It is entirely on the authority of Pavon’s specimen now 
in the Lambertian Herbarium, that the synonym from 
the Flora Peruviana is added, for the figure cited from 
that work is so incorrect, especially from the addition of 
the capsule of a true Cantua, that we should not have 
thought it intended for our plant. It was most probably 
owing to this error as Mr. Don remarks, that Jussreu was 
led to unite it with his Cantua. 
This handsome, but ill-scented, shrub is a native of Chili 
in South America. Is generally treated as a greenhouse 
plant ; but, if the winter prove mild, will do very well 
without protection. Mr. Jos. Knrexr in the King’s Road, 
Chelsea, had a very fine plant, which stood in the open 
air through the winter of 1721—2, flowered and produced 
fruit the following summer, but the severe frost of 1722—3 
destroyed it.. It is readily propagated by cuttings.
