We have been furnished with the sample of this rare 
plant through the kindness of Mr. Lambert; who has culti- 
vated it for several years in his hothouse at Boyton, in 
Wiltshire, where it was introduced from Jamaica; most 
probably from some garden. It is a very different species 
from the PLumsrria alba of Linnaeus, which belongs to that 
Island. There the leaves are very narrow in proportion 
to their length; long-pointed, and revolute at the margins. 
As far as we can judge from the description and figure, we 
have scarcely a doubt that our plant is the PLumERIA bicolor 
of the “ Flora Peruviana,” as well as the plant intended 
by Messrs. Humboldt and Bonpland in the place we have 
quoted above. Not having seen the sample while fresb,
