Of this vegetable we can find no traces in any author known | 
to us; nor do we know of any conftituted genus under which it | 
can be arranged. In habit it feems to us to come neareft to 
Trritanps1a and Pitcarrania. Mr. Sarissury, of the 
Botanic Garden, Brompton, informs us, that it was received 
fome years ago by Mr. Fairsairn from the Weft-Indies, — 
and cultivated by him in the Phyfic Garden, Chelfea. Re- | 
quires to be kept in the hot-houfe, where it flowers and feeds 
plentifully during the fummer months ; quite fcentlefs. 
There is a fpecimen without flowers in the Bankfian Her- — 
barium, from Jamaica, infcribed Ti1tLanpsta flexuo/a, which 
we fufpeét to be our plant; but if fo, certainly not the one 
to which that name belongs. G.
