The former drawing of this fpecies having been made from a 

 far lefs perfect fpecimen, than that from which the one now 

 given has been taken, we have thought it ufeful to offer it in the 

 prefent fhape. We had already, in a note added to the article 

 of No. 1324, amended the fynonymy, and corrected the error 

 we, as well as others, had been led into by Jacquin, in regard 

 to the fpontaneous abode, which is Virginia and not the Cape of 

 Good Hope. We have met with it in feveral of the gardens in 

 the neighbourhood of London, where it has been treated as an 

 out-doors plant, and feems to be perfectly hardy. We refer to 

 the note in No. 1324, and to the article in No. 1035, f° r further 

 account of the fpecies. G.
