A shrubby plant, reguiring exaetly the same treatment 
as the Brugmansia arborea, growing vigorously in the open 
air in this climate during summer, but reguiring protection 
in winter. 
It is on many accounts one of the most interesting plants 
that have been yet brought from South America, for which 
the public is indebted to Charles Crawley, Esg., who brought 
it with him from Guayaquil in 1833. It was originally raised 
in the garden of Miss Traill, and also by Lady Gibbs, of 
Hayes Common near Bromley, by whom we were favoured 
with the specimen now represented, and the sight ofa beau- 
tiful drawing of the flowers in the two conditions of colour. 
In the Flora Peruviana, and the systematic work of Baron 
Humboldt it is fully described ; from their statements and 
the materials we have received from Lady Gibbs, we are 
enabled to draw up the following statement. 
* So named in compliment to Brügmans, a Professor of Natural History and 
Botany at Leyden, who occupied himself with vegetable chemistry, and who is 
said to have been the first to notice the secretions of plants by their roots,
