Oxatis rosea has been hitherto known to botanists only 
by the description and figure of Frurtiéz, with which our 
Plant accords in too many respects to allow us to consider 
_ las a distinct species, though he describes the flowers as 
emg of a pale red colour with darker streaks extending 
only half way along the petal ; but it is not improbable 
_ ‘hat the colour may vary in intensity in different individuals ; 
: and in the inflorescence, stem, foliage, and especially the

Sees ;
