respect (o either than they arc to one another. This part 

 in our plant consisted of five strap-like laciniae, quite entire 

 nearly half-way up, and then uniformly divided into a filiform 

 fringe. 



The double variety given above (No. 1799) from the 

 breadth of its leaves and more robust habit, is supposed by 

 many to belong to the European plant; but its history points 

 out an Indian origin, and there can be no doubt of its being 

 the same as the Tsjovanna-Areli of the Hortus Malabaricus*. 



The flowers of our plant were delightfully fragrant, more 

 so than we have observed in any other variety. 



Perhaps we ought rather to have considered this as variety 

 m. of Nerium odorum, which is said to vary in the colour of 

 its flowers, but on account of the remarkable corona, we 

 have preferred giving it as a distinct variety : but it remains 

 to be examined whether this part is constant in the different 

 varieties or species. 



Communicated by Mr. William Kent, of Clapton, who 

 raised it from cuttings brought to him by a friend from 

 Paris, 



* Tn the account of the two first species of Nerium, in Willdenow's 

 edition of the Species Plantarum, there are two error?, one of which has 

 been followed by most succeeding writers. The note to the first species, 

 Nerium oleander, belongs to variety (3 of the second. Tab. 1. and 2. of the 

 'Jth volume of the Hortus Malabaricus are misquoted ; tab. 1. belongs t« 

 variety £, tab. % to the single variety.
