Both fpecies are at firft very much alike; nor does there 
appear to be that difference in their growth which the fpecific 
names would lead us to fufpeft. In general the prefent plant 
is rather more {preading, and the lower branches are more 
‘reclined, It has larger flowers, but far lefs brilliant, being 
of a paler violet colour, with a larger eye in the centre; the 
tube of the corolla is fhorter in proportion to the calyx and of 
an herbaceous colour; the peduncles are all folitary in the . 
axils of the leaves, whereas in e/ata, the terminal flowers grow 
in a fort of corymb without leaves: this difference is, however, | 
more remarkable when the plants are in feed than whilft in 
bloffom. The whole-plant, but efpecially towards the upper 
part, is more hairy in demiffa, and the leaves more rounded at 
the bafe, frequently even cordate. The feeds in the latter are 
alfo of a paler brown colour, and the fruit, which varies much 
in fize, generally larger. 
We were favoured with both fpecies, that we might have 
the better opportunity of comparing them at different {tages of 
their growth, by Mr. Anpexson, Botanic Gardener to J mes 
Vere, Efg. who'e colleétion he manages with fuperior {kill 
and more {cientific knowledge than is often met with. : 
_ Flowers in July, Auguft, and September, at the fame time 
with B. elata, and requires.a fimilar treatment. 
Although both the Browallias have been before figured, yet 
none of the reprefentations are fufficiently charaéteriftical.
