was made in August last. At that time it had been for some 
weeks in flower, and had lost something of the beauty which 
- it possessed originally. It was still, however, a plant of no . 
ordinary ornament. 
Of course it will be a stove plant, but when we consider 
how .few stove shrubs will produce their blossoms, such a 
novelty as this is doubly welcome. 
It forms a genus of the Rutaceous order, allied to those 
American monopetalous genera, of which the Angostura 
bark tree may be taken as the type, and is in particular nearly 
akin to Monniera, a weed of tropical America, without any 
of the beauty of this plant. From Monniera it differs in the 
tube of the corolla not being curved, in its limb having but 
little irregularity, and in the disk being a regularly crenated 
cup, and not a permanent distinct two-toothed scale. It is 
the more interesting because it brings the genus Monniera 
more distinctly within the division Cusparide, with the ordi- 
nary genera of which it agrees in habit, while its organiza- 
tion agrees better with that of Monniera, the habit of which 
1s but little in accordance with the rest of the division.
