Our drawing aa undefcribed fpecies of Cosmea was 
taken at the garden of the Right Hon. Lord Hotianp, in 
November 1812. His Lordthip, we were informed, brought — 
the feeds with him from the Botanic Garden at Madrid, under _ 
the name which we have adopted. A native of Mexico. A 
tender annual, requiring to be forced early in the fpring to 
bring it into flower foon enough to mature its feeds before the | 
winter; for want of which, it is probably already loft to this 
country. ma ee be #
