in clumps, on the

banks of rivers; putting out many ftems from the fame root,

five or fix feet high, and fpreading irfelf greatly on all fides, —

by offsets. Mr. Bartram defcribes the flowers as being at

firft of a crimfon colour, changing more purple with age, and

finally turning brown, but not falling off. In our plant and

in another we faw at Mr. Hissert’s, the flowers were white

with a greenifh tinge when young,

its length, we have fhewn them how it may be corrupted

without much injury, for in truth, even to the moft learned,

a word fignifying a crowded-{pike or a boat’s-tail (Cymburus)

can convey no idea whatever of the plant. From right of

As no author has given us any information refpe@ing the

fruit of the Chinefe Magnolias, it is impoffible to afcertain

whether they really belong to this genus or not. We have

been informed that fome Botanifts in Madrafs, confidering this

plant as a new genus, named it Gwituimia in honour of

Lady Gwittim, the patronefs of the f{cience in that Prefi-

dency ; but as: it cannot be feparated from Magnolia, unlefs

the fruit fhould be found ta be different, we do not feel our-—

felves at liberty to adopt the alteration, though defirous of

payingsevery refpe& to this amiable lady.

The flowers, though unfortunately of very fhort duration,

are fo powerfully fragrant, that a fingle one will perfume a

whole apartment, in the evening. To fome perfons however —

the fcent is not agreeable.

Said to have been introduced by the late Mr. Starter, to

whom we are indebted for fo many of the curious plants of

China. The firft we remember to have feen was imported

from thence by Mr. Evans, of the Eaft-India-Houle.

In the ftove it is an evergreen fhrub, but appears to be

naturally deciduous, and is better preferved in the greenhoule,

that a geniculated footftalk is common to the whole of them,

We have to beg the indulgence of the Subfcribers to the

Botanical Magazine, for having here given a fecond figure of

the fame plant, an overfight which unfortunately was not de-

te€ted until the whole of the impreffion was worked off, and_

the greater part coloured.

The prefent drawing, being made from a more vigorous

plant, and further advanced, has the advantage of fhewing the

fhape of the feed-veffels, and confirms our former obferva-

tion, that the number of leaflets of the involucre correfponds

with that of the pedicles. ?

as to continue Sisyrincaium diftiné&t from the prefent —

genus; but we are now fully perfuaded, that there exifls too

great a coincidence of charaéter and habit among their mutual —

{pecies to require, or even admit of, fuch feparation, at leaft _

according to our notions of generic boundary. &

The fubje& of this article is a native of the coaft of Cali- —

fornia, from whence it was imported, according to a note in the —

Bankfian Herbarium, fome years ago, by Mr. A. Menzies.

A hardy greenhoufe plant, blooms in the autumn, and is

propagated with eafe both by feed and parting the roots.

In the third volume of the invaluable Sketches of Mr.

Francis Bauer, we found a drawing of the whole vegetable,

without name, but accompanied by a highly magnified dif-

fe€tion of the parts of fruftification. It was here that we firft

noticed the cohefion of the ftamens at their bafe, a circum-

ftance that had entirely efcaped us, while examining the flowers

with the naked eye, at Mr. Sarissury’s botanic garden,

where our drawing was made.

The prima facie likenefs between this vegetable, and the

.SIsYRINCHIUM convolutum of RepouTr’s Lit1aceks is very

remarkable ; but that has a round branched feape, and is faid

to be a native of the Cape of Good Hope. G. :

A native:

A native of the moift meadows of Pennfylvania and Caro-

lina. Cultivated by Mr. Miter in 1768. At prefent rather

a fcarce plant; hardy; will grow in any moift border of light

mould; feldom feeds, and is not eafily multiplied by parting

the roots. Generally kept in a pot with Alpine plants. The

drawing was made at Mr. Loppicss’s.

Bartram (according to a note on his fpecimen in the

Bankfian Herbarium) fays it grows in America to the height

of five feet, and obferves, that the flowers which are at firft

cream-coloured become red as they decay; Mr. Loppicss

_ has remarked the fame. Mtcuaux mentions it as attaining

_ the length of only two or three feet; why he thinks the above

fynonym from Piuxnert’s work does not agree, we cannot

conceive, unlefs he has fome other plant in view. This fpecies

alone is fufficient to difturb the ferenity of the ftouteft Linnean;

fince from recorded varieties its prefence is required in three —

different orders and claffes; by fome it has been obferved to

belong to Hexandria Trigynia, as having all hermaphrodite

flowers, by others to Polygamia Moneecia, the flowers being

hermaphrodites mixed with males; and again by another, to ~

Dicecia Hexandria, as having all female flowers on one plant

and all male on another. :

We ourlelves have never yet met with any plant of the genus

that’ was Dicecious nor one which had all hermaphrodite

flowers. Why fhould Veratrum be kept diftin@? G.

This plant, though not unknown to Botanifts fince the days

of Maztuioxus, and cultivated in this country, by Geranp, —

above —

above two hundred years ago, appears to have been at all

times rare. It was named by Matruiotus alier his friend

Cortusus, Profeffor of Botany at Padua, who firft difcovered

it in the Valle-Stagna, in the territory of Vicenza. It has

been found alfo in the mountains of Carinthia, Stiria, and_

Silefia, and more plentifully by ALtton1 in Piedmont; but

its moft natural habitation appears, from Gmeuin’s account, to

be to the eaftward of the Yenifei in Siberia. Although figures

of this plant occur fo frequently in the older authors, yet, —

before that of Attiont we have obferved only three original.

ones, thofe of Matruiotus, Cxiustus, and the diminutive —

one of Camerartivs, to which laft is added a leaf and de-

tached flower of the natural fize from Gesner.

There occurs not a little contradiGion in the different

defcriptions given of this plant. The fegments of the calyx

are figured by Attront as three-toothed, and his charaéter -

has been adopted in the latter editions of the Genera Plantarum;

but, according to our obfervation, they are fimply acute and

not refleéted at the point. The corolla is generally faid to be

wheel-fhaped, but is better defcribed by Gartner as funnel-

fhaped; the tube is the length of that of the calyx, and gra-

dually widens upwards. The latter author fays the faux is

naked, while by Linn xus and Jussreu this part is faid to be

furnifhed with a ring; we have found a membranous ring, —

formed as appears to us by the coalefcence of the filaments,

Garner defcribes the capfule as two-valved, with valves often

bifid at the point, but according to all other authors, and even —

his own figure, it divides into five fegments. oo

This plant is recorded by Matrruio.us to poffefs a virtue, —

which, though of little ufe to the mountain nymph, may per-

haps recommend it to the notice of the pale-faced belles —

of crowded cities: the leaves applied to the cheeks, and

hortly removed, occafion a beautiful colour, refembling —

that from the fineft rouge, which after fome time difappears

without injury to the fkin.

The fpecific chara&ter was formed to diftinguifh it from

Cortusa Gmelini, which however, according to GERTNER,

is a true Androface. !

Is a hardy perennial ; requires a fhady and moift fituation.

When Linn avs publifhed his third edition of the Species

Plantarum, he had afcertained only thirty-two fpecies of Sage.

In Prof. Maxtyn’s elaborate edition of Miiuer’s Diftionary,

this number is increafed to feventy-nine; and the much la-

mented V aut has enumerated and defcribed no lefs than one

hundred and thirty-feven fpecies. This may ferve as an in-

ance of the prodigious acceflion that has been of late years —

Made to the number of known vegetables, chiefly by the re-

fearches of Botanifts in diftant parts of the world. ee

This Sage is confidered as a hardy perennial, it will be

Prudent however to preferve fome plants from the feverity

9! our winters by artificial prote¢lion. It is a native of the

*€vant, where it was firft difcovered by Tourngrort, and

after him by Forskoux; was introduced into our gardens,

according to Mr. Donn, about the year 1800, we fuppofe

by means of the late Prof. Sisruorre, who made two voyages

into Greece for the exprefs purpofe of ftudying the Flora of

that interefting country, and the fruit of whofe labours is now

publifhing under the care of Dr. Smiru. a

The figure in the Flora Greeca is taken from a much more ©

robuft plant, with many whorls and about fix flowers in each;

but Forsxout defcribes the whorls as two-flowered and ftems

a foot high, which correfponds better with our figure. Flowers

in July and Auguft ; propagated by dividing the roots, Com-

municated by Mr. LoppicEs. é

This genus was eftablifhed by Dr. Smrtu and named in

honour of the friend of his youth and early inftruétor in the

{cience of Botany, James Crowe, Efq. 3

We have given M. Ventenar’s fpecific charaéter at

length, for the fake of remarking our furprife that fo good a

Botanift fhould fall into an error, not uncommon. indeed with

his countrymen, that of giving a fpecific charaéter when the

genus contains only one known fpecies. The whole purport

of the fpecific phrafe is to diftinguifh the individual {pecies

from the reft of the genus, and is of courfe liable to be altered

Upon the difcovery of every new fpecies. It is therefore.

totally inadmiffible, indeed impoffible to be framed to any

— ufeful purpofe, whilft the genus confifts of one known fpecies __

Only, Some further. ftri€tures on Mr. VENTENAT’sS account

of this plant, by our friend Mr. Konrc, may be feen in the

firft volume of Annals of Botany, p. 173. —

The Crowea is a native of New-Holland, and one of the

handfomeft flowering fhrubs that has been as yet introduced

from that country. 3 :

Our drawing was made fome years fince in the garden of

E. J. A. Wooprorp, Efq. then at Vauxhall. Requires to

be preferved in the greenhoufe during the winter, but fhould

have plenty of air in mild weather. May be propagated by

cuttings. Flowers the greateft part of the year.

That our plant is the fame as that of Arputno, Rec-

NAULT, and Govan, is we think indubitable ; but we cannot

equally fatisfied with refpe&t to Feuities’s, which is

th figured and defcribed by him as always having terminal

Owers, whereas in ours, they are conftantly axillary. We

‘re the more inclined to doubt the identity of thefe plants

fom Gouan’s remark that it is a native of Spain and the

ands of Majorca and Minorca, as well as of Peru and Chili;

°r fuch very diftant habitats, when attributed to the fame fpe-

— “ss, although poffibly correét, are ever to be a ie

ere

There is, however, in the Bankfian Herbarium, a {pecimen

from Valparaifo in Chili, having flowers both terminal and

axillary, which, though not entirely refembling our plant, does

not afford any charaéteriftic difference. ;

Is to be treated as a greenhoufe fhrub; flowers from May

to September ; and, whether we regard its foliage or variegated

bloffoms, is one of ‘the handfomett in the genus. Introduced

about the year 1770. Is readily propagated by cuttings,

The name of PotnctaNa was given to this {fplendid fhrub

y Tourneront, in commemoration of M. De Pornct,

Governor

Governor of the Antilles. Its Englifh appellation denotes

ufe to which it is frequently applied in the Weft-Indies, an

Jacourn remarks that a hedge made of this plant, efpecially

when mixed with Parxinsonra aculeafa, forms the moft

beautiful fence imaginable; indeed few flowers have bee

defcribed in more enraptured language. Although long fince

widely diffufed through the Weft-India ifles, and frequently

found of fpontaneous growth, it is doubtful whether it

originally indigenous there. Licon fays exprefsly that it was”

imported into Barbadoes from the Cape de Verd Iflands. It

is cultivated through all the tropical countries of the Eaft,

efpecially wherever any Chinefe are fettled, by whom it is

called the Peacock’s Creft. Was introduced into Holland

from Amboyna about the year 1670, and cultivated in Chelfea_

Garden, by Sir Hans Stoang, in 1691; but as it cannot be

preferved out of the ftove, nor propagated except by feeds, it

muft ever remain a rarity in our northern climes...

The flowers are faid. to be fweet-fcented; but the whole

plant, when bruifed, diffufes a difagreeable fmell, very like

that of Savin, which it appears to refemble in virtue, being —

confidered, in the Weft-Indies, as a powerful emmenagogue.

Our drawing was made from a fine plant which flowered in

the colleétion of the Comteffle pz. Vannes in July laf.

Swartz has thought proper to unite Porncrana with

Cs Aiptnta, in which he has been followed by W1LtLDENOW

and our Martyn ;. but, notwithftanding thefe authorities, We

are deterred from adopting this change, by obferving that,

according to the accurate Gartner, the feed-pod of C#s-

AupiN1A Sapam is one-celled, which in our plant is divided by

a tranfverfe feptum between each feed; and in refpeét to the

form of the flower, Porncinta feems to have a nearer affinity —

‘There is no reafon whatever to believe that the varieties of

this celebrated plant, fold by our Nurferymen, under the

names of Tuea viridis aud Tuea Bobea, are really diftiné

i {pecies,

fpecies.. Indeed it is now nearly afcertained, that all the dif.

ferent forts of tea, prepared in China, are the produce of the

fame fpecies ; and that the colour, form, and qualities, depend:

chiefly upon the climate, foil, age, modes of preparation, and

various manipulations that the leaves are fubje&ted to. What

is known refpeéting thefe has been fo frequently repeated, that

we fhall only refer our readers to Prof. Marryn’s edition of

Mixivrer’s Dittionary. The Sobea variety appears, however, to

be more tender than the Green, and will not endure the feverity

of our winters, which the latter bears with impunity.

According to our friend and. coadjutor Mr. Ker (late

Gawter) TuHea and Came uia cannot be kept apart, but

mufi be united into one genus ; and our own obfervations go

to confirm this idea, but we are unwilling to change the generic

name until all the allied plants fhall have been more accurately

examined. The imbricated calyx of the latter may be thought —

to keep them diftin&, though the former has likewife a few

{cales at the bafe, which foon fall off. Moft certainly, however,

even in the Linnean fyftem, Cameriria and Tura ought not

to have been placed in different claffes, for the filaments and

petals of the Tra all coalefce at the bafe, and always fall off

united in one piece, though, if examined when the flower firft

expands, the filaments will be feen firmly attached to the

receptacle.

In his natural orders, Linn aus refers both Came tra and

Tuea toa diftin@ feétion at the end of his columuifera@, OF

malvacee of Jussieu. The fatter author hefitatingly and per-

haps with lefs propriety has added them to his Aurantia*.

- The variety here figured, according to Lourerro, grows

in the province of Fo-kien, in China; and, if our fynonym be

right, occurs alfo, both indigenous and cultivated, in the pro-

vince of Canton. : ia

Flowers with us in the autumn, and when planted in the

open ground not at all, except in the moft favourable feafons.

May be propagated by cuttings. Introduced about the year

1768; by Joun Extts, Efg. . )

Our figure was taken in Matcoxm’s Nurfery, Kenfington,

at that time in the poffeflion of Meffrs. Grimwoop and

WYKEs. ae

_* According to our obfervation, made in a recent and mature feed, the

radicle of the embryo is refleéted towards ‘the bafe, while the plumula, 0%

mentioned by G2rrTwer, is afcendant or centripetal ; but we do not venture (0

lay any ftrefs upon a fingle experiment, made too without reference to pu’

pbfervations, and therefore perhaps with too little attention,

Among the figures above quoted, thofe of Crusius and

ENA, Barretier and Puitip Mixcer, are the only ori- —

ginal

ginal ones. Of thefe, that of Pena expreffes the habit of the

plant the beft, but was taken after the flowers had dropped

off, in which flate the fpecimens in herbariums are frequently

found. Perhaps it was this circumftance that mifled Lin-

naus when he defcribes the corolla “ as fcarcely larger than

the calyx.”

A native of the Southern parts of France, Spain, and

Portugal ; growing chiefly on dry gravelly hills; is faid to be

particularly abundant about Montpelier, and in fimilar foils

in other parts of Languedoc.

It owes its fpecific title of Lychnitis, as well as its Spanifh

name Candelera, to the ufe to which the long flender radical

leaves are applied, as wicks for lamps, which purpofe they

are faid to anfwer very well, even in their recent ftate.

Cultivated by Mixver in the Phyfic-Garden at Chelfea, in

1731, but may be confidered with us as a very rare plant. Is_

generally treated as a greenhoufe fhrub, but in a fheltered

fituation and dry gravelly foil, it would probably do much

better in the openair. Flowers in July. Our drawing was

made in the garden of E. J. A, Wooprorp, Efq. late at

According to Lamarck, CavaNniLte’s genus DomBeya is

not to be feparated from PENTAPETES. We have therefore

retained the appellation given to this fhrub in the Hortus

Kewenfis, though it is at prefent better known in our nurferies

by that of Domsrya, a name applied by Lamarck to the

Norfolk-Ifland Pine, in which he has been followed by Profeffors

Scureser and Martyn, as alfo by Mr. LamBert, who has

_ lately added figures of that beautiful tree to his {plendid Mono-

graph on Pines.

If this plant be feparated from Penrareres, and really

elong to Domazyva of Cavanittes, it fhould be called

| Assonia.

Assonia Eryibroxylon (Vide Gen. Plant. ed. Schreb.). But —

having our doubts whether it ought to be joined with that

enus, we rather reftore the original name given to it in the

Forts Kewenfis. eR

It has only five fertile ftamens, alternating with thefe are

five tongue-fhaped bodies, of a black purple colour, more

ere&, and twice the length of the flamens, perhaps more pro- —

perly called neélaries, than barren filaments. The external

calyx confifts ef three {mall braftes, which fall off as foon as

the flower opens. ;

Native of St. Helena, where there occurs another fpecies

with leaves quite entire at the margin, called Bracx-Woop

or Esony (Pentaretes Melanoxylon, Soland. MSS.) which

is an undoubted congener of our plant, and perhaps the one—

figured in the Botanift’s Repofitory.

Found by Crusrus in moift meadows in feveral parts of

Auftria, and particularly in the ifles of the Danube. Defcribed

and figured by Jacquin in his Flora Aufriaca, by whom alfo

it was introduced into the Kew Gardens in 1776.

Is a hardy ornamental herbaceous plant; requires little or

no trouble in its culture, growing in almoft any foil or fitua-

tion, not occupying much room, nor trefpafling on its neigh-

bours; and is eafily propagated by parting its roots in the

{pring or autumn.

the delicate, white flowers, marked with five fpots, elegantly

fhaded with blue and carmine, fomewhat in the manner of the

difference. It feems neverthelefs to be permanent, and not

at all difpofed to change to the common purple flowered fort.

Is a hardy annual, fhould be fown where it is intended to

Prior to his fixth edition of the Genera Plantarum, L1-

naus had eftablifhed a genus, under the name of He1sTERIAy

of which he at that time was acquainted with one {pecies only

(No. 340 of this work). Had he known that there were feveral

others which have great affinity with this, and are equally 4

tinguifhed from the other fpecies of Polygala, by the form°

the calyx and corolla, as well as habit, he would probably have

continued Heifteria as a diftin& genus, with which in that ©

our prefent plant muft have been arranged. a

In its bloffoms it is very fimilar to PoryGaLa Heifierity

but is a fmaller fhrub, very pubefcent, and partakes very fietle

of that inflexible rigidity, which occafioned the former {pec

to be compared to Furze. A hardy greenhoufe fhrub; nallV

of the Cape; propagated by cuttings; flowers through ©

The Macnouia fufcata is nearly allied to the pumila

(No. 997) and is. like it cultivated in China, both on account

of its beauty and fragrance. Is readily diftinguifhed from the

latter by its ere€t peduncles, which, as well as the calyx and —

neighbouring part of the ftem, are clothed with a brown glan-

dular pubefcence. = ee

From its habit, it appears to be a fhrub of humble grow b,

and, on that account, the better adapted to* ornament

houfes. Is naturally deciduous, but in the ftove bee

ever-green. It is however by no means tender, and at

requires only the proteétion of a greenhoufe. ee

diftin@ fpecies, but for this we can fee no reafon; the

men figured in the Paradifus Londinenfis appears to have De"

far lefs vigorous than that from which our drawing was taken,

and the colour of the flowers varies much in intenfity, 17 if

portion as the plant is more or lefs expofed to the influence s

The younger Linnaus united Laxman’s Dracocek-

_PHALUM altaienfe with grandiflorum, confidering them as the

fame fpecies ; and this bas been adopted both in the Hortus

Kewenfis and Martyn’s Mitrer’s Ditionary, Witt- —

DENOw has endeavoured again to feparate thefe plants, com-

fidering them to be very different; as however we have no

doubt but that Gmexin’s plant was the fame as Laxman’s, WE

fee no reafon to make two {pecies: we are indeed more inclined

to confider the palmatum of WittpEeNow as likewife a mere

variety of this. -Like moft alpine plants, it varies much in

ftature, from a finger’s length, to a foot, and in a vigorous

ftate produces a great number of flowers both in whorls and

in a terminating head. Our {pecimen was probably very much

ftunted, from having been eaten down in the early part of the

{pring by flugs, from whofe devaftations it is preferved with ex-

treme difficulty ; otherwife it is a hardy herbaceous perennial.

Native of the fummits of the Altaifch Alps, growing in the fhade

in a northern afpe&t. Flowers with us in May and Junce —

of the younger Linnaus “ that the flower is white:” a guefs

moft probably formed.from the dried plant, the corolla of |

which he fuppofed to have merely turned yellow in drying, as

is moft ufual with white flowers when fo treated. Named

ovata from the two outer leaves, which are fhorter and broader

in fome {pecimens than in the prefent, and may then be pro-

perly enough termed “ lanceolately ovate.”

The whole plant is fcentlefs. Blooms in February. Should

be kept in the greenhoufe.

pedicles. Braées fubulate, fhorter than calyx. Calyx fimple,

five-parted : fegments linear-lanceolate, pubefcent. Corolla

Among the addenda at the end of the fecond volume of the

Enumeratio Plantarum of Prof. Vaux; this fpecies is taken up

from the Botanift’s Repofitory, and is properly direéted to be

arranged next to Justicia fecunda ; to which it is indeed very

nearly allied, if it be not a mere variety of it. At firlt fight it

bears a ftrong refemblance to Justicia coccinea (Bot. Mag.

No. 432); but, upon clofer examination, thefe plants differ in al-

moft every point. The prefent is by much the moft defirable,

from its eafy culture, ready flowering, and more convenient fize.

Native of Barbadoes, but, as we believe, not of the Eatt-

Indies, as iserroneoufly ftated in Bot. Repof. and thence repeated

in Enum. Plantarum. Propagated, with great facility, by cut-

Lamarcx has divided the genus Rosin1a, and arranges this

{pecies under his Caragana ; but, whilft we confefs that it ought

to be feparated from Rosinia Pfeudacacia, hifpida, &c. we

think it will no more unite with Caragana than with them;

nor do we know any other fpecies of which it is properly a

congener: we therefore follow the generality of Botanifts, and

refer it, for the prefent, to Robinia.

This beautiful fhrub thrives well with us in the open air,

but is faid to be in general very thy of flowering, which has

been attributed to the want of {alt in the foil, as its native place

is in the dry barren falt fields on the borders of the river Irtis,

in Siberia.

The Weft-India Ifles and the warmer parts of the continent

of South-America contain many fpecies of Lantana, moft of

Which grow into fhrubs of confiderable height ; this is an an-

‘Dual plant, but with an almoft woody ftem. The flowers are

of a pale lilac colour with a yellow throat and not changeable,

as thofe of Lantana aculeata, No. 96, and feveral others are ;

the fpikes, which are at firft hemifpherical, become afterwards

oblong. Introduced before 1733, by Dr. Wm. Houston,

a8 appears by Mrxxezr’s fpecimen preferved in the Bankfian

terbarium. Being an annual and not very readily producing

"pe feeds in this country, it was probably of fhort duration ;

and we find no further trace of it, till feeds were brought from

pain, with many other curious plants, by Lord Hotzanp,

Tom whofe colleGion at Holland-Houfe our drawing was

taken in Auguft laft. We believe it has never before been

Sured, Propagated by feeds only.

SaaReeEane

_ Thename of Gesnerta was given to this genus by Prumrer,

In honour of Conrapve Gesner, the celebrated Swifs Na-

turalift, who died of the plague in the forty ninth year of his

age, in his mufeum, whither he direéted himfelf to be removed

a little before he expired.

_The affigning its natural order appears to have been attended

With particular difficulty. Linnaus, in his Fragmenta, had —

arranged

arranged it with the Per/fonate; but Jussreu, in his Genera

Plantarum, removed it far from hence, and placed it with his

— Campanulacee. 3

Though. it differs more efpecially by its fuperior calyx, it

approaches, neverthelefs, both in external appearance and

fenfible qualities to Dic1tatis. We have fometimes obferved

rudiments of a fifth ftamen, which feems to ftrengthen its af-

finity with Cuexons and other Bignonie ; and the hairy bafe

to the filaments and peculiar form of the anthers fhow a rela-

tionfhip with Vexspascum and Cexsra. It has been un-

doubtedly mifplaced by Jussieu, of which he is now fenfible;

and, in a later publication, has dire€ted it to be removed from

his Campanulacee, and inclines, with M. Ricuarp, to unite it

with a few other genera into a new natural order*.

The {pecies here figured grows with an upright ftem, three

or four feet high, bearing its leaves crowded together, towards

the top only; the lower part being naked, but woolly, and

marked with the veftiges of the former foliage. The flowers

grow in corymbs on long footftalks, which iffue from the axils

_ of the leaves.

Native of the Weft-India iflands and the continent of

South-America; obferved by Swartz to grow in fteep de-

clivities on the banks of torrents and rivulets in Jamaica, and

by Jacgurn on the rocks by the fea-fhore in Cuba.

With us it muft be preferved in the bark ftove. Propa-

gated by feeds only. Flowers in moft parts of the year.

Cultivated in the Apothecaries Garden at Chelfea, in the year

1759. Communicated by Mr. LoppicEs.

* This order is diftinguithable by a one-celled fruit, with parietal receptacles,

The Fucusra coccinea, figured at No. 96 of this work, was

at that time treated as a ftove plant, but is now found to be

hardy enough to bear our winters in the open ground; but

then the ftalks generally perifh, and the roots put forth new

oots in the fpring.

The prefent plant, as well as that, is a native of Chili, but re-

quires the proteétion of a greenhoule ; for, when the ftem is

deftroyed by the froft, the plant we believe perifhes altogether,

and will not fhoot up again in the following year.

This gigantic fpecies of MenyYANTHES is a native of New

South-Wales, where it was difcovered by Sir Joseru Banks,

and the plant (from which our drawing was taken) was raifed

from feeds from that country, by Meffrs. WuitLey and

Brame, Old-Brompton. It is an aquatic, and thrives ex-

tremely in the ciftern, near the glafs, in the bark ftove ; but

a greenhoufe would probably be as well fuited to it.

Monf, Venrenat, following the hint given by Gartner,

has feparated Tournerort’s Nymphoides from Menyanthes,

under the name of Vittarsia 3 comprehending in it ia

known fpecies except our Englifh Buckbean or Marth

Trefoil; but as there is no other generic difference, than that

the feeds in the latter are attached to the centre of the valve,

and in the former to its margins, we have not thought it ne-

ceffary to diftinguifh them. With refpe& to the natural order,

VENTENAT appears to us to have done very properly in

Temoving this genus from Jussizu’s Lyjfimachie to his

Gentiane, with which (efpecially with Swertt A) it appears

in the organization of the feed-veffel, at leaft, to have a near

affinity ;. befides that it approaches the plants of this order.

in its fenfible qualities and medical effeéts, : :

In fyftematic arrangement, Menyantues exaltata fhould

immediately precede Menyantues ovata, to which it is very

nearly allied. 3

Flowers in May and June; is propagated by feeds, or

Our plant is evidently not the fame fpecies as the one that.

is there defcribed and figured, which is larger and has narrower

and more pointed leaves, but lefs like thofe of Holly. Speci-

mens of both are preferved in the Bank fian Herbarium ; that of

ilicifolium colleéted on the fouth-weft coaft of New-Holland by

Mr. ArcuiBaLp Menzies, and that of zanum raifed in the

Kew Garden (where it flowered in 1804) from feeds fent from

the fame country by the late Mr. Peter Goon.

The Cuorizema ¢rilobum of Smitu (Putrenaa ilicifolia

of Botanift’s Repofitory, ¢. 320) a plant with appofite leaves

and having, according to the figure, the keel rather longer

than the wings, we fufpeét does not belong to this genus.

Our drawing was taken at Mr. Hissert’s, Clapham-

Common, in July 1806; but the defcription was made from a

plant communicated by Mr. Bucuanan, Nurferyman, at

Camberwell,

woods. The fimbriata of Vaut is fuppofed not to differ from

this fpecies. In faét the folds on the infide of the corolla —

terminate in fmall teeth fomewhat jagged, between the larger

teeth, but owing to the involution of the margins of the larger _

Jaciniz, thefe fmaller teeth do not appear; for the flower

never expands, but remains always clofed at the point; which

circumftance, added to the fize and barrel-like form of the

corolla, at once diftinguifhes it from every other known fpe-

cies. We fufpe&t the Gentiana ochroleuca may be a mere _

variety of this plant, but this we have at prefent no means of

afcertaining. | |

Our fpecimen was furnifhed us by Meflrs, Lez and Ken-

{pecies of this order from that country that has bloomed in any

European garden. Requires the fhelter of a greenhoufe, and

appears to be of eafy culture. Without fcent.

For the above generic and fpecific charaéters we are entirely

indebted to the liberal communication of Mr. Brown; they

are famples that have increafed, if poffible, the eagernefs with

which we have long looked for the publication of the work,

from the manufcript of which they have been extraéted. The

Herbarium of this gentleman contains four other fpecies col-

le&ed by him, while accompanying Captain Fiinpers in his

voyage of difcovery. He has not confidered any of them as ne-

ceffarily congeners of LasiLLarprere’s Genosiris fragilis ;

but has united them in a feparate divifion, under an appellation —

by which he commemorates his friend, Colonel Paterson, the

lieutenant-governor of New South-Wales, a gentleman whole

name has been long familiar to the naturalift.

This genus has the clofeft affinity with Anistra, WITSENIA,

Tareinta, and Diptarrena, between the two firft of which

we fhould place it. Notwithftanding fome apparently material

difcrepancies, upon the face of LastLiarpiere’s defcription

difcrepancies, by the bye, we think are in fome meafure in-

have no doubt but that the latter muft one day merge in the

For an account of the fpecies we have to refer to No. 556

of this work ; to which we have here added other fynonyms

from the works of Vaux and THUNBERG, fince come to our

knowledge. For the {pecimens of the two fine varieties here

_ given, we are indebted to the colle€tion of Meffrs. Lez and

Kennepy, of Hammerfmith ; (z) is a variety we had never

before met with. Both are very fragrant in the evening: (a)

has fometimes four flowers, and is the largeft of the genus

nown to us: (e) comes very near to /rifiis, but has not a

quadrangular leaf. The lower figure in our plate is («); the

Upper and principal one (:). G. 7 :

We think this plant is {carcely fpécifically diftin@ from v7/-

caria, already given No. 587 of this work; but, as it is a —

taller plant than that, with fpiral channelléd leaves, which in thefe

are flatter and not at all twifted; and has befideés a different co-

Toured corolla, as well as green inftead of brownifh branches,

as in vi/caria, we have retained THuxserc’s name and kept

it diftin@.—In the 2d page of No. 696 above, we have de-

fcribed, in an amended fpecific charaéter of Mora vifcaria,

the filaments as connate; in this we were deceived by appear-

ances, and for want of due infpe@tion ; they are completely

diftinét, and entirely the fame as in the prefent fpecies.

Confidering that this plant is a native of tropical countries

only, it is rather remarkable that it fhould have fallen fo early

under the notice of European Botanifts. But being very un-—

common both in the Eaft and Weft-Indies, the fingularity of

the feeds, which are perfe@lly-round, of a deep black colour,

with a large heart-fhaped white fpot, muft have occafioned

their being brought over, as curiofities, and their vegetating

_power being more lafting than in many, the propagation of

*thefe plants was the more eafy, efpecially in the fouthern

“parts of Europe, where ripe fruit would be readily pro-

duced. Our Parkinson, who received the feeds ‘from

Italy, but fufpe&ted’they were not originally of European

growth, fays, “ I did never fee it beare ripe fruite with us,

“no not: tn the hotteft' yeare that I have fowne it.” ats

This plant has been feveral times figured by the older

Botanifts. The original figures are thofe of Tracus, Fucu-_

sius, Matruiotus, and Gesner in Camerarnius; of thele

‘the wooden cut in the folio edition of Fucusius is the beft

-reprefentation of the habit of the plant, that we have feen, and

far more correét than the engravings on copper in Morison,

*Rivertrus, and Rumenius. When the do€trine of figns was

“in vogue, ‘the heart, fo beautifully depiéted on this feed, could

not fail to ftamp it with the credit of curing all affe€tions of this

“organ ; but unfortunately experience very rarely verifies fuch

_ foolifh conceits.

~ “Though an annual-of very flender growth, we are told- by

Dr. Parricx Browne, ‘that it climbs to the tops of the talleft

‘trees in the forefts of Jamaica. Communicated to us by our

friend, Mr. Samurr Curtis, of Walworth, who raifed it

from feeds, fuppofed to have been received from New South-

Wales. This circumftance, though probably a miftake, occa- _

oung plants was kept in the‘moft airy part of the greenhoufe;

by which means they were far more vigorous and healthy than

“ufual, and:ripened their feeds freely. | :

“Itis not only found in‘the Eaft and Weft-Indies, but alfo

near the mouth of the Rio de Janeiro in South-America, 17

the northern parts of New-Holland, in Otaheite, and fome

‘other iffands in'‘the South-Sea. Flowers in July and Augutt.

LEfliv. te Qe

It is upon the authority of the Bankfian Herbarium that we

give this as the Ponta peregrina of Miter: andif Rerzius

has done well in confidering certain of the Linnean varieties

as diftin@ fpecies, this has alfo an equal right; the number

and form of its capfules, combined with the foliage, affording

a fufficient diftinftion. The bright crimfon colour of the

flowers, not at all inclined to purple, was noticed by the

older Botanifts. This is often taken for Pzonta humilis, but

does not at all agree with Rerzius’s defcription of that fpecies,

which has narrower and more divided leaves, and nearly

naked germens and capfules; not at all tomentofe.

The fynonyms quoted by Miter appear to us to be cor-

re&; but we place more confidence in the defcriptions than

in the figures; the accuracy of that of Bester, however,

Jeaves no doubt of the propriety of the fynonym we have

added from his magnificent work.

Though fufficiently hardy to bear our ordinary winters in

the open ground, it is confiderably more tender than the com-

mon Peony. Native of the Levant. |

A hardy perennial, cultivated by Mixtier, in 1759, but

having little beauty to boaft, is rarely met with in our gardens,

It was once however a plant of confiderable intereft; firft

rought into notice by Dr. Tennent, an American phyfician,

asa f{pecific for the bite of the rattle-fnake, a ufe which he

learned of the Indians. He afterwards, from fome analogy in

e fymptoms, tried it in pleurify, with very great fuccefs ;

and it became a remedy in confiderable vogue in Europe as

Well as in America. Dr. TENNENT received a reward from.

the houfe of reprefentatives of Pennfylvania for the difcovery ;

— neverthelefs

neverthelefs it has fallen into difufe, a fate that has generally

attended medicines, which are at firft too highly extolled. It is

however undoubtedly poffeffed of a&ive powers, and is not

unworthy of having its real virtues better afcertained than they

have hitherto been, It varies with white and rofe-coloured

flowers.

This very rare plant can only be diftinguifhed from its con-

gener falcata (fupra No. 566) by the curling or undulation

of the lower leaves, by having ftigmas much fhorter inftead of

equal to or longer than the ftamens, in being altogether a

fmaller plant than that, and in having a different kind of

fragrance, which to us appears to refemble that of the oil of

cloves. In all other refpeéts the defcription and what relates

cinnamomea.

received feeds from M. Ricuarp, the King of France’s gardener

at Verfailles, before the year 1759. It is an annual plant, which

fometimes ripéns its feeds in this country, but not without the

aid of a bark ftove, and then only in favourable feafons; fo

that without a fupply of feeds from abroad, it is conftantly in

danger of being loft. On this account it is rarely met with

in our colleétions, though it poffeffes the. recommendations —

of beauty, fingularity, and, according to fome, of fragrance :

but for the latter quality it will not we apprehend be very

generally applauded.

We received the plant when juft coming into flower in

June laft, from Mr. Loppices of Hackney, and it continued

to thrive and flower freely in a bow window, which has not the

advantage of much fun.

Our drawing of this lively and agreeable Rofe was taken at

Mefirs, Corvitve’s, in the King’s-Road, where it flowered

freely in July laft. We believe that the country owes the

introduétion of this Rofe from China to Mr. Evans, of the

Eaft-India Houfe, by whom it has been liberally diftributed ;

and its flowering has been expefted with fome degree of in-

tereft, as its bloffoms were fuppofed to have been yellow ;

whence

whence the name of Rosa flava in Donn’s Catalogue, if we

do not miftake. There can be no doubt of its being a double

coloured variety of the Rosa mu/tiflora of Japan; with Taun-

BERG'S defcription of which, in his Flora Japonica, it corre-

{ponds in every refpeét, except that he fays the flowers are

white. Had it been an undefcribed fpecies, we fhould have

called it Rosa rudbiflora, as the flowers refemble thofe of the

bramble, not only in external appearance, but in the length of

the ftyles: we have therefore adopted this in our Englith

name. Indeed, without feeing the fruit, it is not poffible to

decide abfolutely whether it belong to the genus Rosa or

Rubus; but on the prefumption that our plant is the fame as

that defcribed by Tuunserc, combined with the general

habit, we refer it to the former genus.

Is propagated by cuttings, but feems in general to be fhy of
