We have chosen a small-sized plant of the Priwura 
Palinuri as best suited to the size of our page. In some of 
the individuals cultivated by Mr. Murray in the Glasgow 
Botanic Garden, the foliage is thrice the size of that here 
represented, and has a most striking resemblance, as Pro- 
fessor Leumann has well observed, to that of a luxuriant 
Plant of Semrervivum arboreum. This circumstance, to- 
Sether with the bright yellow corollas, almost pure white, 
Mealy calyces, pedicel, aud involucre, and the season of its 
lossoming (March) render it a most desirable acquisition. 
The fra rance too, similar to that of the Cowslip, but more 
Powerful, is another recommendation. It is a native of 
alinuri near Salerno, in the Neapolitan dominions ; and in 
the more Southern parts of Britain it appears that it may be 
Cultivated in the open border. D
