 The prior publication of this species at the above number 

 in vol. 47, had entirely escaped our memory, and the 

 mistake was not discovered till the plates of the present 

 number were completely worked off and coloured. 



Our present [figure was drawn earlier in the morning at 

 the time the flower was fully expanded, before the petals 

 were reflexed, as happens in a few hours after. Communi- 

 cated by Mr. Anderson from the Apothecariei garden at 

 Chelsea in July 1821.
