A native of King George's Sound, where it was found by 

 Mr. Menzies so long since as during the voyage of Van- 

 couver, and from specimens then obtained it was first 

 described by Sir James Smith. It is however only within a 

 short time that it has made its appearance in our gardens ; 

 the plant from which the accompanying drawing was taken 

 flowered with Messrs. Loddiges last June. 



I think that this is, upon the whole, the handsomest of 

 the genus, forming a neat deep green bush, most profusely 

 clothed with bright rosy red flowers. 



Such plants as this succeed best in a light airy part of the 

 green-house, not too much exposed to a bright sun in summer. 

 They may be multiplied either by cuttings or layers. The 



* Named after Francis Borone, a faitbful servant of the late Professor 

 Afzelius, who accompanied his master to Sierra Leone, where he died. 



At the suggestion of a classical friend, it is intended to make a slight alte- 

 ration in the manner proposed, at fol. 1 ot the present volume, tor accenting 

 generic names. In future the real quantity will be marked, and an accent will be 

 placed in addition over the accented syllable.
