We have given up so much space to the endeavour to clear 
up some of the difficulties attending the study of the genus 
BLlandfordia, that it is scarcely necessary to enter into any length-— 
ened descriptive matter on this particular species. The leaves 
are long and slender, very slightly rough to the touch on the 
edges and keel. The flowers, when living, are almost exactly 
campanulate, and the stamens are longer than in another species - 
we know, a little exserted, and arising from the edge of the 
very small contracted portion of the tube near the base. The 
ripe fruit is remarkably acuminated. Dr. Mackay’s finest spe- _ 
cimen had the flower-stalk three feet and a half high, and in all 
had fifteen flowers upon it: it should be treated as a greenhouse © 
plant.
