Hisgertia cordifolia is an elegant little shrub, and when 
covered with its bright yellow blossoms, terminating its 
numerous. pensile branchlets, makes a very beautiful ap- 
pearance. ; 
This genus belongs to the Natural Order of Dilleniacee, 
and the present specics to De Canpotue’s second section, 
adopted from Mr. Rosrert Brown. — 
e were favoured with the plant from which our draw- 
ing was taken, by our friend Rosert Barcray, Esq. of 
Bury-Hill, who informs us, that he received it from Mrs, 
Marryatr of Wimbledon House. It was supposed to be 
_ from Nepal; but this is uncertain, and it seems more pro- 
bable that its native country is New Holland. Flowers 
in the greenhouse, in May and June.
