Specific Charaeter. 
Livonia parviflora ; inermis, foliis bijugis: foliolis ag wee 
lanceolatis integerrimis, corollis campanulatis, baccis 
oblato-spheroideis obliquis. 
This species of Lrmonia, though nearly allied to penta- 
_ phylla, appears to differ in having more lanceolate leaves, 
but more especially in the campanulate form of the corolla, 
_ the petals being erect, and only spreading a little at the 
_ points. The fruit in our plant approaches to a globular 
form, a little flattened, and considerably oblique. This 
bliquity is probably owing to one of the seeds only com- 
g to maturity, which compresses the other two cells into 
Small space, and throws the insertion of the style to one 
_ Side, though in the germen the style occupies the centre. 
Native of China, whence it was sent to the Horticultural 
iety, at whose recent, but nificent establishment, 
at Chiswick, our drawing was taken in March last ; at 
_ Which time it had both flowers and ripe fruit. Cultivated
