intended for it in the approaching edition of Hortus Kewenjis.

Stem from two to five feet high; flowers 1—14, large, of a

bright red-lead colour with black-crimfon fomewhat ‘raifed

fpots. Hardy enough to thrive in the open ground, and will

foon become common, being rapidly propagated by the bulbs

produced in the axils of the leaves, as well as by thofe that

furround the mother-bulb. Blooms freely about July and

Auguft. Native of China and Japan. Introduced into Kew

Gardens from the former country, by Mr. W. Ker, in 1804.

Kamprer fays, that the bulbs are eaten by the Japanefe.

Loureiro mentions its being cultivated at Canton, and makes

“it a variety of pomponium.

Kamprer’s defcription alone might have fatisfied us that.

this was the plant he had in view; but upon referring to his

manu{cript in the Britifh Mufeum, we found an excellent

drawing done with a pen and ink by himfelf, accompanying

the defcription. W1it.ipznow has erroneoufly added this

fynonym to TuHunserc’s lancifolium,

It was from this fpecies that L1nn £us conftruéted the genus

Liparia as diftinét from Borsonra, to which it is very

nearly allied. It does not indeed appear to us that the two

genera are as yet very well diftinguifhed ; at leaft the fpecies

have been hitherto fo arranged, that many of the Borbonias

have much greater affinity with fome that rank under Liparia,

than they have with their prefent companions. Some, perhaps, —

do not properly belong to either genus. Lamarck unites

both; but Liparia Ipherica i is very remarkable for its large

bragtes, its petal-like calyx, and fingular convolution of the

ale round the carina and one another. Not one of the de-

{cribed fpecies, that we have feen, has the fame chara€ters,

although amongft dried fpecimens we have met with two others,

in every refpeét clofely allied. Perhaps thefe may hereafter be

found to be in the colle&ion at Fonthill, as we are informed

in the Botanift’s Repofitory, that Mr. Mrine, the gardener,

fuppofes he has two other new fpecies of the fame genus, which |

have not yet bloffomed.

Native of the Cape of Good-Hope. Requires the protec-

tion of a greenhoufe, and the fame treatment as the Sophoras

and Crotalarias from the fame country. Flowers in July.

their divifion into two genera is perhaps altogether arbitrary +

both the number of petals and of cells in the fruit being far

four-cleft calyx and only four petals, and according to AUBLETs

This inhabitant of Canada in North-America, is almoft a

counterpart in miniature of the European common Yellow

Water. Lily, and has the fame habits, The flower, as in the

re(t of the fpecies, ftands high out of the water, but when the

efflorelcence is over, the peduncle retires under the water,

where the feed is perfeéted and f{cattered in the mud.

Micuavx, although he could not find any diftinguifhing

‘chara@&ers, could not perfuade himfelf but that it was a dif-

‘ferent fpecies from Nympuza /utea, The only remarkable

difference that we can deteét is that the leaves have fewer veins,

and that thefe are not raifed from the under furface, as in /utea,

but really grooved, and are a little raifed on the upper furface :

the lobes are rather more divaricate and obtufe. We have

not obferved the petals to exceed ten; and the rays of the

ftigma, which are white, and united by a flefh-coloured mem-

brane, are more ufually eight, fometimes as many as twelve.

In Nvmeua Jutea the ftigma is yellow, and has ufually about

fixteen rays; and the number of the petals'is feldom lefs.

Our drawing was fketched from a fpecimen communicated

by Mefirs. Loppices & Sons, in July 1808, and finifhed

Jaft fummer, at Mr. Vere’s, Kenfington-Gore, whofe intelli-

gent gardener, Mr. ANpDerson, pointed out to us, that Nym-

PHA ka/miana and lutea, befsdes the leaves which float upon

the water, bear others which never appear above. its furface ;

thefe are tenderer, more undulated, and fhorter, with lobes

very much divaricated, and hence approaching to kidney-

fhaped. Being a native of Canada, it muft be perfeétly hardy,

but when grown ina ciftern fhould be proteéted from fevere froft. _

In No. 571 of the prefent work, we have mentioned the

Pronenefs in fome of the flowers of certain f{pecies of this

§€nus to luxuriate or become in fome meafure double ; that

this was frequently evinced by the produétion of various fized

fegments

fegments of the corolla. Thefe proceffes in the prefent

fpecies have been raifed by Tuunsere to the dignity of

Ne@aries ; but fince, in other nearly allied ones, we have

frequently found them in one corolla, while in others on the

fame {tem none were to be found; and fince the fame root pro-

duced in other years flowers, all of which were deftitute of

them; and fince Jacquin affures us, that there were no

traces of them in his fpecimens of this fame fpecies, we

adhere to our former opinion of their nature ; holding them

to be mere accidental excrefcences, and not effential organs

with TuHunsBerc. They vary in fize and form even in the

fame flower. We loft the opportunity of examining the

prefent fpecimen, and have trufted to the figures of our

draughtfman and others above cited for our fpecific dif-

tinGions. Differs from tricu/pis, No. 168 (which by Mr-

Curtis was, and by moft gardeners ftill is, miftaken for it)

in the form and dimenfions of the ftigmas, in having the inner

fegments of the corolla entire and lanceolate, as well as by its

pubefcent leaves and ftem. Native of the Cape of Good

Hope. oe

3 se {pecies of Campanula varies with white flowers, and,

“KS native alpine fituation, has generally a lefs divided ftem,

fewer

fewer flowers, generally from one to five, and narrower leaves,

more refembling thofe of Ecuium vulgare. Linna&us de-

{cribes the capfules as five-celled, but both Hatrer and

Krocxer fay it is three-celled; we had no opportunity of

examining this circumftance; but, from the trifid ftigma, con-

clude that our plant was three-celled. The capfules of many

Campanulas are, however, fubje&t to vary in the number of

the cells of the fruit, even in the fame individual.

Whether the Campanuta Allioni of Vittars be really

different from the darbata, appears to us very doubtful; the

principal points which this author infifts upon, as marking a

{pecific difference, are in dire& oppofition to the obfervations

of Aution1. What he fays of the leaves being more obtufe,

- even obovate, and the flowers larger and more inflated, cor-

refponds with our figure, and may lead to a doubt, if thele

plants are really different, to which of them ours belongs ; for

the number of the flowers is often greatly increafed by culti-

vation, and although Attion1 fays his a/pefiris has never

more than one, yet this is contradi€ted by Vitiars.

We have never met with a figure of this fpecies in any of

the more modern Botanical works. The plant given in

Anprews’s Botanift’s Repofitory, plate 473, under the

name, of gloriofa, is aloifolia, a very diftin&t fpecies ; in

that the trunk reaches from fix to ten feet in height, here

from fix inches to two feet ; in that the leaves have a narrow

finely crenulate cartilaginous edging, here they are quite

entire; in that the panicle js much clofer, the racemelets

more thickly befet with flowers, the corolla larger and longer

with fegments farther acuminate and purple on the outfide,

and has before expanfion a remarkable affurgent curvature,

as if reverfedly beaked; the branchlets of the panicle are

likewife more lax and drooping. The inflorefcence in the

‘prefent fpecies is generally about three feet high; the caudex

often garnifhed with leaves down to the ground, fometimes

naked for near two feet. The bloom is without fcent. Na-

tive of Carolina, where it was found by Micnaux growing

near the fea. Known in our gardens as far back as the time

of Parkinson and Gerarv. Blooms about Augutft.

Among the gardeners, the prefent plant has pretty generally

pafled for the Linnean 4:fora; and, if we are to take the

fpecies from the fpecimen depofited by Linnaus in Cu1r-

FoRD’s Herbarium, and made to refer to the {pecies in his

Horins Clifortianus correfponding with the 4iflora of his

Species Plantarum, the gardeners may be right; for that is

Certainly pumila, But if we found the fpecies on the plant

cited by Linnazus from Beszrer’s Hortus Eyflettenfis as a

fynonym, and affume that he has erroneoufly judged the

above {pecimen to be the fame with the plant reprefented in ©

that work; then 4ifora certainly is a very diftin& fpecies

from pumila, and mott probably a dwarf {pecimen of the /ub-

— bifora of No. 1130 of the prefent work. From a {pecimen

out of the Kew. Gardens preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium,

we have little doubt but that the difora of Hortus Kewenfis

is likewife the fame fpecies with our /ubéifora. We have

Never feen the {pecimen in Linn#us’s Herbarium, and his

defcription gives no clue beyond the above fynonym. We

fhould obferve, that the length of the leaves and ftem, in re-

lation to each, is in this genus of no avail in fpecific diftinc-

tion, The prefent is the handfomeft of all the varieties of

pumila, as well as one of the rareft. We have ufually found

it preferved in a frame; perhaps it is tenderer than the

others, G,

No. 986. In enumerating as diftin& the Iris microptera

form but one, under Lamarcx’s name of a/ata, and our ob-

fervation of “ differt infequenti, Sc.” be expunged ; adding

to the fynonymy, Iris /corpioides. Lil, a Redoute, tab. 211. It

is a very beautiful {pecies, nearly allied to perfica, formerly

The three alternate flamens in this fpecies are often fo

deeply concealed within the tube of the corolla, that, unlefs

purpofely and carefully fought for, they are very eafily over-

looked, efpecially in the dried plant; to fuch overfight we

moft probably owe the Linnean name of /riandrus. It is a

very variable plant as to colour of the flower and number of

the leaves; the variation in the length of the ftyle is very

confiderable, yet common to many fpecies of this genusy

taking place even in different flowers on the fame ftem.

Jussrev has remarked, that the numerous fpecies of Mimofa

muft hereafter be divided into diftinét genera, according to

the number of their ftamens and the form of their feed-pod.

Wi ipenow, by reftoring Tournerort’s Acacia and Piv-

miER’s Inga, has done this in part. But his divifion appear-

ing to us infufficient, we prefer the continuing to give the

{pecies, as they may occur, under Mimofa, until fome Botanift

fall have made a fcientific arrangement of the whole, as the

only way to avoid the frequent changing of names.

When planted in the border of the confervatory, this makes

a very elegant tree, with long pendent branches, thickly clothed

with a beatiful foliage, and covered in the {pring with a pro-

fufion of fragrant flowers. Altogether, it is one of the greateft

ornaments of the greenhoufe; but being difficultly propagated,

except by feeds, which it will not produce in this country, it

is not likely to become very common. Native of New South-

plants of the fame natural order, he will find that this is theo.

“retically corre&t ; moft of the genera having feveral capfules

which are either quite diftin€t, or more or lefs united. The

fruit of the prefent fpecies illuftrates this explanation exceed-

ingly well, the capfules being entirely diftinét, except at their

inner edge, where they are united from the bafe to about the

middle: in N. hi/panica, figured in the next plate, the capfules

are much more united, but are ftill diftin® at their backs; in

N. damafcena they are fo perfeétly united, that there is no trace

left of diftin@ capfules, except at their very extremity, where

they open at the inner future to difcharge the feeds. The

fiudent may be ftill more perplexed by two apparent mifprints ;

one is, that wherever the effential or abbreviated chara€ter

is prefixed to the genus the neétaries are uniformly faid to

be five, but in all the editions of the Genera Plantarum

that we have feen, where the charaéters are given at lengih,

the neétaries are faid to be eight, we conclude therefore that

the figure 5 was in the firft inftance a mifprint for 8, The

other fuppofed miftake, is not fo certain; but in the Genera

Plantarum, where it is faid “ germina convexa,” we conclude

that connexa was the word intended, as the former word gives no

precife idea; and we are confirmed in this opinion, by the

pene of WiripDENow’s edition of the Species Plantarum

aving fallen” into the very fame error, by changing capfule

connexe mto convexra.

The name of GariprLta was given to this plant by Tour-

NEFOR? inhonour of PrerReE Jos. Garipet, M.D. Prof. of

Anatomy at Aix, in Provence, who firft gave an accurate de-

{eription and figure of this curious vegetable. It has a very near

affinity with Nigella, as may be feen by comparing it with the

two preceding articles ; although having ufually no more than

ten ftamens and three piftils, it is neceflarily arranged under a

different clafs and order in the fexual fyftem. We cannot,

however, fee the propricty of calling the correfponding organs

___ in Nigella and Garidella by different names ; on which account

we have changed the language of the generic chara@ter in the

latter to preferve a uniformity, as we can fee no reafon for *

naming the petals of Garidella a calyx, unlefs, with Jusstev,

we call them fo in the whole natural order. In Garidella the

neétaries, though bilabiate, and poffeffing a general fimilarity

with thofe of Nigella, bear a very different. proportion to the

petals ; in the latter they are very {mall in proportion to the

petals, which in Garidella they exceed in length. In this

refpe&t, of the two Nice uas figured in this number, the

orientalis approaches much nearer to Garipexia than the

bi/panica. z

Our drawing was made at Mr. Sauisspury’s, at the fame

time with the others. This is alfo an annual ; a native of the

South of France and of Italy; and requires the fame treat-

ment,

‘wanting, are barely vifible in the old leaves only : a charatler

firft pointed out to us by Mr. Georce Lopprces. The

in uniflora are not only much fmaller and narrower, but more

revolute and more glaucous on the ‘under furface ; the calyx

too is Jefs punfate and more ciliate than in /peciofa; the

eet

Our learned friend, Dr. Smiru, in the Annals of Botaty, ©

and in the gth volume of the Tranfa€tions of the Linnean So-

ciety, bas given the generic. and {pecific charaéters of the de-

candrous papilionaceous plants of. New-Holland, with a truly

matterly hand. But as there are many more of thefe plants

than the Doéor can have had an opportunity of feeing, and

only a comparatively {mall number of thefe could have been

examined by him in a living ftate, it is to be expeéted that

more genera will hereafter be neceffarily formed, and that

fome of the fpecies will be differently arranged ; however this

may be, the above eflays will remain honourable monuments

of the author’s abilities and induftry ; for every Botanift, who has

confidered this natural order, has heretofore found the attempt to

reduce it into any method attended with almoft infurmountable

obftacles, moft of which are removed by thefe effays. Mr-

Brown having had the advantage of ftudying thefe plants in

their native foil, we look to him for a ftill more fatisfa€tory

account of thefe plants than we have yet had.

“Whether our prefent plant properly belong to the genus

Dittwynra, or ought rather to be confidered as a Pultenza

on account of its braétes, which, though minute and not fo

clofe to the calyx, are neverthelefs very analagous to thofe of that

genus, or whether it fhould be confidered as diftin& from both,

we cannot determine. From the fimilarly formed calyx, the

oblong hairy ovarium, the truncate fligma, which is neither

acute nor pubefcent, we fhould be inclined to think that it

muft belong to the fame genus as D. glaberrima, No. 944

notwithitanding the vexillum has not the long tranfverle

diameter of the latter; but neither is it entire, as reprefented

by Lasrttiarpiere, but is divided nearly to the middle into

two lobes. Perhaps Purtrenza obcordata (Bot. Repol. ‘PL

574) may likewife unite with it. |

~ We fuppofe that Dr. Smitu’s D. myrtifolia above quoted

and the D. obovata of Lasittarprere are the fame as our

_ plant, although the figure of the latter, without the defcriptian,

would hardly lead to fuch a fufpicion. ‘Fhe name is not the

a appropriate, but as it has the right of priority we of courfe

adopt it.

This magnificent fpecies is a native of the Eaft-Indies. We

learn from Dr. Roxsuxc’s manufcript, that this fpecies is not

unfrequent in Indoftan, growing in pools of frefh water, and

in rivers, where there is little current. And that the feeds

are eaten both raw and boiled, and efteemed wholefome; and

Gypsopnita profrata and repens are perhaps not very

accurately diftinguifhed by Linus, and it appears to us

doubiful, if the former name may not have been mifapplied _

by us to the prefent figure; but as we apprehend that Lin-

N£us had his plant from Mizter, ever fince whofe time this

fpecies has been known under this appellation in our nurferies 5

and being lefs difpofed to creep at the root than the {pecies

ufually called repens, we think itat leaft fafeft to continue the name

as ordinarily pee The fynonymof PiuKenetabove quoted,

Was at firtt given to repens, and the other fynonyms of that

4pecies do not appear to belong to our plant. Lin aus expreisly

8 the flowers in profrata are white, and not inclined to red

a in repens ; as to the bell-fhaped form of the corolla, this

‘pends upon the time of flowering, and in the gee

the petals are exprefsly faid to be patent. The GyrsorHira

adfcendens of Jacquin is probably not different from this ; for

the length of the ftamens and piftils is not to be depended upon,

that of the latter varying much in the fame plant, according as

the flower has been expanded a longer or fhorter period, not

in this plant only, but in the whole natural order.

_A hardy perennial, adapted to ornament rock-work. Blooms

This plant varying with leaves more or lefs finely divided,

and with the corymb of flowers more or lefs compact, WiL1-

PENOw, in his monograph on the genus Acuitve, diftin-

Suifhed them as two {pecies; but, in the Species Plantarum, he

gain reduced them to varieties. - -

It was firft difcovered on the fummits of the lofty Alps of —

Auftria and Stiria, growing in the crevices of the rocks and

frightful precipices, by Crusrus, who has given a defcription

and good figure of it in his Stirpes Pannoniz, drawn however,

like ours, from a cultivated {pecimen, as he fays he fent feeds

and young plants to his friends in Holland, from which his

figure was executed, F

Nicuotas Cravena, an apothecary at Belluna, in the

Venetian territory, wrote a treatife on the virtues of this plant,

which he found on Mount Serva, and fuppofed it to be dif-

ferent from that defcribed by Crusius. He alfo obtained a

patent for preparing a conferve of it, and publifhed a treatife

on its virtues, which gave rife to a fevere attack from his

rival Pompsy Spreccuis. Both thefe authors have given

original figures of this {pecies, but neither of them are nearly

equal to that of CLusius.

From the above account it appears that Linnaus’s name

being derived from this Venetian apothecary, ought to have

‘been written Clavene. The miftake probably originated with

Hatter, who every where fpells this name with a double z;

and from him Lirnnzus moft probably derived all his know-

ledge of the writer.

~~ The Acuirtea Clavene may be confidered as a connefting

link between this genus and Artemifiz. According to Ciu-

‘stus it has not only the hoary appearance, but the bitter

_ tafte and f{cented feeds of the wormwood ; Cravena however

denies that this plant poffeffes either of thefe properties.

_ Cultivated by Mr. James Surnerzanp, in the Edinburgh

Botanic Garden, in the year 1683. It is a rare plant, being,

hike moft alpine plants, rather difficult to preferve. Planted

on rock-work, or ona wall, in a fhady fituation, it would moft

likely endurelonger than in a rich damp foil.

Flowers in June and July. Communicated by Mr. SAtis-

BuURy, from his Botanic Garden in Sloane-Street.

This native of alpine ftony paftures was firft difcovered by

Crustus, and is defcribed but not figured in his account of

plants obferved in Hungary, Auftria, and Stiria.

The original reprefentations of this plant by the older

Botanifts, are thofe of DaLtscnamp, Joun Bauutn, and

Ricuier pu Berrevat. The laft author, though now little

known, was Profeffor of Botany at Montpelier, in the time of

Henry IV. of France, and under the royal patronage eftablifhed

the firft botanical garden there. He was very induftrious in

fearching after new plants, and had defcribed and engraved on

copper feveral hundred fpecies, but dying before he could

give them to the world, they were long negleéted, and have

only within thefe few years been publifhed by Giiipert, in

his Demonftrations Botaniques.

Hauer has remarked, that there is more refemblance be-

tween C, thyrfoidea, f/picata, and Cervicaria, than might be at

firft fuppofed: it appears indeed that either the two former

have been confounded together, or that the /picata, fometimes

grows ina fhorter and more denfe {pike than ufual. Thus

A.vion1’s firft figure of this laft-mentioned fpecies is hardly

to be diftinguifhed from our plant, except that the braétes are

ovate-acuminate, and very little longer than the flower, and

the leaves have an undulate margin. But if the charaéter of

the braétes is to be depended upon, it will be doubtful whether

fome of the above-quoted figures do not rather belong to

Spicata than to thyrfoidea.. That of Joun Baunin we fhould

_ have concluded to have been C. Cervicaria, had not Scopott

informed us, that it is not at all unufual for the flowers of

thyrferdea to grow in diftin& alternate clufters, as that figure

reprefents.

_J4ceurn obferves, that when plants of the firft year were

removed into the garden and planted in a fhady damp border,

they grew two feet high the next fummer, and made a much

more clegant appearance than in their native place.

_Introduced in the year 1785, by Dr. Wittiam PiTcatRN.

Our drawing was made feveral years ago, from a fine flowering

plant in the late Mr. Curris’s Botanic Garden at Brompton.

_ We have already obferved that this was the fame with the

— sTagrans of Ventenat and RepouTe; we now find it to be

®Wery, gracile having been univerfally deemed a ftove plant,

Kewife the gracile of Hortus Kewenfis; an unlooked for dif-

and

and a native of Jamaica; while our plant is feen to thrive the

year through in the open ground, being moft probably a native

of Carolina and even Virginia. Such however as we have

feen in the hot-houfe, have always appeared to us to be drawn

and unnaturally flender, with fomewhat fmaller flowers and paler —

on the outfide ; and did not feem to be in their proper

climate. In neither fituation is any fragrance to be perceived

until evening and during the night, a circumftance that may

account for the name of inodorum, as well as the omiffion of

any notice of the fragrance of gracile in ‘the work above

mentioned. Juodorum was firft taken up by Dr. SoranpeR

in the Hortus Kewenfis; and although we may ourfelves be

fatisfied that our plant is his fpecies ; yet we muft admit, that

the defcription which the Doétor has bequeathed us in the

Bankfian MSS is too general and infufficient, and the original

fpecimen in the Herbarium in too imperfe& a ftate to fecure

us againft all objeétions that may be raifed by others as to their

fpecific identity ; wherefore we think it fafer, to make the —

the margin, notched, dark green, paler on the under furface,

fcarcely pubefcent, on fost/falks equalling the leaves in length :

very much the ¢uéiflora of the fame author, but the flowers are

totally different. :

_ Thofe Salvias which have the upper-lip of the calyx un-

divided, including moft, if not all, the South-American and

Welt-Indian fpecies, might, perhaps, be advantageoufly fe-

parated from the European ones, having a five-cleft calyx, and

formed into a diftin€& genus. This feparation would be a great

relief, in a genus fo extenfive, that Prof. Vaux has enumerated

one hundred and thirty-feven fpecies ; and has not even divided

them into feftions.. Donn, in his catalogue of the Cambridge

garden, has the prefent fpecies under the name of violacea, but

the violacea of Vaux is an annual and quite diftin& from this.

which the roots throw up in numbers, and ftrikes mott readily

Lately introduced into this country by Dr. Roxstren, from.

Chittagong on the Coaft of Bengal. Is faid to have firft

flowered in the colle&tion of Lady Amerta Hume. Our

drawing was taken from a fpecimen that bloomed this fummer

at Mr. Vere’s, Kenfington; where it was cultivated in the

bark-bed of the hothoufe. ‘The flowers kept falling off, parting

from the pedicle juft below the germen, without ripening their

fruit, indeed before they begun to decay. Mr. Brown believes

that there is a joint at the place where this feparation takes

place; but we could not ourfelves. perceive any. A very

jingular genus; fecms to us in general appearance to come

nearer to Herontas or rather Veratrum (if thefe genera

are to be kept diftintt) than to any other vegetable we know

of ; at the fame time they differ in feveral material points, as

may be feen by the above defcription, G.

— The Cofee-tree is fully defcribed by Exits and feveral other

Writers; and Gartner has given an elaborate defcription of

the fruit. Some points however are better explained by the

fecond figure from the left hand in our plate, which reprefents

@tranfverfe feAtion of the feed, feparated from its arillus. This

lews the manner in which the feed is, as it were, rolled up, as

if it had been originally compreffed and orbicular ; for that it

18 not the albumen alone, which is fo convoluted, is proved by

this, that the arillus can be vifibly traced through all the con-

Volutions. It is on account of this {tru€ture, that, when a per-

Pendicular feétion of the feed is made, a portion of it falls out

and leaves a cavity, as is reprefented both in Gertner’s and

our figures, The embryo does not lie expofed in this cavity,

“S-muight be conceived by the figures, but is imbedded in the

Suter or dorfal convolution and brought into view by diffeét-

As cultivated in our ftove’, the Coffee-tree, if allowed fuffi-

cient fpace, makes a very handfome evergreen fhrub, and will

both flower and ripen its fruit. The flowers, which are very

fweet-icented, efpecially after fun-fet, are fo like thofe of

Jaimin that it is not furprifing that botanifts fhould at fir have

confidered this tree as belonging to the fame genus.

Corrse had been imported into every part of Europe, and

ufed asa favourite beverage, long before it was known of what

plant it wasthe produét. Profper Alpinus had feen the Coffee-

tree, without fruétification, in fome gardens in Egypt; but the

firft intelligent botanical account was publifhed by Ant. pe

jusstev, in the memoirs of the Academy of Sciences in Paris

in 1713. It was introduced to Europe by means of Wirsen,

a Burgomatter of Amfterdam and Chairman of the Dutch Ealft-

India Company, who gave dire€tions to the governor of Batavia

to procure feeds from Mocha in Arabia Felix, Thefe being

fown in the ifland of Java, feveral plants were produced, and

one was tran{mitted to Witsen about the year 1690, who pre-

fented i: to the botanic garden at Amfterdam, of which he had

been the founder. From the progeny of this plant, not only the

principal botanic gardens in Europe, but alfo the Weft-india

iflands, were fupplied with this interefting tree. Within fix

years after its introdu€tion into Holland, it appears to have been —

cultivated by Bifhop Compton at Fulham. :

~ “Much has been written upon the effeéts of Coffee on the

conftitution, which by fome are confidered as highly falutary,

reconciling accounts fo contrary; but doubilefs the effeéts are .

various upon different perfons. One fource of difference has

not been fufficiently attended to, which is the mode of pre-

paring and taking it; exceffive roafting for inftance muft

‘change its qualities altogether, and reduce it to the nature of

charcoal; and what, as a grateful aromatic bitter, may, when —

_ taken pure, promote digeftion, fhall become altogether inimical

thereto by being mixed with fugar and cream. If we expect

io experience effeéts fimilar to what it produces upon the Arabs

and Turks, we ought to follow their example, to ufe it as foon

as roafted, and without admixture.

_ Flowers with us in Auguft and September. Propagated by

the berries, which muft be fown foon after they are gathered, or

they will not vegetate. Being native of Arabia Felix, within

the tropics, requires to be kept in the ftove, but fhould be

allowed a free circulation of air, or the leaves become damp

and covered with inleéts, which render the piant unfightly, and

if not remedied will infalliby deftroy it. Communicated by

The genus Fasricra was firft eftablifhed by Gzrtner, who

given an excellent figure of the fruit, and has been con-

firmed by Dr. Smiru in the 3d volume of the Tranfa@ions

of the Linnean Society. The petals have fhort ungues and

are not, as defcribed by Gertner, entirely feffile. The lamina

of the petals are nearly orbicular and undulated at the margin.

The laciniz of the calyx are refletted upon the germen and

temiorbicular, not triangular, at leaft in a recent ftate, though .

There is no Putox pilofa in the laft edition of the Hortus

—Cwenfis, confequently, if this fpecies had ever been intro-

“iced into our gardens, it was probably loft long before the

me of the publication of that work. It was however very

On after introduced by Mr. Fraser of Sloane-Square, who

{covered it in his travels in N orth-America, to which country

has mad@ no lefs than feven voyages, fome of which

were extended to the Weft-India Ifles and to Newfoundland,

for the purpofe of colletting plants; and many of our late

valuable acquifitions are due to his laborious zeal, particularly

the Jatropua pandurefolia, figured at No. 604 of this work ;

one of the moft ornamental plants in our ftoves, bearing a con-

ftant fucceffion of brilliant fearlet flowers through the whole

ear. )

If our fynonym from Ray be right, of which we can

hardly doubt, from his fo accurately defcribing the long,

pointed, hairy fegments of the calyx, this plant was, in his

time, brought from Maryland into England by a Mr. Ver-

non, but whether in a living or dried {tate he does not fay.

Pruxenert defcribes the flowers as white, but the colour

entirely difappears in drying, which might deceive him. That

our plant does however vary with white flowers we learn from

two very fimilar fpecimens preferved in the Bankfian Her-

bariuin, -fent-by Bartram in 1764. The flowers of one of

thefe are deferibed as flefh-coloured with a red centre, of the

- other white with a red centre; in both the ftems are ereét,

and the whole plant hairy even to the tube of the -corolla.

Mricuaux defcribes fimilar varieties of his arifata, which

adds to the probability that it is the fame with our pz/o/a.

~ Our drawing was taken in Mr. Vere’s garden at Kenfington-

Gore, from a fpecimen in which the corolla was often varioufly

jagged; but, except a few minute indentations, vifible at

their points, the lacinia are naturally quite entire, fometimes

obiufe at others pointed.

Mr, Fraser found this fpecies in the weftern parts of

Georgia and South-Carolina, and likewife about Santée River,

the very fituation which Micuavux points out as the habitat of

his aviftata. If our other fynonyms are corre, it muft like-

wife be indigenous to Maryland and Virginia.

_Flowers in May, June, and July. Is more tender than fome

of the fpecies of this genus.

__ This fpecies of Phlox is too nearly allied to the gne figured

in the preceding plate. The form of the calyx, the pubefcence

of the ftem and leaves, and the inflorence, are juft the fame

tn both, and the only points of difference, except in the

colour, fize, and flatter expanfion of the corolla, that we can

difcover, are that the ftem in our prefent plant is more de-

cumbent; the tube of the corolla ftraight and fmooth, which,

'n pilofa, is fomewhat curved and hairy ; the leaves are rather

roader in the middle and narrowed towards each extremity,

whereas in the other they are broadeft at the bafe and fre-

quently, but not conftantly, auriculated. oe

LUKENET’S figure appears to us to belong to our pild/a,

45 well as the fynonym quoted from Ray by Linnaeus, and

We fee no reafon to doubt but that it is the real pilofa of Lin-

Neus. But what Micuaux has defcribed for pi/o/a we take

to be our amena, Mr. Fraser firft difcovered it in 1786,

Rear the Santée Canal, in South-Carolina, and never met with

It in any other place. He has feveral times before attempted

to introduce it into England, but without fuccefs unul the

Prefent year. : :

We have given another fpecies of Goopta at No. 958,

but without any fpecific chara@ter, that being at the time the

only one known to us. It may be charatterized, Goopis

- dotifolia ; foliolis obovatis glabris, :

Our prefent plant is chiefly diftinguifhed by having its

branches, peduncles, and foliage covered with a foft pu-

befcence. There are, however, flight differences in every part,

fufficient to fhew that the two fpecies are really diftin&.

The plant from which our drawing was taken flowered but

_ _ The genus Goopta fhould be placed next to Bosst£A,

from which it is chiefly diftinguithed by its legume being only

two-feeded.

Both fpecies being natives of Van Diemen’s Ifland, may

perhaps be found hereafter to be hardy enough to live without

fhelter, in the open ground, at leaft-in the mildeft of out

This fpecies is even rather more of a climber than Briiar-

DIERA feandens (vide N* 801). It is in every flage of its

growth diftinguifhed by its narrower and fmoother leaves,

which are however clothed with a fhort pubefcence, fearcely

vifible to the naked eye; when in flower, the changeablenefs

of the corolla, which is at firft of a pale greenifh yellow and

fades to a reddifh purple, affords a ftriking diftin@tion. We

have not obferved the fruit to differ materially in fhape from

that of fcandens, but it is fmooth, and not villous, as in that.

The young fhoots are hairy, but the peduncles appear to us

to be always fmooth,

In our account of BittarpieRA /candens, in explanation of

fome difagreement between our figure and that given in Dr.

Smiru’s Specimen of New-Holland Botany, we inadvertently

attributed it to the latter being probably taken from a dried

Pecimen, without recolle@ting that, in the preface to that work,

Dr. Smiru had aflured us, that the drawings were all made

tom living plants; the difference muft confequently have

arifen from fome other fource.

Bittarprera mutabilis is an elegant little climbing fhrub,

Owering and fruiting through all the fummer months. It is

4 native of New South-Wales; is eafily propagated by cuttings,

or by feeds, which are frequently perfeéted with us.

The corolla has hardly any tube and is reverfed ; the three

laciniz which form the lower lip in moft of the fpecies, in this

form the upper lip and are ereé, the two lacinia forming the

under lip make an arch over the anthers, the parts of fruétifi-

Cation being entirely below the corolla inftead of above, as in

the reft. The anthers, which with the filaments are conneéted

into a column, are crowned with a fine pappus, as is the apex

of the ftyle ; but this part is not the true ftigma which, when

protruded beyond the anthers, is feen to be {mooth, bifid, and

revolute, and is inferted obliquely by an articulation into the

hairy apex of the ftyle. The flowers are not quite feffile, as

defcribed by Linn aus, but the fhort peduncle together with

two linear braétes at the bafe of the calyx are concealed by the

floral leaf. It may be confidered as a conneéting link between

Lobelia and Cyphia.

We know of no figure of the Yellow Lobelia, but the one

above quoted from Burmann, which is fufficiently accurate to

thew the identity of the plants. The fynonyms ufually quoted

from Herman and Ray are too uncertain to be depended

_ This plant, of which we have thought it right to make a

has with ZinciszR, and is feparated on the ground of its

different inflorefcence. Sufficient generic charaéters may how-

€ver be drawn from the flower itfelf; for the divifion of the

Corolla is different from what takes place in the other fpecies of

Loppa. In the latter the J/acénie are nearly equal and

fimilar except the labellum. In our plant the three external

lacinie are diffimilar, the upper one being rounded into a kind

of blunt /pur ; the two lower are fomewhat ear-fhaped. The

large yellow petal, the e@arium of Linnaus (/abellum nec

of the ne€tarium) is not, asin GLos BA Marantina and racemofa,

which are otherwife wanting ; as he confiders every flower in

the order of Scitaminez to confift of three external and three

internal lacinia.

The large petal-like bra&es, placed fingly at every divifion

of the {cape, are totally different from any thing to be feen in

any known {pecies of Guonsa. We ought not however to

omit, that this part, as well as the appendix at the apex of the

filament, feems to vary in every fpecies. In the figure of

racemofa, in Exotic Botany, there is no appearance of any

braéte at all, fo that if there ever are any, they mutt fall off

before the expanfion of the flowers.

The /eaves of our plant are broad-lance-fhaped, very much

elongated at the point, with petioles entirely fheathing the

ftem.

~ At the nurfery of Meffrs. Lez and Kennepy, of Hammer-

fmith, where our drawing was taken in June laft, the bloffoms

have been fancifully compared to dancing opera girls, the yellow

neétary making her petticoat, the outer lacinie her blue jacket

with lappets, and the filaments with its appendices her arms and

neck; the latter to be fure rather difproportionately long. To

us it appears to bear fome refemblance to the infeét called

‘Mantis, whence our name.

NOTE.

In our account of Attium ffriatum in No. 1095, we have,

on the authority of Jacquin, ftated that plant to be a native

of the Cape of Good Hope. Since then we have had oppor-

tunities of feeing it in feveral colleétions, where we found it

to be perfeétly hardy, growing in the common borders; and

were affured that it was a native of North-America, and not

of the Cape. We have compared over again feveral garden

fpecimens, with the fpecimen of OrnttHoca.um J4ivalve in

the Bankfian Herbarium (which we had in our Note in No. 1293

of this work doubtingly added to Attium gracile), are now

erfuaded that that is the fame with the ALiium /friatum,

and fhould be removed from gracile (the ALt1um inodorum of

No. 1129 and of the Addenda in No. 1142, pag. alt.). REDOUTE

has been led into the fame error with ourfelves concerning the

Habitat of friatum., We propofe to add the following fynonyms

Descr. Stem fhrubby, fourteen or fixteen feet high,

rounded, branched, Branches drooping, pithy, bearing a {o-

Leaves alternate, feffile, lanceolate, minutely fawed, feven or

eight inches long on the main ftem, fmooth, reticulated under- _

neath. Floral leaves exaétly like the reft, except in fize,

green, twice as long as the flower. Peduncle green, an inch

long, with two {mall oppofite fubulate braétes. Cua/yx green,

nearly hemifpherical cup-fhaped, torulofe ; with five lanceo-

Tate, acute, ereét, nearly equal, diftant teeth. Corolla tubular,

recurved, fplitting at the back, nearly the whole length,

and dividing upwards into three or five petals, which,

however, remain attached at their points; colour yellow at

firft, then orange, and going off a blood red. Félaments con-

‘neéted into a cylindrical tube, paffing out at the fiflure in the

back of the flower: Axthers united, ftriped, brown, hairy.

Germen conical, two-celled, detached “from the calyx except

our plant may be deleterious the offenfive fmell of the milky

juice, with which every part abounds, would lead one to be-

lieve; but certainly in a far lefs degree than what Fevitiese

defcribes. We have repeatedly fmelt to and diffe€ted the

flowers with impunity, and have not found it to occafion even

head-ach.

That our plant, however, is not the Rapuntium /picatum,

Soltis acutis, valgo Tupa of Feuttiesr, we think muft be

evident, from comparing his defcription and figure with the

above. He fays the flem has five flat fides, and is hollow;

that of our plant is rounded and filled with a hard pith. The

floral leaves in the Tupa are faid to be fhorter than the flower,

and with the peduncle and calyx of a red colour; the leaves

embracing the {tem and decurrent for two inches and a half;

fruit three-celled.

On the other hand, Feurrriee found his plant about the

fame part; he fays in 65° fouth latitude in the mountains of

Chili. Ours was found by Dr. Branort, formerly profeffor

of medicine in Cologne, at Valparayfo, who. communicated

the feeds to Meffrs. Luz and Kennepy, where our drawing

was taken. Mr. Arcuisatp Menzizs fome years before

colleéted it in the fame place. His fpecimen is preferved in

the Bankfian Herbarium; and it appears by the new edition

of the Hortus Kewenfis, that it was by him introduced inte

We received both this fpecies and punéata from the Rev.

Sackvitte Bare, at Withyam, near Tunbridge-Wells, in

September 1802. They had both flowered in very great per-

fection, but owing to an accidental delay in the delivery of

his letter, they did not arrive in a ftate fit for drawing. The

_ figure bere given was drawn from the colleétion of the late

- Jos. Waker, Efq. at Stockwell.

_ There are fometimes more than two flowers from the fame

point, but feldom more in flower at nearly the fame time. The

corolla is villous withinfide and deeply divided into five feg-_

ents, with the margins fomewhat rolled back. The branches —

Yee os age : =o as

are very fhort, nearly rounded, with tubercles more or lefs

obfolete, armed with a minute mucro.

Although thefe plants for the moft part grow in the hot

fandy foil of the fouth of Africa, yet they will often flower

‘better when fupplied largely with water, provided the heat of

the ftove be fufficient. Mr. Bare had kept the pans of both

the above-mentioned fpecies conftantly fupplied with water

and the ove very hot, to which he attributed their flowering

better than they had ever done with him before. Stapgtia

geminata had grown fo luxuriantly, that the branches hung

over the edge of the pot and threw out roots into the water

in the pan.

For this very rare plant, native of the rocks on the higheft

mountains of Auftria and Stiria, we are indebted to our old

friend Mr. Lovpices, in whofe garden at Hackney we have

obferved it in flower, for thefe two or three fucceffive years.

The tridentata of Hortus Kewenfis has been fometimes miftaken

for this, but is eafily diftinguifhed by its ternate leaves, and by

the teeth at the end of the leaflet, which are ufually three in

this alfo, being more obtufe. :

The flowers in PortenTILLaA clufiana are large in proportion

to the plant, obfoletely obcordate ; the alternate laciniz of the

calyx broader, more hairy, and of a dull red colour ; filaments

and ftyles at firft white, but changing red. From P. caulefcens

it appears to be chiefly diftinguifhed by its more diminutive

ftature, petioles fcarcely equalling the leaf, flowers larger and

fewer, and by the number of teeth at the end of the leaflets,

which are ufually three or five in clufiana, but feveral in cau-

lefeens. The latter, although more common in Auftria, has not,

we believe, as yet found its way into our gardens,

This {pecies belongs to the genus Villarfia of Venrenat,

adopted by Brown. We have before given our reafons in

part for not following this change ; to which we may now add,

that Brown himfelf feems to give up the charaéter drawn from

the flight difference in the attachment of the feeds, obferving

that Menyanthes chiefly differs from Villarfia by the difk of

the corolla being bearded lengthwife with naked margins, and

by its ternate leaves.

We cannot afcertain that_this fpecies is mentioned by Mr.

Brown in his Flora of New-Holland ;. but as thefe plants feem

to be extyemely variable, it may poffibly belong to his Vir-

LARSIA geminata; for the terminal pedicles in this are gene-

rally in pairs. But as he makes no mention of the remarkable

‘runners, feveral feet in length, putting out leaves and roots,

at intervals of about a foot and a half, in the fame manner

as the ftrawberry plant, we think it fafeft to confider it as a

different fpecies, efpecially as he himfelf doubts whether his

two varieties may not be diftin&; and if fo, the name of

We were firft favoured with this plant, by Mr. Kent of
