The Macnouia fufcata is nearly allied to the pumila 
(No. 997) and is. like it cultivated in China, both on account 
of its beauty and fragrance. Is readily diftinguifhed from the 
latter by its ere€t peduncles, which, as well as the calyx and — 
neighbouring part of the ftem, are clothed with a brown glan- 
dular pubefcence. = ee 
From its habit, it appears to be a fhrub of humble grow b, 
and, on that account, the better adapted to* ornament 
houfes. Is naturally deciduous, but in the ftove bee 
ever-green. It is however by no means tender, and at 
requires only the proteétion of a greenhoufe. ee 
Mr. Sauispury confiders his MacnoLra annonafolia 
diftin@ fpecies, but for this we can fee no reafon; the 
men figured in the Paradifus Londinenfis appears to have De" 
far lefs vigorous than that from which our drawing was taken, 
and the colour of the flowers varies much in intenfity, 17 if 
portion as the plant is more or lefs expofed to the influence s 
the light. Our drawing was made at the colletion of Mr. Hix 
pert, of Clapham. Flowers from June to September, an 
kept in the ftove, more early in the {pring. Is propagat 
cuttings. Introduced to this country from China, by 
p at 
Evans, of the India-Houfe, in whofe valuable colleétio 
Stepney it firft bloomed in 1802,
