enveloped in a brown pappus arifing from the bafe of the

efcapes from the corolla, it appears club-fhaped, from the

The reft of the plant will be eafily underftood from the

Protea fcolymus by Wittpenow or Martyn, it is probable

that thefe authors had fome doubts about it,

lanceolate leaflets, the two lowermoft of which are two-lobed :

they are terminated with a minute foft mucro, edges quite

entire, but frequently minutely undulated, fo as to give the

appearance of their being ferrujate. Peduncles the length of

nearly cylindrical, contra€ted as far as the calyx: limb

{fpreading, faucer-fhaped, cut at the margin into five acuminate

points, {lrengthened by five pair of ribs prominent underneath,

at the point of the fegment of the corolla; the part between

thefe ribs is whitifh and fomewhat channelled. Thefe ribs, or

rather the flripes occafioned by them, are rudely reprefented,

in Vestino’s figure, and accurately defcribed by Forskax.

Filaments unequal, fubfagittate longer than ftyle, within the

This is moft probably the plant originally meant by Linn aus,

though perhaps afterwards confounded by Murray, in the

Syft. Vegetab. We have little doubt of its being the fame as

defcribed by Vestine and Forskatt, and faid by them to

be a very common ornamental plant in the gardens of Egypt,

but perhaps not indigenous there. —

The Betanic Garden at Brompton, where our drawing was

taken, is indebted for this beautiful plant to Mifs Garrstpg,

of Lancafhire, a lady eminently fkilled in delineating botanical

fubjects. see

It is eafily increafed by cuttings. Seems to love a tight

Joamy foil. In the ftove it flowered through the greateft part

of the Summer, but Mr. Sarispury thinks it will do till

better in the greenhoufe. Native country uncertain.

A fpecimen of a fimilar plant, apparently differing in nothing

but the greater length of the peduncle, is preferved in the

Bankfian Herbarium, brought by the late Sir Grorce

Found at the Cape not far from Picketberg and in fome

other places, though not frequently: it feems indeed to be

one of the rarer fpecies, nor have we ever feen it in any other

for varieties of this, in one the inner fegments feem to be

entirely obliterated; thefe, as alfo many others of this tribe

contained in his fplendid works, we have never feen in any

In No. 593, we have faid that Mora unguiculata differed

from ¢ricu/pis, in not having bearded ungues.; but upon lately ©

has three or four very fmall teeth at the end. In the Suppie-

‘tioned, and it appears, though rather obfcurely, in Game in’s

figure, but not in that of ‘Pattas,-although-very evident in

his fpecimen preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium. Radical

leaves are for the moft part longer and flenderer than in our

frequently face one way. The ftalks, at firft decumbent, rife

up, though flender and weak; branches oppofite, lower ones

Introduced into this country by Mr. Loppiczs, to whofe

Although this is certainly the vil/ofa of the Hortus Kew- |

enfis, yet, as three diftin& f{pecies were comprehended by

Tuunsere in his Fasricra villofa (adopted by the authors _

of that work as the fynonym of their plant) all which have

fince been feparately defcribed and figured under their proper

names by Jacquin in Plant. rar. Icon. we adopt his titles for

FuuUNnsexe’s fecond and third varieties, referving the original

one of villofa for the firft, as Jacquin has alfo done, but

without having been aware that his ob/iqua and. /obolifera had

been included by Tuunserc in it; this we do both with a

view to prevent any confufion from not conforming to names

made more generally known by fuch plates as Jacguin’s, as

alfo to avoid introducing a new {fpecific appellation unne-

ceffarily.

Root confifting of feveral bulb-bearing flefhy. rootftocks

- not annually reproduced, about the bignefs of walnuts, convex

above, growing together below, as they are produced, into

a thick, flattifh, folid, knobbed, irrégular mafs; from which

the herb fprings tuftwife. Leaves radical from fix to eight

inches long, half an inch broad at the bafe, broad-{fubulate,

channelled, carinate, fhaggily villous, receiving a greyifh ap-

pearance from the villi, which are thick, longifh, and foft ;

feapes feveral in fucceffion, ftri€t, flat, hirfute, about the

tength of the leaves, terminated by a 4—6 or more flowered,

bratteate, diftich, fubfaftigiate raceme of one-flowered pe-

duncles. Flowers bright-yellow, fcentlefs, upright. Petals lan-

ceolate, hairy outwards, and fubherbaceous, inner ones rather

narrower and lefs pubefcent. Filaments fubulate, concrete at

their bafes with the glandular tumid bafe of the ftyle_ that

covers the germen; anthers ovate-fagittate, upright, not fo

tong in proportion as in /errata and fellata, but coming nearer

to thofe of ereéa. Stigma ovate-oblong, three-lobedly-trigonal, | a

lobes decurrent, flightly prominent, channelled, with pubefcent

edges, about the length of the ftyle, which is round and

thickifh. Re . oes

Flowers during moft part of the Summer, of as eafy culturé—

as ferrata, which fee; propagated by dividing its rootftocks

with a knife, and need not be fhifted for feveral years, not

indeed till it has filled the veffel in which it may be; not

uncommon; we never faw it feed; introduced into Kew

We find no traces of this very rare plant in any book or

herbarium within our reach, but have no doubt that it flowered

lat Summer at Mr. Hisbexrt’s for the firft time in: Europe ;

it had been fent him from the Cape two years before by a

colle&or that he employed there, along with the largeft col-

le&tion of this natural-tribe, except perhaps that whichgwas

procured for the imperial garden at Schoenbrunn fome Mears

ago, of which fo many have been recorded in the coftly works

of Jacquin; and of which unfortunately fo many are ftill

flrangers to our gardens.

Mr. Hissert has lately detefted one of the fpecies of

Wirsenia in his garden, raifed from feeds, and moft pro-

bably the only one that ever vegetated this fide the Cape.

Till it flowers, which precife {pecies it may be, we cannot fay ;

we know of but four. It is an interefting genus, and feems

to us to bear the fame relation to the En/ate with regard to its

fhrubby or arborefcent charatter, that fome of the Palms do

Prof. WitupENow, who, as appears from the want of the

neither a living nor dried fpecimen of this plant, has yet moft

unwarrantably altered the {pecific charatter, probably from the

mere in{peétion of the figure in the Botanift’s Repofitory, taken

from a very imperfe& abortive fpecimen.

The older Botanifts confidered this plant as a Pulfatilla or

fpecies of Anemone, to which it appears to us to be much

more nearly allied than to Arracens alpina, No. 530 of this

work. But, as we have there ftated, the latter plant is not

neceffarily feparated from Clematis, the name of Atragene

may therefore very well remain to the Cape {pecies, of which.

there appears to be more than one.

_ Leaves

Leaves bifarious, linear-oblong, very obtufe, fomewhat chan-

nelled, rather flefhy. Scape ‘upright, ancipital, varicofely

nerved. Spathe’bivalved, membranous, encompafling a many-

flowered umbel, pedicles fhorter than the germens, feparated

by linear braétes, the innermoft ones of which become nearly

obfolete. Flowers dull white, exceeding fragrant; tube filiform-

trigonal, twice longer than the germen, but fhorter than the.

limb, which is fexpartite, ftellate ;.fegments divergent, linear-

oblong, rather acute, unguiculately narrowed downwards, ©

longitudinally emboffed, fides’ depreifed. Stamens campanu-

lately arranged, from triquetral elongately fubulate, converging

at their bafes and filling the orifice of the tube, conneéted

together downwards. by a.whitifh.turbinate: web or pellicle,

which. is, fix-laciniate, fegments alternating with the ftamens

and bifid; anthers linear-fagittate: flyle filiform, fomewhat

attenuate upwards, flightly curved, far flenderer than the

flamens: ftigma.obfoletely depreffed-trigonal, equal to the

limb. The fcent of the flowers, which expand in May, is not

unlike’ that of the Mufk. Hyacinth. «The leaves die down

before Winter. It often ripens-its feeds, which are black,

this ee have been ufually reckoned varieties of each other, —

ee, ee

at leaft by the more modefn Botanifts; but, as we think, with-

out reafon ; for the differences are feveral and material, the

proefs, ef the one having contributed in any way. to, the pro-

duéiion of the other, none. ———

Our plant has a fmaller bulb-tuber, flenderer leaves; the

larger or upper fegment of its corolla removed from between

and fufpended over its lateral ones, not enclofed by them as

in communis ; the upper lateral fegments are about equal to or

even narrower than the three lower ones, while in that they

are far broader; the three lower ones are equal among them-

felves, or the middle may be a little narrower, but in come

_ munis this is twice the broadeft; the anthers are alfo longer

than their filaments in this, which is not the cafe there; and

above all our fpecies may be diftinguifhed from the other by

its round, folid, fubbaccate feeds, having a thin lamina of

reddith pulp between their coats, but which is not quite {

thick as in Basrana, while in that they are dry, chally an

flat, edged with a broad membranous wing or border, formed

of the tunic, which is much larger than its fmall cartilaginous

nucleus, round which its vacant portion is preffed quite flat,

tiearly as in the Cape fpecies.

Whenever we have fpoken of Graptotvs communis, this

~ was the plant we had in view; but as the other has been already

publifhed, under that name, by Mr. Curtis, in this work, and

fince it is often impoffible to determine which is meant by

many Botanifts, we have thought fit to let the original name

remain with that, though our plant is doubtlefsly included by

Linn aus in his books as a variety ; or indeed may be the

one he intends in his defcription.

"A native of Dauphiny and moft probably of other parts of

South Europe. Desronraines found it in Algiers. It grows

among corn and in dry funny expofures on low hills. In our

collettions it is not now nearly fo common as the communis s

we found it in the Botanic Garden of Mr. Sattsszury, Bromp-

ton, where the drawing was taken; quite hardy, flowering about

May or June, and propagates abundantly both by feed and offsets.

We have no doubt but that there are other European fpecies,

that have merged as varieties of each other under one title, but

which we fhall endeavour to deteé& and diftinguifh in our

numbers. The Bankfian Herbarium contains a feeded {peci-

men, which feems to be our plant, brought from Madeira, by

Mr. Masson. According to ZaANNIcHELL: (who gives an

accurate defeription of the plant) our fpecies grows in the Ve-

netian territory, and varies much inthe number of flowers; it

is called Guiacerute by the inhabitants, G.

_ This very rare plant flowered in Mr. Wooprorp’s ftove at

Vauxhall, in November laft, filling the whole houfe in the even-

ing with its fragrance. It was imported from the Weft-Indies,

where it is indigenous in feveral of the iflands, growi1

mountains among the roots of trees, but not parafitical according

to Swartz. Jacquin fays that it occurs likewife on old

walls. Swartz places this genus in the natural order of

Conrorraz between Gardenia and Cerbera, but Jussteu fe-

parates thefe two, placing the former in the order of Rudiacee,

with which he joins this, the latter in that of Apocince, the

Contorte of Linnaxus. It may be confidered perhaps as

a connefting link between the two orders, approaching

nearer to Coutorte in the twifted fegments of the corolla

and the pappous feeds, and to Rubiacee in habit.

The name was given by Jacquin in honour of Sir Jonn

Hitt, author of feveral voluminous but ufclefs Botanical _

This {mall flowered variety blofloms as early as’ January.

Jacquin makes it a diftin& fpecies from the birfatus of our

No. 574; he had overlooked its pubefcence, which when

not fearched for, by holding the plant againft the light, is not

eafily perceived ; but is fo far material as it ferves to confirm

that clofe relation to the other varieties fo ftrongly marked

in all its other parts.

- Bulb-tuber round, compreffed, covered with fmooth fibro-

coriaceous, rind-like, brown integuments. Stem 1—2 fect

high, round, jointed, upright, apparently naked, but clofely

enveloped, for more than half its height, by fmooth, clofe-

fitting, fheath-like leaves, ending in remote, fhort, acute points,

the upper one being often extended for a fhort diftance beyond

the fheath; fterile bulbs produce from out a longifh, com-

preffed, coloured root-fheath a fingle, narrow, linear, acu-

minate, upright, ftiffith, pubefcent leaf, generally fomewhat

twifted and three-nerved. Both valves of the fpathes quite

entire, about equal with the faux. Limb of the corolla cy-

lindro-campanulate, fubringent, nodding ; fegments twice

Jonger than the tubular part; upper one broadeft, obovate-

lanceolate, concave, enclofed between’ its lateral ones ; thefe

narrower and more acute; lower ones narroweft, conniving

into a propendent nether lip; the middle fegment is over-

fpread by the fides of the other two, than which it is rather

wider, and from which it is not fo deeply divided as thefe from

the reft; the under fide of the faux is trijugofe or ftreaked

with three prominent ridges formed of the rachides of the

lower concrete portion of the fegments, Organs. of fruétifi-

cation fhorter than corolla. Anthers dark-coloured, 3—4

times longer than the filaments. —— =n

son to our own, for an unufual relu&ance to enliven the

gardens, on this fide the Alps and Pyrenees, with its gay

fragrant blofloms: or if by chance a fingle root has: been

found to reward fo far the affiduity of a cultivator, it has

been but for once, and then frefhly imported ; when, moft

probably, the flower-bud had been formed in the country from

which it was brought; this either rots immediately after the

effort, or waftes itfelf in the producing an offspring that —

here continues fterile. Thus much is afcertained as to the

Levant plant, and we fear, the fame will be found to be true

in regard to that from Madeira, whence our fpecimen was

brought by Captain Grey of the Navy. As yet no difference

has been deteéted between the individuals of this {fpecies from

thefe mutually remote regions ; though the whole habit is fo very

peculiar, that, did any really exift, it would not be difficult

to be difcovered. But we are the more inclined to believe

them perfeétly fimilar, fince we know, beyond a doubt, that

thefe countries do poffefs feveral other f{pecies of vegetables

incommon. _ ?

Bulb tunicate, white, about the fize of a walnut. Leaves

attenuately thong-fhaped, lax, convex outwards, about an inch

or more broad, fhining, minutely ciliate, more or lefs caudate,

in native fpecimens 1—2 feet in length. The beauty of the

flowers is fingularly increafed by the contraft of their large,

umbonate, black-green germen; whence RENEALME, who

found it growing {pontaneoufly in Egypt, near the town of

Alexandria, named the plant MeLanompuate. Outer feg-

ments generally bearing a corniform mucro that iffues from

beneath the teeth. Filaments upright, flightly patent, twice

fhorter than the corolla. Germen turbinate-{phzroid, flightly

_ Crusrus tells us that the bulbs were ufed to be brought

from Conftantinople to Vienna, and called by the Turks Zunbul

Arabi or Arabian bulbs. In Italy it was named the Alexan-

drian Lily or Facintho del Paternofter. | 3 aie

Lamarck met with the plant in great abundance on thé

fandy plains of Barbary, efpecially in the country of the

Zulmis, where it blooms in April. DesronTaINes fays, it

grows in the fields round Algiers. The Levant plant was cul-

tivated in this country by old Parxinson, who feems to havé

made it flower, at leaft once, though Mi.zrer never could.

A native of the South of Europe, and though marked in

the Kew catalogue as hardy, is not fufficiently fo to fland the

feverity of our Winters fecurely. It is better to confider it

as a greenhoufe plant, and fo treated it has a fhrubby ftalk,

and flowers early in the Summer, ‘The whole plant is downy

and the flowers have much the fame fombre hue as Hzsreris

iriftis, and when more nearly examined have the like beauti- —

A hardy biennial plant of no fhew, but worthy of cultiva-

tion for the fake of its agreeable fcent, which however it does

not give out in the day time.

Mivver fays, that the ladies in Germany have pots of it

placed in their apartments, from whence it obtained the ap-

pellation of Dame’s Vio.et; but this name feems not to

have been exclufively applied to this {pecies, perhaps more

ufually to the Hesperis matronalis.

Is propagated by feeds, of which it produces abundance in —

very long ftraight pods flightly twifted, Thefe growing at —

right angles with the ftem, give. the plant when in fruétifica-

tion a very fcrambling appearance. “Requires a dry foil and

a waam, fituatien; being. lefs hardy than tle Garden:Rocket,

and more ‘abject to rot in the Winter, on which account

Miter recommends that’ fome? plants fhould be kept under

a frame during this feafon, as the fure way to preferve them.

Flowers in May and June.

Cultivated by Mtucer in'1739; and’ perhaps’ more than a

century before, by Jonnson the editor of Gzrarv’s Herbal, ©

though the leaves of his figure of Leucoium melancholicum,

being jagged makes this doubtful.

The Noxana profrata is a native of Peru, a country to

which a large proportion of the tender annuals that ornament

_ our flower gardens at the clofe of Summer owe their origin.

The flowers are of a pale blue colour beautifully ftreaked

rom the centre with veins of dark purple, and when ex-

panded are very pleafing to the eye; but unfortunately this

is only while the fun fhines. a ee

There appears to have been fome difficulty in determining

the natural order to which this plant belongs; JusstEv con-

fiders it as neareft related to Ls ephanined (afperifolia of

Lainnays) to which order it is-alfo added in the poftiuaions

ee egiures

leftures of Linnaus, publifhed by Giszxz, but Gertner

feems to have fatisfa€torily decided it to belong more properly

to the /olanée or luride of Linnavs. In habit it approaches

to Convolvulus, and particularly to Convolvulus tricolor.

To have it flower early enough to ripen its feeds, it fhould

be fown in ‘March or April on a gentle hot-bed. with other

tender annuals, and may be planted in the open border by the

latter end of May, or if intended to be kept ina pot, MitieR

direéts that they fhould be planted fingly, when of a proper

fize, in a {mall pot filled with light earth and plunged into a

frefh hot-bed to bring them forward. Cultivated by Miter

in the year 1761. | 3

long and about half a one broad, bluntifh, thickifh, lax,

furrounding the fcape,. which is weak, fhorter, {mooth, cy-

rizoftal; pedicles very fhort; iffuing from hollows funk. in

the rachis; bra€tes minute, ftill’ fhorter, lacerate. Corolla

narrow, Ovate-urceolate, obfcurely three-cornered, fplitting at

the neck into a minute, rotate, fexpartite limb, and a yet

{maller prominent torn coronet terminating its very narrow

orifice, the firft the ‘continuation of the outer cuticle, the

fecond of the ‘inner, both quickly fading, while the more fub-

ffantial part of the flower remains for fome time unchanged.

Stamens twice fhorter than the corolla, almoft entirely adnate,

_ alternate ones longer, anthers. fmall, dark-coloured with yellow

ollen. Germen ovate, acutely trigonal ; ftyle fhort; ftigma

obfcurely trifid; capitate-trigonal.. The flowers are larger than

thofe of the other fpecies, of little beauty, but amply: re-

compenfing the want of it by their extreme fragrance; from

which circumftance the Turks have given it the appellation

of Muscart, the fcent refembling that of certain paftilles

they ufe to perfume their chambers, which are known by the

fame name: it was brought from the gardens in the vicinity

of Conftantinople, according to Crusius, about 1554. Dr.

Paraick Russevx found it growing wild near Aleppo, till

when its precife habitat was not fatisfattorily afcertained. The,

Kralians call it Mu/chio greco, “There is a. yellow fort, called

Tibcadi Mufcari by the Dutch Florifts, fuppofed to be a mere

variety, the fragrance of which is ftill more exguifite, and we

are told that fine roots of it fell for a guinea a piece in Hol-

Jand. We never faw it. Our variety was cultivated. by Ge-

RARDE, In 1697. . It is a hardy plant, thrives in a fouthera

afpett, propagating abundantly both by feed and offsets. G.

itigitiics

A native of saat and of fome of the Weft-Indian Ges

where it grows to a tree ten feet high, having a crooked ftem,

and bearing, as is faid, fome refemblance to our apple-tree.

In the ftove it forms a handfome ever-green fhrub and pro-

duces its flower in clufters at or near the extremities of the

branches, and not, as reprefented in the miferable figure of

Piso, in the ale of the leaves. This figure is however moft

probably entirely imaginary and made from the defcription

only. The wood when cut is faid to have a very offenfive

fmell, and every part of the tree nds with a milky juice

fuppofed to be highly deleterious. The hard fhells of the

nuts

nuts are ufed by the Indians for the fame purpofe as morris-

bells were formerly, and in fome few places ftill are, applied

in this country ; a number of them, being ftrung together and

faftened on a kind of bracelet, are thus tied round their arms

and legs, both for the fake of ornament and of found in dancing.

Calyx divided half-way in five fegments acute and refle&ed.

Tube of corolla nearly ftraight, dilated at the upper part but

clofed at the mouth, where it is marked with five deep fur-

rows: Limb divided into five oval fegments, oblique or twifted,

with undulated margins. Anthers five, on very fhort filaments,

enclofed in the upper inflated part of the tube. Style the

Jength of the tube: Stigma bifid, top-fhaped, furrounded at

the bafe by a circle of greenifh glands, whence apparently

diftils a honev, with which, inthe {pecimen we examined, the

whole tube was filled; it was colourlefs, very fweet and per-

feéily free from any naufeous or acrid tafte, notwithftanding

the poifonous quality of the other juices of the plant.

Cexsera Thevetia and our tree appear to be congeners ;

but Garner obferves that Cersexa Manghas will by no

means unite in the fame genus. ee

In natural order, Jussieu agrees with Linn 2us in affign-

ing it a flation with the apocinee (contorte, Lin.) but thus fe-

parates it in his fyftem from Garpenia and Hitzrra; with

which, particularly the latter, it feems to us to have cons

fiderable affinity in the flower and habit, though not in the

fruit. Propagated by cuttings or from imported feeds, as

it never produces any with ‘us. Cultivated by Miter in

1739: Our drawing was taken at Mr. Wooprogn’s in May

The Bankfia, a genus fo named in honour of its firft dif-

coverer, the Prefident of the Royal Society, in a voyage

round the world with Captain Cook, is very nearly allied to —

Protea, and like that appears to contain a great number of

f{pecies of very various forms and fize. Our prefent plant —

forms a handfome fhrub, thrives freely, and has flowered in ©

feveral colle&ions; our drawing was taken from that’ of

- E. J. A. Wooprorp, Efgq. at Vauxhall, in April 1802.

The beauty of the flower confifts very much in the length

of the ftyle; which, from the ftigma being long retained

within the anthers, is fancifully bent into a Joop: when the

efflorefcence is complete, the petals expand and fet the ftigma

at liberty. The flower is confidered by fome as monopetalous,

but the petals, in Banxsra ericefolia at lealt, adhere fo flightly

at the bafe only, that they can hardly be kept from feparating

when removed from the receptacle. The germen in this {pe-

cies is f{urrounded with brown hairs very like that of many of

the Protez. We could not difcover any other calyx than

the {quama of the Amentum, in no refpeét like that defcribed

by Garrner. A native of New-Holland. By no means

tender, and may be kept in a greenhoufe with Proteas and |

other Cape fhrubs, Propagated by feeds and by cuttings.

A native of Chili; of the greater value as, contrary toits

has been accurately deferibed by Cavanities from the ©

This author does not notice that the leaves are full of pellucid

points, giving them an appearance as if perforated when held

up tothe light; but this circumftance is common to fome other

{pecies of Tagetes. He defcribes the pappus as confifting of

ufually five unequal arifte, but there are in faé but two, which

are equal, fomewhat divaricate upwards, about one-third the

length of the feed, minutely jagged on the outfide; €xcept

thefe, we could obferve only the mere remains of the tube of ©

the floret, The number of the arifte muft be therefore lefs

limited in the generic charafter or this mutt be feparated from

the genus. a

The root is perennial and may be increafed by parting, or

frefh plants may be raifed from feeds, which it produces

freely. Is fufficiently hardy to refift moderate froft, but if

Our drawing of this lively annual was taken at Mr. Cor-

viLie’s, King’s-Road, Chelfea, in September Jaft, but was firft

raifed in the garden of Grorce Hiszerts, Efg. at Clapham,

in 1801, from feeds fent by his Colle€&tor from the Cape of

Good Hope. It is an annual of eafy culture if it ripen its

feeds, which it will not do in this country unlefs raifed on a

gentle hot bed in the Spring and planted out about the latter

end of May. |

" In feveral of the Lobelias it is not eafy to determine whether

the capfule be fuperior or inferior; in fome the calyx adheres

only to the lower part of the capfule, leaving fo large a portion

free, that it may be confidered as much a capfula /upera as

infera. This is remarkably the cafe in this fpecies.

We have fome fufpicion that our plant may be the Lobelia

patula of Tuunsere, but from his very imperfeé& defcription

alone, it is impoffible to afcertain this. It agrees with his

obfervation of feldom having flowers and leaves at the fame

time, but as he fays “ caulibus patulo diffufis,” his plant would

not feem to be an annual with only one ftalk, therefore we

have not dared to adopt the name of patula, |

common, even in our more general colleftions. —

There is one diftinguifhing mark of this fpecies that we

have not feen noticed by any author, the great roughnefs of

the leaflets, efpecially on the under fide, arifing from very

minute fpines clofely adpreffed to the leaf, hardly vifible to

the naked eye, but readily deteéted by pafling the leaf along

the lips or other tender part of the fkin. In other. refpeéts

this fhrub is fo well defcribed by Linnaeus in the Species —

acct:

Plantarum, as to make any repetition unneceffary. The variety

figured by Jacguin, if accurately coloured, has the advantage

of being more fhewy than ours, the wings of the corolla being

of a bright red and the other parts of a delicate lilac. The

ftipule in his figure are black ; this we have fometimes feen,

but more ufually with us they are of the fame green with the

reft of the plant.

Flowers in July, but by artificial heat, which it bears well,

may be made to bloffom much earlier. In fome colle@ions

where this plant has long been preferved, its flower-buds

which appear annually late in the year, decay without ever

expanding. May be propagated by cuttings.

Our drawing was taken at the Botanic Garden, Brompton,

in February 1809. .

Notwithftanding all the pains that Von Wo LFEN, in

guin’s Collefanea, has taken to eftablifh a diftin@ion between

his Anprosace villofa and Chamejafme, we confefs ourfelves

ftill to have been at a lofs to decide to which of thefe {pecies our

plant belongs, nor can we perfuade ourfelves that the reverend

author has fatisfaftorily eftablifhed a {pecific diftintion between

them. If really different, we fhould be inclined to confider our

plant as the one intended by Linn aus, Scopont, and Jacquin

in his Flora Auftriaca, under this title, and that figured in

Jacguin’s Colle&tanea, as a new fpecies not noticed by any

- preceding author.

The hairinefs of the leaves in the cultivated plant, at leaft,

is not at all to be depended upon; in one we faw laft year at

Mr. Lopnreegs, the leaves were fo thickly covered with long

white hairs, as to give the whole a hoary appearance; in the

fame

fame this year the leaves are of a deep green colour, with

comparatively few hairs; nor are they in all fpecimens equally

obtufe at the point; thofe: in. the one from whick our drawing

was taken being much more acute than in Mr. Loppices’s

plants, though undoubtedly the fame {pecies.. Hatter fays

it has both obtufe and lanceolate leaves; indeed the whole of

his excellent defcription leaves no room to doubt of the identity

of his plant with ours. :

The fcape is red, very ereét, as in the figure in Jacguin’s

Flora Auftriaca, and the umbel, ‘asin that, is furrounded with

an involucre of 5—7 leaflets, fimilar to the leaves but fome-

what narrower. Pedicles about the length of the involucre.

Calyx rather ovate-campanulate than turbinate and deeply

divided into» five: conniving: fegments. Corolla white, but

marked at the centre with a bright red.or yellow eye:: tube)

perfeétly ovate, yellowifh, clofely embraced by the calyx:

limb 5-cleft, fegments roundifh, quite entire, or fometimes

-flightly emarginate: faux a circular opening, through which

the five yellow anthers. are difcernible, the glands and’ plica,

defcribed by Hauver and other authors, being very minute

ard not. clofing this part: Filaments attached to the lower

part of the tube. Germen orbicular, depreffed at top:

ftyle fhort, ereét: ftigma capitate. Scentlefs.. Tafte’ of the

leaves flightly and not unpleafantly acid. Some of the above

charafters: correfpond with Von Wuvren’s ANDROSACE

villofa, others with his Chameja/me ; but the former may per-

haps, as before obferved,. be a new fpecies diftinguified’ more’

efpecially by the glaucous colour of the leaves: and? the in-

volucre confifting of only two or three leaflets.

Our drawing was made at the Botanic Garden, Brompton.

called it media, farmentofa being abfurdly erroneous and repens

very rare Cape liliaceous plants. ‘The ftem is higher than

the leaves, and fometimes attains three feet, but more com-

monly does not exceed one and a half. The flowers are

produced early in the Winter; have no {cent. 3

It has ftood in the open ground with us during the three

laft Winters; but we have always cut off the flowering ftem

and placed it in water within doors; the other parts of thé

plant have endured the weather without prote@tion, and

grown vigoroully the following Summer.

It is more ufually treated as a hardy green-houfe plant,

and kept in deep pots of light earth, Propagates very faft by

America in which he found it; from others we learn that it is

a native of Penfylvania and Virginia. It was brought to Kew-

Gardens by Mr. Young, in 1765.

Our drawing was made at Mr. Loppics’s Nurfery, at

Hackney, where it was received from America near twenty

years ago, during which period the poffeffor has only feen it

flower three or four times, and always about the month of June; .

nor do we find that others have been more fortunate. This

may in fome meafure account for its never having been figured

in any work that we are acquainted with. It is faid to require

a mixture of bog-earth and loam, as well as to be placed in

_a northern afpeé; but we have feen it generally treated as an

alpine plant, and kept in a frame. :

Its uniting fo ftrong a refemblance to AspHope us /uieus

in habit, with fo great a difference in charafter, is very re-

markable in this order of plants. We have not followed M1-

cHAUX in confidering it a diftin@ genus from Hxrtonias;

he himfelf has offered no difference of charafer, nor do we

think fuch a feparation requifite. G,

A native of Portugal; found alfo in the fields of the Alge-

rine and Tunifian territories by DesFoNTAINES. LINNa&US

muft have been induced to give the {pecific title of peruviana,

on the authority of Ciustus, who received it with the notice

of its coming from Peru out of the garden of Everarp

Municnoven, a botanical dilettante of that day, but who

certainly was miftaken in fuppofing it to have been brought

from the above country, and has led both his friend, and through

him Linnzus, into error.

It is perfe&tly hardy, propagates freely by offsets, and was

formerly much more common in our gardens than at prefent.

We have feen a white variety of it. Our drawing was taken at

the Botanic Garden, Brompton. G.

This —

This fpecies differs from undulata (No. 144) of this work,

in having a f{maller corolla, in being variegately green, in

having the ungues and fligmas cyathiformly not’campanulately

arranged, and the former the length of the taming, inftead of

being three times fhorter; the anthers are~alfo much larger,

divaricating from their bafe, are accumbent to the ftigma and

upright, with yellow pollens; while in that their loculaments

are parallel, cernuous, retiring from the ftigmas, and filled with

deep orange pollen; the ftigmas of antherofa are moreover

toothedly widened towards their bafe, which is not the cafe in

undulata; but a {till more prominent difference of the former

is the beaked elongation of the germen and capfule, of which

there is no trace in the latter. Its fcent is faint, not unlike

that of frefh olives, _

Saissupry’s Botanic-Garden at Brompton, from Cape feeds.

about eight weeks, but produced no bloffoms.

natural affinity is not very apparent ; in the form_of the ne€tary,

ACHYRANTHES Comes near It,

This very rare and curious plant appears to have been un-

known to every European Botanift fince Linn 2us, who had

himfelf but a very imperfe& knowledge from dried fpecimens,

and the little which he could acquire from the obfervations —

of Mrrcxex and Gronovius, until it was dete&ted and more

fully and accurately defcribed by Mrcuaux, who gave it the

name of Er¥ruroruiza, from the colour of the root, which

he fays is of a deep red, much like that of Madder.

To the indefatigable Mr. Fraser, of Sloane-Square, Chel-

fea, we are indebted for its introdu@iom into this country.

He informs us that he firft difcovered it at thé foot of the

mountains at the back part of the State of Georgia, in the

year 1786. Not finding that any Botanift here was at all ac-

quainted with the plant, he felt himfelf at liberty to name it

after the Marquis of BLanprorp; we are forry, by reftoring

the original Linnean appellation, to deprive this nobleman of

this well-merited honour. Micuaux found it on the high

mountains of Carolina, flowering in May... This author

- refers it to Monadelphia, but as it has not..the fmalleft

affinity with any other plants of this clafs, we rather choofe to,

leave it where Linnaus had arranged it, although what, we

call the tubular ne@ary, to which the ftamens are attached,

may, perhaps, without impropriety, be confidered as formed

by the junétion of the filaments. It is probably a hardy her-

baceous plant, though whilft fo fearce it may be fafeft to thelter

it through the Winter in the Green-Houfe, by which means —

too the old leaves being longer preferved, continue after the

plant is in flower, and add much to its beauty. Is eafily pros

ee by means of its creeping root. Should be plantedin

g-earth witha mixture of fandy loam. = i st o

Of the genus Dantra* there are three fpecies defcribed

with neither of which our plant exaétly correfponds, but we

lanceolate, ere&t, and furround the outer circle of the florets

of the difc, but being fomewhat fhorter than thefe are not

contra&ted below, giving it the appearance of being raifed

upon a pedicle. The florets in the centre appear.to be all

radius neuter; fo that our {pecies at leaft more properly belongs

to the order of Porycamta neteffaria and feems to unite ftill

clofer with Porymnta, to which genus M. Cavanicues has

Is a native of South-America, and may be confidered as a

in the Supplementum Plantarum by the younger Linnaus.

This change has been adopted by Martyn inhisedition of Mit-

we have no doubt but our plant is the fame with that figured by

Breynivs, which probably is the one that Linn aus had parti- —

cularly in view when he framed his {pecific chara@terofOrHONNA

bulbofa ; in this figure one of the younger leaves is evidently

pinnated. The leaves in our {pecies are glaucous, obovate, very

obtufe, fome quite entire, others pinnatifid; the calyx is cylindri-

cal, eight-toothed ; teeth acute, black at the point ; the feeds are _

crowned with a feflile hairy pappus. Before the flowering-ftem

fhoots forth, this plant has very much the appearance of atuberous-

rooted Geranium. It has a very particular manner of fleeping,

the petals being neatly rolled back every evening from the apex

to the bafe, remain in this ftate till morning, when they again

expand. We were favoured with this very rare plant by

Meffrs. Narier and Cuanncer, Nu rferymen, in Wandfworth-

This plant has been known in the few collefions that poffefs

it by the name of Paterfonia ; it appears to correfpond with

the chara€ter of Lacuna, but agrees fo little in habit with

the other known fpecies of this genus, that perhaps it may here-

after be confidered as a diftin@ genus. On this account, and not

merely from the right of priority, we prefer retaining the tri-

vial name we had previoufly fixed ene to adopting that of

Monf. VenTENAT.

The Lacunza Paterfonia is a native of Norfolk-Ifland,

from whence the feeds were brought to England by Colonel

PATERSON,

Our drawing was taken at Meffrs. Wuittey and Brame’s,

Old-Brompton, in June 1801, when it flowered perhaps for

the firft time in Europe. Requires to be kept in the ftove,

at leaft in the Winter, but fhould be allowed a free accefs

This is a very low fhrub, but in the fize of its flowers hardly

yields to any. Few if any of the Proteas are remarkable for

brilliancy of colouring, the beauty of the flowers arifing more

than from colour. PP Me

We have feldom fo far deviated from our ufual plan as to

give double plates, but for the fake of fuch a reprefentation of

fo magnificent a flower as the prefent we run no rifk of in-

curring blame. We have only to regret that the very low

price of the work will not admit of our giving the ufual number

of figures. The expence and trouble of this number are fully

equal to thofe which contain eight ; and, were the labour of our

artifts adequately rewarded, would be confiderably greater.

flowered laft Spring in the colleétion of E. J. A. Wooprorp,

at Mr. Barr’s, Ball's-Pond, Iflington, which though of fmaller

fize promifes a greater intenfity of colour, which is probably

owing to the time of year admitting of a more free expolure

to air, a circumftance generally known to heighten the colour

of flowers. Requires the proteétion of a greenhoufe and the

fame culture as the reft of the genus. 2

‘The leaves of this very diflin& fpecies have not the caudate

in being acutely carinate-channelled with ferrulate margins.

Root AB ber. Stem three feet high, round, upright, and

very mu ched, with fomething of a tree-like appearance,

is as thick as the little finger at the bafe, and produces a pro-

fufion of bloom in fucceffion, having however feldom more than

two or three flowers open at one time; the fmell of thefe refembles

that of the Day-Lily (Hzmeroca.uis flava); they are large,

es, germen, and capfule, are very {mall in pro-

ch probably led Tounserc, who ever defcribes

cimens, to think that the flowers were fo like-

en they are rolled up together with the germen

they are not bigger than a pea; ftyle two or three times fhorter

than the ungues, inner lip of the ftigmas equal to the {maller

lamin, upright, with acuminate fegments, which are fome-

at remote ; inner lip fmall, bidentately notched, with re-

cu teeth.—This is certainly one of the moft defirable of the

genus, continuing to bloom for near a month. Never figured

in any work known to us, and moft probably was introduced

from the Cape for the firft time by Mr. Wooprorp, at whofe ~

garden our drawing was taken the latter-end of laft May.

multiplies greatly by offsets, by which it {preads fo much as to

require frequent reducing. Its flowering ftems, covered with

three-cornered ftriated leaves fancifully curling round it, rife

to the height of two or three feet, terminated with a fpike of

flowers, a foot or more in length. Corolla nearly fix-petaled,

the ungues only being united together: petals yellow with a

green {tripe, fomewhat irregular, four of them growing croffwile

and two inferted between ate three uppermoft, thus leaving the

M. VenTeENaT, a celebrated French Botanift, has very —

properly feparated the fpecies of Cape Adonis from the others,

forming them into a diftin& genus; but as this was done before,

by R. A. Satissury, Efg. in the Prodromus of Plants grow-

ing in his garden at Chapel Allerton, publifhed in 1796, we

retain the name of KNowLTonia, given by him, in comme-

moration of Mr. Know.tTon, an ingenious and fuccefsful

. ; : — cultivator, |

cultivator, a contemporary of Mr. Puirirp Miiver, who for-

merly had the management of Dr. Suerarp’s celebrated

garden at Eltham; both as having the right of priority and

being preferable to ANaMeNrIA, a word formed from the

Arabic Anabaman, fignifying an Adonis or Anemony.

Mr. Satispury doubts whether this be really a diftin&

fpecies from capenfis, from which it feems to differ chiefly in

bearing an umbel of much fewer flowers and in the narrow-

nefs of the petals. M. Ventenat has given an excellent

figure of the latter, under the name of ANaMENIA cortacea.

As all the fpecies are from the Cape, capen/is is undoubtedly an

improper name, but we think ought neverthelefs to be retained,

for we confider it as a rule, rarely to be deviated from, that

where it may become neceffary to change the genus, the {pecific

name before in ufe fhould ftill be preferved.

All the fpecies of this genus are very acrid plants, and this

is faid to be ufed by the inhabitants of the Cape, in the room

of Cantharides, to blifter the fkin. Is a hardy greenhoufe

plant, requiring the fame treatment as ATRAGENE capen/is.

Cultivated in the royal garden at Hampton-Court, in i691, as

we are told both by Morison and PLuxenert. 3

Our drawing was taken at Mefirs. Gaimwoop and WykeEs,

XERANTHEMUM Variegaium appears to be very fubje& to

vary in the fize and colour of its flowers, being fometimes

nearly white, but the coloured tips of the fcales of the calyx —

feem to be conftant in all. This colour is always ferrugineous

but fometimes mixed more or lefs with purple or red ; the mar-

gins and tips of the leaves likewife partake of the fame colour.

Of all the varieties that we have feen, the one here figured

is by far the moft fplendid: it flowered in May laft at Mr.

Sa.issury’s, atthe Botanic Garden, Brompton; the difc of the

flower, at a particular period of its blooming, fhewing three —

_ diftin& circles of different and highly contrafted colours; the

outer circle, confifting of the fully expanded florets which thew

their yellow infides, is of a golden hue; the next, compofed of

florets

florets not yet opened and fhewingtheir dark outfides, isof a black

purple, whilft the centre “is white from the young florets re-

maining as yet hidden-below, the pappus.., The fialk is: fome-

what twifted, which gives the leaves a fpiral turn around it;

this is more efpieciallyy: obfervable’ before the'plant comes into

flower; and we fufpeé that renee emt Latte is a mere

variety of this.fpecies.. ....

Is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, cat he fhelter of

the greenhoufe is neceflary to preferve it from froft; but

with moft of its congeners it requires an airy fituation, or is

in danger of being deftroyed by damps. ee

It is from that inexhauftible fource of curious plants, Mr.

Wooprorp’s garden at Vauxhall, that we are enabled to give —

a figure of this very rare fpecies of Epipenprum, faid to

be the largeft of the whole genus, growing fometimes, accord-

ing to Sir Hans Stoanr, to the length of fix feet, and pro-

ducing a multitude of flowers, which Brown, in his Hifto

of Jamaica, not unaptly compares to patches of Dutch chintz.

The colours are doubtlefs much more vivid when growing in

the open air, than when confined in the ftove, where all thefe

plants muft neceffarily be in this northern climate.

: ; It

It is doubtful whether Jacgutn’sErtpenpruM carthagenenfe

belong to this fpecies or not, otherwife his name would have

been retained.

We have no doubt but that the fynonym of Stoanz is pro-

perly placed here, as is done by Swarrz, though applied

by Jacquin to his a/tiffimum, which refembles in many refpeéts

our plant, but is fufficiently diftin@, as we are fatisfied from a

careful comparifon of our drawing with Jacguin’s original

{pecimen in the Bankfian Herbarium. .

It flowered in May laft, as we fuppofe, for the firft time in

this country, throwing up a branched {cape about two feet

in length. Isa native of the Weft-Indies, and muft be kept —

conftantly in the ftove.

Pyrora umbellata, although widely diffufed through the

northern parts of Europe, Afia, and America, is not a

native of Great-Britain. Mrcuaux remarks, that this fpecies,

with maculata, may perhaps conftitute a new genus differing

from the others in habit, in having a feffile undivided ftigma

and fhort beaked anthers with a fubbivalve foramen. Ret-

_ ztus long ago obferved the diverfity of the ftigma, which is

different in almoft every fpecies, and the anthers of all we

believe have two openings at the bafe as in this: thefe open-

ings however, though at the bafe of the anther when the flower

firft begins to expand, become afterwards the upper part, the -

pofition of the anther being reverfed by the filament becoming

incurved, .

This fpecies is the moft beautiful of all the. genus; flowers

in June, and continues a long time in bloom. Requires to be

kept in bog-earth, to be frequently watered, fheltered

from the mid-day fun.

Our drawing was taken from a fine plant fent us by Mr.

Loppices, of Hackney, who raifed it from feeds from North-

America. In its native fituations in Europe it rarely produces

fo many as five flowers in an umbel. Firft introduced to the

- Kew Garden by Mr. Joun Bartram, in 1762.

The fingular ralbate both of she flower and the leaves of

this plant bas long made it an obje& of curiofity, but the dif-

ficulty of = sah continues to tender i it fill a es in he ee 3

country, though a common inhabitant of the [wamps in North-

America from Carolina to Florida. The fingularity of the

flower confifts principally in the ftigma, which is fpread over

the parts of fru€tification like an umbrella. Between the angles

of this umbrella the flaccid petals hang down fomewhat in the

manner as a woman’s leg hangs over the pummel of the fide-

faddle, which we fuppofe was the origin of the name given it

by the firft Englifh fettlers.

The leaves being hollow tubes capable of holding water,

Linnaus ingenioufly confidered this curious conformation

as a metamorphofis of the leaves of a Nympheza into a

form fit for receiving and retaining rain water. And we are

told that “ the hollow parts of the leaves have always water

** ftanding in them, and the top or ear is fuppofed, in hot dry

- weather, to fhrink, and fall over the mouth of the tube, and_

** ferve as a lid to prevent the exhalation of the water. In

“ great droughts birds and other animals repair to thefe

“plants.” There would be more probability in this hy-

Sages if thefe plants were found growing in dry places,

but they will not live except in wet fituations, where the roots

can readily find water without the aid of thefe fuppofed re-

_ fervoirs. In the cultivated plant we rarely find any water in

the leaves; nor does it appear that the appendix at the end in

this {pecies ever clofes upon the opening, fo that the real pur-

‘pole of this curious conftruétion is probably not yet difcovered.

In fome of the {pecies a great number of infeéts find a prifon,

what purpofe the death of thefe can ferve inthe economy of this

plant, or in any other of the fly-traps, is as yet totally unknown.

MILLeER-recommends the pots to be kept conftantly in

_ water, and only prote&ed from froft by a glafs-frame in the

winter; but we more ufually fee them kept in an airy part

of the ftove. Ina manufcript journal of the late Mr. Tuomas

Cortinson, he remarks having feen the Sarracenia (but

whether the yellow or purple is not noted) flowering in the

open air in the greateft perfe€tion he ever faw, in the wet rock-

work at the Duke of Arnox’s at Dunkeld. 2

The figure in Carzssy’s Natural Hiftory of Carolina differs

fo materially from our plant, efpecially in the fhape of the ap-

pendage of the leaves, as to lead to a fufpicion that it belongs to

a different {pecies. 7 _ wise

not uncommon, and if planted in a warm fheltered fituation,

and trained up a wall, paling, or lattice, is avery defirable plant

both for its foliage and flowers, which latter are produced in

June and continue in fucceffion till the autumn.

It has not however. the pleafing fcent of the other Honey-

fuckles, from which it differs in having nearly a regular

corolla, except that one of the fegments is a little feparated

from the reft by being more bent back.

Propagated by laying down the young branches, which readily

take root. Cultivated by Mr, Joun Tranpescanr, Jan,

Descr. Root annual. Stalk hairy, branched. Leaves

ovate-lanceolate, toothed, waved, hairy on both fides, oppo-

fite on the lower parts, but without order upwards. Peduncles

often a foot long, hairy: hairs moftly pointing downwards, one- .

bafe, border five-cleft: fegments linear-lanceolate, quite entire,

{preading, without reflexed finufes. Corolla nodding, one-

petaled, funnel-fhaped, tube very fhort, hairy within; limb

-five-cleft, fegments ovate, acute, whitifh on the outfide, lively ~

blue within: finufes circular, fo that when viewed in front

the flower appears to have five round openings at the margin

of the tube. Neéary five roundifh membranous ciliated f{cales,

to the points of which the filaments are attached. Stamens five,

of very fhort duration, filaments thread-like, anthers linear,

pollen verdigrife-green. Ovary five-celled; ftyle ere&, |

ftigma five-cleft: fegments petal-like, ovate, patent, deep blue,

- hifpid underneath. Cap/ule ereét, hifpid, obfoletely ten-angled,

inferior, crowned with the perfiftent fegments of the calyx,

above which the capfule rifes in a conical form confifting of

five lanceolate valves, which feparate, when the feed is ripe,

down to the calyx. ‘Thus the feed is difcharged at the apex

of the capfule, and not, as ufual in the genus Campanula, by

lateral pores. Seeds, flat, fhining, many.

The different conftru€tion of the organs of fru€tification —

in this plant, perhaps may be thought fufficient to feparate

it from the genus Campanu ta; but as there can be no doubt ~

of its being the fame as. that figured by Comme in, and re-

ferred to by Linnzus, we leave it as we foundit. — |

It frequently happens that the ftamens in this genus are of

very tranfient duration ; this is fo remarkably the cafe in this

fpecies, that if not examined before or immediately after the

ypening of the flower, they will not be found’; and the under —

‘may very eafily be taken for five anthers attached to the ftigma. 4

And. we were a€tually deceived -by this appearance, in the

firft fpecimen we examined, which had bat one flower, in |

which there was no other fign of filament or anther. The |

flowers vary confiderably in fize, and under fome circumftances __

are never expanded, but ripe feed will neverthelefs be pro- —

duced. | Fee & tae

This is certainly not a plant of much beauty, but will re-

commend itfelf to the Botanift by the very fingular conftruc-

tion of its flowers. It is truly, as the name imports, a lover

of water, and will not thrive at all unlefs the pot containing

it is plunged deep in water; but fo treated and kept in an airy

part of the ftove, it grew to a very great fize and produced

plenty of ripe feeds, at Mr. Woonrorpn’s at Vauxhall, where

our drawing was taken in June laft. -

It is a native of New-Holland, of China, and Cochinchina, -

and from the latter place fpecimens were fent into Europe by

Loureiro in the year 1774. 7 ;
