Pentanpria Monoeynia. 
Generic Character. 
Cor. hypocrateriformis. Filam. inequalia. Stigma trifi- 
dum. Cal. prismaticus. Caps. 3-locularis, 1-sperma. 
Specific Character. 
PuLox carnea ; caule erecto tereti, foliis lanceolatis glabris 
semiamplexicaulibus, calyce marginato, tubo corolle 
bis limbo longiore. 
Descr. Stem erect, two or three feet high, rounded, 
smooth, except here and there a narrow scabrous line. Leaves 
lanceolate, spreading horizontally, distant. Flowers in a lax 
ierminal corymb, pale rose colour streaked with a deeper red, 
sweet scented. Calycine teeth nearly the length of the tube, 
subulate with a white membranaceous margin, the colour of 
which is extended along the whole calyx in stripes. T'ube of 
ithe Corolla somewhat incurved, nearly twice the length of 
the limb : lacinie wedge-shaped, very obtuse, one of them 
frequently deficient. 
It seems to have a near affinity with Putox suaveolens, and 
as that species is said by Nurraut never to have been found 
ey in America, it may possibly have been the offspring 
of this. 
_ A hardy perennial. Native of North America. Flowers 
in August and September. Our drawing was taken from @ 
specimen communicated by N. S. Hopson, Esq. of Bury — 
St. Edmunds, who purchased it at Frasgr’s Sale. A spe- 
cimen of the same plant was communicated two or three 
years ago by Mr. Jonn Fraser, as a new species lately 
imported from America.
