P. subumbellata. Hooker in bot. mag. t. 3254. 



At first sight this would hardly be considered the same 

 as the plant figured in the Botanical Magazine ; but upon a 

 careful comparison of the specimen we have from Mr. Lowe 

 and Dr. " • . . j * * - 



Hooker's description, we have arrived at the 

 that what we now publish differs only in its 



con- 



clusion, that what we now publish differs only 

 vi gour and health. The principal differences consist m tuc 

 J arger flowers and spreading leaves of V . subumbellata ; but 

 these characters are in all probability owing to the cause 

 above stated. The bracteee of this plant are setaceous and 

 remarkably feathered with white hairs ; but they are so 

 Sfl ort as to be easily overlooked. N 



T A hardy greenhouse plant, native of Van Omen's 

 Land. Our drawing was made in Mr. Lowe s Nursery, in
