The defcription of the Sparmannia in the Supplementum 

 Plant arum, is in moft refpecls very accurate ; the petals are 

 there faid to be yellow : whether the plant is fubjeft: to vary 

 in colour, or that an error has arifen from the examination 

 of dried fpecimens, we are not at pvefent able to determine. 



It was firfl: introduced to the Royal Garden at Kew, from 

 whence it has been diftributed to feveral collections about town, 

 and though at prefent a fcarce plant, will not perhaps long re- 

 main fo, being readily propagated by cuttings, if treated in the 

 fame manner as fome of the more tender Pelargoniums. 



Our figure was drawn from a fpecimen which flowered in 

 great perfection the laft month, at the Nurfery of Meffrs. 

 Whitley and Co. at Old Brompton. Except at Kew, we 

 have not heard of its having flowered elfewhere.
