Our drawing of this species of Lisianthus was made at 
Mr. Lee's Nursery in August last. It is a pretty half- 
sbrabby stove plant, producing its bright yellow- flowers 
in abundance, and easily propagated by cuttings. 
Said to have been introduced from Jamaica, in 1793; 
but not often seen & collections in th^. country. The 
specific name has not beeil^ very happily applied.
