fome of the fynonyms applied to Convolvulus panduraius 

 of Linn.eus do not really belong to this fpecies. From the 

 one figured by Dillenius, however, which is always referred 

 to panduraius, our plant appears to be fufficiently diftinct in all 

 the above-mentioned characters ; having many more flowers on 

 one peduncle, and being quite fmooth in every part, except a 

 very minute tomentum on the underfide of the leaves. It ap- 

 pears too to be a much larger plant than panduratus, and the 

 bloffoms exceed in fize thofe of every other fpecies that we 

 have feen. This fpecies feems to have a very near affinity with 

 Convolvulus Jalapa (No. 1572) and is perhaps the fame as 

 that defcribed under this name in the fixth edition of Miller's 

 Dictionary. - 



We are indebted to the Honourable Mr. Herbert, for 

 the opportunity of prcfcnting our readers with a reprefentation 

 of this beautiful plant, from whom we learn that it has a large 

 tuberous root, and is probably fufficiently hardy to bear our 

 winters without protection j but our fummers are fcarcely 

 warm enough to make it bloffom well. The fpecimen from 

 which our drawing was made was aided by artificial heat in the 

 fpring, and it was obferved that the flowers in the latter part of 

 the fummer were not nearly fo large and fhewy as thofe pro- 

 duced in the warm funny weather. For the confervatory, 

 Mr. Herbert obierves, it is a magnificent plant, growing 

 about fifteen feet high, and flowering abundantly mod part of 

 the fummer. It produced no feeds, but may be propagated by 

 cuttings of the root. 



In the Bankfian Herbarium, we find a very good fpecimen 

 of our plant which flowered at Kew, in the year 1776; at 

 which time it was defcribed, and named by Dr. Solan der ; 

 but has not been taken up in either edition of the Hortus 

 Kewenfis.
