Puitip Mrixier remarked that there were three or four

permanent varieties of this fpecies, which he had not found to

change by cultivation. He enumerates one with white, another

with red, and a third with pale blue flowers and white feeds. -_

The variety figured at No. 1005 of this work is ftill more re-

markable than any of thefe, and has been publifhed by Jacquin

in his Hortus Schoenbrunenfis, v. 3. pl. 261, as a diftin&®

{fpecies, under the name of Ipomaa difcolor, WerINMANN, in

his Phytanthozaiconographia, vol @. tab. 414 and 415, has

figured four varieties, one of which has a confiderable re-

femblance to our prefent plant, having blue and white flowers

with five red bands; but the colours are not fo neatly defined,

being rather in blotches than f{tripes.

The Honourable Witt1tam Hersert communicated the

fpecimen from which our drawing was taken, with a remark

that he had raifed it from. feeds for five generations, without

obferving any difpofition in it to change its characters. We

have however feen fome flowers all white, and in a bed of them

at Mr. Knicut’s exotic nurfery, during the prefent fummer, a

flower of the ufual purple colour upon the very fame ftem

with others like our drawing. This obfervation is decifive with

refpeét to its claim to be confidered as a diftin& fpecies.

Mr. Hersert informs us, that it ripens feeds freely in the

greenhoufe, but not fo readily in the open ground, This

gentleman received the feeds from Cadiz.

Requires the fame treatment as the other varieties.

In the colour and fize of its flowers, our plant correfponds

with the grandiflora of Jacquin, which is probably only a

variety of variabilis, The red colour on the under furface of

the leaves, according to Jacgurn himfelf, is not conftant.

We regret, that not having feen the individual plant from

which our drawing was taken, we had no opportunity of

examining the proportionate length of the ftyles and ftamens,

which Jacguin confiders as a very important and conftant

chara€ter. We received however two pots of Oxatis variabilis,

one with red, the other with white and pale flowers, from

Meffrs. Loppices; many of the flowers of which we examined

with care, but were much difappointed to find that the fituation

of the ftigmas feemed to vary according to circumftances ;

fometimes they were placed below the lower feries of anthers,

fore

more frequently between the two feries, and now and then in

faded flowers above both. :

To us it appeared that, if examined in a very early ftate, the

two feries of anthers were packed clofe together one upon the

other, and the ftigmas were feen in the middle, even with the

upper ones; but that in a-little time the longer ftamens fhot

above them, and the ftigmas paffed out between the filaments,

and were then found above the lower and under the upper

feries of anthers, and when the days were cold, this feemed to

be their permanent fituation ; but when the fun fhone and the

day was warm, or from fome unknown circumftance, the fhorter

filaments likewife fhot up above the ftigmas, and thefe were

found below both feries of anthers. It feemed too that the ftyles

fometimes began to grow after the filaments had ceafed to do fo,

and fhot up beyond the longeft ftlamens; but it was only in

faded flowers that we found the ftigmas in this fituation, and not

often in thefe. :

We had no reafon whatever to fuppofe that there could be

different fpecies in the fame pot; yet, when we find fo ex-

perienced a Botanift as Jacquin, afferting that he had paid the

greateft attention to this fubje€t for five fucceflive years, and

had examined a thoufand individuals without finding the charaéter

vary, in the fame fpecies, in a fingle inftance, we hefitate to put

the {fame confidence in our few experiments, as we fhould

otherwife have done, and muft leave it to farther inveftigation. .

This magnificent plant, of the liliaceous tribe, flowered laft

fummer in the greenhoufe of the Right Hon. Cuarxes Lone,

at Bromley-Hill, in Kent; probably for the firft time in Europe,

except the fingle flower produced from a portion of the ftem,

without roots, which had been cut many months before in New-

Holland, and from which chiefly M. Correa eftablifhed the

us.

__ From this plant we fketched the following brief defcription. —

Radical leaves about a hundred, four feet long, fword-fhaped,

{mooth, quite entire, with a very narrow cartilaginous margin,

lower ones recurved, the others ere&t. From the centre of thefe-

grew the fiem, or /cape, quite ftraight, ten or twelve feet high,

clothed with linear-lanceolate acute /eaves fheathing the ftem at

their bafe and fpreading upwards. Flowers of a deep crimfon

or morone colour, colleéted in a roundifh terminal bead, fur-

rounded at the bafe by large, ovate-acuminate, green braées ;

within there were other lanceolate braétes, of the fame colour

with the flowers, and feparating thefe into fafcicles of two, three,

or four ; two ftill narrower braétes accompanied each individual

flower the length of the germen and peduncle. Lacinie of the

corolla fix, tongue-fhaped, obtufe with a nipped point. Filaments

fubulate, fhorter than the corolla, to which they are adnate or

: foldered,

foldered at the lower part: Axtbers the length of the free part

of the filament, ere€t, four-cornered, hollowed at the bafe and

affixed over the point of the filament like an extinguifher,

covered with a dark green pollen. Germen ftraight, obfcurely

three-cornered : Style three-furrowed : Stzgma three-lobed.

In the figure of the flower given in the Tranfaéions of the

Linnean Society, the germen is very much curved, which does

not feem to be natural to the plant.

We were informed that the ftem began to fhoot the preceding

fummer, and reached to the height of three or four feet; that —

then, the winter coming on, it remained quiefcent till the fol-

lowing fpring, when it again refumed its growth, and the flowers

began to expand by the end of July.

fegments narrow, channelled, pale underneath; lower cauline

leaves fimilar; floral 2—g-partite, or even fimple. Flowers

alternate on peduncles varioufly lengthened, diftant, of a fine

azure colour {potted with a dull red. Petals nine in two feries :

five outer ones ovate, four of them equal, the upper one larger

and lengthened behind into a rugofe fpur with a bifid point : of the

four inner petals (neéfarium) two are very {mall, flethy, upright,

rigid, channelled : two are nearly orbicular, with an yrs =P claw,

at the bafe of whichis a fmall hooked appendix; thefe are re-

flefted fo as to cover completely the organs of weauar

~ and are ornamented near the claw with a yellow flightly bearded

fpot. Stamens many: filaments flat, narrowed upwards, and

reflexed : antbers ovate, attached by the back, black with white

pollen. Germens three, approximate, filky. Cap/ules three, erett,

villous. Sy

In the common Larkfpur (Delphinium Confolida) the four

petals of the ne@tarium are united into one and terminate behind

in a fpur fheathed by that of the upper petal: in all the fpecies

thefe parts vary materially in form and number. In this and

the related genus Aconitum, JUsstEU confiders the outer

petals as calyx, and gives the name of petals to what Linn aus

calls nedaria.

A double variety of this fpecies is very common in our

gardens, and much admired for the {plendid blue colour of its

flowers. But the plant in its natural fingle ftate has been a

defideratum, and has been only lately introduced from Ruffia,

by Meffrs, Wuttiey, Brams, and Miune, of the Fulham

Nurfery. We have likewife feen it at the Exotic Nurfery,

King’s-Road. Native of Siberia; a hardy perennial; propa-

gated by parting its roots and by feed.

Parkinson, by whom this rare and fingular coloured

{pecies was cultivated amongft us nearly two centuries back, has

been the firft to record it. Subfequently to him, we do not

find that it has been noticed, until enrolled under its pre-

fent title in “ The Obfervations on the Vegetables of Morocco”

by Mr. Scuoussoz, a Danifh Botanift, who found it growing

: {pontancoufly

fpontaneoufly on the Coaft of Barbary and on the “ meutra}

ground,” between Gibraltar and St. Roque, in 1791—3. Its

natural feafon of flowering, like that of Narcissus /erotinus,

(a fpecies from the fame parts and of nearly fimilar cco-

nomy) is the latter-end of autumn. In /erotinus the corolla is

white, /egmenis elliptically lanceolate, crown orange-coloured,

leaves linear, channelled, /cape ftriate, and fomewhat edged.

Like* viridiflorus, it has difappeared in our gardens, although

it feems to have been the more generally known of the

two, and was ftill in them in the time of Mriuer. The

fpecimen from which our prefent drawing was made, had

been imported from Spain, by Dr. Tuompson, and flowered

this fummer, for the firft time, in Mr, Grirrin’s colleétion,

at South-Lambeth, G., :

NOTE.

Narcissus TRILOBUS. Supra No. 945.

In the fecond edition of the Hortus Kewenfis, this plant

appears under the fpecific name of wutans, with a note that

denies its being the ¢rilobus of Linnaeus, We fhall not

arraign the reafoning, on which the denial is founded; our

friend, the excellent and learned writer of it, is now no more.

We fhall only ftate, that we know that he had never feen the

plant; and that its identity with frilobus had been determined by

comparifon with the {pecimen of that fpecies in the Linnean

Herbarium. To any one who faw the plant, we are perfuaded

the defcription contained in the ** Species Plantarum,” would alone

decide the point. Although Linnaus calls it /rilobus; he

fays in the fpecific charafter, that the crown is * fubtrifid,” and

Sesamum éndicum and orientale appear to have their fynonymy

extremely confufed. Of the older figures in wood, thofe

which we have quoted are all copied from the original one of

Marrtuio.ius; and appear to us properly to belong to this

{pecies, though generally referred to orientale, of which we know

of no reprefentation but that in the Hortus Malabaricus and the

one in wood in Cameranius’s Hortus copied by Parkinson,

and diminutively by Joun Bauuin.

rae “ : Rumpr

Rumpr defcribes the leaves to be three-lobed at the bottom

of the plant, ferrated in the middle, and quite entire or only

{inuate at the upper part; but acknowledges that, in all thefe

refpeéts, they are fubject to vary; their form feems therefore

to be of little ufe in determining the fpecies. The lower

leaves of our plant were three-lobed. In the Hortus

Malabaricus Szsamum orientale is drawn with leaves and

peduncles alternate; in all the figures which we have quoted,

as fynonyms of our plant, they are oppofite, as they have been

in all the genuine {pecimens that we have feen, except a little

occafional deviation, and even then the difpofition to remain

oppolite has been very evident.

Both this fpecies and ortentale are much cultivated in Egypt,

and in the Eaft and Weft-Indies, for the fake of the oil procured

from the feeds, which is of the moft extenfive ule, and is faid

to grow more mellow and agreeable with age.

Our drawing was made from a weak plant which flowered at

Mr. Vere’s, of Kenfington-Gore, in Auguft 1819. The fketch

of the feed-veflels was added laft {ummer from a much ftronger

plant which grew quite ere, the produce of the fame feeds. It

is a tender annual, requiring to be raifed and invigorated by

renewed hot-beds, to bring it to perfe€tion in this country. e

_ Rupr mentions two varieties of Szesamum indicum, one

with white the other with black feeds; we are informed by

Mr. Anperson, that the feeds of our plant are of a yellowifh

white colour, and were fent from Jamaica under the name of

We received a very fine fpecimen of this beautiful plant in

flower, feveral years ago, from our friend Tuomas Furry

Forster, Efq. but we could not make it expand any of the

buds, though covered with a bell-glafs and a bright fun; and

-confequently, from the fugitive nature of the bloffom, we could

not at that time get a drawing made of it. This fpecimen,

however, afforded us the opportunity of obferving that the

anther burft, and difcharged its globular pollen, before the ex-

panfion of the flower, and whilft it was clofely embraced by the

membranous ftigma. This accounts for the circumftance, men-

tioned in the generic character, of the ftyle being bent away

from the anther; for this organ having already fhed its pe

: jad

could be of no further ufe. At every joint of the peduncle is a

purplifh-coloured concave braéte, which drops off before the

flower is fully opened.

This elegant aquatic is generally confidered as a ftove plant,

and may probably require that affiftance to bring it into blof-

fom; but, being a native of the {wamps of South-Carolina, we

prefume it would be better to preferve it in the greenhoufe

through the winter, and remove it into the bark-ftove at its

feafon of flowering. -

Juss1eu includes Tuatra in the natural order of Scitaminee,

Maranta, Thalia, Phrynium, and perhaps Myrofma; and are

diftinguifhed from the true Scitaminee, by their fimple anther,

BRASSIA maculata. Brown Mf. Hort. Kew. ed. alt. 5. Pp. 215+

The genus ErrpenpRuM, as originally conftituted, through

the difcovery of a great number of additional {pecies, had be-

come not only too cumberfome, but contained fo many plants,

with the parts of fruétification fo differently. framed, as to

require being feparated into diftinét genera; a tafk undertaken,

with confiderable fuccefs, feveral years ago, by Prof. Swartz,

and which has been farther elucidated by the labours of Rosert

Brown, Efg. in the new edition of Arron’s Hortus Kewenfis.

Our prefent plant is placed by Mr. Brown between Cym-

gipium and OncipiuM, and diftinguifhed from both princi-

pally by the colwmna, with which in the former genus the

The genus Losrxra, as now conftituted, contains fo many

{pecies, feveral of which differ fo materially in the parts of fruéti-

fication, that they might with great advantage be feparated.

Our prefent plant is nearly related to Logeiia lutea; {ee

No. 1319, where the remarkable difference that exifts between

that plant and the reft of the genus is pointed out. We be-

lieve that Mr. Sarissury has erefted thefe two plants into a

diftin& genus, but we do not know that he has publifhed any

thing on the fubje&t. We therefore leave them for the prefent

under Lozetta. It is much to be wifhed that fome Botanift,

who has fufficient opportunity, would go through the whole

order.

Losexia varitfolia differs from lutea, not only in foliage and

habit, but in having a tripartite fligma, which in the Jatter is |

bipartite ; but whether this diftin@ion is conftant muft remain

uncertain till an opportunity fhall offer of examining a greater

In reading over the defcriptions of the authors above quoted,

there appears to be confiderable contradiftion exifting in their

founding this {pecies with E. malaccenfis ; or there may be dif-

ferent varieties or fpecies. Rumpr defcribes our plant as one

of the wild forts of Jamsosa, diftinguifhing it from the do-

meftic, or Evcenra malaccenfis of liecti by its {fmaller

fize, crooked growth of the ftem, and auftere, round-comprefled

fruit, which he fays is feldom eaten in Amboyna, being lefs

juicy, more infipid, and leaving a bitterifh tafte on the palate.

From the crooked growth, the wood is chiefly ufed for the

ribs of fhips. ,

‘In the Hortus Malabaricus, the flowers are defcribed as at

quiring an acid or vinous fmell; and the fruit is faid to be fweet

that thofe plants which have flowers on long peduncles, refleéted

nearly feffile flowers, as in the two figures in Lamarcx’s IIluftra-

it doubtful to which fpecies they ought to be referred: perhaps,

therefore, they may be all merely varieties of the fame.

The purple PerarosTeMUM, as an ornamental flower, is by

no means defpicable, but is more remarkable for its fingular

ftru€ture : being a diadelphous plant without any proper corol/a,

having nine united and one detached filament, as is moft ufual in

the clafs. But the alternate filaments are barren, coloured, and

expanded at top into a petal-like appendix. The folitary fila-

ment is longer than the reft, channelled on the upper fide, co-

loured, and expanded into a boat-fhaped extremity ; which as it

occupies the place of, fo it feems a fort of attempt towards, the :

formation of a vexillum. The fertile filaments are longer than

the others and farther detached than is ulual: the anthers are

nearly globular, and abound with a bright apes ge Om

pollen. The unripe germen certainly contains two ovula, but

one feed only probably comes to perfection. The calyx is in-

flated, white, five-toothed: teeth hairy.

That this plant has no real corolla was remarked by Tuomas

Nutra, Efg. who firft introduced it to this country. We.

received living fpecimens from this gentleman in the autumn of

1813, which flowered in the open ground, near Liverpool, but

from the abfence of our draughtfman could not get it drawn at

that time. We are informed by Mr. Nurtat, that this plant

forms one of the principal decorations of the vaft plains of the

Illinois, Tennaflée, and Louifiana, but its native country ap-

pears to be particularly in the upper part of this laft ftate, to

the bafe of the rocky mountains or Northern Cordillera, from

whence it has been propagated eaftward by the great rivers that

meander through thele regions.

‘Colleéted by Mr. Nurrat, in the vicinity of St. Louis,

Jat. 38° 49”.

Our drawing was taken at Meflrs. Fraser’s American

Nurlery, Sloane-Square, laft October. It isa tolerably hardy

perennial, but requires to be proteéted from froft.

The genus Baunint1a was named by Piumrer, in honour

of Joun and Caspar Baunin, the moft celebrated Botanifts

of their day; and Linnvus has ingenioufly conneéled the

plant with the name, by comparing the two lobed leaves, or

as it were two leaves iffuing from the fame bafe, with the

above-named _

above-named pair of noble brothers. Such allufions ferve at

leaft to rivet the name in the memory.

.. This fpecies and divaricata are both monandrous, or have in

general only one fertile ftamen, which is diftinét, and much

ftouter and longer than the other nine conneéted filaments

without anthers, or with only imperfe& ones. It happens, how-

ever, that now and then one or another filament grows longer

than the reft, and has a {mall polliniferous anther.

Native of the Weft-Indies. The leaves appear to vary con-

fiderably. One fpecimen in the Bankfian Herbarium, from the

Ifland of St. Kitts, has leaves with obtufe lobes exatily re-

fembling thofe of our plant, others are {harper and more

_ lengthened at the point.

Communicated by our friend Joun Wanker, Efq. of

Arno’s-Grove, in O€tober laft.

Varies, according to Sir Hans SLoan E, with red and with

variegated. flowers, The wood is very hard and veined with

black, hence the name of Ebony. 3

Mr. Brown, in the new edition of the Hortus Kewenfis,

has divided the old genus CuziRANTHUS into feveral genera,

devoting a part thereof to the commemoration of the celebrated

commentator on Diofcorides, Peter ANp. Martutotus;

the former genus, affigned to him by Prumrer, having been

proved to be the fame with Gurrtarpa. This genus con-

tains, befides the prefent plant, Cue1raNTuus incanas fene-

firalis ; finuata ; tricufpidata ; parviflora ; &c.

The leaves of the Perstan Stock, are extremely variable

in their figure, being fometimes quite entire, —— -

ou ightly

flightly toothed, but more frequently finuately pinnatifid, and

always much the broadest towards the point. The whole plant

is tomentafe.

This fpecies has great affinity with Marrurora (Cuer-

RANTHUS) friflis, 729 of this work; and, like it, does better

treated as a greenhoufe plant, than expofed to our winters in

the open ground. The flowers are much larger and of a brighter

colour than thofe of #rifis; and have the fame fragrant fmell

after fun-fet.

Our drawing was taken from a plant communicated by Mr.

Satissury, from the Botanic Garden, in Sloane-Street, in

May laft. We were favoured with fine {pecimens the year

before, by Mr. Wuittey, from the Fulham Nurfery.

Introduced to the Kew Garden, by the Right Hon, Sir

Joszrs Banks, Bart. K. B, in 1797.

forms the principal part of the flower ; and, difperfed amongft

the green foliage in every part of the fhrub, gives it a pretty

lively appearance, It continues in bloffom almoft throughout the

mixed together.

and frequently the {plendour of their flowers; the beauty of

which confifts chiefly in the involucrum.

of propagation, and not lefs fo of prefervation. But our mo-

dern cultivators have arrived at a better mode of treatment

than was known in the days of Purt1p Mixer. Mr. Joseru

Knicut, in an Effay on the Cultivation of the Natural Order

of Protez, has given very full dire€tions for their management ;

and ftill more ample details may be found in the fecond edition

of the Exotic Gardener, by J. Cusuinc, foreman to Mefirs.

Lez and Kennepy. We are obliged for the following fatis-

fa&tory

faftory mode of managing them, to Mr. R. Sweet, late of the

Stockwell Nurfery, where we have obferved thefe plants to

look remarkably well.

Cultrvation of the Natural Order of PROTEACE &-

In the firft place, it is neceffary that the pots fhould be well

drained ; for which purpofe, place over the hole in the bot-

tom a piece of potfherd, then place another piece againft it, fo

as to leave a hollow ; after that put in a handful of potfherd,

broken into pieces not larger than peas, and over thefe pieces

ftill fmaller, till the

pot is nearly one third-part full. This is

applicable to the management of plants of almoft every family ;

for, by thefe means, the water foaks gradually off, and the

mould is not allowed to get fodden.

In the next place, for the genera Protea, Leucadendron,

Leucofpermum, Spatalla, Sorocephalus, and Aulax; (vide

Brown's Proteaceae in the Tran/aétions of the Linnean Society, vol. 10.)

all the {pecies delight in a compofition of rather more than one-

third fand, and the reft light loam without any peat. The

genera Serruria, Nivenia, Grevillea, Hakea, Petrophila, Ifo-

pogon, Bankfia, Dryandra, Lomatia, and Telopea, fucceed beft

in three parts of peat, two parts loam, and one part fand.

When potted, they do not require any particular care more than

other gréenhoufe plants, except to let them have plenty of air,

to avoid letting them flag for want of water, and never to water

them over the leaves in cloudy weather, =

With regard to their propagation, let the wood be firft

ripened, then take off the cuttings as nearly as poffible between

the laft and prefent year’s {hoot, pare them fmooth, and plant

them in a pot of fand, not too clofe together, as they are apt to

get the damp amongft them, which readily fpreads from one to

another. Let the pots be then placed in the propagation-

houfe, watering them whenever they want it, but not over the

leaves. In this. way Mr. Swerr has never found any of the

fuppofed difficulty in ftriki any of this natural order; and

even Telopea, the Embathrium peciofifimum of the Botanical

Magazine, he finds to ftrike as readily as any. .

fhrub of fmall ftature, firft defcribed and figured by Sir James

from a living fpecimen, in a volume of traéts relating to natura!

hiftory, naming it in honour of Curistran Conran SpreEn-

GEL, Profeflor of Botany at Halle.

The flowers, which are very numerous, are produced at the

extremities of the fhort branches, and are of long continuance.

The calyx and corolla being much alike, and the lacinia of

the latter, which are nearly white, with a pink tinge, exact!

alternating with the fegments of the calyx, of a deeper ro

colour, give a brilliancy to what might otherwife be confidered

as rather an infignificant flower, thse

This plant is well defcribed by Smirxu; but, according to

Brown, the corolla is at firft monopetalous, with a very fhort

tube, though it is finally divided to the bafe. The latter author

has ‘defcribed two fpecies, in the firft of which only, our prefent

plant, the anthers are ‘coherent; a circumftance which entirely

deftroys the value of this chara€ter.

Descr. Stem a low, upright, pyramidal, branched fhrub.

Leaves four together, oblong, ciliated at the edge with Riff

fhort hairs, which are branched at the point of the leaf only, as

far as we have obferved, and there barely vifible to the naked

eye. Flowers, which are of a bright rofe colour, grow at the

extremities of the branches, either fingly, or more generally

four together ; but on the leading branches, the fhoot growing

out beyond them, the flowers become in confequence axillary.

Calyx of four fubulate leaflets, ciliated at the edge and coloured

at the tip ; braétes two, clofe to and like the calyx, but only

half the length; there is a third at the bafe of the very fhort

peduncle, but this we rather regard as the terminal leaf, from

the axil of which the peduncle grows; nor is it coloured li

the other two. Corolla urceolate : tube about an inch long, di-

lated and fomewhat diaphanous at the bafe, contraéted upwards:

laciniz of the limb ovate-acute with the margins more or lefs

rolled inwards. laments almoft-as fine as a fpider’s thread:

anthers beardlefs, within the tube. Germen oblong, without

glands at the bale: figma dark purple, nearly globular, without

the tube.

This plant has very near affinity with Erica ¢enuiflora of the

Hortus Kewenfis, from which it differs, not only in the colour

of its flowers, but in having ciliated leaves and an exferted

fligma. In many refpeéts it correfponds alfo with Erica

Jerrulata, though the form of the corolla removes it into a dif-

ferent fection.

Our drawing was made from a plant communicated by

Mr. R. Sweet. We have been favoured alfo with a fpeci-

men of the fame, from Meffrs. Lez and Kennepy, under

the name that we have adopted, and from which our defcrip-

tion was taken.

AZALEA calendulacea. Hort, Kew. Epit. inter addenda,

The flowers of this variety refemble very much thofe of

- Azaxea pontica, but are without fcent. They are confiderably

larger than any of the varieties of AzaLEA mdiflora ; and the

plant itfelf forms a loftier fhrub. In a genus which is numerous

and fo exceedingly difpofed to run into varieties, it is extremely

difficult to find good fpecific charaéters; the hairy calyx and

tube fhorter than the border of the corolla, diftinguifh it from

coccinea, (No. 180.) to which in foliage it is moft nearly allied.

The flower is not entirely free from clamminefs. The flame-

coloured variety is faid by Mr, Purss to be, without —-

the handfomeft fhrub in North-America. This author refers to

Bartranm’s Travels, p. 321, where we find a fhrub fpoken of

with flowers like a RuopopenpRon, but in fruit more re-

fembling an Azavea. But this would appear to be very dif-

ferent from either of the above varieties, as the corolla is faid

to be white with narrow fegments. Mr. Wittiam Bartram,

however, and probably with juftice, claims the firft difcovery

of this plant, as appears by a fpecimen in poffeffion of Sir

jJoseru Banks, collected by that traveller, about the year 1774,

accompanied with remarks; in which, in his ufual florid ftyle,

he obferves, that * it is the moft brilliant, fhewy, and gay flower-

ing fhrub, perhaps, in the world; it grows four, fix, or eight

feet high, increafes greatly by fuckers, and the flowers. make a

mott {plendid fhow in the vaft plains, and on the fides of the

hills, in Weft-Georgia and lower Cherokee country, in the

months of April and May. The flowers are of all fhades, from

a pale cream colour to a fplendid golden yellow, orange, and

moft perfeét {carlet or flame colour; and all thefe colours are

fometimes feen on different branches of the fame plant, as well

as on feparate plants, but a rofe-blufh or purple tint never oc-

curs in the flowers of this fpecies.”

Our drawing was made in the beginning of June 1812, from

a plant brought over by Mr. Lyons; we received fpecimens

alfo from Meffrs. Fraser’s American Nurfery, and from

Mefirs. Loppices and Sons,

Wittpenow has expreffed a doubt whether the figures of

than to dupleurifolium. The latter was probably intended for

neither, but is too bad to be referred with certainty to any

thing; but Periver’s is really good, for a mere outline, and

undoubtedly reprefents our plant. Hepysanum gramineum in

Hortus Herrenhufen, does not appear to be different; and

Rerzius’s defcription of the fame accords both with Rox-

BURGH'’S and our figure of dupleurifolium. We cannot but con-

clude therefore that thefe plants in reality make but one fpecies,

and that gramineum ought to be expunged from the fyftem.

As this plant is a native of New South-Wales in Auftralafia,

this circumftance, in itfelf, leads to a fufpicion that it ought to

be confidered as a genus diftin& from Co.utea, otherwife we

own that we fhould hardly have been fatisfied with the charaéters

by which the two genera are attempted to be diftinguifhed. The

only contrafted points given in the Hortus Kewenfis are, that

the ftigma in Swainsona is terminal, in Coturea lateral ;

and the flight difference in the confiftence of the Legumen,

which appears to us not very remarkable after maturity.

It was undoubtedly impoffible to feparate Swainsona

from Coxurea, whilft fruticofa and berbacea, which fwerve

much more remarkably from the European fpecies, remained

attached to the latter. Thefe are confequently raifed into

diftin&t genera by Mr. Brown. Sy

The other fpecies of this genus has been already figured in

the Botanical Magazine, under the name of Coturtes (now

Swainson) galegifolia (vide N™ 792.) Both fpecies, the only

ones known in our gardens, though eafily diftinguifhed by the

colour of their flowers, are botanically charaéterized, only by

the difference of length of the pedicle of the feed-pod.
