ward of the botanist; but we can by no means approve 

 of altering the specific name, which, when once established, 

 should remain inviolate, except for very particular reasons; 

 we have therefore thought it right to restore the name of 

 bubalina. 



Burchellia bubalina is a native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope, where it is called BufFelhorn or Buffaloe-Horn, a 

 name given it by the colonists from the extreme hardness 

 of its wood. 



Flowers in the spring or summer. Requires to be pro- 

 tected from frost and we believe has seldom blossomed in 

 this country without the assistance of the heat of the stove.
