plant to you in England; planted in the open borders in June, 
you may expect it to flower finely during the months of August, 
September, and October. Here it stands the winter, being al- 
most deciduous. I never saw it when in England. It is worth 
your growing, being a free bloomer.”’ There is no reason what- 
ever for supposing the species to be a native of Australia: on 
the contrary, it is more likely seeds were sent from Europe to 
Adelaide, where it would naturally be more hardy than with us. 
Our plant is evidently arborescent, and of the Brugmansia 
group. It cannot be the true D. arborea of Linneus, which ’ 
has quite entire as well as downy leaves; nor the D. ardorea of 
our gardens (D. Gardueri, Hook. in Bot. Mag. sub t. 4252); 
nor the D. arborea of Ruiz and Pavon, t. 128, which is more 
like our D. cornigera, Bot. Mag. t. 4252, but is widely different. 
The leaves of D. chlorantha accord in shape with our D. corni- 
gera; but they are quite glabrous, and the calyx is widely dif- 
ferent, as is the colour of the corolla. These differences are 
best seen by a reference to the respective figures. It need 
hardly be said that it has nothing to do with the D. sanguinea 
of Ruiz and Pavon.
