Descr. Stem shrubby, erect, branched. Leaves imbri- cate, lanceolate, hollowed especially towards the base, connate, sheathing, edged with minute cartilaginous cilia, Flowers in umbels at the extremities of the branches. Calycine leaflets subulate, one third shorter than the tube of the corolla. Corolla hypocrateriform, with a long tube, formed by the adherent, but separable claws of the petals : limb shorter by half than the tube, five cleft: segments somewhat recurved, bright red on the outside, and white within, except a red margin, which gradually extends nearly over the whole. The flowers are sweet-scented in the evening.
This species, on account of the tubular corolla, belongs to De Canpoxte’s genus Larocuea adopted by eager
an
and Haworrs, also by Scuutres in the new edition of the Systema Vegetabilium. But as this tube is made simply by the adhesion of the claws of the petals, which are more or less separable in all, and in Crassuna jasminea (supra 2178) with quite as longa tube, are not at all connected, except at the upper part, this circumstance seems hardl sufficient to found a genus upon. Jussieu refers all the tubular species of Crassuta to CoLyLepon. 3 CrassuLa versicolor is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, whence it was introduced by Mr. Burcuett on his return from his travels in that country, and is indeed a very valuable acquisition to our gardens, as it flowers freely, and requires only to be protected from frost and from damps.

Anpromepa axillaris and Catesbei have been often con- sidered as varieties of the same species, and, as both vary considerably in the form of the leaves, they may sometimes approach so near as to render it not ‘easy to decide to which Species some individuals belong, or at least not from the
foliage
foliage alone ; but we believe that our present plant in all its varieties may be generally distinguished by its shorter, more erect, and more clustered racemes. In A. Cateshb@ei the racemes are longer, more or less cernuous, and are furnished with longer and more pointed bractes. We must not conceal however, that the accurate botanist Mr. Nutrra.. is decidedly of opinion that A. axilaris and spinulosa (our Catesbai) form but one species. To us however our present plant, which we take to be variety 8 of Pursn’s axillaris, appears to be evidently distinct from the one we have given above, No. 1955, under the name of A. Catesbei. Native of Carolina and Georgia, and though considered as hardy, is liable to be killed by our winters when severe. Flowers from May to August. Communicated by Joxn Waker, Esq. of Arno’s Grove.

The Paper-Mulberry tree is a shrub of but caged 3 but, both in Japan and in the South-sea islands, is of the utmost importance for economical purposes. In Otaheite, as we are informed by Captain Cook, in his relation of his first voyage, the finest and whitest cloth worn by the chiefs
and principal persons of the island is entirely manufac- tured from the inner bark of this tree by a simple process of beating ; and in Japan the same species is cultivated in reat quantity, for the purpose of making paper of gtr
kinds, by a process in which the bark is reduced to a pulp, to be afterwards spread into sheets of greater or less thick- ness, upon similar principles, though by different contri- vances, to what are used in the manufacture of European paper, except that it appears that the Japanese employ vegetable mucilages only, and neither animal gluten nor alum, which is probably the reason that their paper is more bibulous than ours. A full description of the Japanese process for making paper from the Paper-Mulberry may be seen in Kamprer’s amenitates, which has been trans- — lated into several of the Encyclopedias and Dictionaries of the day. : : In young plants the leaves are more or less divided into lobes, but in adult shrubs they are generally entire, as seen in our plate, in which the upper figure represents a _ flowering branch of the female, and the lower one of a male plant. This tree has been long cultivated in our gardens ; poe the Hortus Kewensis before 1751, by _Perer Coxtutnson, Esq. It appears by M. Porrer’s account in Lamarcx’s Encyclopédie that it had been long cultivated also in the Paris gardens, but that the male plant only was known, till M. Broussoner, in his travels, met with the female in some garden in Scotland, and transmitted cuttings © of it. The fruit being from that time known, it was found not to belong to the genus Morus, though nearly allied to it. M. L’ Hererier gave it the name of Brovssoneria;” but his unfortunate death prevented its publication, till — adopted by Venrtenat, in his Tableau du Régne Végétal. Native of Japan and the South-sea islands. Flowers from February to September. Propagated by layers, cuttings, or seed. Communicated by Joun Waxxer, Esq.

The Spigeuia Anthelmia is a plant of considerable eflicacy for the cure of worms, and febrile diseases sup- posed to arise from the presence of worms. It was first brought into notice by Dr. Patrick Browne, in his Civil and Natural History of. Jamaica ; but it does not seem to have been ever much in use in this country ; but another
species A. marilandica (supra n. 80.) under the name of Indian Pink, was at one time in considerable vogue. There 2 be no doubt that these plants are very efficacious
: remedies,
remedies, but whether from the unpleasant narcotic effects — which they sometimes produce, especially on the eyes, or some other cause, they seem now to be very much neg- lected ; though the root of the Spigetia marilandica is still retained in the College Materia Medica.
Native of the West Indies and the continent of South America. Requires the heat of the stove, or a hot-bed, and being an annual is propagated only by seeds. Flowers in July. Cultivated by Mitter in 1759. Communicated by Mr. Witxiiam Anverson from the Chelsea garden.

Hovenra dulcis is cultivated in Japan and China for the sake of its very singular sweet jruit, as in common lan- guage it is called, though, it does not afford any covering
__ to the seed, as most fruits do; but no more does the com- _ Mon strawberry, the succulent, eatable boa of which is the enlarged receptacle, on the outside of which the seed is affixed. So in this plant, after the flowering is over the ranched foot-stalks of the flowers increase in size, become ucculent and contain a sweet pulp which Kamprer com- pares to the taste of our Burgamot pear. To the suc- cient extremities of this branched foot-stalk, the capsule boadice e three seeds in three cells is attached by a short pedicle. :
_ For specimens of this very rare plant we are indebted to Our friend Mr. Lameerr, in whose greenhouse, at Boyton, _ at flowers freely ; but the fruit has not, as yet, come to any
of maturity.
It appears from the specimens preserved in the Lam- bertian Herbarium, that there is a considerable variety with regard to the pubescence and the serrature of the leaves, and Mr. Don remarks that as the trees advance in age they become smoother and the leayes deeper serrated. In a specimen from China, in the same collection, the branches, and in degree, the leaves also are clothed with a rust-coloured pubescence, and grow more zig-zag than in the Japan plant. Perhaps this may be a distinct species.

In the third volume of that excellent work, the Flora — Taurico-caucasica, Marscuatt A Bieserstern considers this species as distinct from the biflora, to which he had at first referred it. From the last named species it is distinguished by its never having a three-flowered, though it varies with « one-flowered scape; by its peduncled, not subsessile flowers; by the reflexed lacinia of the corolla not being narrower than the upright; and by the three-cornered, not rounded germen.
It is upon Dr. Fiscuer’s authority that we give this as the Iris furcata of Marscuau.; for not having had an opportunity of examining the plant ourselves, we could not have decided whether to refer it to that species or to biflora. The second volume of the Centuria plantarum rariorum Rossicarum, if published, is not, we believe, as yet arrived in this country. 3 :

Tetraconta expansa would certainly claim little notice for its beauty, but at the same time, it is a plant of some hotoriety, having been discovered by the late Sir Joserx
Banks in Queen Charlotte’s sound, New Zealand, in pare Es
Coox’s first voyage to the Pacific Ocean; at a time wheit from its esculent qualities, it was in no ordinary degree acceptable, and more especially at'Tongatabu in the Cap- tain’s second voyage when its virtues were better known.
The first account of this plant being cultivated as an — esculent herb in Europe, is given by Count D’Ourcues in the Annales d’Agriculture for September 1819. In the’ Fourth Volume of the Transactions of the Horticultural Society is a dissertation on the advantage of cultivating this plant, as a substitute for summer Spinach, by Mr. Joun Anperson, gardiner to the Earl of Essex; from whose account it may be gathered that it is a very valuable acquisition to the culinary garden, being by most persons preterred to Spinach, and affording a more ready succes- sion in the hot months, when the latter is with great difficulty kept in order for supplying the table, from its running so speedily into flower. :
It is not very tender, resisting at the latter end of the year a greater degree of frost than what will destroy Po: tatoes, Nasturtiums, and other tender annuals. It is to be first raised ina melon frame, and planted in the open air after the middle of May, in a richly manured bed. But to. procure seeds by which, being a annual, it is only to be propagated, Mr. Anperson recommends some of the plants to be raised in poor ground or confined in pots, as is practised to procure seeds from the Ice plant.

This species of Arpvista is probably the finest of the whole genus, growing into a small tree, with large reflexed foliage, and bearing oval-shaped panicles of rose-coloured flowers at the extremities of the branches. These remain a long time in bud, and are perhaps handsomer in that State than when the flowers are fully expanded, being of a more intense colour before, than after, expansion.

_ The beauty of the flowers, in the general sense of the Word, consists in the whole genus in the rays of the Calyx, Which are persistent and variously coloured. In the pre- ‘ent species the rays’are of a bright crimson, especially os
the
the outside, on which acount, their brilliancy is seen to the —
greatest advantage before the flower is fully expanded. But those who have seen the flowers of ELicurysum eximiwm will hardly agree with Breynius in calling it the Queen of all syngenesious plants, an expression by which he pro- bably meant to flatter Mynheer Huyprexoorer, who first introduced it into the European gardens. As an everlasting flower however, for dried bouquets, it certainly stands very high. The shrub is very remarkable too for its foli- age, if foliage it can be called, which Linnavs himself was at a loss whether he should call branchlets or leaves ; we should consider them, as the former, clothed with
minute imbricated leaves. ‘The whole of the stems are
covered with a white cottony tomentum.

Justicia belongs to the natural order of Acanthacee. several of the species, the two cells of the — are istinct, _
distinct, one being placed above the other on the same fila- ment, or each filament bears two one-celled Amnthers; and upon this ground, Linnaus established his genus Diantuera. But, it has been found, that. this separation of the cells of the anthers takes place so very partially, that it is not in many cases possible to draw the line, on which account both genera have been again united. Jussrev, in the 9th volume of the Annéles du Muséum, has divided this too extensive genus, from the different form and mode of bursting of the capsules; by which he separated a portion of the species under the name of Dicrrerera, which division has been adopted by Roemer and Scuutres in their Systema Vegetabilium. The very great number of the species certainly makes a division much wanted; but it would be desirable that characters should be found in some measure independent of the capsules, as these are so rarely. perfected by plants under cultivation. 7 The species here figured has been generally known by — the name of americana ; but, as there are other North- American species, and Micuaux’s name of pedunculosa has — been adopted by Pours and Nurraxt, and by the authors of the new Systema Vegetabilium, we have thought it better to use one so appropriate, than one not exclusively applicable. _ - Except Piuxener’s figure, no representation of this spe- cies has been before published. Native of North America, growing in bays and slow- flowing waters of the rivers St. Laurence, Oswego, Ohio, — Kenhaway, &c. When once established in standing water, — increases freely by its creeping roots, and resists our | winters very well ; being in its native climate subjected to much severer cold. No other species in the whole genus — has been hitherto cultivated in this country in open air. _ Our drawing was made from specimens communicated — by Mr. Rosert Brown, from Lady Banxs’s garden a — Spring-Grove, where it has been long cultivated. ae

Descr. Stem erect.. Leaves 5-lobed, cordate, crenate- dentate, rugose, tomentose underneath. Petiole the length of the lamina, ciliated at the base. Racemes of flowers cernuous, many-flowered, 4 inches long; pedicles shorter than the flower: bractes shorter than pedicles, ciliated. Segments of the calyx rounded, reflexed, green, sometimes brown at the apex. Petals minute, wedge-shaped, rounded at the point, inserted into the sinuses of the calyx. Fila- ments erect, a little longer than the calyx : anthers two- lobed, whitish. Germen inferior, globular. Style deeply bifid, now and then trifid. The fruit we have not seen, as none came to maturity in the Fulham garden.
The leaves smell like those of the common, and have none of the peculiar odour of the black currant. We see ho reason to doubt our plant being the same species as described by Scuunrss, though he seemed to think that his plant might be the same with spicatum of Rosson, from
Which ours differs not only in the long cernuous ipa or t ;
_ and stamens.
but particularly in the length of the stamens, and the deep divisionof the style; in both which characters, it seems also to differ from all the other European species.
Scuutres received specimens. of his mudtifora from M. Kirrarwer, who found it in Croatia. He describes the petioles as being the length of the leaves (25 inches) and hairy ; the width of the leaves frequently exceeding the length; the pedicles of the lower flowers as long as the reflexed calyx; the filaments capillary, smooth, and some- thing longer than the calyx ; characters which agree well with our plant, but not at all with spzcatum. Our plant was introduced by Mr. Howe, who writes that “he found it near the iron foundery between Brzaza and Ludwikuwka, and on the extensive mountainous estate of his much re- spected friend M. pp Margowskxt, a benevolent encourager of the arts, at the foot of the Gurgulat, on the chain of the Carpathian mountains, and in some other places ; but it is found only on the northern aspect of high mountains, above the first region, but where the Haze and Sameucus racemosa are still seattered.”” He never could find tbe fruit; which he attributes, to the numerous birds of passage that cross these mountains towards Greece at the season the fruit is ripe. |
Mr. Howe saw the same, or a nearly related species, in Dr. Hosrs’ garden in Vienna, which he was informed came from Hungary. This was probably Kiramet’s plant. ~ Communicated by Messrs. Wurrzey and Co. of the Ful- ham nursery, where it flowered freely in the open ground, in May last, but produced no fruit. May be propagated by cuttings, and seems to require no particular care.

Sepum hybridum, spurium, and ibericum appear to be very nearly allied, and all belong to the first section of the Senus, the Planifolia, Anacampseros of Ray and 'Tourne-
Fort, as well as Haworru ; but the first is described by
maRrck as having yellow flowers. Ibericum of Sreven spurium may perhaps be. mere varieties of each other ;
and but in tbericum the cauline leaves are described as oppo-
site, and the margins roughish, but not ciliated ; differing our plant in the former character, and agreeing with
it in the latter; in which the leaves were only slightly

FONTAI?
FONTAINEs in the Anndles du Museum, v. 11. p. 445. t. 46. which certainly very much resembles our plant, except in the number of stamens being only five, in the cauline leaves being opposite, and in the eolour of the flowers, which are described as white. ,
Though our plant does not correspond with the specific character, in the single circumstance of the leaves not having ciliated margins, we do not hesitate to refer it to SEpuM spurium; the more especially, as it agrees well with the figure quoted from Buxsaum, and bears the strong resemblance to Crassuna crenata of Desronraines insisted on by Marscwatt. <=
Sepum spurium does not occur in the last edition of Arron’s Hortus Kewensis. Native of Caucasus; growing on the rocks about the hot springs of the Constantine mountain, and abundantly near the summit of Mount Beschtan. A hardy perennial, well adapted to ornament rock-work.

Cistus Barreliert is an upright small branched shrub, with opposite linear-lanceolate, revolute leaves, not unlike those of Rosemary, by nomeans crowded together, or in fascicles, terminated with a very small mucro ; short petioles with two small, erect, subulate stipules to each. The branches end in a raceme of a few yellow flowers on longish footstalks, red at the lower part, and after the flowering is over, much reflected with a single small oval bracte at the base of each. Calyx oval, pointed, the two outer leaflets small, spreading, green, and might be called bractes rather than parts of the calyx; the three inner ones connivent, reddish, and persistent ; with the ciliate nerves so raised, as to make the calyx appear angular. Petals rounded, not emarginate. Stamens not half the length of the petals. Style the length of the stamens: stigma capitate.
Linnazus united Tournerorr’s genera Cisrus and He- LIANTHEMUM. Jussieu and most modern botanists have Hf separated them, but as they remain united in the
ortus Kewensis, and we have already published some species of HetianrHemum under the name of Cisrus, we still continue the Linnean euee etiou, contenting ourselves with the sections into which the genus is divided ; if they are to be separated, this species will belong to Het1anrHeE- MUM. --
The synonymy is particularly difficult to be ascertained. Tenore quotes tab. 443 of Barreier; but tab. 440 of the same author is certainly much more like our plant, which we have therefore quoted, adding the former as dubious. -
We are indebted for the communication of this plant, and generally for the synonymy, to P. B. Wess, Esq. who raised it from seeds given him by Professor Pinzo of Palermo, author of a Pugillus rariorum plantarum Sicilia, and is doubtless Trenorz’s species. It is distincuished from some other nearly allied species, chiefly by its upright
growth. 3

The genus Loasa first occurs in Apanson’s Familles des Plantes ; but the characters were better ascertained by Jacauin in his Observationes Botanicz ; from whose autho- rity only, it appears to have been inserted into the twelfth edition of Linnaus’s Systema Nature, where the ortho- graphy is changed to Loosa, perhaps by an error of the press only; but continued in the future editions, and by Scureser in his Genera Plantarum; the original spelling is,
Owever, restored by Jussieu, Lamarck, and WiLLDENow. he name is supposed to have been given by Apanson, in onour of some unknown Spanish botanist.
The genus was at first added by Jussieu to his natural order of Onagre; but has been since raised by him into a Separate family, under the name of Loasex, containing, besides the present genus, only Menrzexis, its near ailinity With which was remarked by Jacquin. 5

Of the virulence of the present species we have ourselves had personal experience, the effects of a puncture at the end of the thumb being felt, not continually indeed, but at intervals, especially on first rising in the morning, for six days. The sensation was chiefly a bettitieg heat in the part, not accompanied with the intolerable itching that sometimes follows the sting of a nettle. A tender annual.

At No. 2305 of this work we have given a figure of Acuania Malvaviscus, with which Acuanta mollis agrees very much in form and habit; but is at once distinguished
by the soft woolliness of its leaves, so different from the
rough feel of the former. There are said to be two varie-
_ es of this species, one with entire, the other with undivided
leaves; but, we doubt, whether such differences are per- Manent, leaves of both, and intermediate forms, sometimes ccurring on the same plant. ie ee : These plants very rarely produce fruit, as cultivated in Our stoves; so that we were particularly gratified on receiving specimens both in flower and with ripe fruit ™m our friend Mr. Waker. ae The berry of Acuanta Malvaviscus is represented by Professor Swartz, in his Flora Indica, as having a oe surface,
surface, internally divided into five one-seeded cells, and is ,
described to be of a yellow colour. In our plant the berry is remarkably different; being composed. of five distinct, though coherent seeds, covered by a pulpy substance, with a scarlet external covering. .
Professor Swartz ee the name of Acnanza to this genus, derived from the word ayavys, not gaping, because the flowers never expand.
Native of South America and the West India islands, and requires to be kept in the stove. Propagated by cuttings. Flowers in August, September, and October.

. Botanists have not been at all agreed under what class i the sexual system to arrange this plant. Linnzus, fol- lowed by Wittpenow and the Hortus Kewensis, placed it in Gynandria; Tuunnere, Van, and Persoon in Diandria ;
MaRcK, in Diecia; our individual specimen, as was
Observed to us by Mr. Kent, certainly belongs to Monecia.
The American species, which have not been introduced into our gardens, may not belong to the same genus, or, if they do, may, like some other genera of the natural order of Urticarie, to which Guwxera belongs, be one dicecious,
nother moneecious, and a third hermaphrodite, or poly-

A showy species, not inferior.in beauty to G. Ibericum. Native of Gosainsthan, one of the snowy peaks of the Hima- laya or Emodus, the loftiest chain of the Nepalese Alps, which may be justly regarded as the Cordilleras of the ancient continent. It has been raised in several of the collections in the vicinity of the metropolis from seeds sent by Dr. Watticu, by whose collectors it was first athercil It appearsto be perfectly hardy, and promises to bea valuable acquisition to our flower borders. I have been induced, from an examination of recent specimens, to make some little alteration in the specific definition given by me in Mr. Sweer’s Geraniacee. The form of the stipules is an important character in this tribe of vegetables. Don.
e are indebted for the above account of this interesting species to Mr. Davin Don. Our drawing was made from a specimen, communicated by our friend ALEXANDER Mactray, Esq. secretary to the Linnean Society, who raised it in his garden at Tilbuster Lodge, near Godstone, from seeds sent him by Dr. Wituicu.

Specific Name.
Scuizopetaton Walkeri.
Although we can give only a very imperfect generic sakes" yet, from the very chile ken of the petals, perhaps quite a solitary instance in the natural order of the crucifere, we venture to announce this curious plant, a8 anew genus of that family. 7 .
It grows with a rather feeble, assurgent stem. Lower leaves four or five inches Iong, sinuate-pinnatifid, scabrous On both sides and at the margins, distant. Peduncles ax-
illary, solitary, but collected into a receme at the top. Calyx cylindrical, with an equal base, and connivent. Pe- tals spreading, flat, the Zamina cut into regular segments.
As we have never seen the seed vessels, even in an ro State, tolerably perfect, our description must necessarily very defective; but as it may be very long before other Specimens of this plant may come under our notice, we are unwilling to miss the opportunity of publishing it. Should it hereafter be found to unite with any known genus, our ;ame, derived from the form of the petals, must of course
. Sven up as a generic, but may still be retained as a trivial one
It was raised from seeds, received from Chili, by Joun Waker, Esq. and flowered in November. Is probably 2 annual or biennial. :

This species of Astragalus was discovered by Dr. Francis Haminron, in 1802, at Gorasan, in Upper Nepal. It has since been met with by Dr. Watuicu’s collectors on the Himalaya Alps. Dr. Watticn suspected it to be a new species of Galega; but a careful examination proves it to belong decidedly to the genus in which we have placed it. The broad leafy stipules and the stipitate pods are the dis- tinguishing marks of this species. In general appearance it somewhat resembles the common Astragalus glycyphyllos. In the Lambertian Herbarium, are specimens of two other new species, natives of the Nepalese Alps. Don.
_ This new Astracatus was raised at the Fulham nursery, in the spring of 1822, from seeds, given by Rosert Henry Jenkinson, Esq. and being planted out in the open ground flowered in September and October. Mr. Mitne informs us, that he thinks it will prove to be hardy.

___We have very great doubt whether there are really two _ Species of Boxronia. Nor, if there are two species, can
We certainly determine to which our plant should be re-
ferred, so inadequate are the descriptions given to ascertain
the difference. If the short character adopted from Hererier, in the Hortus Kewensis and WitLDENow, can be depended upon we are sure to be right; and the defi-, hition given by Micuavx corresponds very well; but from the observation of this author, ‘se Botronia asteroides, he ‘eems to be doubtful whether both species may not belong to one and the same; or, at least, he says, they altogether 4gree in habit, foliation, and colour of the flowers. We have examined the Banksian and Lambertian herba- riums,
riums, which contain specimens referred to both species, without being able, to satisfy OURenYES of ree? real pen: mination.
It has perhaps bedn owing to the difficulty of deciding to which species our plant belongs, that it has so commonly gone by the name of Boxronta /evis in our nurseries.
Our drawing was made from a specimen communicated _ 4 the Botanic Garden at add St. Edmunds, in Novem- ber last.

these parts undivided, it becomes necessary to add the term lanceolate to the character of the former.* The president refers this genus to the first section of Jussiev’s Narcissi, the Asphodelee of Brown ; with which family it agrees, in having the leaflets of the corona opposite to the inner lacinie.
Our plant was communicated by Joun. Wanker, Esq. from his collection at Arno’s Grove, Southgate. Native of Chili, in South America. Flowers in October.

by Pursu to have purple flowers ; but the flowers of all the olsnts of this species, in the collection at Spofforth, from whence our specimen was taken, are invariably white, with a red centre. The outer calyx varies with eleven, twelve, or thirteen segments. It is a tolerably hardy herbaceous plant, enduring the English winter often in the open border; but its flowers will not come to perfection without artificial heat. It should be kept in a pot, which may be preserved in the greenhouse during the winter, and removed into the stove in spring. W. H.

Branches many, spreading-erect, simple or divided, disposed in a Pyramidal form, marked, as well as the upper part of the stem, with several narrow obtuse angles from the decurrent
_ mid-ribs. Leaves lanceolate, sessile, thin, veined, finely and
closely serrated at the margins, three to seven inches long, _ 4nd about half an inch or one in breadth, smooth on both _ Sides, somewhat narrowed at the base, and tapering towards the extremity into a long narrow point; those near the top of the stem and branches, linear and tapering: the veins and mid-rib purplish underneath. Racemes many-flowered, leafy, isposed ina panicle. Flowers alternate, unilateral, on foot- stalks shorter than the bractes, which are linear, pointed, minutely serrulate, nearly the length of the pedicels. Seg- ments of the calyx very long, linear, pointed, very minutely
‘errulate, smooth, almost equal the length of the corolla. Corolla
Corolla \urid-purple, about the size of that of Lobelia cardinalis: segments lanceolate, acute. Filaments united above, free below, and ciliated. Anthers dark blue, hairy. Style filiform, smooth. Stigma two-lobed : lobes rounded, entire, concave underneath.
This fine species of Lobelia is a native of Upper Nepal, and the mountainous district of Sylhet in the Eastern division of Bengal, where it flowers, according to Dr. Waxticu, in the early part of the season. It is called Atia Chao in the Kasi language, and is made use of as a stimulant by the Natives of Nepal. Dr. Waxuicu has certainly been misled by the dried specimens, in attributing to this plant white, or pale violet flowers. In the Lambertian Herbarium are many fine specimens of this, as well as of two other Nepal species. This plant will prove a valuable addition to our collections. Its tall, purple, branchy stems, adorned with numerous racemes of shewy purple flowers, render it a con- spicuous object. Don.

_ Anacarus latifolia is distinguished from A. Monelli (su- pra n. 319) by having broader, more obtuse and nerved faves ; by the petals being more orbicular with quite en- lite margins and crowded closer together ; by the calycine _ Segments being too short to appear in sight, as they do in the last-named plant ; and by the stem appearing flattened ¥ two of the angles being much larger and more obtuse the other two. : he synonym of Barrenrer (ic. 584,) as is observed b _ M.

_Mr. Brown, in his account of the natural order of Ascle- _Piadee, published in the Transactions of the Wernerian lety, has limited considerably the genus Cynancuum, and has divided it into sections, which, he observes, may Probably be considered hereafter as distinct genera. Our present plant belongs to his fifth section, containit also C. Vincetoxicum, and a nearly allied species whic
he calls C. medium. a
It must be observed, that our plant is not the Cynancaum migrum of Cavanittes and WuLLpENow, now Gono- Logus niger, but is generally known by the old name of AscLepias nigra, though it has been long ago observed to belong rather to Cynancuum than Asciepias, and will yet, not improbably, revert to Piiny’s name Vinceroxicum.

Although Wiiipenow has recorded the Bromenia syl- vestris by name only, without any description whatever, and Linx has only added, that its leaves are like those of Bromexia Pinguin, only narrower, yet there can be little doubt but that our plant is the species meant by these au- thors, because Mr. Anprrson received it from Mr. Orro, the inspector of the royal botanic garden at Berlin, under
name. Before coming into flower it is not distinguish- able from Mr. Linpuey’s Bromesa fastuosa, except by the leaves bein elongated to a much slenderer termination ; ut when the flowering stem shoots up they are at once distinguished by the length of the branchlets of fastuosa Which, in our plant do not protrude beyond the upright sheathing bases of the bractes. A similar inflorescence May be observed in DiLLentus’s hips of B. Pinguin, which Seems to differ from our plant only in the ter rigidity and size, and more upright position of the leaves. drawing was go a at the Apothecaries’ botanic Sarden, at Chelsea, in July last.

This plant has been cultivated in gardens both here and on the continent, as the reticulatus; but is certainly not the Syrian plant described by Cxustus in his Stirpes panno- nice, under the name of Hyoscyamus peregrinus, the seeds of which were communicated to him by Bernarp. Paxup. Frisivs, on his return from his travels in Egypt and Syria, by the name of Benze, which is the true reticulatus of
INNZUS. 3 2
Our plant appears to us not to be specifically different from the common Henbane ; but Mr. Anperson of the Chelsea garden thinks it certainly is; observing, that it is Constantly annual, while the former, even under cultivation, 'S as constantly biennial. But Sir James E. Surru describes
Yoscyamus mger as having an annual root; so that we
| _ Must own we have our doubts whether we have done right
in
in considering it even as a variety. There seems, however, to bea considerable difference in the descriptions of H. niger by different authors, and in the Systema Vegetabilium of — Roemer and Scuuttes, a doubt is expressed, whether the English and Swedish plants are the same species as the southern continental. The description of Potxicn corres- ponds with our plant. The flowers, he says, ‘are an inch, often an inch and a halfin diameter, beautifully painted with purple reticulated veins, and having a dark purple faux. It is this last character, that Ciusius particularly uses to distinguish the common Henbane from his peregrinus, the reticulatus of Linnzus, the latter having not a purple, but a white centre. :
HenspaneE has been known from ancient times as a poison- ous plant ; but in modern practice, is nevertheless found to be an efficacious, and, with proper caution, a safe remedy.

upper. Seeds quite globular, and white before they are ripe. The whole plant smells strongly aromatic.
Our plant was raised by Messrs. Wuirtey, Bramez, and Mine from Nepal seeds, and, there is no doubt, is the Peritxa ocymoides of Roxpuren, which was brought from Nepal to the Calcutta garden, by Dr. Hamurron (late Bucuanan). It is.also the same as the specimen preserved in the Banxstan Herbarium, from the plant introduced to the Kew garden by Mons. Ricuarp, and described by La Marck in the Encyclopédie Méthodique, under Menta perilloides, but since referred to Pertixa, in the Supple- ment, by Mons. Porrer.
Neither have we any doubt but that our plant is the same species which Arpurno has described and figured, though it did not show the upper segment of the calyx so much shorter than the rest; as appears in his figure, and both Roxsures and La Marck, describe the style as single. On this account we have attempted to give a new gener character, which is at least more applicable to. the only plant now known under the name of Peritia ocymoides.

is the same is not quite so certain, though it most probably is, and the small number of racemes described and figured by them has been perhaps owing to their specimen being taken from the lower part of the branch.
We were much inclined to think, that our plant was the same species as Berseris Aguifolium of Pursn ; but it is described as an upright shrub five or six feet high; whereas the latter is said to be an under shrub, about a foot high, with procumbent branches, producing abundance of scions. _ By the advice of our friend Mr. Rosert Brown, we have not adopted Nurraui’s name of Maunonza, because there does not seem to beany constant generic characters by which the pinnated-leaved Barberries can be separated from the simple-leaved. Indeed, the simple leaf in the common Barberry, and all the other species belonging to the same section, being articulated with the petiole, proves, accord: ing to this excellent physiologist, a naturally compound nature, just as the leaf of the Jasmine, which is more usually compound, becomes in several species simple; but still shows its compound nature by its articulation with the petiole; there is therefore no more reason on this account to separate the pinnated-leaved Barberries from the simple- _leaved, than there is to divide the Jasmines with simple, from those with compound leaves. Nurratn and_ ‘Canvoze have erroneously adduced the want of glands at, the base of the petioles as a distinguishing character, a3 _ Mr Brown finds that these exist in all the known species, though varying in size, and sometimes, as in our plant, nearly concealed by the breadth of the flat filament. only other character of importance in the attempt to estab- lish Manonza as a distinct genus, is the teeth on the fila- ments, which Mr. Brown finds are present in three of the pinnated-leaved species, but entirely wanting in two; viz. glumacea and nepalensis. Another argument against separating the pinnated-leaved Barberries from the simple- leaved is afforded, by the circumstance that in Dr CA%- poute’s third section of the genus BreRBeris are rec two species, one from Tournrrort’s, and the other from an ee apts which have compound leaves;

This splendid plant is supposed to be a native of Mau- ritius, from whence it was sent to Dr. Roxgure at Calcutta; but it may be doubted whether it is indigenous in that island, as no bulbs of it have since been received from thence. It is,very closely allied to.C. amabile ; nor. does there appear to be any decided botanical distinction between the two species; excepting that the style, which in C. ama- bile is much longer than the filaments, appears to be inva- riably shorter than the filaments in C. augustum. C. au- gustum is of humbler growth; its flowers shorter, but ofa brighter colour ; their fragrance very different from that of — amabile, and less powerful ; the points of its leaves less acute; its filaments of a paler red, differing from the colour of the style. Our specimen had sixteen flowers. Roxpuré describes the scape to be of a blackish purple, bearing from twenty to thirty flowers, ten or eleven inches long. augustum, though a little inferior in size, is by mo means inferior to C. amabile in beauty. W. H.
_P.S._ Since this article was prepared for the press, 2 — figure of C. augustum has been published in the Bot. Reg. under the title of C. amabile, @ augustum. We have re- tained Dr. Roxsure’s name, because, although the affinity is great, it is separated from C. amabile by precisely the same features as C. speciosum from C. insigne, whieh has been erected into a distinct species, under the name of AmaryLLis insignis, in the Bot. Reg. We have already stated (see Appendix, p. 47), that in a revision of the gens C. augustum might. properly be considered. a variety of amabile, brevifolium of toxicarium, canaliculatum and @& altatum of pedunculatum, longifolium of lorifoliwm, et sifolium of defixum, and insigne of speciosum.

This undescribed species of Maranta, which flowered in . the Botanic garden, belonging to the iA of Apothe- caries, at Chelsea, in July 1822, was raised from seeds received from Trinidad. ‘Though not mentioned in the Flora Peruviana of Ruiz and Pavon, a specimen of the same species collected in Peru, by these celebrated Bota- nists, and ticketed by them with the name of gramini/olia, is preserved in the Lambertian Herbarium; but as the leaves can hardly be compared with those of European grasses, we have preferred calling it angustifolia.
Maranta angustifolia is a much smaller plant than arundinacea; the swelled joints of the culm are more evident, being not concealed by the sheaths of the foot- stalks; the leaves are not only much smaller, but are narrowed at the base, which in arundinacea are rounded, and often cordate; the flowers grow in a lax, zig-zag panicle; the inner valve of the spathe or bracte is, like the corolla, of a pale blue colour, the calycine leaflets are oval, not, as in arundinacea, lanceolate. a

This plant was first described by Father Frurtziz, who found it near the City of Conception in Chili. He remarks that the natives prepare a bright yellow dye by boiling it in water. The Peruvians according to Ruiz and Pavon use a decoction of the herb for destroying the worms that breed in sores, whence its name of Centrayerba which signifies vermifuge.

We have before given four species of this division, which tank under the genus HeurniA of Brown; No. 506, lenti- - Sosa ; No. 1662, reticulata; No. 1227, campanulata ; and No, 1661, clavigera ; the last is erroneously given under the name of campanulata. 'The two last mentioned es
our present one barbata are so very nearly re aie
that though recorded as distinct by the best authority, by Jacquin, Haworrn, and in the Hortus Kewensis, may be thought by some to be only varieties of one species.
The flowers of Srapetia barbata, smell less offensively than most of the other species ;. the corolla is smooth, pale, and of nearly a uniform colour ‘on the outside, except that the tube. is obscyrely streaked, but within the limb is roughened by raiséd spots, and’by scattered glandular, somewhat clubbed hairs. .The branches are straight, and have sometimes four, more frequéntly five, and now and then six angles,

There is a considerable difference in the degree of vil- losity in different plants, and also in the undulation of the leaves. It is a yery desirable species, both on account of the size of the flowers, which in one of our specimens, measured three inches in diameter when fully expanded, and its very fragrant odour.

The synonymy of these plants is extremely confused, Repovté’s Liliacez, t. 298 is quoted in the Flora Caucasica, as a synonym of cernua, though it certainly represents the amena of the Botanical Magazine. In this work there are iwo figures under the name of ScinLa amena ; the other tab. 130, apparently represents our present plant, differing little, except in its greater number of leaves.
If Scitxa cernua of the Flora Caucasica be the same spe- cies, itis very common throughout all middle Russia, where spontaneous specimens bear generally one or two flowers,
very rarely three. - Communicated in March last. by Mr. Anperson of the Chelsea garden, who raised a number of plants from seeds sent by Mr. Orro of the Berlin garden, under the name of Scinza amenula.

The genus Cantu, to which our plant has been referred y Jussieu and other botanists, belongs to the natural Order of Polemoniacee; but Mr. Rosert Brown, in the Botanical Register (No. 299) has referred Vest1a to the Solanee ; the justness of which arrangement has been Since confirmed by Mr. Davin Don, from an examination ofthe fruit. This able young botanist has likewise pointed Out its near affinity to Cesrrum, a genus also belonging to the family of Solanee. here is only one species of Vesta at present known, fora full description of which we refer to Mr Don’s observa- _ Hons on the natural family of plants called Polemoniacee, Published in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, for _ October 1822, It
It is entirely on the authority of Pavon’s specimen now in the Lambertian Herbarium, that the synonym from the Flora Peruviana is added, for the figure cited from that work is so incorrect, especially from the addition of the capsule of a true Cantua, that we should not have thought it intended for our plant. It was most probably owing to this error as Mr. Don remarks, that Jussreu was led to unite it with his Cantua.
This handsome, but ill-scented, shrub is a native of Chili in South America. Is generally treated as a greenhouse plant ; but, if the winter prove mild, will do very well without protection. Mr. Jos. Knrexr in the King’s Road, Chelsea, had a very fine plant, which stood in the open air through the winter of 1721—2, flowered and produced fruit the following summer, but the severe frost of 1722—3 destroyed it.. It is readily propagated by cuttings.

Hyoscyamus orientalis is very nearly related to physa- loides (supra No. 852) but is different; the leaves are more Pointed, and repand, and after the plant has flowered they Srow to a very large size, having much the appearance of those of the Bete. The flowers are shorter than those of A. physaloides, but the calyx, stamens, and style are longer _™ proportion; they are not of so dark a purple colour and More sonipicnousld veined. MarscHatt v. BrepersTEIN also remarks that the root descends deep between the clefts i the rocks, and forms a germinating head the size of the fist, uneven from the buds being mixed with the remains of former stalks and petioles.
A hardy perennial. Indigenous in Iberia and about the acidulous spring at Narzana. Flowers in April. Propa- Sated by seeds. Communicated by A. B, Lampert, Esq from his collection at Boyton.

Oxatis rosea has been hitherto known to botanists only
by the description and figure of Frurtiéz, with which our Plant accords in too many respects to allow us to consider _ las a distinct species, though he describes the flowers as emg of a pale red colour with darker streaks extending only half way along the petal ; but it is not improbable _ ‘hat the colour may vary in intensity in different individuals ; : and in the inflorescence, stem, foliage, and especially the | extraordmary
Sees ;
extraordinary length of the peduncles, the two plants per- fectly-accord.
Fruiuée describes it to be an annual plant, and observes that the Indians use it, in addition with other plants, to dye different colours; but this is perhaps only on account of the oxalic acid it may contain in common with the other species of the genus, and not from any colouring matter in its composition.
Native of Chili, growing in wet places along the sides of ditches. Communicated in April last, by Joun Watxer, a of Arno’s Grove, who raised it from seeds sent from Chili.

This species of Lrmonia, though nearly allied to penta- _ phylla, appears to differ in having more lanceolate leaves, but more especially in the campanulate form of the corolla, _ the petals being erect, and only spreading a little at the _ points. The fruit in our plant approaches to a globular form, a little flattened, and considerably oblique. This
bliquity is probably owing to one of the seeds only com- g to maturity, which compresses the other two cells into Small space, and throws the insertion of the style to one _ Side, though in the germen the style occupies the centre.

The genus Acacia is referred by Jussieu to his natural order of Lecuminosa; but Brown, in Flinder’s Voyage, Bol. 2. p. 551, has established a family of Mimosee, con- Sistine of Linnaus’s Mimosa, divided by Witpenow into five genera, together with ApEnANTHERA and Prosopis. _, Mr. Brown observes, that * nearly the whole of the Australasian species belong to Acacia of WILLDENow, as at 7 ae constituted, and that nine-tenths of them belong to _ Als first division, having what he calls simple leaves, but - Which are in reality aphyllous, the dilated foliaceous foot- Stalk performing the functions of the true compound leaf, Which is produced only in the seedling plant, or occasion- allyin the more advanced state, in particular circumstances,
where plants have been injured. The great number of species
species of AcactA having this remarkable property in Terra Australis forms one of the most striking peculiarities of its vegetation ; nearly a hundred species have been already observed. But though the leafless Acacie are thus nume-
rous and general in Terra Australis, they appear to be ‘
very rare in other parts of the world.”
Acacia diffusa is supposed to be a native of the newly 4
discovered country beyond the Blue Mountains, in New South Wales. Introduced by Messrs. Convitie of the King’s Road. Is an ornamental greenhouse shrub. Flow- ers in April. Communicated by Jonn Wanker, Esq.

This plant has not, as far as we can discover, been hitherto described, except the one quoted from Fruriz _ bethe same, which is doubtful, from the linear reflexed _ Spathe represented in his figure. It appears to have a near
aflinity with Anium striatum (No. 1095 and 1524); and also to Atrium inodorum (No. 1129,) both of which plants being quite destitute of the garlicky scent, having a two- _-Valved spathe, and filaments dilated at the base, appear to us to belong rather to Ornrrmocatum than to Attium. We __ believe the same observation might be extended to Arurum _ subhirsutum (No. 774, erroneously there named ciliatum).
The name of Jxioides seemed so appropriate to our plant, that we were at first much inclined to think it might be
_ that species, a native of California, of which we know no more
more than the character given in the Hortus Kewensis, not having been able to find any specimen of it; but the fila- ments being there described to be forked, bearing the anthers in the middle, we are constrained to consider the two plants as specifically distinct.
Our present subject is a native of Chili, and was raised from seeds which came from that country, by our friend Joun Warker, Esq. Flowers in May. Is probably hardy enough to bear our climate in the open air provided the bulbs are protected from frost. i

Pumonaria mollis is very nearly allied to angustifolia, the chief differences observed by authors being the proportion- ately greater length of the calyx, broader sinuses of the ‘cinie of the corolla, and the softer more silky pubescence of the leaves ; but Mr. Jonn Denson, the very intelligent “urator of the botanic garden at Bury St. Edmunds, informs 's, that these two plants are remarkably different in their Wot’ of growth ; angustifolia sending out its flowering Stems horizontally, close to the ground, and even when the
°wers open being only moderately assurgent, whereas the
of mollis are in all their stages quite erect.

Erysimum lanceolatummajus and minus appear to us to be rather distinct species than varieties, but we do not yenture to deviate from the authority of Dz Canpouzz, particularly as all authors agree that these plants are ex- | tremely subject to variation. From the Curtrantuus alpinus of Jacquin our plant differs in beg ascendent, not erect. — ’'The pubescence both in the cultivatéd and wild state is | simple, not bipartite; the flowers are much larger and— most charmingly fragrant, which in Jacquin’s plant are described to be without scent ; the claws of the petals in — our plant are much longer than the calyx, but in the other only equal to it.. The figures quoted from Axzion1 are good representations of our plant in its native state; under cultivation it is sometimes branched, but is always of humble growth, never “upright-and from one to three feet high.” From its delicate sulphur-coloured flowers, as well as their charming fragrance, it is a plant well worth a place in the flower-garden, and is particularly adapted for orna- menting rock-work. :

The first account that Mr. Caresry received of this plant Was from a specimen sent hizn by Mr. Crayton from Vir- $mia, being a branch of the only tree known in that
_ Country ; and it was probably from this dried specimen, that the figure in his Natural History of Carolina was
taken; and it appears to us that the flower was made out
ftom one of Maenouia glauca, prc, Pg! unlike that of
Sur plant. Caressy informs us, that Mr. Joun Bartram of
Pensylvania afterwards met with several in that country, : “ ee * some
af
some of which, on the north side of the Sesqtehannah river, were above a hundred feet in height. The wood, he , has a fine grain, is very. tough, and of a fine oran

We are informed by Dr. Watticu, in the work above Loted, that this fine shrub is a native of the hilly parts on € borders of Bengal, about Silhet, whence it was intro- duced into the Botanic Garden at Calcutta, in 1815, by
Mr. M. R. Smiru.
“This shrub,” Dr.Wat1icu observes, “ is exceedingly ele- Sant, on account of its large round corymbs, which for eight months in the year are produced in constant succes- ‘on. The colour of the flowers is a pale pink, gradually
‘coming reddish as they grow old, beautifully contrasting With the shining dark green leaves.” There is in Roxburgh’s
Flora Indica, a detailed description of the species.
Our
Our drawing was made from a plant, communicated by Messrs. Loppices and Sons, in February last; and we re- ceived a specimen of the same species from Mr. Brooxgs, of Ball’s Pond, in August 1820.
It is a very free flowerer in our stoves, and if it should approach the same perfection in the artificial heat as it arrives at in the open air in a tropical climate, we may expect, as the plants grow older, that they will produce much larger heads of flowers.
Requires to be kept constantly in the stove. Is a gated by cuttings. Should be potted in rich loam with a mixture of peat earth.

The American species of vine, according to Micuavux, are all diecious, that is, the male and female flowers are on distinct trees. ‘The plant from which our drawing was taken being male, of course produces no grapes. Mr. Pursu temarks that the female plants are seldom found north of the Patowmac river, though the males extend very far beyond it. This observation reminds us of an analogous fact respecting the hop ; the male of which are found in almost etary hedge in some parts of this country, whilst the females we believe are seldom seen with us except under cultivation. The stems of this vine are finely grooved and later in the season, have a reddish brown tinge on the Parts exposed to the sun. The leaves have a very broad Sinus at the base, are slightly divided into three lobes, the ‘erratures are unequal and terminated with a soft mucro,
they are smooth on the upper surface, but on the — side,
side, though more shining than on the upper, have their interstices between the veins filled with a very fine greenish tomentum, and are hairy along the nerves. or larger veiis, and round the margins, and also along the petioles. The tendrils are long, and divided towards the extremity, which, on the flowering branches represented in our figure, of. course are not. seen, for being produced in the vine by abortive peduncles, when these bear flowers, no tendrils appear. The peduncles are opposed to the petioles, and bear compound racemes, on which the flowers grow several together from the same point, forming a number of little detached umbels.
Jacquin’s Vitis incisa, is referred by Pursu to his cor- data ; his figure, however, evidently represents our plant, which we think must be Micnavx’s riparia. / Native of North America. Introduced, we believe, by the late Mr. Lyons, at whose sale our plant was bought by Mr. Watxer, under the name of odoratissima, but Mr- CHAUX’s name riparia has the right of priority. The flowers have a very sweet scent, which Pursu compares to that of Mignionette, It is hardy, and like other vines readily pro pagated by cuttings. | 7

This is a very elegant shrub when in flower, and still mare so in fruit. When the leaves first come out in the
ring they are covered with a white cottony pubescence, which falls off from their upper surface as the leaves attain their full growth, and by the time the fruit is ripe, nearly disappears. altogether. The fruit is at first green, then red, and, when ripe, black, and contains a juicy sweet pulp.
Our list of synonyms will shew how much authors have differed in their ideas to what genus it should be referred. Lannus at first made it a Mesprivs, but in the Supplemen- tum Plantarum it was placed under Pyrus; Cranrz referred it to Sorsus. Prrsoon added it.to his genus Aronii. Mr. Linpteyr, the last author that has published on the subject, following, Mepicus, considers AMELANcHIER to form a distinct genus, containing, besides the present plant, Pyrus Botryapium, ovalis, and cretica. The chief cha- racter he adduces to establish the genus, is the ovarium being ten-celled, with one seed in each cell. But the value of this character appears to be considerably diminished, by the author’s own observation, that the dissepiments dividing the cells of the ovarium are spurious, rather than — real dissepiments, and are “ quickly obliterated by the
ywth of the ovula: so that the ripe ‘fruit does not differ, in this respect, from the rest of the order.’’ But.in so natu- ral a family as the Pomaeea, or first section of the Rosaees of Jussrev, it will be ever difficult to assign proper limits to the genera. Sir James Epwarp Smira perceiving how inadequate the number of ‘styles. was to distinguish one — genus from another, has thought it best to reduce the whole order to two genera, viz. Mrsprzus and Pyrus: Mr. Linptey, on the other hand, divides the Pomacs into twelve, which he has defined with much ability; = Pyrus Amelanchier is a hardy ornamental shrub, easily — propagated by the young scions, which plants, that have been raised from seeds, put forth from the roots ; but it Is not unusual Ca them upon other stocks, which, how- ever, do not make so handsome plants as those raised from seeds. It is a native of the South of Europe, where It grows among the rocks in subalpine regions. Commu- — nicated by Joun Waker, Esq. of Arno’s Grove. bie

Peduncles axillary, longer than the leaves, erect, rounded, studded With white linear warts. Flowers in a subverticillate spike, of the most inimitable brilliant scarlet, fading to purple.

Arum italicum has been frequently confounded with the RUM maculatum, or common Cuckow-pint; yet, if any tolerable figure had ever been given of it, this mistake could hardly have been made. The whole plant is nearly double the size; the leaves are not only larger and veined with White, but the posterior lobes go off at nearly right angles from the footstalk, or are hastate, not sagittate; the spathe 'S very large, of a yellowish pale green colour, at first erect, afterwards rolled back at the point; germens nearly glo- ular, aggregate, sessile, occupying about an inch of Sa
base of the spadix, a short distance above these isa ring of sessile anthers, occupying about a quarter of an inch, and both above these, and between them and the germens, about an equal space is occupied by filiform cirri or sterile stamens ; the upper part of the spadix is club-shaped, as in the common Arum, but always of a pale yellow colour. | ‘It was in this species that M. Lamarck observed an
extraordinary degree of heat, amounting almost to burning,
in the spadix, at a certain epoque; probably that, when
the fecundation of the germens takes place. This high tem-.
perature continues only for a few hours, and when several spadices come from the same root, the heat is evolved from each, in succession, as they arrive at the proper epoque, while the rest remain at the same temperature as the sur- rounding atmosphere. This observation is said to have _ been confirmed by DesFonTaInEs. Peete
We are not informed, however that the fact was proved by the thermometer ; and, if not, itis possible that some pungent vapour might occasion the sensation of heat in the fingers, without cabs increasing the temperature of the
surrounding air. We hope some of our readers may be .
induced to attend to this curios phenomenon. A hardy, perennial. Native of Italy and Spain, and the south of France. Communicated by Joun Waxxer, Esq.

Rite,
Mr. Rorert Brown, in his invaluable Prodromus, p. 478, has observed, that Jussieu has very properly separated Ruetiia Blechum and Blechioides from Ruewtia, restoring the original name of Buecuum, first given to the genus by
t. Patrick Brown, in his history of Jamaica; but, at the Same time, this excellent botanist has remarked, that J Us- ‘kv’s Birecnum anisophyllum ought not to be joined with
genus, on account of its having very unequal calycine
_ Segments, an ovarium with two-see ed cells, a capsule with
€ segments of the dissepiment spontaneously separable, aid a different inflorescence; he consequently proposed the establishing itas a new genus, under the name of THEILEMA, but has since satisfied himself that WiLLDENOW’s » HayLopsis, though not accurately defined by him, is the
_ Same genus; this name has therefore the right of priority.
Ruenuia imbricata of Forskéhl, and some other species, latives of India and of Africa, belong to this genus; but

itself, we are not able to determine whether it belong to a species already discovered, or should be- considered as quite new. It differs from Biecuum anisifoliwm of Jussieu in having an upright, not a diffuse stem, and lax, leafy, not compact strobiliform spikes.
The seed was transmitted from Sierra Leone to the Hor- ticultural Society by their collector, Mr. Gzorer Don, and our drawing was made at their garden in March last.
Being a tropical production it must of course require to be preserved in the stove.

_ The leaves of Satvia nutans are very subject to vary ; in our plant they were undulated, somewhat sinuate, coarsely crenate, and, as seems common to the species, unequally excised at the base, one side being considerably larger and more uneven than the other; but in some cases they are so much incised, as to become variously lobed,

The common Polygala is so very variable a plant, and is found with leaves sometimes so broad and rounded at the point, that it has been frequently mistaken for our Present plant, which has been sometimes supposed to be a mere variety of P. vulgaris. But whatever difficulty there may be in finding good distinguishing characters, the taste will at once decide the species, for all the varie-
ties of vulgaris when chewed, are slightly acrid, hardly
~~
hardly any bitterness ; but the leaves of amara when chewed soon give out an intense bitter, which is very durable. We suspect therefore that Vamuant’s plant, always quoted as a synonym of amara, is only a variety of vulgaris, as he describes the taste to be mucilaginous with but little stypticity and bitterness. Besides Poryeata amara is a much smaller plant with larger radical leaves, — the stems are quite simple and erect, the flowers and seed vessels smaller. We have specimens of this species from Austria, which exactly agree in appearance with our drawing. :

curved. Stigma furnished with a glandular, two-lipped appendix.
Bererus’s accurate description of this plant leaves us no doubt but that it is his fruticosa, always quoted as a synonym of cordifolia, otherwise the definitions of Wut1- DENOW and T'HUNBERG are too imperfect alone to ascertain the species; and we do not find-any specimen of P. cordi- folia in the Banksian Herbarium.
It differs from oppositifolia by the erect, not reflexed leaves, by the flowers being larger and more collected together. The intensity of colour in this and the related species varies, especially according to the degree of light they are exposed to.
