Tuunsereia alata, is a plant discovered by Professor 
Bogzr of the Mauritius in grassy places of Zanzibar and 
Pemba, two small islands on the eastern coast of Africa, in 
about the fifth or sixth degree of South latitude: and it was 
by the late Mr. Trxrair sent to Mr. Barctay’s collection 
at Bury Hill. Through his liberality, the buff-flowered 
variety is become general in the stoves of our collections, 
where it is greatly admired for its copious blossoms, marked 
with a deep purple-brown eye in the centre. The variety 
now figured, with a white limb to the corolla, forming a 
still greater contrast with the dark stain in the centre, is, 
we believe, much more uncommon, since we are only ac- 
quainted with it from plants given to the Glasgow Botanic 
Garden by the kindness of Mr. Lowe of the Clapton Nursery. 
It flowers during the summer and autumn months, and re- 
quires the same treatment as the buff-stained kind.
