present name, he called Candollea ; but afterwards he took 

 up the notion that the stigma was not at the upper extremity 

 of the column but at its base. M. Richard with as little 

 probability considered the fifth lacinia of the corolla, the 

 Labellum of Brown, as the true stigma ; and Jussieu in the 

 18th volume of the Annates, even after the publication of 

 Brown's Prodromus, has adopted the opinion of Bichard, 

 which, in the Linnaean system, would remove the genus 

 from the class Gynandria to Monadelphia. But the English 

 botanists still agree in considering the stigma to be placed 

 at the upper extremity of the column, where it is partly 

 covered by the anthers, and only becomes truly developed 

 after the bursting of these organs. 



The plant from which our drawing was made was com- 

 municated by Mr. Joseph Knight of the Exotic Nursery in 

 the King's Boad, where only we haveas yet seen it. It is 

 not recorded in the Hortus Kewensis, nor in Sweet's more 

 extensive list, the Hortus Suburbanus.
