was made in August last. At that time it had been for some 

 weeks in flower, and had lost something of the beauty which 

 it possessed originally. It was still, however, a plant of no 

 ordinary ornament. 



Of course it will be a stove plant, but when we consider 

 how few stove shrubs will produce their blossoms, such a 

 novelty as this is doubly welcome. 



It forms a genus of the Rutaceous order, allied to those 

 American monopetalous genera, of which the Angostura 

 bark tree may be taken as the type, and is in particular nearly 

 akin to Monniera, a weed of tropical America, without any 

 of the beauty of this plant. From Monniera it differs in the 

 tube of the corolla not being curved, in its limb having but 

 little irregularity, and in the disk being a regularly crenated 

 cup, and not a permanent distinct two-toothed scale. It is 

 the more interesting because it brings the genus Monniera 

 more distinctly within the division Cusparidse, with the ordi- 

 nary genera of which it agrees in habit, while its organiza- 

 tion agrees better with that of Monniera, the habit of which 

 is but little in accordance with the rest of the division.
