style, very little larger than the glands of the nectary, but 
not, like them, persistent. Nectaries five glandular bodies 
surrounding the style and alternating with the filaments, per- 
sistent. Germen inferior, one-celled, with two lateral branched 
receptacles : style longer than stamens, stigma capitate, com-

This very valuable acquisition to our stoves, is a native of 
Brazil, of late introduction, but already to be found in most 
of the large collections about town. We received it first 
from Messrs. Barr and Brookes, Newington-Green, but not 
in a perfect state. Our drawing was taken from a plant 
communicated by Messrs. Wuirtey, Brame, and Minne, of 
the Fulham Nursery. It does not appear to be very tender, 
and, perhaps, may hereafter be found to do in the green- 
house.
