and coherent. Style protrudmg beyond the stamens, ter- 
minated with a suborbicular, two-lobed stigma. = | 
From a careful comparison of Father Fruriér’s figure 
and description, we see very little reason to doubt but our | 
plant is the same species as his, and consequently the | 
Losevia Tupa of Linnaus, who probably. took it up from | 
that figure only. Although this represents the leaves as | 
being quite entire, yet in the description, FEvmLyéie ob- | 
serves, that the margins are serrate, with very small incon: | 
- spicuous teeth, as is the case in our plant, though out | 
draughtsman by a contrary fault has made the serrature 
much more evident than in fact they were. 
This plant differs altogether from our Lozexia gigantes 
the Tupa of the Hortus Kewensis. The inflorescence espe _ 
cially of that plant is totally different, the flowers growing 
in the axils of leaves twice the length of the peduncles ant 
whole flowers together. 3 
Lozetia, Tupa is a very handsome species, but if 
poisonous as represented by Fruitiéz, would be dangerols 
to cultivate ; the holy father, however, appears upon seve 
ral occasions to have been too credulous of the exaggerated : 
tales of the natives. a 
Our drawing was made at Mr. Brooxe’s nursery, al 
Ball’s' Pond, im October last, where it was raised from 
seeds received from Chili, and grew in the open ground, 
and continued a long time in flower. e

MEMORANDUM. 
We flatter ourselves that we have been always cautious of a het 
names different from what have been already given, even although sv 
may not have been published. And in answer to the accusation laid 
against us in the last number of the Botanical Register, of our having beet” 
led into a different line of conduct, we have only to state, that the ZizipHs 
incurvus of ROXBURGH, according to the specimen preserved in Mr. LA 
BERT’s Herbarium, is totally different from our PaLiuRus virgatus; an 
Dr. WALLIcH’s description, in the Second Volume of RoxBuRGH’S Flory 
Indica, proves it to be a true Zizrpuus, bearing a drupe with a two-cele! 
nut, not the three-celled capsule of a PALIURUS. © ee ee
