This is another South American Verbena of the “ Melin- 
dres” group, for the discovery of which we are indebted to 
Mr. T'weep1e, who sent the seeds to G. F. Dickson, Esq., 
of Everton, near Liverpool, by whom they were raised in 
1836. Mr. Sxirvine, of the extensive nursery of Liverpool, 
transmitted the specimens now represented. Mr. T'werepre’s — 
specimens corresponding to the figure here given, are ga- 
thered at Santa Fée, in dry pastures in Porto Alegro Bay 
(Nos. 504 and 505), and on the shores of the Panama (No. 
460). It flowered in the greenhouse, in July (1837), and 
is extremely handsome, the blossoms of a deep red rose-_ 
colour, with a yellow eye, and becoming ee inage. It 
will rank next to V. Tweediana, from whic 
it differs inthe 
broad and depressed (not spiked) corymbs, in the broader ee 
leaves —
