green and calycine, particularly T it flowers in autumn, after a 
very hot and dry summer. Secondly in the order of Ericee, the 
first Mis a Plant blossoms, its Corolla ^. frequently more or less 
like the Calyx ; and Dnxawpzz showed me one of those with a n ng 
. tube, in which nevertheless the segments of an Limb had a g 
dorsal furrow like the Leaves. Thirdly, in an early Flower of "B 
caria, all its Petals were short, herbaceous iid: somewhat inflated, 
without any tint of yellow or Glossiness on their inner surface. 
Fourthly, in a Flower of Magnolia Grandiflora produced on a young 
Plant raised from seed at Mill Hill, the Petals were nearly of the 
same green colour and hard consistence as the Leaves, those of the 
Ova in each of the latter. These and a great een other a han
