By the kind affiftance of Mr. Dryanpver, we have affured 
ourfelves of this being Tuunserc’s f{pecies, notwithftanding 
the very flender account of it, and an erroneous obfervation © 
of the younger Linnaus “ that the flower is white:” a guefs 
moft probably formed.from the dried plant, the corolla of | 
which he fuppofed to have merely turned yellow in drying, as 
is moft ufual with white flowers when fo treated. Named 
ovata from the two outer leaves, which are fhorter and broader 
in fome {pecimens than in the prefent, and may then be pro- 
perly enough termed “ lanceolately ovate.” 
The whole plant is fcentlefs. Blooms in February. Should 
be kept in the greenhoufe. 
Our drawing was made from the colle&ion of Meffrs. Ken- 
Nepy and Lez, Hammerfmith, where moft likely it has now 
made its firft appearance in Europe. From the above garden 
we hope for many new and rare African vegetables, it being 
frequently fupplied by a perfon employed by the proprietors, 
at the Cape of Good Hope, for that purpofe. G,
