In the work above quoted Kamrrer has given both an

excellent figure and defcription of this vegetable, which we there

learn is a native of Japan and of China, where it is known by

a name correfponding with “ Snakefbeard ;” that it ferves for

edging to flower-borders, and that the tuberous knots which

_ grow on the fibres of the root are — in fugar and ufed

medicinally. 4

Tuunserc found it growing among fhrubs in fhady places,

near Naga Saki im the Hand of Japan. Introduced into Kew

Gardens, by Mr. Grarenr, in 1784. Blooms: in June. A

hardy greenhoufe plant; we have no doubt but that it would

grow in the open air full as well. 1

This plant has been defcribed by Jacquin, and more fully

by Swarrz in his Od/ervationes ; but neither of thefe authors

have remarked the fingular manner in which the footftalk of

: the leaf is inferted into the branch, through the medium of a

kind of glandular ftipule.

Jacquin fays the anthers are ‘haftate, but Swartz more

Correétly defcribes the filaments as fagittate, and the anthers,

which are affixed to the point of the arrow, as long and linear: —

thefe are curioufly interlaced in a fort of net-work round the

ftigma, enclofing it, as it were, in a cage. q

The ftem is too weak to fupport itfelf. The flowers are

large and fhewy ; and in this variety not villous on the outfide, —

The whole plant abounds with a milky juice, which is faid to

be very poifonous to horfes and cattle. Native of the favannas —

in Jamaica and St. Domingo, and alfo of dry heaths expofed —

to the fea-winds. Requires the heat of the bark ftove. Flowers —

with us in July and Auguft. Cultivated by Miiier in 1759. _

From

From a careful comparifon of many fpecimens with the —

defcriptions ahd figures of authors, we cannot but fufpeé that —

different fpecies have been confounded, under the name of ©

Potyconum /frute/cens, and that this circumiftance led the ©

late L’Heretier to confider the Atrapuaxis /pinofa as —

a diftin& fpecies, notwithftanding the obfervations of PaLias —

and Wixtticu. ‘The fpecies defcribed and figured by Di1- —

LENIUS, we think, is evidently only a variety of the one here ~

reprefented, though the Arrapuaxis /pinofa of L’HERETIER ©

(the fame with Poryconum frufe/cens of Patias, as we judge

from the {fpecimens) appears to be diftin&. Moft of the fyno-

nyms ufually quoted to Potyeonum /frutefcens, feem to us to

belong to a {pecies different from either of thefe, on which

account we have not ventured to adduce any of them here,

except that of Dittentus. Linnaeus himfelf feems to have

been very undecided whether to call the parts of the flower

in this genus calyx or corolla: in the Genera Plantarum the

former term is ufed, in the Syfema the latter. At firft fight,

the two outer reflexed fegments might pafs for the calyx, the —

three inner ones for the corolla; but a more careful invefti- —

gation fhows that thefe parts grow firmly together at the bafe,

are equally perfiftent, and increafe with the growth of the

‘fruit, chara€ters more appropriate to a calyx than acorolla, _ —

Linnezus inhis Flora Zeylanica, and is the fpecies known in

our gardens as the Mexia Azedarach; the fame plant being

deciduous in the greenhoufe, and evergreen if kept in the ftove.

Few plants, as it appears, have a wider range, being found in

North and South-America, and in the Eaft and Weft-Indies,

as well as in Syria. Is common, by cultivation, in al] the

Southern parts of Europe, where the nuts are threaded for

beads, to affift the devotion of good Catholics, for which pur-

_ pofe they are peculiarly fuited, having a natural perforation

' through the centre; hence the tree has been called ardor

and more efpecially at the Englifh fettlement of New South-—

Wales, at which latter place it is known by the name of the —

Cape Goofeberry, andis the chief fruit the colonifts at prefent —

poffefs: is eaten raw, or made into pies, puddings, or

preferves. =e 4

It does not appear to be unwholefome, though the Botanift, —

who fees the near natural affinity it bears to the Deadly

Nightfhade, can hardly diveft himfelf of the averfion arifing

from fuch an affociation. Domsty, indeed, in a memoir he —

wrote upon the fubjeé, attributes the origin of a cruel dif-_

order that prevails in Peru, to the too great ufe made of ©

Capficums, Love-Apples, and thefe Berries. (Vide Annals of —

Botany, -vol. 2, p. 480. : :

We fufpe& that this plant may have been taken up by Lin. |

naus, both in his Puysaxris pudbefcens and peruviana; the ©

fynonym from Feuriiesr, quoted under the former, certainly —

belongs to it, and the fpecimen in the Bankfian Herbarium, afcer- _

tained to be fimilar to that in the Linnean, feems to be fcarcely

different; yet the defcription given in the Spec. Plant. in which :

it is obferved that the berry fills the calyx, and that the ftem is —

annual and proftrate, is altogether inapplicable. The latter is —

faid by Linnaus to be very fimilar to Darura Metel,a_

refemblance we by no means obferve in our plant, otherwife g

the reft of the defcription and its native country, would induce —

us to believe them to be the fame. As however the defcription —

is very incomplete, and no mention is made of the fruit being —

eatable, we think it fafeft to confider this as a {pecies unknown —

to Linnaus, and to give it a name which fs perhaps in itfelf —

fufficient to diftinguifh it from every other. S136 oe

We received this plant from Gasaisn, Gitiett, Efq. in

whofe garden, at Drayton-Green, it has been cultivated fome —

years. Requires to be proteéted from froft, but fhould remain —

in the open air the whole of the fummer. In the ftove it is ever- _

green, and in the greenhoule lofes its foliage in the winter, but :

the ftems put forth new leaves and fhoots in the fpring, Flowers —

in June and July and ripens its fruit in Auguft and through the —

reft of the fummer. In South-America it towers through the

whole of the year, and its fruit is held in eftimation for its

fragrance as well as agreeably acidulated {weet tafte; and is —

likewite confidered as a ufeful cooling remedy in fevers. >

There is gréat affinity between this plant and Crematrs

calycina, more remarkable in fome fpecimens of the latter than

in the one from which our drawing (No. 959) was taken, in

which the involucrum is more diftant and grown out into the

form of eaves ; whereas it is more ufually clofe to the flower,

and has exaétly the appearance of a calyx. In the prefent

Plant, the peduncle above the involucrum is thickened and of

€ fame colour as the flower, fo that it might be miftaken for

4 tube of the corolla; and this caufes the involucrum to appear

as if clofe to the flower, which in reality it is not. =

Was firft obferved by Ciusitus, between Medina Sodina in

Andalufia and Gibraltar, and is common in other provinces of

Spain, alfo about Algiers and on Mount Atlas. It climbs up

trees, which it overwhelms. Although this plant is generally

mentioned by the old botanical writers, all their figures and

defcriptions are without exception copied from Criusius, who

faw it in feed only. It is fully defcribed by DesronTaiNes

in his Flora Atlantica.

Our drawing was taken from a plant communicated by Mr.

Loppicgs, cultivated in a pot, and kept in the greenhoufe ;

but Puirie Mixer obferves, that it endured the hardeft

winters of this country for forty years together in the open

ground at the Phyfic Garden, Chelfea, and that it flowers —

better than when treated more tenderly; in expofed fitua- —

tions, however, it is apt to perifh. Is propagated by laying

down the young fhoots in O&ober. Flowers in March and —

April. Suppofed to: have been cultivated by Gerarp in 1596,

but as he fays that he has found it in the {le of Wight, and in

a wood by Waltham-Abbey, perhaps he miftook fome variety

of CLemaris Vitalba for this fpecies,

Of this vegetable we can find no traces in any author known |

can be arranged. In habit it feems to us to come neareft to

Trritanps1a and Pitcarrania. Mr. Sarissury, of the

fome years ago by Mr. Fairsairn from the Weft-Indies, —

and cultivated by him in the Phyfic Garden, Chelfea. Re- |

quires to be kept in the hot-houfe, where it flowers and feeds

plentifully during the fummer months ; quite fcentlefs.

There is a fpecimen without flowers in the Bankfian Her- —

We have to regret, that accident prevented us from avail.

ing ourfelves of Mr. Grevittie’s very kind permiffion to

examine this. rare vegetable, while in bloom, for the firft time

in Europe, in his confervatory at Paddington, where it had

been introduced from the Eaft-Indies by Dr. Roxsurcn.

For the materials of our generic charaéter, we have relied,

partly on the defcriptions of Meffrs. Kenic and Roxsurci

in the above-cited work of the latter, and partly on a. figure

and diffeétions in the fame.

Gartner, judging from an ifolated fruit, has been be-

trayed into more than one error concerning our prefent fubjett.

Having examined the feed-veffel, he declares that it cannot

belong to the plant cited as the reprefentation of the parent,

from the above-quoted work of Rumpntus; but that it mut

be the offspring of fome vegetable of the natural order of

Scitaminee ; and proclaims it one of the moft remarkable

anomalies in the vegetable kingdom in regard to the wh

capfule, and feed, The error in fynonymy evidently arole

from his knowledge of the fubje&t being confined to the

fruit; as the phenomena he defcried in the ftruéture did

from his falfe view of the parts. He defcribes it to be a cap

fule confifting of “from 6—g fingle-feeded cells, arranged

“ one over the other, fubalternately, in two longitudinal rows or

* piled ranks ;” when in fa it isa pericarp that grows up from

a germen with three parallel cells, as ufual in this order of

plants; the contents of more than one or two of which cells

or ovaria are feldom impregnated, whilft the fterile ones are

obliterated, the ripening fruit becoming either one or tw0-

celled accordingly. The imaginary double pile of cells one

above the other, is no more than the feveral nidi- or cav

formed by each feed in the pulp of the vertical berried |

lament, in which it has been imbedded ; this by age has

converted into a dry fpongy fubftance, and fhrunk into

appearance of cruitlike tranfverfe partitions intercepting

each feed. His extraordinary ftyle, faid to be “ long, fili-

“form, and covered with hairs,” ts in reality a remmant

of the floral tube broken off by accident about the middle+

is “horny, lateral, beaked procefs in each feed, rofrum

Curculionis emulans,” from which he has named the genus,

we fufpeét to be merely the umbilical cord, and not very dif

ferent from that of the feeds of many other berried fruits

Orchiotdes was perhaps as irrelevant a {pecific name as

could have been hit upon. Rumputus defcribes the flowef

of his fpecimen as * Sordide albicans leto rubro intermixto.

He fays the root is eaten in India when candied. Is Kani¢

correé in calling it a biennial plant? G, rs

Not to have known any thing of it as growing in Auftria. This

Botanift at firft confidered it as a diftin@ {pecies, but obferving

it afterwards to bear fometimes flowers that were yellow on

both fides, he changed his opinion. Linn vs at firft, from

the fweetneis of the leaves, which Gzrarp fays have an ex-

cellent

cellent {weet fmell, more pleafant than thofe of the Eglantine, ©

miftook the Auftrian Rofe for the Sweet-Briar, and called it —

in confequence Rosa eglanteria ; a miftake that led to great —

confufion, and to the application of another name, that of —

rubiginofa to the Sweet-Briar. This name has been unfor- —

tunately generally retained, though, as the original miftake has _

been fince corrected by adopting the appellation of Jutea for

the Auftrian plant, that of eg/anterta ought to have been reftored _

to the Sweet-Briar, to which it originally belonged, and was

meant by Linnaus himfelf to have been continued, as his —

fynonyms evidently fhew.

~ Our friend, Dr, Arzerrus, in a moft elaborate, accurate,

and learned monograph on the Swedifh Rofes*, publifhing at

Upfal, has made this reftoration; and we regret that Dr, —

Situ has not done the fame in. his Flora Britannica.

The Red and Yellow Auftrian Rofe is a beautiful fhrub,

quite hardy, and well deferving a place in all our gardens,

where indeed it is almoft univerfally to be met with, having

been cultivated by old Parkinson above a hundred and fixty

years ago, who fagacioufly confidered it as only a, variety of

lutea, . : ;

Native of Germany, Switzerland, and. France, where it

Stows at the foot of the Alps, or in fhady moift vallies, but

never

never in open expofed fituations: confequently it requiresa

moift loamy foil and a fheltered fituation, for want of atten:

tion to which, it generally dwindles and frequently perifhes 1

gardens ; indeed it is faid to be always much lefs vigorous and

beautiful when cultivated, than when it grows fpontaneoufly.

It feems doubtful whether Partas’s plant be the fame fpecies, -

fince he defcribes it as growing nearly three feet high, as having ~

a corolla three times quinquifid, a fpathaceous calyx, with fome —

of its fegments frequently extending: to the length of the -

corolla, and as being the leaft bitter of the whole genus; —

whereas our plant feldom exceeds a foot and half, has a {mall

tooth between the fegments of the corolla, that is what we

fuppofe Pattas would call twice quinquifid, and a fmall calyx,

of which the fegments are equal and feveral times fhorter than

the corolla ; its root too is faid by the accurate CLustus (0

be intenfely bitter. We ought, however, to mention that

Linn us defcribes the calyx as being equal to the corolla.

Mr. Loppices received the feeds of this plant from Mount

Caucafus, under the name of CurysaNnTHEMuM rofeum, and

we find fpecimens of the fame from that country in the Bankfian

colleGtion with this appellation. It is however doubtlefs the

coccineum of WiLLpENOw, as we have fatisfied ourfelves by a

Comparifon of the Caucafian fpecimens with one gathered by

OURNEFORT himfelf, and preferved in the Bankfian Her-

arlum. When in vigour, its ftems are fometimes a foot and

half high, and more upright than in our drawing.

Buxeaum’s figure is much better than many of his are,

but inftead of any account of the plant, except TouRNEFoRT’s

name, he gives rather a fevere criticifm upon this author for

1s oftentatious ufe of the term orientalis fo conftantly re-

Peated ; in which, to fhow the impropriety of ufing this name,

“s well as that of dyxantinus, conflantinopolitanus, and fuch

ike, he remarks that he has obferved in Byzantium moft a

the fame plants which grow at Montpelier and in Auftria; on

Mount Olympus and the high ridge of Cappadocia the fame |

as on the Alps ; and that Armenia and Georgia produce molt |

of thofe of Italy, and the deferts of Media thofe of Spain. —

But whatever truth there may be in this, it is doubttefs of the

greateft ufe to record the native country of the plants treated —

on; as it is from a comparifon of a plant with analogous ones

from the fame country, that the Botanift can frequently arrive

at its true genus more readily than by any other meagige We

fufpe& too that Buxnaum’s affertion is far too Be: :

very diftant places of correfponding latitudes, fimilar foils, and —

more elpecially at the fame altitudes, the face of the vegetable

kingdom will fometimes have a general refemblance ; but this

fimilarity arifes from the growth of plants of the fame natural

order, often perhaps of the fame genus, but to meet with

precifely the fame fpecies, though this may now and then

happen, will certainly be a more rare occurrence. i

The CurysantTHEMuM coccineum isahardy perennial; may

be propagated by parting its roots; flowers in September and

from Caressy’s figure and defcription; we have very litle —

doubt but that it is in reality the reprefentation of the Euro- —

pean maritimum, which Catessy probably faw in bloom at

fome of the Englifh gardens of that day; when judging from

general appearance, he believed it to be the fame with the —

plant which he fays he had feen in America, and which moft

likely was in fa& the prefent {pecies ; with this impreffion he

had it figured, and publifhed it for what he believed it to be.

We fufpe& alfo that the Lirrum pen/ylvanicum of our No.

diftin& fpecies from dulbiferum, has no better pretenfion to —

an American pedigree; the figure of it is found in the Work —

-on the Natural Hiftory of Carolina, by the fame author, where

he tells us that he faw the plant in bloom in England, at Mr.

Cox.inson’s, in 17465, and that it was a Penfylvanian vegetable.

- But we are much deceived, if, inflead of being a child of

America, its parentage be not to be traced back to either

China or Japan. We fulpe& it-to be the L. philadelphicum.

The Auftrian Flax is nearly allied to the common and the

perennial Flax; it has however much fhorter peduncles, and

confequently a more compaét panicle, which gives it a dif-

erent habit; this difference is aided too by the peduncles

being refle&ted whilft the flower is in bud.

The general habit is well expreffed in the figure quoted

@0ove from TaBERNAZMONTANUS, but the calyx is incor-

te€tly reprefented as acute. It isa hardy perennial, flowers

in June and July, and may be propagated by parting its roots.

Crusrus, in his account of the plants of Spain, defcribes a

{pecies of Flax which he met with near a deferted church in

ortugal, putting forth frefh fhoots in the month of November,

and luckily with fome of the feed-veffels ftill remaining on the

me ftalks. Thefe be took with him to Holland, and

raifed a fingle plant, which continued to bear flowers at the

tter-end of the fummer, for fome years, but produced no

ced. He defcribes this plant as having, from one root, three

or four flender downy ftems a foot high, divided near the top

to two or three branches, rolled back at their extremities in

the manner of the greater Turnfole, and covered with white

wers veined with purple, nearly as large as thofe of the

-. Mallow; the leaves, he fays, are rather wide, downy, three-

nerved,

nerved, .and not unlike thofe of the Afcyron’ (Hypericum:

quadrangulare.)’ From the time of Ciusius we find no men-

tion made of this plant, except what has been’ copied from |

him, unlefs the flight. mention of a fpecies of Linum, in the

Hiftoire Générale des Plantes, publifhed at Lyons, above

quoted, be, as is confidered by Bauutin, a fynonym of this,

The above defcription we apprehend is fully competent to fhow

that the plant here figured is the fame with that of Crusius. |

The Linum agrefe of Brotero, being, as he fays, very nearly

allied to the common Flax, can have nothing to do with the ©

one Ciustus found; which, as this author has himfelf re-

marked, is very nearly allied to Linum hirfutum ; of which,

perhaps, both this and Linum hypericifolium (No. 1048) may

be only varieties,

Our plant was feveral years fince in the Botanic Garden at

Brompton, where our drawing was taken; but from whence

it came, or by what means it was loft, we are ignorant.

_ Flowers in July and Auguft; is a very beautiful {pecies, and

its reftoration to our gardens is very defirable,

name

name of Esenus ¢retica, which was firft impofed upon it by

Prosper Axpinus or his friend Pona, and being adopted

by Linnaus, has become very general; but Lamarck,

Jussteu, and WiLLpENow, confider it as a fpecies of An-

THYLLIS, and referve the name of Esenus for the totally

different tree, which produces the Ebony wood. The plant

here figured is a native of Candia, and other iflands in the

Archipelago. Is a hardy greenhoufe fhrub, requiring a great

deal of air and light, plenty of water in the fummer, but

very little during the winter. Flowers in June and July,

Propagated by feeds, which it fometimes perfeéts in this”

country; though, unlefs properly treated, it rarely even

flowers. Our drawing was taken at Mr. SALissury’s Bo-

This is the plant we formerly fufpe&ed to be only a variety of —

‘Zizipwora ferpyllacea (vid. No. g06) but having fince com-

pared the living plants, we are now fatisfied of their fpecific

difference. The one here figured is altogether fmaller, with

ftems more procumbent, flowers of a different colour, fila.

ments much longer, and has none of the pleafant odour of

the other. It bears much the fame relation to Z. /erpyliacea

as Tuymus Januginofus does to T. ferpyllum. Both f{pecies

approximate very clofely to the genus Tuymus. Perhaps, in-

deed, the whole genusof Z1zipHora is not naturally diftiné,

but rather made up of certain fpecies of Tuymus, having only

two ftamens,

This is alfo a native of Mount Caucafus, and the feeds of

it received from thence by Mr. Loppices. Flowers in

After Jusstzv, in his Genera Plantarum, from whence the

above generic charaéter is chiefly taken, had fo fatisfaGtorily

eftablifhed this genus, it is furprifing that all Botanifts ~

7 have

have ftill continued to unite it with Brenonra, from which

its habit, two-cleft calyx, and downy feeds, combine to feparate

it. We fhould not lay much ftrefs upon its never having '

more than two fertile ftamens, had this been the fole difference;

though, in the artificial fyftem, this circumftance neceflarily

removes it into a different clafs. It muft be allowed however

that this feparation is doing the fame violence to -nature, as

the removal of Salvia and Ziziphora from their near relatives

Dracocephalum and Thymus. Such are the imperfeétions of all

artificial arrangements.

Our fpecific chara€ter was framed to diftinguifh it from

Bicnonta /ongifima of Jacquin, the only congener of our

plant that we are acquainted with, which may be charaéterifed,

Caratra Jongifima foliis oblongis undulatis. The Japan

plant above quoted does not appear to be different from the

American fpecies; and B. tomentofa, another native of Japan,

does not belong to Cara.pa, having a five-cleft calyx and

different feed-veffel and feed. -

The Catatea, which Caressy fays was firft difcovered by

himfelf and brought to Carolina, where-it was afterwards much

cultivated on account of its beauty, has been long an inha-

bitant of our gardens, being introduced by the fame Botanift

about the year 1728. In fheltered fituations, if the foil be

moift and rich, it thrives freely and formsa very handfome tree,.

but where expofed to the north-eaft winds is apt to be greatly

disfigured by the perifhing of the ends of the fhoots. It bears:

the {moke of large towns better than moft trees; the largeft

fpecimen we have ever feen grows in the garden belonging to the

Society of Gray’s-Inn. :

A native of the banks of the Ohio and Miffiffippi. Flowers

with us in july and Auguft, but we have never known it

to produce feeds. :

The firft notice we have of this beautiful fhrub is from

Colonel Harpwicxg, in his narrative of a journey to Sirina-

8ur, above quoted, where it is faid to be well known in the

gardens at Cawnpore and Lucknow by the name of Gul-

Afhurfee, and to be a native of the higheft mountains be-—

tween Nataana and Adwaanee. Dr. Smitx publifhed a figure

of this plant in his Exotic Botany for February 1785, and in-

otms us that it flowered in the ftove of the Right Honourable

HARLES Grevitie, at Paddington, the preceding Decem-

t. It has fince found its way into many colleétions about

ai Communicated to us both by Mr. Wurttey, and Mr.

ALIsBury, of the Botanic Garden. Mr. Donn, of the firft

ority in thefe matters, confiders it as a greenhoufe fhrub, -

and fays it flowers in July and Auguft. We have feen it gene-

Y In ftoves, producing its bloffoms in November and De-.

~ yee Their natpral feafon in the Eaft-Indies is in March

pri . : ‘

. There is fomething in the habit of this fhrub, which, befides

ving only three ftyles, and above all its.ftigmas being

lobular, would lead us to doubt if it be a real Linum;

a We have had no opportunity of examining the fruit, by

ch the queftion muft be decided.

_ The Gentrana Pneumonanthe is fabje€&t to vary very much

In the width of its leaves, number and fize of its flowers, and

eight and ftrength of its tem. Frequently it is a low plant with

aftraight ftem, bearing © fingle, or a fecond flower at the fummit;

Ometimes it is feen with a ftem a foot and half high with numer-

Sus flowers, both terminal and lateral, the latter growing two

or three together in the axil of the fame leaf. Our plant has a

Weak ftem, hardly able to fupport the flowers, which are of the

Seft fize, and at firft fight feem remarkably different from the

_ ‘Wual appearance of G. Puenmonanthe, particularly on account

of the white fpecks within the fegments of the corollas; yet we

can find no fpecific chara@ters by which it may be diftinguifhed

om all the varieties defcribed by authors, even the dots are

~*h not wanting in the other varieties, though coe

confined to the tube of the corolla. Upon the whole, there. —

fore, we are inclined to confider this plant as not {pecifically

diftin& from G. Pueumonanthe. Thofe who think otherwife,

may ufe the name of guttata, which we have added for the

convenience Of cultivators, as was often done by Linnavs

when a variety was more than ufually remarkable. e

We have thought it totally unneceflary to repeat the fyno-

nyms of a fpecies fo long known. to Botanifts ; and which

may be feen in WititpeNow and Martyn’s MI .ter’s

Dictionary, as it is the variety only of which we are treating,

The remarks which Patias has made on G. Pneumonanthe,

in diftinguifhing it from his ¢rifora, apply fo well to our plant,

that we fufpeé he had the fame in his eye.

Differs from our common Harebell (Scrxrxa non /cripta)

in having a ftraighier raceme with the Howers not bent for-

wards into one rank; the corolla urceolately or broadly cam-

panulate and not cylindrically fo, with the edges recurved but

not. revolute ; in having the ftamens alternately adnate to the

fegments of the corolla for not more than half their length,

inftead of nearly the whole of it, while the others are entirely

free ; the {cent is alfo far weaker than in our wild {pecies. We

have feen it with bulbs not bigger than a nutmeg, and with the

fame nearly three inches in diameter, compofed of broad even

lamine, much in the manner of the roots of the Crown Imperial ;

thefe have thrown out numerous fafcicles of leaves from be-

tween their concentric lamina, and ultimately broken up into

as many feparate bulbs. Varies with blue-violet, azure, pink,

and white corollas, as do each of thefe again in fize.

Hyacantuus cernuns of Linnaus is merely a_ pink

variety of his H. (now Sciiia) non fcriptus ; in conftituting

which a diftinét fpecies, and giving to it a Spanifh origin, he

has been moft probably mifled by Cuusrus, who to the de-

{cription of the prefent fpecies, which he calls H. /i/panicus,

has adjoined under the fame title, a cut of the Harebell or

S. non fcripta, the ftamp or block of which had previoufly

ferved Dopon aus to reprefent that plant in his Pemptades.

Linnaus had evidently overlooked this piece of inaccuracy.

The Bankfian Herbarium fhews that the H. cernuus of SoLaN-

ber in the Hortus Kewenfis and the Sc1.La campanulata of the

fame are both contained in the varieties now given. The ad-

hefion of the alternate ftamens fometimes varies in different

flowers of the fame plant, but feldom exceeds the diftance of

half their length.

A native of Spain and Portugal. Perfeétly hardy. Has

been cultivated in England from the days of Parkinson.

Blooms in May and June.

From New-Holland. Although now common in our green- _

houfes, it has fo happened that we have miffed every oppor- -

tunity of examining the bloom. From a diffe€tion of the

mens, given in the above cited plate of the Botanift’s Repo-

fitory, the anthers appear to us to be three and bilocular ; one

on each alternate filament, and not, as defcribed in the Linnean

Tranfa&tions, two on each fertile filament. Our view of thefe

Parts has, befides the appearance we have mentioned, the

nttion of analogy, as well as the opinion of a very accom

Plithed Botanift, who has repeatedly examined them in {peci-

Mens colle&ted by himfelf in their native regions. OF ea

culture, and blooms freely. G.

Descr. A low bufhy fhrub. Leaves oval, quite entire

veined, pale underneath, {moothifh when old, but when young

Covered on the edges and under furface with fhort glandular

alts, Peduncles fubfolitary, axillary, one-flowered, furnifhed

with a pair of leaflike bra@tes. Calyx fuperior, five-cleft,

glandular, Corolla cernuous, white, bell-fhaped, divided into

five rounded fegments. Stamens perhaps naturally ten, as the

Corolla is five-cleft, but in a number of flowers, carefully

€xamined, we obferved but eight. Filaments fhort, wide, in-

ferted into the flefhy rim within the calyx, but attached at the

ame time to the corolla, fo as to fall off with it. Anthers

two-

two-awned: awzs ere&t, longer than the body of the anther,

Germen oval, hairy. Style ere&t, equal to the corolla, longer

than ftamens. Stiga obtufe.

The Vaccinium dumsfum is a native of North-America.

Forms a pretty compaé fhrub; is deciduous and perfeétly

hardy; but the foliage being fo liable to be injured by our

Jate frofts, it makes a handfomer appearance, when it has the

fhelter of a greenhoufe in the fpring. May be propagated by

layers, which, however, do not fpeedily take root. Requires

a peat foil mixed with loam. Flowers in May and June.

Introduced by Dr. Wittram Pitcarrn in 1774.

fometimes, according to Crayton, with only two leaves in-

This beautiful little plant is a native of the Alps of Lap-

land, Norway, and Labrador, and appears to be known only

In thofe northern regions; for of the four fynonyms quoted

y Linnaus, in his Flora Lapponica, from the older Bo-

tanifts, three belong to Anprosace /adiea, and the fourth to

SAXIFRAGA cefia. It feems, therefore, that, before it was

difcovered by Linnaus, and defcribed and named by him in

his Flora Lapponica, the Diapenfia was altogether unknown to

Otanifts,

It is difficult to underftand why Juss avi

Moved this genus from his Lyfimachiz, amongit which it had

fen arranged by Linnaus, to add it at the end of his Con-

Volvuli. With Primula, Androface, and Aretia, particularly

the latter, it has a very near affinity ; notwithftanding the

apfule, according to Linn£us, is three-valved and three-

title

title of americana, which appears to be: the fame with Pyxip-

ANTHERA Sarbulata of Micuaux: this has certainly great

affinity with, if it be not really a congener of, our plant.

For an opportunity of treating our readers with a reprefenta-

tion of this charming little vegetable we are indebted to the

Right Honourable Coartes Grevirtie, Efg. in whofe col-

leGtion, at Paddington, it flowered in February laft.

It requires the treatment of other hardy Alpine plants.

Native of North-America, and but recently introduced into

our gardens. Differs from the European {pecies, with which

it has been generally confounded, in having a green triquetrally

club-fhaped ftyle, not terminating in three recurvedly patent

-foldingly channelled Rtigmas; nor did we perceive any traces

of the neétaries found at the bafes of the fegments of the Co-

tolla in Deus Canis, nor of the tranfverfe appendages of the

three inner ones of the fame. But of this circumftance we

_ €annot fpeak with certainty, as the bloom was confiderably

faded when we obtained it for examination.

This is a very handfome greenhoufe fhrub; native of the

Mand of Madeira, from Silene it was introduced into this

country,

country, by Sir Josrru Banxs, in 1775, and is now ve

common. Sit’ Hans. SLOAN£ gathered’ a»barren ‘branch of ’

the fame fhrub near Fenchal, and publifhed a figure of it in

his Hiftory of Jamaica. oe -

It has been obferved, that from the lengthened tube and

the want of any divifion: in. the upper lip, this fpecies rather

belongs to Ajuca than to Tsucrium; thefe genera are

however fo nearly allied, that, perhaps, there is no natural

diftinétion between them. AS ;

_ Produces its fragrant flowers nearly the whole of the fum-

mer ; is eafily propagated: by cuttings, and requires little care:

qualities which have occafioned it to be very common. Our

drawing was taken from.a fpecimen at Lord Houtann’s..

it by any means uncommon in the mountainous diftriéts in the

South of France, particularly in the vallies of the department of

the Hautes-Pyrenées, in the mountains of Arragon, and in the

northern parts of Portugal ; all which circumftances confidered, -

it feems furprifing that the older Botanifts fhould have left us no

certain account of this plant. The fynonym from Tourn EFORT

was adduced by Venrenart on the authority of VarLLanTs ©

Herbarium, but Scarucuzer, who has mentioned Tourn®-

Fort’ plant in his Itinera Alpina, probably miftook it for

Crrastium fomentofum, as we infer from the other fynonyms

‘ne has quoted. The firft fatisfattory account we find of the

AARENARIA montana is in Dr. Monnier’s Obfervations on —

the Natural Hiftory of the Southern Provinces of France,

publifhed at the end of M. Casstnt pe Tuury’s Work on

plant he has defcribed under the name of ARENARIA mon

tana to be the fame with that of Linnxus, but a comparifon

of his own with Monnrer’s defcriptions, leaves no. room 0

_ doubt of their identity. It is a perfeétly hardy perennial,

The leaves of this fpecies, a native of North-America, are

els deeply divided than in any other with which we are ac-

- quainted; a chara@ter that diftinguifhes it at firft fight. The

flowers refemble thofe of A. Cammarum, but the point of the

helmet-fhaped petal turns inwards, inftead of being refleétedy —

as It ufually is in the laft mentioned fpecies; the fide-petals

are kidney-(haped and appear ciliated, when viewed through a

lens; the lower petals are unequal. This plant has been fup-

Pofed to be the Aconitum japonicum of Tuunsere, which

that Botanift defcribes as having flowers very fimilar to A.

Lycofonum, and muft be therefore altogether different. The —

Japan fpecies, we fufpe&t, has never been feen in this country,

though its name occurs in fome of our catalogues,

_Itis more from the comparifon of our plant with the fpe-

cimen in the Bankfian Herbarium, than from its exaét agree-

ment with the defcriptions of Linnaus and Micuaux, that

we confider it to be the uncinatum.,

The very curious ne€taries in this genus, and which really

are receptacles of honey, are Called by Jussieu petals, toge-

ther with the minute coloured excrefcences, furrounding the

ermens; and what Linnzus calls corolla is confidered by

fim as the calyx. |

The Anemone xarcififiora, although rarely met with in out

colleétions, is a very common plant on the high mountains, in_

the South of Europe; and in Siberia, according'to Gme.in,

from the river lanifi nearly to the 54th degree of Northern lati-

tude. We have feen dried {pecimens alfo from Mount Caucafus,

Is faid by*Ciusius to be {weet-fcented, which we could not

perceive. This plant varies very much in ftature and in the

fize of its flowers; and the Anemone fa/ciculata of the Species

_ Plantarum is one of thefe varieties. _Moft probably too, Cxv-

sius’s Ranunculus montanus with a purple flower, above

quoted, which he had not feen himfelf, but received the de-

{cription and drawing of it from his friend Dr. Tuomas

Penny, of London, is another variety ; but if fo, the calyx,

which appears below the flower in the figure, muft be an —

error. Our plant has frequently petals ftained with purple —

on the outfide, efpecially when paft its prime. - It is one of

the moft fhewy of the alpine plants, prefers a moift fituation |

The Mimosa fria, a hardy greenhoufe fhrub, isa native

of New-Holland, and being propagated by cuttings, as well as

by feeds, which long preferve their vegetating ftate, is fre-

quently met with in the colle€tions about the metropolis, Has |

no fcent. Introduced .by Governor Paterson in 1790,

Flowers in the fpring months. Communicated by Mr. Lop-

DIGES, a.

Witipenow has thought fit to reftore the old name of |

Acacia, confidering the fenfitive plants as a diftin& genus,

for which he retains the name of Mimofa; but as other di-

vifions of this too extenfive genus muft be made, which can-

not be properly executed without comparing the feed-pods,

we think it fafeft at prefent to arrange all thefe plants, as _

heretofore, under the name of Mimosa; for as few of them

ever produce ripe feed in Furope, no attempt to divide them

can be fuccefsful, till fome Botanift, who has an opportunity of

examining their fruit, fhall undertake it.

All the fimple-leaved Mimofas fhew pinnated leaves in the

feedling plant; whence it may be doubted whether they are

not in reality leaflefs, having only dilated leaf-ftalks; but, as

thefe are.veined like leaves, there can be no doubt but.that

they perform the fun&ion of fuch; and we have not hefitated

to adopt the common language, without entering into the

queftion whether they are properly leaves or not. .

“Martruioxus, the firft Botanift who notices this plant,

fidered it asa fpecies of Deadly Night-Shade, and even

defcribed the fruit as being a black berry; by which he mifled

ll the older Botanifts. Scoroxt, @ Phyfician and celebrated

faturalift at Ydria in the Frioul, firft gave a true defcription

the fruit, and having an opportunity of fearching in the Sal-

Vatine mountain, near Goritia, where Martutotus difcovered

‘lt, was able to afcertain that his plant was the fame. Although

5 Scopoxr pointed out the difference in the fruit, he continyed

_ to confider it neverthelefs as a fpecies of ATRoP 4. Jacquin.

_ attempted to raife it to the dignity of a new genus, and named

it, in honour of the above Botanift, Scopola; but Linnzus

- added

added it to the genus Hyoscyamus, with which, according

to Gartner, its fruit perfeétly correfponds. ef

Notwithftanding thefe authorities, we are inclined to think,

that the firft ideas of the’ near affinity of this plant -with the

Bella-Donna were perfeétly jaf. The habit and form of the

corolla are the fame in both; nor is there that difference in

the fruit which at firft fight may appear fo ftriking: ifexamined —

in an unripe ftate it is fimilar in both fpecies, being bilocular—

with a large flefhy central receptacle. he difference confifis

in this, that as the fruit approaches maturity, the flefhy parts

in the Bella-Donna become more fucculent and ripen into a

dark-coloured juicy berry ;- whilft in our plant thefe parts

evaporate, and the fruit becomes a dry capfule inftead of a

_ berry. Similar differences in the fruit of very nearly allied

{pecies, in other genéra, are not wanting. The calyx can

"hardly. be properly faid tobe inflated, being applied clofe to

capfule from the fhrinking of the latter in ripening,

The duration of this plant above ground is but fhort, for

{pringing up in April, it goes {peedily into flower, ripens its

deeds in June-or early in July’; after which the ftems foon

dry up, and the roots remain dormant in the earth till the

Dr. Smira’s chara@ter of EmBoTHRIUM, when he {peaks of

the flower as confifting of four petals, may fometimes miflead ~

. the ftudent who is unacquainted with the natural order of

Protez, in which the petals are apt to cohere more or lefs

firmly; fo as frequently to make the corolla appear to confift of

one petal only. In the prefent fpecies, in the living plant the

corolla is divided but a very fmall diftance from the extremity, —

except that at the back it is early {plit almoft to the bafe, by

the ftrength of the ftyle. Under other circumftances, however,

_ the petals may perhaps divide much farther down. In the ftate

it occurred to us we fhould defcribe it as a monopetalous

flower: tube 8-angled, burfting on one fide to admit of the

egrefs of the ftyle ; limb divided into four fegments, bearing

the anthers in a hollow formed near the point, and rolled

back foon after the efcape of the ftigma, which does not take

A plant entirely diftin& from the difora of Linn&us, the

fpecimen of which (as depofited by him in C LirroRp’s Herba-

rium) is now in the poffeffion of Sir Josepu Banks. That has

feveral flowers, with the tube of the corolla feveral times

longer than the germen, and is altogether a far {maller plant,

approaching very near to pumila ; of which perhaps it is a mere

variety ; and moft likely not a native of Portugal. From ger-

manica our {pecies differs on the other hand, in being {maller,

in the black-red colour of the corolla, in fragrance, in having

afimple and generally one-flowered ftem, inftead of one with

branches and feveral flowers; as alfo in having a cylindrical,

and not a trigonal germen; the leaves are alfo of a yellower

hue. The ftem is from half to a foot high.

_Grows in chalky fpots near Lifbon. Sir Taomas Gace was

Kind enough to permit us to examine a part of his herbarium,

where we found a fpecimen of it, gathered near the above city b

; : himfel °

himfelf. It very rarely has two flowers; and not one plant in

fix hundred, according to Brorero, has three.

Our prefent {pecimen had been cultivated in the fame

garden for fourteen or fifteen years, and there it was never

feen in bloom before laft May.

Subbifera would have been a’ more: appropriate fpecific

name than /ubdiflora ; the circumftance of the fame root fome-

times throwing up flowering-ftems, at different feafons of the

year (fpring and autumn) being what was intended to be ex-

preffed by it. By the Portuguefe it is called the Red Iris.

The corolla is very like to, but fmaller than that of germanica.

It is by far the moft fragrant of the genus known tous. Is

faid to vary with pale fulphur-coloured flowers.

Seems to have been known to the older Botanifts; but

we never met with it in bloom till now. G,

__ Mr. Purirp Mitre received feeds of this plant, gathered

in the neighbourhood of Panama, from Mr. Rosert Mitiar,

_ and propagated it in the Phyfic-Garden at Chelfea, in 1735-

He gave a fpecimen of it to the Royal Society, under the

‘Tame of Datea; but Linn£us, to whom he communicated

feeds, named it Browautra, in his Hortus Cliffortianus, in

commemoration of J. Browatxius, Bifhop of Aboa, who

had defended the fexual fyftem againft S1ecrsBEck. -

_ There are only two known {pecies of this genus. The other

_isfigured at No. 34 of this work, and has been for feveral

years common in our gardens; but this fpecies though firft

Introduced, we believe, has been long entirely loft in this

country. Our plant was raifed in the garden of Mr. Vers,

from feeds received from Prof. WiLLDENOW. ‘ih

| ot

Both fpecies are at firft very much alike; nor does there

appear to be that difference in their growth which the fpecific

names would lead us to fufpeft. In general the prefent plant

is rather more {preading, and the lower branches are more

‘reclined, It has larger flowers, but far lefs brilliant, being

of a paler violet colour, with a larger eye in the centre; the

tube of the corolla is fhorter in proportion to the calyx and of

an herbaceous colour; the peduncles are all folitary in the .

axils of the leaves, whereas in e/ata, the terminal flowers grow

in a fort of corymb without leaves: this difference is, however, |

more remarkable when the plants are in feed than whilft in

bloffom. The whole-plant, but efpecially towards the upper

part, is more hairy in demiffa, and the leaves more rounded at

the bafe, frequently even cordate. The feeds in the latter are

alfo of a paler brown colour, and the fruit, which varies much

in fize, generally larger.

We were favoured with both fpecies, that we might have

the better opportunity of comparing them at different {tages of

their growth, by Mr. Anpexson, Botanic Gardener to J mes

Vere, Efg. who'e colleétion he manages with fuperior {kill

and more {cientific knowledge than is often met with. :

_ Flowers in July, Auguft, and September, at the fame time

In habit, this fpecies exa&tly correfponds with Dr. Smrrn’s —

Vevreia, to which genus Lagrrrarpiere has. referred it.

But the calyx of Dr. Smirn’s Vetveta confilts of three large

Jeaflets, whereas in this the calyx differs from that of the other

Goodenias in nothing but in not being adnate to the germen,

- acircumfance, which fometimes takes place in other inftances,

in the natural order of Campanulacee, Except in this. point,

and in the feptum of the capfule being fhorter, every part of

the flower and fruit approaches fo near GoopENta grandiflora,

in which alfo the capfule fplits into four parts at the point,

that we can find no line of generic diftin@ion. We have

therefore thought it beft to arrange it with the Goodenias, till

we have the fatisfalion of feeing Mr, Brown’s Flora of New-

Holland, in which work all thefe difficulties will doubtlefs be

cleared up and the genera definitively fettled, which could

hardly be done by any Botanift that has not had the opportunity

of ftudying the plants of that country in their native foil. It

is to this excellent Botanift that we owe the introdu€tion of

the prefent plant, being firft railed in Kew Garden, from feeds

gathered by him in New-Holland in 1802. Communicated

to us by Meffrs. Naprer and Cuanpver, Nurferymen, at

~ Vauxhall, in May 1806. _

Propagated by feeds, which unfortunately it does not appear

to produce freely in this climate. We fufpeé it to be an

annual, and as fuch, we were led to confider the GoopENIA

There are more original figures of this tree among the

older Botanifts, than ufually occur. For the moft part their

wooden

_ ‘wooden cuts are copied from one another, and not unfrequently,

to illuftrate the works of different authors, the fame blocks

were ufed indifcriminately, where the fame bookfellers were

employed, fo that it would often be a. very difficult tafk to

find out to whom the original drawings belonged. There are

no lefs than fix different wooden cuts of this tree, without

reckoning the one of Castor Durante, which is in fatt

copied from Loser, with the addition of the figure of Jupas

fufpended from one of the branches, thus announcing the

origin of its name of Arbor Judz, from the popular tradition,

that it was on this tree that the traitor fought to rid himfelf

of the remorfe his crimes had occafioned. Of thefe figures,

that of Doponzus, though far from being the beft, has been

the moft frequently copied.

In its wild ftate, Crusrus informs us that it is ufually feen

as a fhrub, but by cultivation readily aflumes the form of a

tree; and it may certainly be reckoned amongft the moflt orna-

mental, growing in a compa form, with elegant and uncom-

mon foliage, which is very little fubje& to be defaced by

infeéts. In the {pring its bright crimfon flowers, with which

the flems of the branches are fometimes almoft covered, are a

very pleafing obje&, and are faid, from their fweetifh acid

_tafte, to.make an agreeable addition to falads at that feafon.

The wood is hard, beautifully veined, and takes a high polifh. .

In fome fituations and in favourable feafons the flowers are

fucceeded by long flat pods of a reddifh colour. With us,

however, the flowers more ufually drop off, without being

fucceeded by any fruit; which Mriver attributes efpecially (0

the birds pecking them to pieces for the fake of the honey

they contain, es :

Contrary to what generally takes place in the papilionaceous

corolla, the ale are larger than the other petals and. ftand

Varies with white and pale flowers, but thefe varieties are —

far lefs defirable than the one here figured.

Native of the. South of France, Italy, Spain, ‘and Portugal.

Bloffoms with us early in May, in the open ground ; at which

time our drawing was made in the Botanic Garden at Bromp-

ton. Propagated by feeds, many of which will lie till the

fecond year in the ground before they germinate. Culti-

Erica ardens of Anprews be a variety of the fame. It is

one of the very extenfive colleétion belonging to Meffrs. Lez

and Kennepy, at Hammerfmith, where it is known by the

properly ufed as an adjeétive, and verniciflua has been already

applied by Mr. Satissury to another fpecies, we have thought

it neceffary to give a different fpecific name. For although

Ruus Vernix is ufed by Linnaeus, yet this is a mere tranfla-

_ tion of its vulgar name, the Varnifh-Tree; fo Ruus Sumach,

becaufe that fpecies had been before called Sumach ; but it is

Burs tunicate, fometimes two inches in diameter, quite

hardy, and producing a profufion of offsets ; leaves from a foot

to 4 foot and half high, from one to near two inches broad,

With a flender ‘finely ciliate-denticulate membranous margin,

inner ones narrower, convolute-concave ; /cape from three to

four feet high, cylindrical, upright; rachis partly ee /

ridged-angular from thé deetirrent draées, which are very

~ fmail, glandular, and generally placed at a little diftance below

their pedicles ; thefe are fometimes one hundred and thirty of

more in number, of a deep blue colour, 3—4 times the length

of the diameter of the corolla, fparfe, rather diftant, with here:

and there three or four approaching each other in the manner of

a whorl; corolla blue-violet; fcentlefs; of very fhort duration,

refembling that of aufumnalis (No. 919), as the general habit

of the inflorefcence does that of Muscaxr (Hyacintuus Lin)

comofum (No. 133); hence moft probably the appellation of

byacinthoides ; anihers deep purple, {mall, incumbent ; germer

abortive (according to Brorrro) even in the native plant.

The Bulb had moft probably acquired the name of eriophorus

among the older Botanifts, from the filky fibres, which fhew

themfelves like wool on fuch parts of their coats or bales of

the decayed leaves as are broken or torn; a charaéter not

peculiar to this fpecies. é

Native of Portugal, the Levant, and Madeira. The fpecies

has been remarked by the older Botanifts, for an extreme

fhynefs in producing its bloom, Cxvusrus, in the defcription

which accompanies his figure, announces it as, “ i/le dulbus”

cujus florem tanto tempore Belgica videre defideravit ;’ informing

us at the fame time, that during the long period he and _ his

friends had cultivated the Bulbs, but one had once flowered,

and that one imported immediately from Conftantinople.

Mixcer tried them in all fituations for thirty years, with ftill

lefs fuccefs; for they never once yielded to his perfeverance.

The Rev. Mr. Lotusury, to whom we are obliged for the

fpecimen, has had the plant at leaft twenty years in his garden,

near Bury; and we hear that this is the firft time of its flower

ing with him. Govan quotes Dopon aus, as recommending

the occafional removal of the offsets from the mother-bulb, 1”

order to fucceed in flowering it; but upon referring to the

author he has cited, we find no fuch obfervation, BroteR0s

who treats at length upon the native plant, does not notice

this chara€teriftic. A Bulb was brought from Madeira, by

Mr. Masson, in 1777, which bloomed at Kew, and has

afforded a fpecimen for the Bankfian Herbarium, G.

' M. Ventenar €onfiders this: ant asa diftin& genus, dif-

fering from Piaryiozsium of Smira, more efpecially in its

pod ‘wanting the wings at the back future, in the prefence of

glands at the bafe of the vexillum, and in the fornt of the |

calyx. The two latter charaéters are, however, not very

firiking, the glands or callofities at the bafe of the limb of the

vexillum are no more than is frequently found in other papi-

lionaceous flowers, and the calyx does not differ from that of —

PLaryrosium formofum, any more than one fpecies may be

expefted to differ from another. The carina, as is ufual, con-

fifts of two petals, which are adglutinated at the point only,

The remarkable length of this part, compared with the fhort

alx, gives a fingular afpeét to the corolla, and being of a

black-purple colour, whilft the reft of the petals is yellow,

- ‘ » ee makes.

makes the buds appear tipped with black. The alternaté

leaves, however, with their arti¢iilated petioles, and remarkable

ftipulation, confirm the idea ofa diftin@ genus. The-two ftipules,

which are very finall, conical,. hairy, and ere@, grow from thé

edge of a cuplike projeGtion, which receives the bafe of the

petiole, and from which 4 tapering line is continued down ‘the

fiem nearly to the infertion of the next leaf. Upon the whole,

there is a very near affinity between Bofliza and Platylobium,

and as, even in an artificial arrangement when the fyftem -will

admit of it, fuch plants fhould ftand together, WitLpENOW

ought not to have feparated them to fuch a diftance as he has.

VENTENAT gave this {pecies the name of heterophyllum,

becaufe he obferved the leaves to be elliptical at the lower

parts of the fhrub and lanceolate upwards: a diftinGlion we

have not remarked in the {pecimens we have examined. In

the PLaryLogium ova/um of the Botanifts Repofitory, which

certainly belongs to this genus and has been referred to it by

Mr. Drayanover, the leaves are all elliptical. Upon thefe

accounts we have rather adopted ANprews’s name of /anceo:

latum, to which we have been further impelled by a difficulty

we find in deciding abfolutely to which of thefe plants Vex-_

TENAT'S figure and defcription belongs. Perhaps the /axceo-

latum and ovatum of the Botanift’s Repofitesy are mere va-

tieties of the fame fpecies, in which cafe Vientenar’s name

% seg ar.)

may be retained for the fpecies.

_ We fufpeé that our Pratytosium microphyllum (No. 863)

-as well as P. /colopendrum, and fome other undefcribed

fpecies, belong to this genus. —

Native of New-Holland ; propagated, we belicve, by feeds”

only ; requires the prote@ion of a greenhoufe ; flowers almolt

all the year. Our drawing was taken at Mr, Hispert’s, at

Repofitory, by Meffrs, Lex and Kennepy. —

naked, the leaves as well as flowers being chiefly on the affur- *

gent extremities. The fcales of the buds, however, remaia a

Jong time, even after the leaves are fallen, forming akind of

ftipules. Leaves ovate, quite entire, with margins rolled back,

reticulately veined and roughith (rugofa vix feabra) onthe 9 _

upper furface, and covered with a fine pale ruft-coloured down

pnderoeath, on fhort a, aftringent but not bitter to —

tafle, and having a wéak fcent of fweet-briar whéit rubbed;

Flowers terminal, in an umbel-formed corymbus: peduitcles

downy, -but little longer than the 4ra4es, which are oblong-

ovate, concave, of a pale green colour, and continue as long -

as the flowers, enclofing the peduncles in an imbricated fheath.

Corolla large, funnel-fhaped, divided fearcely half-way down

into five rounded, emarginate lacinia; white within, except _

that the upper part of the faux is dotted with green {pecks,

hardly extending above the divifion of the corolla, and more

or lefs tinged with a bright rofe-colour on the outfide. Fila-

ments ufually ten, declined, hairy towards the‘ bottom, upper

ones rather fhorter. than the lower, inferted into the receptacle 3

anthers pale red, ovate, ere€t, openings at the upper extremity

very f{mall. Germen obtulely five-angled: /ly/e longer than

ftamens, bright red, /figia capitate, obfoletely lobed. Beneath

the germen is a thick flefhy pentagonal receptacle, the outer

margin of which forms the calyx. Flowers quite fcentlels.

There is fo great an affinity between this fpecies and Ruo-

DODENDRON Chry/uuthemum, that Patias feems to doubt if

they ought not to be confidered as mere varieties. It is a

native of the moft elevated parts of Mount Caucafus, on the

verge of the region of perpetual fnow; accompanied by no

other fhrub than Vaccrnum Myrtilius and Viris idea, al-

though the Juniper reaches nearly to the fame elevation.

We foilow the'claffick writers, Vire1L, Ovin; PRoPerTIuss

and Cravpian, in ufing the word cawca/eus, atnongft whom

caucaficus never occurs, though moft modern Botanifis have

adopted it, x ee ; ;

_. Our plant was communicated by Mr. Loppices, with whom

only it has as yet flowered, and that in the beginning of Auguft

laft; he informs us, that it is far lefs fhy than the Ruopo-

DENDRON Chryfanthemum, which, although it has been much

longer in his poffeffion, he has never been able to flower but

very imperfeéily. %

the water, covered with a vifcid tranfparent jelly, infoluble it _

water. The whole plant is coated more or lefs

this gelatinous fubftance, but more efpecially the young fhoot

and unfolded buds. It was from this quality, not eafily re-

prefented by art, that Soranper gave it the very apt name of

Ixopnra; but this never having been publifhed, was unknown

_to Micuaux, who has applied to it one borrowed from

the peltated’ leaves fo common to plants, inhabitants of

deep waters, We adopt the one which has been already given

to the public, though far lefs appropriate. Leaves peltate,

elliptical, quite entire, fmooth above, rugofe underneath from

the elevated veins which radiate from the centre in ftraightifh

lines, branching as they approach the circumference. Peduncles

-folitary, one-flowered, fhorter than the petiole, at the fide of |

which, neither in the axil nor oppofite, they are inferted.

Corolla dull purple, of fix lanceolate petals, the three exterior

of which are fhorter, more obtufe, and, more ereét, the three

interior,

ekly with

_ interior, alternately difpofed, are longer, more patent and

even recurved at the extremity, and of a deeper purple,

Stamens many, 15—30: filaments ereét, half the length of the

petals, inferted into the receptacle: anthers linear, ereét,

purplifh red, the length of the filament, and both together

equaling the petals. Germens feveral, 8—16, ereét, oblong,

ftyle the length of the germen, pointed. Receptacle flat, rofe-

coloured, with mammillary points, to which the feed-veffels are

attached. Follicles oblong-ovate, contained within the per-

fiflent corolla, one-celled, two-feeded, but one frequently

abortive, Seed oval, when unripe of a delicate rofe-colour

and fmooth, filled with a uniform flefhy albumen, the fhape of -

the feed, in which we could not deteét the embryo; but our

friend, Mr. Kinic, having fome time fince diffeéted ripe feeds

the feed, beneath an orbicular lid which, when highly magnified,

appeared fluted at the margin and exa€lly fitted the conformably

rifled orifice in the tefta of the feed. Having difcovered, this

part in fome other monocotyledonous feeds (as alfo in feveral

Guettardas, &c.) he diftinguifhes it from the papilla embryofega

of fome carpologifis, by the term of Embryopoma. The feed-

yeffels which he examined, all contained one feed only, thofe

of our fpecimen were two-feeded.

Whilft our draughtfman had the branch of this plant under

his care, floating in a bafon of water, he obferved that in the

evening the anthers connived over the ftigmas, the petals clofed,

and the peduncle was bent down, fo that the flower came to

the furface of the water; in the morning the peduncle became —

again ereét, the flower opened, the anthers diverged, and the

piftils were expofed to the air and light. After fun-fet the

fame fleeping flate, as on the preceding evening, returned,

and the flower again funk down to the furface of the water.

- From the fate of the capfules, we have no doubt but this

plant will readily ripen its feeds in the ciftern in an airy part

of the ftove or greenhoufe : perhaps, being found in. Upper-

Canada, it may not be injured by the feverity of our winters.

For the fpecimen of this very rare plant, we are indebted
