In so extensive a Genus as the present, and where man 
of the species are necessarily very imperfectly peo | 
it behoves us to constitute new ones with great caution : 
and it is not until after a careful comparison of the present

that I have considered it to be new, and have given it the 
name of the lady to whose kindness I am indebted for the

Ksq. either from Africa or from the East Indies, and raised 
by his very skilful gardener, Mr. Henry Evans, at Everton, 
where the plants produced their lovely blossoms in great pro-
