Specific Character. 
Evrnorsia Bojeri ; fruticosa spinosa, foliis numerosis coria- 
ceis patentissimis obovato-oblongis retusis cum mu- 
crone basi utrinque spina valida patente, pedunculis 
axillaribus cymosis dichotomis, bracteis duabus semi-

A most beautiful plant, and better meriting the name of 
splendens than its near ally so called, which is represented at 
t. 2902, and which was, equally with the present, introduced

indefatigable exertions of Professor Boser. It seems to be 
a plant of humbler growth than E. splendens ; it has fewer 
spines, more coriaceous, more obovate and retuse leaves, 
richer-coloured bracteas, and simple filaments. It flowers 
in the stove of the Glasgow Botanic Garden, in the latter 
end of winter, and in early spring; and more or less through 
the greater part of the year. 
Descr. Stem woody, obtusely and irregularly angular, 
smooth, and of a pale gray colour. Leaves spreading, dark 
‘green, coriaceous, on short petioles, obovato-oblong, retuse 
with a mucro, quite entire. Each leaf is situated between 
two
