Of this genus there arc only two fpccies, both natives of 
South- America, the elaia t fo called from its being a much 
taller plant than the Jemi/a t is a very beautiful, and not un- 
common flovc or green-houfe plant ; it is impofiible, by any 
colours we have, to do juflicc to the hrilliancy of its flowers. 
Being an annual, it requires to be raifed yearly from feed, 
which mull be Town on a hot-bed in the fpring, and the plants 
brought forward on another, otherwife they will not perfed 
their feeds in this country. Some of thefe may be tranfplanted 
into the borders of the flower-garden which arc warmly fit* 1 " 
ated, where, if the Tcafon prove favourable, they will flower 
and ripen their feeds ; but, for fccurity’s fake, it will be pru- 
dent to keep a few plants in the ftove or green-houfe. 
As thefe plants have not been diftinguifhetj by any parti- 
cular Englilh name, Mill£R very properly ufes its Latin 
one 1 a practice which (hould as much as poffiblc be adhered 
tu, where a genus is named in honour of a Botanift of 
eminence.
