From New-Holland. Although now common in our green- _ 
houfes, it has fo happened that we have miffed every oppor- - 
tunity of examining the bloom. From a diffe€tion of the 
mens, given in the above cited plate of the Botanift’s Repo- 
fitory, the anthers appear to us to be three and bilocular ; one 
on each alternate filament, and not, as defcribed in the Linnean 
Tranfa&tions, two on each fertile filament. Our view of thefe 
Parts has, befides the appearance we have mentioned, the 
nttion of analogy, as well as the opinion of a very accom 
Plithed Botanift, who has repeatedly examined them in {peci- 
Mens colle&ted by himfelf in their native regions. OF ea 
culture, and blooms freely. G.
