A shrubby plant, requiring exactly the same treatment 

 as the Brugmansia arborea, growing vigorously in the open 

 air in this climate during summer, but requiring protection 

 in winter. 



It is on many accounts one of the most interesting plants 

 that have been yet brought from South America, for which 

 the public is indebted to Charles Crawley, Esq., who brought 

 it with him from Guayaquil in 1 833. It was originally raised 

 in the garden of Miss Traill, and also by Lady Gibbs, of 

 Hayes Common near Bromley, by whom we were favoured 

 with the specimen now represented, and the sight of a beau- 

 tiful drawing of the flowers in the two conditions of colour. 

 In the Flora Peruviana, and the systematic work of Baron 

 Humboldt it is fully described ; from their statements and 

 the materials we have received from Lady Gibbs, we are 

 enabled to draw up the following statement. 



* So named in compliment to Briigmans, a Professor of Natural History and 

 Botanv at Leyden, who occupied himself with vegetable chemistry, and who is 

 said to have been the first to notice the secretions of plants by their roots.
