stigma capitate, four-lobed. - ‘The lower leaves were seven 
inches long, two and three quarters wide, smooth, netted- 
veined underneath, and turned red in the autumn. 
Of the nine species of Fucusia described and figured in 
the Flora Peruviana F. ovalis is the only one that has any 
resemblance to our plant, and in that, the peduncles are 
axillary, and the whole plant pubescent. 
Mr. Barcuay had his plant from the Sloane Street 
Nursery, where it was raised from seeds brought from 
Mexico, by Mr. Buxtock, ticketed Fucusta arborescens. 
Several persons have received seeds of the same, under this 
name from that country ; which makes it probable, that it 
has already, or will be so called in the Mexican publica- 
tions ; we have, therefore, adopted it, though with us we 
believe it has not yet reached a height Beat three or 
four feet, and is only ashrub. Mr. Tare informs us, that 
he has since raised many plants of it, from seeds sent him 
by R. P. Stapizs, Esq. to whose kind favours he is indebted 
for above two hundred new, or rare species from Mexico. 
Cultivated, at present, as a greenhouse shrub; but per- 
haps may he e found hardy enough to bear our 
winters without protection. i | .
