Imported from the Brazils by Messrs. Middlemist and 

 Wood in 1808, Native of Peru, where it is said to be 

 found in abundance on the hills called Amancaes or Ha- 

 manchaes, in the vicinity of Lima. The blossom, which 

 is beautiful and delightfully fragrant, is said to be used by 

 the South American females as an ornament for'Q^Ri^Tiair, 

 along with the flowers of Begonia tuherosa. 



Drawn from a plant in Mr. Griffin's hothouse at South 

 I^mbeth ; where the species is cultivated with great suc- 

 cess, and produces flowers and seeds every year.
