This very delicate species of Tulip was sent (from 
“ Kumana,”’ according to Mr. Suernerp,) by Dr. Watticn, 
to the Liverpool Botanic Garden, under the name of “Tv- 
tPA Clusiana ?” But, as Mr. Sueruerp observes, it is very 
different from that plant ; and, as it appears to me also, from 
every other of the gents, although its characters are not 
very easily defined. It is remarkable for the narrowness 
of the petals, and their spreading out almost flat in the 
middle of the day when the sun shines, and closing again in 
the evening. The bulbs were received from the East In- 
dies, in the month of January ; and in two months from that 
seine they produced flowers. Cultivated in the green- 
ouse. 
It will, probably, prove hardy enough to bear the open 
air; and is certainly a most valuable acquisition to our 
gardens.
