A species, іп as far as we сап discover, now first intro- 
duced from the Cape of Good Hope by Messrs. Lee and 
Kennedy, of the Hammersmith nursery, where the drawing 
was made in July. We have never met with it in any 
Herbarium except in that of Mr. Burchell. It seems to 
have entirely escaped the late Mr. Masson during his long 
and extensive search at the Cape in quest of plants. Ina 
tract on the Ensate, published some years ago in the Annals 
of Botany, we had purposely omitted this species, along 
with 3 other closely kindred ones, in the enumeration of 
that genus; and the inspection of the present plant satisfies 
us that we were right inso doing. These species are branches 
of the type of Marica and not of that of Mona. 
In Monza and Irıs the stamens are opposite to the space 
‘between the stigmas, when these are petalshaped, or in- 
serted between the segments into which these are cleft, 
when not petalshaped. But in Marica the stamens are 
opposite to the angles formed by the connivent edges of 
the stigmas, when these are petalshaped, or are iuserted 
between them when they are not petalshaped ; in short, the 
stamens are alternate with the stigmas іп Marita, but op- 
posite to them in Мокжа and Inm. Differences that are 
accompanied by others in the habit of the respective plants. 
We do not know how it has happened, but there are 
certain species of the Exsarz, with showy bloom and of 
curious structure, common in the neighbourhood of the 
town at the Cape of Good Hope, which do not appear ever 
to have been introduced into any European garden, or at 
least not to have flowered there; such as Marica spathacea, 
one so abundant in its native land as frequently to embar- 
rass the way of the traveller by its long tough entangled 
foliage; ANTHOLYZA lucidor, Sparaxıs pendula, Monza plu- 
„тата, and others. Baniawa ringens, the most curious and 
splendid flower of the tribe at the Cape, does not appear
