480 SOLANACE/E. XXXV. Norana. 
stems procumbent ; leaves crowded, linear, with revolute mar- 
gins; calyx ventricose, ovate, with lanceolate segments. ©. 
H. Native of Peru, in sandy places. Stems white, angular. 
Leaves sessile, twin, unequal in size, white beneath, obtuse. 
Peduncles very short. Corolla bluish-violet, thrice as long as 
the calyx. 
Revolute-leaved Nolana. Pl. procumbent. 
Cult. All the species of Nolàna are showy when in blossom, 
much like those of some trailing species of Convólvulus, and are, 
therefore, well adapted for decorating flower borders. The 
seeds should be sown on a gentle hot-bed in spring; and the 
plants, when of sufficient size, or about the middle of May, 
should be finally transplanted to the open ground, where they 
will flower and ripen seed ; or the seeds may be sown at once 
in the open border, in a warm sheltered situation.

nulate, irregular; throat dilated into a short, ventricose, sub- 
bilabiate, plicate limb, which is longer than the calyx ; segments 
unequal: 2 superior ones sub-reflexed. Stamens 5; filaments 
very short, joined at the base by a 5-toothed, epipetalous 
membrane, which surrounds the ovarium. Anthers sagittate,

2 T. 1nopdra (Cav. diss. 2. append. 3.) leaves ovate-lanceo- 
late, quite entire, glabrous, hardly decurrent. (2. H. Native 
of Spain, along with the preceding. The whole plant is gla- 
brous. The flowers are prettier than those of the preceding ; 
the tube of the corolla is shorter; the throat and rays pale 
violet; the limb cream-coloured ; the lobes neither acuminated 
nor emarginate ; the urceolus is larger, and almost wholly hides 
the ovarium.

a short, funnel-shaped tube, and a 5-parted limb; segments of

zestivation, the fifth external, with the margins covering the 
edges of those near it. Genitals exserted. Stamens 5, equal ;

cells 1-ovulate. ^ Drupe propped by the permanent caly.., 
bose, containing 2 2-celled, 2-seeded, woody putamens. En, 
bryo hamately curved, cylindrical—A shrub, with the habit of 
the genuine species of Lycium, much branched, furnished with 
axillary spines. Leaves scattered, quite entire. Flowers from 
fascicles of leaves, or evolute branchlets, or sub-corymbose 
from the tops of the branchlets, hence they appear as if they 
were disposed in terminal panicles.

collected by Sello, but has been introduced from Peru into the 
gardens of this country.  Lycium borhaavizefolium, Lin. suppl,

Stigma green. Nuts form of those of Cofféa Ardbica, convex 
on one side, marked by a slender furrow in the middle, obtuse 
at top, and perforated by 2 roundish holes at the base; 
hence it is tridentate, the first tooth from the middle of the 
back, the other 2 from the sides, sometimes, but only by abor- 
tion, 1-celled. Albumen copious, fleshy.

Shrub 6 to 10 feet. 
Cult. This singular shrub is of the most easy culture and 
propagation. A light rich earth suits it best; and cuttings 
strike root readily under a hand-glass.
