We have the pleasure of figuring, from the rich collection of 
Messrs. Lucombe, Pince and Co., of the Exeter Nursery, what we 
consider the true Orelia grandiflora of Aublet, which has been con- 
founded with the AV/amanda cathartica of Linneus, and which, 
as has been remarked under our Tas. 4851, Dr. Pohl distin- 
guished by the name of Audletii. M. Alphonse De Candolle, 
it is true, has again united them, but surely incorrectly. ‘The 
nearest affinity of this is, doubtless, with 4. Schofti, especially 
that variety of it figured at our Tas. 4851. But when seen 
growing together, the whole habit, foliage, and inflorescence are 
very different. Our present species has shorter leaves, broader — 
above the middle, more copious flowers on the leafless panicle, 
of a larger size though paler colour, with a wider throat to the 
corolla and more acute lobes to-the limb.—It is a stove plant, | 
and though too weak to support itself, it cannot be called a 
climber. It was introduced by seeds from Brazil, and raised by 
Mr. Stanton (who has pointed out its distinguishing characters,) 
at the same time with 4. PoA/ii; and flowers during the summer — 
months.
