beftowed that name on a different plant; for this and other 
reafons*, Dr. Orteca, ina new work of his above referred 
to, has changed the term Uferia to that of Maurandya; 
and, though we cannot cordially coincide with the Doétor in 
the propriety either of his generic or trivial name, we have 
adopted them. ae J : 
This climber rifes with a fhrubby ftalk to the height of 
many feet, is very prolific in branches, and produces flowers 
abundantly from July to September, which are fucceeded by 
ripe feed-veflels and feeds.—As the plant is eafily propagated 
by cuttings, as well as by feeds, it will foon become common 
to our greenhoufes, though it is rather better fuited to the 
confervatory; if its blofloms, which have a great affinity to 
thofe of the Foxglove, had more colour in them, the plant 
would be more defirable: at fome future period fuch may 
probably be obtained from feeds.
