We find no traces of this very rare plant in any book or 

 herbarium within our reach, but have no doubt that it flowered 

 laft Summer at Mr. Hibbert's for the fir ft time in -Europe; 

 it had been fent him from the Cape two years before by a 

 collector that he employed there, along with the largeft col- 

 lection of this natural- tribe, except perhaps that which vwas 

 procured for the imperial garden at Schcenbrunn fome years 

 ago, of which fo many have been recorded in the coftly works 

 of Jacquin; and of which unfortunately fo many are ftill 

 ftrangers to our gardens. 



Mr. Hibbert has lately detected one of the fpecies of 

 Witsenia in his garden, raifed from feeds, and moft pro- 

 bably the only one that ever vegetated this fide the Cape. 

 Till it flowers, which precife fpecies it may be, we cannot fay j 

 we know of but four. It is an interefting genus, and feems 

 to us to bear the fame relation to the Enfat<e with regard to its 

 ihrubby or arborefcent character, that fome of the Palms do 

 to the Liliacea or Hexandrous portion of the vegetable king-
