From the very barren information we have received cons 
cerning this plant, we can only learn, that it grows in the 
neighbourhood of, Port-Jackfon, and that the fettlers have 
already found out how to apply it to the purpofes of Tobacco, 
It flowered in Kew Garden lait year. era 
Our drawing was taken at the Botanic Garden, Brompton, 
in May laft, where it was kept in the ftove, and in this fitua- 
tion it continued flowering in July, and had ripe feeds and — 
flowers at the fame time. 
Is eafily propagated by feeds, which fhould be fown on a 
hot-bed. << : 
In the fecond number of ‘the Jardin de Malmaifon, pointed 
out to us fince the above was prepared for the prefs, by our 
friend Mr. Kénic, there is.a very excellent figure of this 
plant, from whence we have adopted the fpecific name, al- 
though not very appropriate, the leaves being a very 4ittle 
undulate at the bafe only. The capfule is there faid to be 
two-celled; to us, both in the germen and the ripe feed-veflel, 
it appears to be one-celled, and in this refpeé different from _ 
its congeners. The cauline leaves in the feveral {pecimens that — 
_we have feen are confined to the lower part of the ftem andare — 
not properly petiolated ; but as they are narrowed towards the — 
~ bafe, fome may choofe to confider. the narrow part as the — 
_foot-fialk with the leaf decurrent down it. Is. faid.to have - 
fome relation to Nicotiana plumbaginifolia of M. DinzGR0," — 
which we have not feen.
