The genos Ponthieva was established by Mr. Broira, m 

 the second edition of the Hortus Kewen^, upon the JVeo^ 

 fib gUmdulosa of the Botanical Magazine ; a singular plant, 

 which we fear is now lost to our gardens. Wth NEorriA 

 it has little in common, besides the peculiar characters of 

 the section of the order in which it is included. 



For the new species which we are now enabled to add 

 to the genus, we are indebted to the Horticultural Society, 

 in whose garden at Chiswick our drawing was made in 

 August last. The plant bad been recently brought to that 

 establishment, with many other interesting plants, from 

 the island of St. Vincent, by Mr. James M«Kae ; and we 

 understand it is expected that among them is at least one 

 other species of the same genus.
