Mr. Adam Buddle, in honour of whom the prefent genus 

 has been originally named by Dr. Houston, was an mgeni- 

 ous Englifh Botanift, cotemporary with, and the friend 01 

 Petiver; his name is often mentioned in the Synop/s ^ 

 Mr. Ray and his Hortus Siccus, or dried collection of Briti" 1 

 plants, preferved in the Britiih Mufeum, Hill reforted to in 

 doubtful cafes. 



The prefent fpecies not enumerated either by Linnaeus or 

 Miller, is a native of Chili, and according to the Hort. &&• 

 was introduced by MefTrs. Kennedy and Lee, in 1774- 



It has been cuftomary, in confideration of its native pia c ^ 

 of growth, to treat it here as a green-houfe plant, for whic 

 fituation it foon becomes unfit from its magnitude; fome have 

 ventured to plant it in the open borders in warm ftieltere 

 fituations, where it has been found to fucceed very well, pr°" 

 ducing its beautiful yellow bloffoms in abundance ; care mu 

 be taken, however, to guard it carefully from fevere frouS> 

 which are apt to deftroy it. , 



It flowers in May and June, and is ufually propagated t 

 cuttings or layers.
