This is the second species of this fine genus, for the intro- 
duction of which we are obliged to Mr. Lambert, by whom 
the sample for the drawing was kindly sent, from his col- 
lection at Boyton-house, where the plant flowered this 
summer. It was raised from seed from the West Indies; 
and requires to be kept in the hothouse. 
As far as we can judge from the figure of PLUMERIA 
tricolor in the Flora Peruviana, and the prototype sample 
received from M. Pavon, now included in Mr. Lambert's 
Herbarium, we should think our plant of that species. It 
is extremely difficult however to distinguish between cari- 
nata and tricolor of the above Flora, owing to the dilapi- 
dated state of the samples, as well as the pointless descrip- 
tions and indifferent figures. The flowers of both are de- 
Scribed of the same colour. The petioles of the leaves 
indeed seem throughout much longer in tricolor than in 
carinata; and it is this circumstance that has chiefly de- 
cided our opinion in regard to the present plant.
