There isa considerable confusion in the synonyms of

this ies which we have taken some pains to elucidate.

Whether Carcrotaria rugosa and integrifolia of our gar-

dens are really distinct species we will not take 7 us

positively to decide, we have seen plants under both these

names at the Fulham nursery, and have been favoured

with specimens of both by Mr. Mine; but, although,

when growing together, the eye could distinguish a some-_

what different aspect in the two, particularly that the

colour of the flowers was somewhat paler in the oe

yet, upon careful examination, we consider them as mere

varieties.

According to Sir James E. Smrru, the C. integra of the

13th edition of the Systema Vegetabilium, depends solely

on the authority of Frumiisz, and that the one described

under that name by the younger Linnzus in the Supple-

mentum Plantarum, from the Paris garden, and of which

Sir James has given a figure in his icones, is totally differ-

ent. To this latter he has since, in the new Systema Vege-

tabilium of Rozmer and Scuurres, assigned the specific

name of ovata instead of integrifolia which was given to

it in the Icones.

We have quoted the integrifolia of the Botanical Register

with an expression of doubt, because it appears by the

figure to be much more pubescent, a character which is

extended even to the corolla. Our plant was free from all

pubescence except a slight villosity on the upper branches,

peduncles, and calyx; and the leaves, on the underside,

are somewhat ferruginous ; but, after all, it may be re-

marked, that cultivated plants, in general, are known to

vary extremely in the degree of pubescence, which they

may possess under spontaneous growth.

The most remarkable feature in all the varieties of this

plant is the globular form of the under lip, and the lid-like

shape of the upper, and their meeting so near together as

to leave only a narrow slit between them; and the margin

of the under lip being often crenulate, gives sometimes the

resemblance of a grinning monkey-like mouth.

CALCEOLARIA is a very extensive South American genus,

of which no fewer than fifty-five species are recorded ; some

of these, however, may be only varieties. Of this number

only two seem to have been known to Linnaus, viz. pin-

nata and integrifolia. Since the discovery of so many

more species, the latter name, which will apply to so many

of them, may very well be suffered to become obsolete,

org abalany our present plant has probably the best claim

it.

CaLcEOLARIA rugosa is a native of Chili, appears to be

annual, and to be propagated only by seeds. It was intro-

duced into this country, with so many other plants from

that country, through the agency of Francis Pxace, Esq.

Our drawing was taken in June last, froma specimen

communicated by Mr. Kyicur, of the exotic nursery;

Desc. “Herb a vascular, lactescent, biennial? aquatick,

with fasciculated, fibrous roots. Leaves flat, oval, quite

_€ntire, but somewhat undulate, obtuse, very smooth,

fteen-nerved : lateral nerves approximate, terminated at

the point with a largish pore, secreting water: Petiole three-

sided, sheathing at the base, purple at the lower part, and

green at the upper, twice as long as the leaf. Scape three-

Sided, the length of the leaves, and like them, decumbent,

purple, green at the top. Umbel 6-7-flowered (our draw-

#0 was unfortunately taken from a scape showing ony S

single flower): Spathe of several bractes, which are oval,

acuminate, membranaceous, one to each flower. Flowers

yellow, pedunculated, opening at noon, and in the even- —

ing, at first erect, afterwards deflexed: Peduncles three-

sided, enlarged upwards, with reddish angles. Calyx three-

leaved, green: leaflets oval, concave, obtuse, opposed to

the sides of the peduncle, after deflorescence conniving ©

over the petals, in exstivation imbricate. Petals three, —

twice the size of the calyx, very thin, roundish, semidia- —

phanous, nerved, wrinkled, yellow, colour more intense at —

the base ; after deflorescence gradually rolled inwards ’till —

they are inclosed within the calyx. Stamens very many, —

yellow, inserted into the disk in several rows, longer than —

the ovarium (germen) ; Filaments ligular, outer ones ste- —

rile, inner ones perfect, connivent over the stigmas: An- —

thers, small, white, attached to the front of the filament, —

two-celled: cells approximate, bursting lengthwise. Pollen —

spherical, naked. Ovariwm (Germen L.) oval, with sixteen’ —

streaks. Stigmas sixteen, sessile, radiating just in the same’

manner as in Nympuaa.” Fruit (not quite ripe when ex- —

amined) globular marked, with the persistent stigmas in —

rays, easily separable into sixteen capsules or carpella, with —

membranous sides slightly connected together at the centre —

and more firmly at the base, when separated opening on ~

the inner edge to discharge the seeds. Seeds oblong, sca-

brous, bent like a horse-shoe, with the two ends meeting —

and united, attached to the membranous sides of the car- —

pella; according to M. Ricuarp, the embryo takes the

same horse-shoe form.

~ We had no opportunity of examining this plant when —

growing, and are indebted for the above description to the —

kindness of Mr. Linpxey for the use of his manuscript latin —

notes. ‘These were taken before the formation of the fruit’; —

but the communication, by the same gentleman, ofa recent —

unripe fruit, enabled us to add the description of that also. —

‘The genus Limnocnaris has been very properly detached —

from Atisma by Humsotpr and Bonrxanp, from which it~

differs entirely in the number of stamens, and also in having —

numerous seeds, with a parietal insertion. In the latter

character it resembles the genus Buromus. ALIsMA was

placed by Jussieu in his natural order of Junci; but Ds

Canpo.te established a family of Alismacee, in which he

has been followed by Mr. Rosert Brown. M. Ricard —

has again separated three genera, viz. Butomus, HypRo-_

cLeys, and Limnocuaris, and made of them a distinct fa-_

mily, to which he has applied the name of Butomee, an —

order adopted by Kunrn, in his Synopsis. : si

ower. It flowered m July, in the green-house, at Spof-

forth. This plant belongs to the group which stands under |

the name Monella in our Appendix. We have described —

it under the name Cyrtanthus agreeably to the wish ex- —

pressed by the editor, —_ - ae that ~ mane, ae

roperly belongs to Cyrtanthus Obliquus, Id be pre- |

a ed to the cer division. We conceive, however, that

where no great inconvenience’ results, plants improperly —

added to a genus should be detached, under a new name, —

and not supplant the species on which it was founded. This —

species, however, brings Cyrtanthus and Monella nearer —

together, being ribbed between the filaments, though its -

ribs are straight ; whereas in C. obliquus they are oblique, —

and coalesce, and the filaments inserted in them. The cha-

racter above given, using the words infra faucem instead of —

prope faucem, will include C. obliquus with Monella;. the

main difference in C. obliquus, besides the oblique ribs, is, —

the insertion of the filaments in the mid region of the tube, —

which, in Monella (appendix), are inserted nearer to its

mouth; and. we do uot feel quite satisfied that. either of —

ore points furnishes an invariable generic character, a3_

e filaments are not inserted acai at the same depth —

in all the species of Monella. Amongst the Amaryllidee —

the insertion of the filaments within, or without, or at the —

exact termination of the tube, the insertion equally , or al- —

ternately, or at graduated depths, furnishes a decisive

neric feature; but the greater or less distance from the

mouth is indefinite, and may vary in different species. C.

striatus: was imported from the Cape, by the late Mr. Lee, —

and sold by him to many persons, labelled Amaryllis falcata, _

by the error of the collector. It was supposed'at first to

It appears, from the observations of Mr. Rozert Brown,

to be very doubtful if there are any real distinctive cha-

sacters between Vorkameria and CLeropenprum, and most,

if not all, of the species which were once referred to the

ormer genus, have been more lately united to the latter.

“ae Species however, of which our present subject is one,

differ remarkably from others, in the greater irregularity of

Separate genus. ; :

: ur plant has a near affinity with sb cpm ae

_ 1NNaus, but differs in having opposite leaves, tomen- —

‘ose underneath. One of the Sines united with that

‘pecies in the Banksian Herbarium appears toagree nearly

th our plant, but another with much narrower Jeaves in

| te same collection agrees better in the form of its leaves

ith the Linnean character, and we think that both can

y be united under the same species. In the Lambertian

- Herbarium is a specimen of VotKameria serrata, on the

authority of Dr. Francis Haminron, which has its leaves _

growing by threes, and branches less decidedly quadrangu- |

lar than in our plant: this is evidently the same as the

T'sserom-Tuexa of the Hortus Malabaricus vol. 4. ¢. 29. |

But in our present subject, besides the above-mentioned _

difference in the leaves, and more decidedly quadrangular’

branches, the fifth lacinia of the corolla is more different _

from the other four, forming a labellum distinct in colour

and form. :

CreropEnproum belongs to the natural order of Verbenacee

of Jussieu and Brown, formerly called Vitices in the Genera

Plantarum of the former author.

genus Zephyranthes in the Botanical Register, under the

article above quoted, we find “‘ Perianthium verticale.” It

is however stated in the same article, that the flowers

“have a vertical, or nearly vertical position.” As far_

as our observations extend, the flowers in this genus are

always nearly vertical, but never actually so. In our

first definition of the genus, in the Appendix, we stated,

that the germen and tube were not continued in a straight

line from the peduncle. In the character of the genus in

this article we have used the word suberecti, which will

be more correct than verticales. The capsule is vertical,

and the germen becomes so when the seed begins to set.

of the Botanical Register lately figured Srenomesson flavum

of our Appendix (Pancratium Ruiz and Pavon) under the

name Curysopaiata, adding to the genus our CarpopeTEs

and Lereriza. If our character appeared to limit the ge-_

nus’ by an insignificant feature, our name might have been —

justly rejected; but there is no ground for substituting

another founded on the same feature with the same mean-

_ ing and limitation. Stenomesson means narrowest in the

middle, referring to the form of the tube ; Chrysophiala is :

explained to mean a gold-coloured hour-glass, with refer-

ence.to the same feature, a name otherwise objectionable, —

since phiala is not an hour-glass, and only one of the known

species is yellow. The editor has not even noted to which

of the: three genera quoted from our Appendix the plant

belongs, and adds, that he cannot comprehend our refine-

ments. The three genera ate, however, named. from three

important features in. which they differ, and cannot. be, con-

founded. Stenomesson having the tube constricted and

narrowest in the middle; Carpodetes having the germet

and fruit constricted in the middle. Leperiza having nel

ther of those features, but the bulb scaly like a martagoD. —

Carpodetes and Leperiza are as much excluded from the —

genus Chrysophiala, as defined in the Botanical Register, a5 _

they were from our Stenomesson, since Chrysophiala’ iS

there defined as having “the tube above and below broader,’

constricted near the middle,” and “ filaments straight and

erect >’ Carpodetes, as esented by Ruiz and Pavon,

has the lower part of phe s = chaldor and cylindrical;

Leperiza has the tube broadest at bottom and narrowest

at the mouth, and the filaments sinuosely curved. W. H.

We have no doubt but this is a distinct species from

Sinaller size of the flowers, but because the petals, though

the margins are undulated the whole length, and the petals

are quite erect and not recurved at the point, as in this.

curved at the end, as in superba; but perhaps this may

de upon the position of the stem. _

Aristotocuta labiosa is a handsome climber, the leaves

being of a delicate lively green and the flowers very large,

beautifully variegated, and of a grotesque form; but its

scent is very offensive, resembling that of some of the Sta- |

pelias, and not very unlike the smell of decayed fish.

For an opportunity of offering to our readers a drawing

of this very rare plant, we are indebted to the Count bE |

VanpeEs, in whose splendid collection at Bayswater, this

plant flowered in the hot-house, in September 1824. It is

a native of Brazil, from whence it was introduced into the

Kew Gardens, by Messrs. Cunnincuam and Bowze, the

king’s collectors. —_-

From a careful comparison of Father Fruriér’s figure

and description, we see very little reason to doubt but our |

plant is the same species as his, and consequently the |

Losevia Tupa of Linnaus, who probably. took it up from |

that figure only. Although this represents the leaves as |

being quite entire, yet in the description, FEvmLyéie ob- |

serves, that the margins are serrate, with very small incon: |

- spicuous teeth, as is the case in our plant, though out |

draughtsman by a contrary fault has made the serrature

much more evident than in fact they were.

This plant differs altogether from our Lozexia gigantes

the Tupa of the Hortus Kewensis. The inflorescence espe _

cially of that plant is totally different, the flowers growing

in the axils of leaves twice the length of the peduncles ant

whole flowers together. 3

Lozetia, Tupa is a very handsome species, but if

poisonous as represented by Fruitiéz, would be dangerols

to cultivate ; the holy father, however, appears upon seve

ral occasions to have been too credulous of the exaggerated :

tales of the natives. a

Our drawing was made at Mr. Brooxe’s nursery, al

Ball’s' Pond, im October last, where it was raised from

seeds received from Chili, and grew in the open ground,

and continued a long time in flower. e

MEMORANDUM.

We flatter ourselves that we have been always cautious of a het

names different from what have been already given, even although sv

may not have been published. And in answer to the accusation laid

against us in the last number of the Botanical Register, of our having beet”

led into a different line of conduct, we have only to state, that the ZizipHs

incurvus of ROXBURGH, according to the specimen preserved in Mr. LA

BERT’s Herbarium, is totally different from our PaLiuRus virgatus; an

Dr. WALLIcH’s description, in the Second Volume of RoxBuRGH’S Flory

from Dr. Fiscuer, of the Imperial botanic garden at Peters-

burgh, under the name of Campanuxa macrantha; but we

cannot find any characters sufficient to establish a specific

difference between it and C. latifolia, of which species —

we therefore consider it as a variety only. _ J

A hardy perennial. Native of Russia, as respects this

variety ; but the species is found in several parts of Great

Britain, more especially in the north, as well as on the con-

tinent of Europe. Blossoms in June and July. Commu-

In our account of Bouronta glastifolia (vol. 50. n. 2381)

We expressed a doubt whether there were really two species

of Boronia ; but last October we had the satisfaction of

receivin imens of both from the botanic garden at —

Bury St. Sand, and are now satisfied that they are

‘Pecifically distinct. The lower leaves as well as ge

= tie hea plant are quite entire, and are of a br

Steen than those of glastifolia, with no admixture of black-

ae, tinge. The plant is much taller and stouter, and the

~~ Wers

grow in more branched and closer panicles ; omg

ray white, and disk yellow; in glastifolia the ray is of a

deep purple upon its first appearance, and, when fully

blown, remains of a flesh colour. - ie

The seeds in both are nearly alike; those of the asteroides —

more obcordate, and have a broader margin ; in both spe- |

cies they are crowned with short bristles, and have two

long ariste nearly equal in length to the seed. In asie- —

roides the peduncles for some distance from the flowers are

naked, or quite free from leaves or bractes, but in glasti- —

folia small leaf-like bractes are continued nearly to the

calyx. From Micnavx’s description of the two plants we —

doubt if he saw both, as he says, that in habit, in foliation,

and in the colour of the flowers, they are altogether alike.

The figures referred to by L’ Herit1er were never published,

and, if engraved, are probably lost, so that we conclude

our figures are the only existing ones of the two species of —

Boronia. )

Boronia asteroides is a hardy perennial. Native of

North America. Flowers in September and October. —

Raised in the Bury garden, from seeds received from Dr. —

Fiscuer, of Gottingen, under the name of glastifolia. The

two species have indeed been generally confounded, but the

names as we have applied them are the most appropriate;

our present plant resembling an Aster more ectly in

habit, than the former one; and has the lower leaves quite

entire not serrate as in glastifolia.

Herpestis Monnieria is very widely-extended: over the

globe, if different species have not been confounded under

the same name ; in the East Indies as well as the West, on

the continent of South-America, in China, and in the

islands of the Pacific Ocean.

But, in truth, on comparing the descriptions and figures

of the different authors, ‘and also the specimens in various

Herbariums, we are forced to conclude, either that this

species is extremely variable, or that distinct ones: have

been very generally united. Apprehensive that our plant

may be really distinct though we have considered it onl

as a variety, we have added names which may be adopted

should this be found to be the case. — a

Our plant agrees so well with the description of that

found by Humsgotpt and Bonptanp in the island of Cuba,

that there can’ be little doubt respecting it. Jacevi'’s

plant, found in the island of St. Domingo, is probably

the same, although the peduncles are represented 10 ‘bs

figure shorter than the leaf, and the flowers are describ-

as snow-white. In Roxsuren’s figure and descriptiol

the peduncles are shorter than the leaf, and otherwise

admit of some doubt. The Seprtas of Lourerro doubtless

belongs to the same genus, but the species may be differ-

ent. The genus Herpestis was first established by the

younger Gzrrver, in his Carpologia, and has been sinc?

generally adopted; the name of Monnrerra having beet

previously applied by Auster to a very different genUS.

_ Our plant was communicated, in flower, in August, 1823,

by our lamented friend, the late Joun Waxxer, 254

characters of the genus, are not visible in our drawing,

being concealed within the labellum. Dr. Hooker, in his

description, by considering the flower as separated from

the scape, reverses the position of the parts, and thus de-

reality, is curved downwards, and after deflorescence is

quite reflected. } i

The first plant that flowered in this country had so ge-

nerally more than five teeth to the calyx, and a corolla so

variously jagged, as to lead to, a doubt whether it really

belonged to the genus Primuta, and Dr. Hooker has coi

sidered the species as consisting of two distinct varieties;

but to us it-appears most probable, that when the num-

ber of the teeth of the calyx exceeds five, and the margins

of the corolla are not entire, this deviation is the effect of

cultivation, and arises from luxuriance only ; as we suspect

does also the verticillate appearance of the scape, a kind

of monstrosity which sometimes takes place in the common

ipolyanthus. 9 9 0 :

There is a near affinity between this species and the

acaulis of Cavaniuugs, the grandiflora of the Flora Peru-

viana, which also, under cultivation, becomes caulescent,

and to a. greater degree, as appears by the figure given

of it in the Botanical Register ; but that species has white

flowers, and differs in the form of its capsules, and in other

respects. Triloba is not a good name, we think that tarax-

it right to change it. ot

lowish straight prickles. eaves sinuate-pinnatifid, with

leaves, hairy, viscous, and prickly, terminated in a few-

flowered corymb: pedicles shorter than the calyx. Calyx —

somewhat inflated, five-cleft, with lanceolate segments,

prickly. (Baron Jacquin remarks, that in the sterile flowers

the calyx is hairy, and in the fruitful flowers prickly).

Corolla large, the size of that of the potatoe, white, with

a very slight tinge of purple, filaments very short: anthers

equal, yellow, distinct, not connivent. We have not seen

the fruit, but Jacquin describes it as being orange red, and

of the size and form of a cherry. ; )

This species belongs to a section to which Dunat has

given the name of Cryprocarpum, from the fruit bemg

covered by tne enlarged calyx.

It has fallen to the lot of few species to undergo sucha

variety of names. Besides the six inserted in the above

synonymy, it is supposed that four others occur in the

catalogues of different gardens, viz. formosum, mauri-

tanum, Thouinii, and viscidum, making together ten

names all applied to the same species, . the Soranum Bal-

bist of Dunat. : at P gite 3

Some of the above synonyms are of older date than

Dunat’s, and have therefore the right of priority ; but as

the latter has been adopted in the two general systems noW

in course of publication, those of Roemer and ScHvUtLT#s,

and of Sprencex, and will no doubt be preserved by Dé

CanpDoLLE, any attempt to restore any of the others W

be only increasing the confusion; we have therefore no!

hesitated to follow Dunat, the author, under the auspice

of De Canpotze, of a laborious and useful monograph

Soxanum. We presume, however, to hope, that the pre

ceptor when he revises the genus for his own system, ¥ u

frame a better arrangement ; for the making the first div-

imported by Mr. Lez, from Brazil, which flowered, in the

Spofforth collection, with flowers, measuring from nine to |

ten and a half inches. That with the purple tube, figured |

in the Bot. Reg. and var. «, both from Maranham, have also _

flowered at Spofforth ; variety y, flowered in Mr. Carruty’s

collection, at East Barnet. The flowers of this fine species

have a general resemblance to those of Lixrum japonicum.

The graduated insertion of the filaments in the tube, which -

is one of the most important features of the genus, is strik-

ingly conspicuous in this species, of which the lower side of

the tube is abbreviated by a full inch. The view of its

tube and filaments, given in the Collectanea Botanica, as 2

dissection, does not shew either the obliquity of the tube,.or

the insertion of the filaments. The tube, though shorter

than the limb, is longer in proportion in this, than in any

other known species. The bulbs thrive freely im the stove,

and flower upon a shelf. Mules have been produced a! |

Spofforth by its pollen, from H. stylosum, H. pulverulentum,

and H. regine-vittatum. W.H. :

_We have very little doubt, but that Map1a mellosa and

biscosa are the same species, in different stages of growth ;

We ought, therefore, perhaps, to have made use of the for-

iner appellation, as having the right of priority; but the

tter having been generally adopted in the systems, we

think it best to adhere to it, as least likely to occasion con-

on. :

The number of the leaflets of the outer calyx is uncertain ;

but after the flowering is over, they increase irregularly in

Size, and exceed the inner calyx; whereas, in an early stage,

outer calyx is considerably shorter than the inner. The

— plant is covered with glandular hairs, which exude

* clammy secretion. ae

Our plant was raised in the open ground, and, prow,

upon that account, never arrived at a perfect state, as the

flowers did not produce any radius.

Mo ina mentions only two species as growing in Chili,

ots one wild and the other cultivated. The latter doesnot

ear to have been ever brought to Europe ; although in

Chili, they procure from the seeds, either by pressure or

simple boiling, a very pure eatable oil, which Frvurit

preferred to that of olives.

Native of Chili. Introduced in 1794, by Arourpatp

Menzies, Esq. Our specimens were communicated by N.

Hopson, Esq. from the Botanic Garden, at Bury St.

It is ver remarkable, that Linneus in his elaborate

Work, the Species Plantarum, in which he has described all

plants known to him at that time, should so very rarely

- have recorded the same plant under two different names ;

_ Jet it has been the fate of this species to have been given,

in that work, under three different genera, viz. Aspalathus,

Cytisus, and Anthyllis; and in one of the same author's —

earlier works, the Hortus Cliffortianus, he had before called

it a Dorycnium.

A small shrub; native of the Levant; generally kept in

the Greenhouse, but supposed to be sufficiently hardy to

bear our ordinary winters, as Mriter remarks, that it was

not uncommon in our gardens, till all the plants were de-

stroyed, by the severe frost of 1739—1740, after which he

had not seen it. Flowers from April to July.

This variety of Camexuia japonica was raised, by Mr.

Anemony-flowered variety, impregnated probably by the

pollen of a semi-double variety, at the Exotic Nursery in

the King’s Road. It differs from the one figured in our

his variety of Brunsviaia Josephine, differing a little in

colour from those already known, was imported by Mr. Tate, of

the Sloane Street Nursery, from the Cape. The known species of

Brunsviaia are,—l. multiflora. 2. Josephine. 3. striata.

4. Radula. 5. lucida. A sixth small species, imported by the

late Mr. Lex, under the erroneous name of CyrtTantTHus veniri-

cosus, has not yet been observed in flower.

Amaryuuts Belladonna was the type of the Linnean genus

AmARYLLIs, and, as he assigned his reason for the name, it must

remain to that species; though it is singular, that, out of the num-

ber of species since added, it has but one real congener, A. blanda,

which is perhaps only a gigantic variety. This, however, occa

sions no great inconvenience, as it gives its name to the whole

ee Amaryllidee. Amanyuuis has a regular funnel-shaped

corolla; Brunsvieta is separated from it 3 an irregular, not

funnel-shaped corolla, curved upwards, and as far as we have

seen, by petals not undulated. Nerine is separated from Barons )

viata by the gibbous union of the filaments before their inset

tion, Ammocuaris ; viz. falcata and coranica, forms a link be-

tween Amaryllis and Crinum, to which it approximates in seve

points. Bupuane (Boophane, Appendix) forms a link betwee —

Amaryllis and Hemanthus. Of Buphane there are three know?

species.—1. toxicaria (supra 1217). 2. ciliaris. 3. disticha

(Amary.uis disticha, Patterson.) Disticha has the bulb harder,

rounder, and much larger than toxicaria, and, as appears

PatTTERson’s engraving, flowers fewer and larger; he does not

mention the colour. Gigantic bulbs of disticha have been lately

imported by Mr. Tats. All the above-mentioned genera have

the scape solid, the seeds fleshy, the mouth of the tube closed;

by which features, the group of Amaryllidee should peer be

limited. The genera with the scape hollow, the seeds $ elly, ‘

the capsule oval, and the mouth of the tube open, might ee

called Cyrtanthee ; those with the scape hollow, the seeds shelly;

the capsule three-lobed, and the mouth of the tube closed, Hipp

by Mr. Hopson, from the Botanic garden, at Bury St.

Edmunds, by whose intelligent curator, Mr. Joun Denson,

we are informed, that this very ornamental plant, if suffered

to scatter its seeds spontaneously, will produce young plants

in the autumn, which will abide the winter, and flower the

following spring and summer. If sown in the spring, the

plants will blossom later; and early frosts may prevent

their ripening any seeds. The seeds were received from

The bulb, from which our figure was made, flowered at

the Nursery of Mr. Tare, in Sloane Street ; having formed

a of a collection, consisting of seeds and a few bulbs,

ught by Mr. Butxocx from Mexico. It was accompanied

by another species, apparently a ZeEpHYRANTHES, with

broader leaves, which we take to be AmaryLis nervosa of

Umzotpr ; and a species with smaller striped flowers,

Lis minuta: but it is impos-

7VEPHYRANTHES

ZEPHYRANTHES verecunda, though of much smaller stature,

comes very near indeed to Zepuyrantues Atamasco ; the

tube distinguishes it at once from tubispatha. Its foliage

is narrower and thicker than that of Atamasco, and some-

times spirally twisted. The flower, which was white at first,

had begun to fade before it reached our draughtsman, and,

consequently, had assumeda more erect posture than belongs

to the genus, when the corolla is in its first perfection.

The three filaments belonging to the outer petals are

shortest, and their anthers aitiched nearer the middle than

the other anthers.

ZEPHYRANTHEs may be looked upon as the Crocus of hot

countries. We learn from Dr. Carey, that Z. tubispatha

and the hybrid Hirrzastrum splendens, sent to him by us

a few years ago, have multiplied so prodigiously, that they

now form the ornament of most gardens near Calcutta.

This species of Denprosium has a near affinity with D.

tucullatum (supra No. 2242.) from which it is especially

listinguished by the form of the labellum. As in that,

the stems are naturally either pendulous, or prostrate,

though drawn erect in our figure. It is a beautiful

Parasite, native of Chittagong and of various parts of

the Delta of the Ganges. Introduced into the Calcutta

garden by M. Prerarp, from whom Dr. Roxsuren gave

llits specific name. Our drawing was made from a plant

Wat flowered in the collection at Spofforth by the Hon.

tid Rey. Wa. Hersert, who informs us that he re-

-Celved it from Dr. Carey, “that it is cultivated at Calcutta,

-*y tying it on a smooth branch of a tree, water being con-

‘tantly conducted to it by a string through a smallaperture

havessel above ; that, so treated, it hangs down the length —

six feet, covered with flowers after the leaves decay, at

Which time, it is stated by Dr. Carey to be one of the most

utiful objects in the vegetable kingdom.” At aspen ing

Mr. Hersezrr says, that “ it thrives pretty well in several

situations, but best in moss, running horizontally in a

dampish situation. The more equal temperature of our

stoves prevents its losing its leaves as regularly as it does

at Calcutta, but they generally fall from the part which

produces the flowers at least.” Messrs. Loppices state,

that they have found it thrive pretty well, fastened toa

damp wall in the stove, without earth, but sprinkled occa-

sionally with water. It flowers in March, and the blossoms

last in perfection a long time.

veral authors have considered V acciniuM arpon,

as @ mere variety of V. Oxycoccus ; but they are undoubt-

edly distinct, and always may be readily cstingooiee = ae

the peduncles of the latter being terminal ; growing for the

most part two together ; sometimes only one, and now and

then three or four ; whereas, in V. macrocarpon, the peduncles

are always lateral; growing alternately from the axils of

smaller leaves, or bractes, below the extremity of the branch.

There is likewise, besides the difference in the foliage, a

considerable diversity in their habits, the stems of V. Oxy-

‘ coccus being entirely prostrate ; whereas, in V. macrocarpon,

the flowering branches are assurgent. Both species are

cultivated with success in a soil, by no means damp, at

the Fulham Nursery. :

The American Cranberries are larger and fairer to the

eye than the European, and by some they are preferred in

tarts or preserves ; but in our opinion the taste of the English

Cranberry is pleasanter than that of the American.

but has not ba been tfied out of doors. | offsets of

this species diverge obliquely, so that t es pierce

the pe i at eon: distance from t orming a

circle of satellites round it, as if the plant were stoloniferous,

which is not however the case, instead of making a close

tuft like striata, tubispatha, &c, , Its leaves, are also much

broader, and strongly nerved, so as to form a sort of keel

on the back. Mr.» Linprzy:has quoted A. minuta as a

synonym to Z. grandiflora, but we conceive it impossible

that the name mznuta should have been. applied to a species

a foot high, with a flower three inches long, especially as it

was given with reference to the associated bulb, A. nervosa.

“. carinata differs from Z. grandiflora Bot. Reg. 902. in

having much broader leaves, not smooth on both sides, but

strongly nerved or keeled underneath, a spathe longer than

the peduncle, and the corolla divided two-thirds of itslength,

which in that species is ‘said to be divided less than half its

length. In that article the flower of grandiflora has a long

peduncle exceeding the spathe, but the capsule is described

as nearly sessile, and covered by the spathe like that of

cunda and striata. We hear from Mr. Linpuey, that

the figure of grandiflora was made from Sir A. Hume's

plant, the description of the seed and capsule from a bulb

I ng to the Horticultural Society, which perfected

its seed from a flower of which the corolla had been injured

and abortive, to which circumstance he attributed the short-

ness seer esa It remains to be ascertained, whether

those two bulbs were actually of one species ; which we

doubt. The foliage of that which produced the seed, 18

spirally twisted, and similar to that of verecunda and striata.

It is the habit of Amaryllidee to elongate the peduncle,

and we have never seen an instance from any accident of a

pedunculated species in that natural order producing @

subsessile capsule. Our Z. carinata may be at once recog-

on by the breadth of its foliage, strongly ribbed under-

neath. | |

After our sketch had been made the flower expanded

wider in the sun and became less erect. .

the inside of the tube. W. H.

of the petals drawing closer together at night. The three lower petals were

‘Yather protruded, and during the first day the lowest inner petal ren

and more ereet. The point of the spathe was in this specimen

—

This four-flowered species is named from its long two-cleft

spathe. It was imported by Lorp Carnarvon from Buenos

Ayres ; and, with it, another four-flowered species which

we propose to call H. spathaceus, appearing by the dry

specimens, which accompanied the bulbs, to have large

purplish flowers, and a very broad spathe split on one —

side only. We believe that we have besides two other

undescribed species of Hasranruus. The flowers of this —

genus expand in the sun, and probably those of H. bifidus —

are at times much more open, than when our sketch was —

made from a fresh specimen, carefully brought to us in atin —

box, by J. R. Gowen, Esq. from Highclere. It wasseent-

less. When the flowers of H. bifidus are full, blown, the

anthers seem to hang by the middle, but earlier they are

seen to be attached nearer one end. The two upper |

segments of the corolla are the broadest, the two lower —

laterals the narrowest, those opposite being equal. _

All the species of Har Us appear to thrive Mm

the greenhouse, but do not succeed well out of doors. A_

little artificial heat during the period of rest. promotes

the flowering of these, and indeed of all-the tender bulbs, |

which like Amaryius Belladonna produce their blossoms —

before the leaves. We have subjoined, as subsidiary —

to the generic character, those features which appear !?

belong to all the species of the genus, but do not limit!

necessarily. . .

The bulbs of all the species of Habranthus are neatly”

round when imported. Ter having been potted a yeal,

they generally become elongated, sometimes to the lent

of six inches, and constricted in one place or more.. ee

suspect that this singular habit, which seems peculiar to"

genus, is an effort of nature to withdraw the bulb to #

greater depth, and that the long neck would become

ovated. gradually, af, remained longer undisturbet

* It is possible that the plant here fig

observes, “‘ may belong to a species diff from

natum, whose spike is generally sessile, and more subdi-

vided ; I am inclined, however, to unite them, and to add,

as a third variety, S. propinguum, which was taken up

from imperfect materials. : :

“Tn the section of the genus to which S. adnatum be-

longs, the best. specific differences are found in modifica-

tions of the structure of the capsule, and by these alone

the species at present known may be readily determined.

n the

sule are in form and contents perfectly equal, as i :

other

other sections of the genus. In fasciculatum the cells are

dissimilar in form, but of nearly equal size, and both fertile.

In falcatum the posterior cell,,still more different in form,

is also considerably reduced in width and entirely without _

ovula, nor is it, as I have stated in the specific character,

fertile. Lastly, in adnatum, of which I am now disposed

to consider propinquum a variety, the posterior cell is not

only entirely destitute of oyula, but is reduced to a capil-

lary tube, which continues to adhere to the fertile cell.

** From this series of species, in which the upper or pos-

terior cell is gradually obliterated, we are led to the true

explanation of the structure of Lysrromia. This genus,

belonging to Lobeliacee, is described by M. Kunru, as

having a single parietal placenta; it may, however, be

regarded ash ing a septum so closely pressed to the upper

ide of the capsule.as to leave no manifest cavity, and

Pte cntengid produces ovula on one:side only.”

Sari isis eile. — F

The genera Styuiprum, Levennooxra and Forstera form

Mr. Brown’s natural order of Stylidee ; since adopted by

Jussieu, in the 18th volume of the Annales du Muséum.

By the separation of Lobeliacee, Goodenovie and Stylidec

from the Campanulacee, the genera belonging to each,

as Mr. Brown observes, are more readily defined, and the

attention of Botanists better directed to the very singular

structure of these tribes. = Te

We have before given two species of this very curious

genus. For the present one, a native of King George’s,

Sound, on the South coast of New Holland, we are again

indebted to our friend Roserr Barcray, Esq. who commu-

nicated a flowering plant in June, in the present year.

All the Sryzip1a require to be protected from frost, and

some of them aawer tec better for the assistance of a little

artificial heat. i ix oi 9

| the same species have been also raised there from Brazilian

seeds. All the stems produced at Spofforth are bifurcate, —

with two bractes at the fork, and each limb terminates in |

from three to six branches three or four incheslong, accom- —

panied by about as many bractes ;. each branch bearing a

terminal flower on a peduncle a little longer than the |

spathe. The column, which in Tierivia pavonia is very —

long, in this species is very short, the base of the anthers

being almost in contact with the corolla: the pollen is

borne upon their edges. The outer petals are not much

unlike in form to those of T. pavonia; but the imner ones

are most singularly curved inwards in the middle part, with —

the upper part curved backwards, and the point reflected —

under the flower so as almost to touch the germen. The

form of the stigmas is not less singular; they are two-lobed,

each lobe being trifid, the outer point shorter and obtuse ;

the inner acuminate and horned, the third curved down-

wards outwardly. The bulbs were planted in peat, and

kept in the greenhouse, where they retained their leaves,

during the winter, and were placed in the open air in May.

They will probably thrive in the open border, if taken up

in the winter. W.H. -

We had prepared this article for the press under the

name of T. ramosa, but having learnt from Mr. Liyptey,

that he was about to describe the same species under the

name Herberti, in compliment to the memory of the late

Hon. and Rev. Gzorce Herzerr, deeply lamented by the

many to whom he was dear, in whose conservatory a

Burghclere it flowered for the first time in pinks om in the

Autumn of 1824, we have not hesitated to adopt his name.

valuable Prodromus. The name was given. by him in

honour of his friend M. Lescuenavutr, Botanist, to Baupen’s

expedition, who has ‘since: travelled much in the East

Indies, and is at present, we believe, director of the bota-

nical establishment at Cayenne. |

Mr. Anerson, the curator of the Apothecaries’ Garden at

Chelsea, has three different varieties, or perhaps species

under the name of Dumb Cane. The one here figured

does not appear to be specifically different from that

figured by Panis Mixer, but to have just the same rela-

tion to it, as the spotted Arum has to the plain variety.

But a third kind in the same collection may perhaps be

considered

considered to be a distinct species, having brond-oval leaves,

and stronger parallel ribs on the under side, running ob-

liquely from the mid-rib. to the margins.

Many of the plants of the family of Aréid@ are very

acrid; but this perhaps exceeds them all in this quality.

Sir Hans Stoang, in his History of Jamaica, gives the fol-

lowing account of the reason. of the name by which it is

known in the West Indies.

“« If one cut this Cane with a knife and put the tip of the

tongue to it, it makes a very painful sensation, and occa-

sions such a very great irritation on the salivary ducts, that

they presently swell, so that the person cannot speak, and

do nothing for some time but void spittle to a great degree,

or salivate, which in some time goes off ; in this, doing, in

a greater degree, what European Arum does ina lesser ; and

from this its quality, and being jointed, this Arum is called

Dump Cane.”

It is said, that the masters sometimes imflict a severe

punishment upon their slaves, by rubbing their mouths with

this plant. It is, also, an ingredient in the highly acrimo-

nious liquid used in the preparation of sugar. .

Native of the West Indies, and the tropical part of the

continent of America, growing in marshy places, where it
