This species,, for which we are indebted to Mr. Cruck- 

 shanks, who brought the seeds from Peru, is undoubtedly, 

 a perennial and frutescent plant. It blossomed for the first 

 time, imperfectly, in December 1830, and again, with larger 

 flowers, in June, 1831. 



It appears to differ from Mr. Don's Centroclinium albi- 

 cans in its entire leaves, and from Onoseris angustifolia 

 (Humb. and Kunth,) principally in its larger and broader 

 foliage. It is certainly a very desirable stove plant, no 

 less on account of its beauty than its fragrance,
