A greenhouse shrub, with ovate lanceolate sharp-pointed 

 leaves, and small cymes of axillary yellow flowers. It was 

 raised in the Berlin garden from seeds which sprang up in 

 the earth in which Mexican plants had been imported. In the 

 summer it does very well in the open air; but it must have a 

 greenhouse for winter. It belongs to the Natural order Cin- 

 chonaceas.

A greenhouse bush, with obovate obtuse leaves, and
