We have not at hand the book in which this Passion 



i nave not at uauu mc ^v,~ ... - # j„ ^;ko,1 



has been published ; but we beheve .t is tombed 



and figured in the work of Messrs. Link and Otto upon ^ the 



pew plants of the Berlin Garden. It was. from tbatem- 

 bhshment that it was brought to the Hort.cultural Society 

 by Mr. Bentham, in the autumn of 1831 ; and it has been 



almost ever since in flower. 





It is beyond all comparison the most beautiful i species
