This fine species of Buer1a was communicated, in 1820, 
from Trinidad, to the Royal gardens at Kew, by Sir Ratpu 
Wooprorp, to whom I am anxious to dedicate it, as toa 
gentleman through whose love of science and liberality, 
our stoves are enriched by many choice productions, and 
to whom I am, individually, indebted for a most valuable 
Herbarium of Trinidad plants. 
As a species, it is abundantly distinct from any described 
individual of the genus. 
The engraving was made from a drawing in the pos- 
session of W. Townsenp Arron, Esq.
