BRUGMANSIA eximia. Hort. 
We are indebted to the Messrs. Henderson, of Pine-apple 
Place Nursery, for this remarkable plant, which they received 
from the Continent under the name of Brugmansia eximia. In 
its foliage it presented nothing of the appearance of a Brag- 
mansia, or of any of the arborescent species of Datura; and our 
astonishment was great when it produced the flower here répre- 
sented, in the summer of 1858, to see a corolla having a good 
deal the form of, and excelling in size any, Datura or Brugmansia, 
yet with a calyx of a very different character, and much more like 
that of a Juanulloa, which the foliage and general habit of the 
shrub also a good deal resemble: it is also very different from 
any described Solandra, save that it has singularly green flowers 
like Solandra viridifiora. May it not be a hybrid? But if so, 
we cannot guess what are the respective parents. It is to be 
lamented that such a noble-sized corolla should have no brilliant 
colour to recommend it.
