This delightfully fragrant shrub flowered in June of 
the present year, in the noble gardens of Wentworth, 
where it was received from the East Indies, and is treated 
as a stove-plant ; and was obligingly communicated by 
Mr. Cooper, with the remark that it is probably different 
from the single-flowered state of Garpenia florida. In 
this doubt I partake myself, for it differs from the only 
figure | am acquainted with, taken from the recent plant, 
namely, that of Mr. Ker, in the Botanical Register, t. 449, 
—chiefly, however, in the greater length of the tube of the 
corolla, and in the leaves being much more crowded to- 
wards the extremities of the branches. Still I dare not 
venture to make it a new species, without an examination 
of the fruit, but prefer conSidering it a long-flowered var. 
of the G. florida.

often appearing verticillate. Bracteas acute, membrana- 
ceous, deciduous. Flowers large, solitary, very fragrant.

what leathery, soon turning yellowish, hypocrateriform ;

obtuse segments. Anthers nearly sessile, linear, situated
