We have little doubt but that this is the /eptopetalus defcribed 
by Wittpenow, (in his Enumeration of the Plants of the 
Berlin Garden,) who obferves, that it differs from pomeridianus, 
which has the calycine fcales broader ; the tube of the calyx 
evidently ftriate at the upper part only ; a {tem bearing four or 
_ five flowers, which in our plant has only two or three ;_ petals 
emarginate, not pointed as in this; and, laftly, leaves much 
broader. | 
The figure of Drantuus pomeridianus in the Paradifus 
Londinenfis, though in fome refpetts different, we fufpeét be- 
longs to our prefent plant. Perhaps it is the male of the fame 
{pecies of which ours is the female ; for that has no appearance 
of ftigma, as ours had no perfeét ftamens. ;
