All that has hitherto been known of this species of Bup- 
DLEA, is from the figure:and description of Ruiz and Pavon, 
who found it an inhabitant of the province of Chancay. 
The seeds from which our plants were raised, were sent 
to the Glasgow Botanic Garden from Valparaiso, by A. 
Cruicxsnanks, Esq. It forms a handsome greenhouse 
shrub, flowering in the beginning of May, and remarkable 
for its curiously connate foliage. _ | 
Ruiz and Payon’s figure, indeed, differs slightly from 
ours, in the crenated, not serrated margin of the leaves, and 
in those crenatures extending down to the auriculated base. 
In the older leaves these auricles become obsolete.
