fegments of the corolla. Thefe procefTes in the prefent 

 fpecies have been raifed by Thunberg to the dignity of 

 Ne£Iarie<i ; but fince, in other nearly allied ones, we have 

 frequently found them in one corolla, while in others on the 

 fame ftem none were to be found ; and fince the fame root pro- 

 duced in other years flowers, all of which were deftitute of 

 them; and fince Jacquin allures us, that there were no 

 traces of them in his fpecimens of this fame fpecies, we 

 adhere to our former opinion of their nature ; holding them 

 to be mere accidental excrefcences, and not effential organs 

 with Thunberg. They vary in fize and form even in the 

 fame flower. We lolt the opportunity of examining the 

 prefent fpecimen, and have trufted to the figures of our 

 draughtfman and others above cited for our fpecific dis- 

 tinctions. Differs from trkufpts, No. 168 (which by Mr. 

 Curtis was, and by mod gardeners ftill is, miftaken for it) 

 in the form and dimenfions of the ftigmas, in having the inner 

 fegments of the corolla entire and lanceolate, as well as by its 

 puhefcent leaves and ftem. Native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope. 



Our drawing was made this fummer from a plant that 

 flowered in the greenhoufe of Meffrs. Lee and Kennedy, 

 at Hammerfmith. G.
