tinged with red. Flowers very fragrant, large, white, termi- 
nal, few upon each branch in our plant, but forming a 
corymb in native specimens. Peduncles very short, with 
large bractee or small floral leaves at the base, reddish. 
Calyx large, foliaceous, of five, broad, ovate, waved, patent, 
obtuse, coloured pieces. Corolla very large, cream-coloured, 
bell-shaped, of a somewhat leathery texture, the tube faintly 
striated, the limd five-cleft, the segments rounded, acumi- 
nulate, spreading, somewhat oblique. Stamens about as 
long as the tube. Filaments thickened upwards, pale 
green. Anthers sagittate, white with a brown margin, 
combined over the stigma. Style remarkably thickened, 
yellow and club-shaped at the extremity, and tipped with 
two points, the bifid, dark green stzgma. 
Mr. Marnock was so obliging as to send the accompany- 
ing specimen from the great stove or dome conservatory of 
the noble gardens at Bretton Hall, in May, 1832, and under 
the name of Beaumontia longifolia. But on comparing it 
with the original B. grandiflora, cultivated in the same 
stove, Mr. Marnocx could discover no other difference than 
the larger size of the leaves of the plant, and its readily 
flowering, while the other never could be made to blossom. 
I have, too, the authority of Dr. Watxicn for saying that 
this is the B. grandiflora, and that no other species 1s 
known to exist. 
_ This truly superb plant, in its flowers and foliage not — 
inaptly resembling Datura arborea, and equally fragrant, 
was introduced by Dr. Waxtice in 1818, from mountain- 
woods in Eastern Bengal, where it grows at Chittagong 
and Sylhet: as it does, also, at Noakote in Nepaul.
