burgh Botanic Garden, where it flowered in October last. 
Dr. Wieur has pointed out its great affinity, especially in 
the structure of the flowers, with the C. acuminata (Roxs. 
Corom. v. |. t. 8.) ; the chief difference being in the leaves; 
here narrow, thick, and fleshy, exhibiting no trace of veins; 
there broader, not fleshy, and throwing out lateral veins 
from the costa. 
Descr. Whole plant slightly glaucous. Stems and 
branches slender, twining. Leaves opposite, linear and 
acuminate, two to four inches long, sessile, fleshy, with a 
furrow on the upper side. Flowers in pedunculated, axil- 
lary umbels, shorter than the leaves, each of three to four 
flowers. Calyx of five deep, linear segments. Corolla 
yellow-green, tinged with purple, the twbe much inflated, 
the limb of five, linear, erect, and connivent segments, deep 
purple and hairy within. Organs of fructification on a short 
stipes, which supports a double crown: outer of five patent, 
lanceolate, fleshy segments, alternating with the five inner 
ones, which are much elongated, cylindrical, or filiform, 
erect, flexuose, diverging upwards.

Dr. Wicur has requested me to correct the following errors in the 
description of Ceropecia Wightit at folio 3267 of this Magazine. At 
the beginning of the third paragraph, the words “ exterior” and “ inte- 
rior’ are transposed ; it should have been stated, that the interior lobes — 
are twice as long as the exterior —In the Generic Character, line first, 
for “ lobo’’ read tubo.” ,
