author. Introduced from Mexico by Mr. Tate, of the 

 Sloane Street Nursery, from whom Mr. Lambert obtained 

 the plant which blossomed in the stove at Boyton in the 

 early part of last summer. It appears to be fond of warmth 

 and moisture, grows luxuriantly, is readily increased by 

 cuttings, and promises to produce its blossoms more freely 

 than the other species. 



" In S. grandiflora, to which the present comes nearest 

 in affinity, the leaves are quite smooth, the flowers shorter, 

 of a greenish white colour, the tube less attenuated, and 

 scarcely exceeding the calyx in length. 



" The genus is closely related to Brugmansia, from 

 which it is principally distinguished by its berried fruit." 



For the specimen from which this noble species was 

 drawn we are indebted to Mr. Lambert. Mr. Don has 

 obligingly furnished us with the foregoing description and 

 observations.
