if the tufts of hairs had fallen off. This habit is shewn in 
a young specimen at the bottom of the plate. ; 
The specimen drawn was raised from a cutting obtained 
from Mr. Surpnerp, of the botanic garden, Liverpool, in 
1818. It has been kept in the stove, and flowered for the 
first time, and very freely, in the spring of 1822. — 
For the above description and the drawing, by Mr. | 
Syme, we are indebted to Dr.Granam, professor of botany, 
in the University of Edinburgh. |
