ground, paler on the outside, reais regular, five-lobed, 
lobes emarginate, the upper ones rather shorter and rather 
more reflected than the lower, throat yellow ; dilated, tube 
inflated, a little more so on the lower than the upper side, 
clavate, longer than the calyx, nerved. Stamens five, in- 
cluded ; filaments glabrous, ascending, of unequal length, 
adhering to the tube by their somewhat dilated bases, which 
are concave in front, the two longest and the shortest at- 
tached to the lower side of the tube at its base. Anthers 
short, oblong, lobes much divaricated, bent back, and ap- 
proaching each other below, yellow ; pollen-granules minute, 
round, yellow. Piséil equal to the shorter stamens. Sétgma 
bilabiate, green, lobes blunt: Style slightly thickened up- 
wards, glabrous ; Germen ovate, green, glabrous, with a 
prominent nerve on two sides, bilocular, dissepiment tumid 
in the middle; ovules numerous, subglobular. Seeds brown, 
angled, muricated on the outer edge. 
Seeds of this plant, which is exceedingly pretty, and very 
well deserving of cultivation, were reciad by Mr. Neirr 
from Mr. Tweepir at Buenos Ayres in 1832, and the first 
specimen brought into flower in the stove at Canonmills in 
the end of September. It seemed to be about to flower 
take freely, but probably, on account of the season, all the 
“i buds dropped off excepting one, which perfected its blos- — 
_ soms and seeds. In April it flowered much more freely. It : 
strikes very readily by cuttings, and will probably thrive — 
well in a dry, light greenhouse. 
A better example than this plant cannot be wished by 
Mr. Davin Don, in confirmation of his opinion expressed Z 
in the Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, July, 1832, 
and in Sweer’s British Flower Garden, t. 172, of the generie — 
identity of Nisremperera and Perunra. | 
__ The habit of this plant is wholly that of NrereMBERGIA, — 
the flower in shape and structure precisely that of Savrr — 
GLossis integrifolia of Hooxer, Nrerempercia phenicea 8” 
Don. Graham. : 
_ Even should this interesting plant, and my S. integrifolia — 
prove not to be genuine species of Sarpieossis (with which — 
however they accord better than with any other established — 
Genus,) I can by no means consent to their being united — 
with Nreremperei, the form of whose corolla is most re-— 
markable. The stamens in our two plants are manifestly 
inequal ; there are four didynamous ones, and a fifth 
‘smaller than the rest, but antheriferous. H.
