The specimen above described has flowered in April, and 
will continue to produce flowers during May, at Comley 
Bank, near Edinburgh, # the greenhouse of Mr. Cunnine- 
HAM, Whose very extensive Solfention has within these few 
months been distinguished by exhibiting in flower, for the 
first time in this country, several of the greatest ornaments 
of our gardens. Among them may be reckoned Dory- 
ANTHES excelsa, RuopopENDRON arboreum, and the subject 
of the present article. This was procured by Mr. Cun- 
nincHAM from Mr. Lee of Hammersmith, by whom it was 
raised in 1824, from New Holland seeds. Granam MSS.
