Drawn from a plant of the Calcutta Garden, which 

 flowered this summer at Mr. ColTiirs. 



We think it may not be without use to subjoin in Eng- 

 lish the full and elaborate character in Latin by which the 

 ScitaminejK are distinguished by Mr. firown, and by which 

 they are detached from the Cannrs. 



Cabfx and Corolia supenor, tubular: thefonner the 

 shortest of the two with a shallow 3-lobed orifice; (it seems 

 doubtful whether this is to be considered an accessory or a 

 constituent part of the flower). Iamb of the corolla two- 

 fold : outer tripartite with nearly eren segments, or ^th a 

 front one different from the others, and not unfrequently 

 reversed so as to be the one at the l^k : inner tripartite, 

 unlike the outer, ^th the middle segjfent (l(dfel) inserted 

 between the outer lateral segments and often 2-3-lobed, 

 larger than its own side-segments, which are sometimes 

 diminished to the appearance of small teeth, or even quite 

 oblit^nted. Sfamen a angle one. Inserted within the edges
