The genus Burchellia was constituted by Mr. Brown, 
in a former volume of this work, upon the Lonicera buhalina 
of Linnaeus. At that time one species only had been 
observed. The present was communicated to us by 
Messrs. Whitley and Co. of the Fulham Nursery, in March 
last. It may be distinguished from the original species by 
its small flowers and differently shaped leaves, which are 
not hispid, but nearly destitute of pubescence, except 
upon their nerves. It is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope, and is to be preserved in a good greenhouse. 
A low bush in this country, with somewhat square 
downy branches, which at the joints inside the stipules 
are surrounded by a rim of dense hairs. The kavts are 
stalked, oval-lanceolate, somewhat cordate at base, about 
4 inches long, and from an inch to an inch and quarter 
broad, nearly smooth above, with the middle nerve pilose, 
beneath covered like the petiole with a few stiff hairs. 
lUfmen tenninal, sessile in a head, from 6 to 8 in number.
