Was communicated by Rosert Barctay, Esq. of Bury Hill,

lhe head gardener, that it was flowered in the greenhouse, 
or though sufficiently hardy to bear our winters in the 
pen ground, it will not in this situation blossom till late 
n the autumn. Native of North America. Raised from 
eeds received from Professor Nurraty, under the name 
ve have adopted. |
