224. Solandra l^vis. Hooker. A fine stove shrub, with very large pale green flowers. 
Belongs to Nightshades. Native 
of Guatemala. (Fi 
108.) 
That this is the plant figured in 
the Botanical Magazine t. 4345, we 
entertain no doubt, although its flowers 
are seven instead of ten inches long, 
green instead of white, and its calyx 
is not at all ribbed ; for it was drawn 
from a specimen gathered from a plant 
received by the Horticultural Society 
from the same nurserymen as sent it 
to Kew. It is also, beyond all doubt, 
the Solandra grant/ Mora of Mr. Ben- 
tham's Plan tee Hartwegianse, No. (>()(>, 
collected on the mountains of Quezal- 
tenango on the Pacific side, and near 
Acatenango, differing from that 
species in its ventricose tube, much 
longer than the short limb and its 
included stamens. 
Solan 
dra, according to the definition of 
Mr. Miers in his admirable papers on 
Solanoid plants. Its nearest relation 
is Solandra guttata, which has buff 
flowers, with a spotted throat and 
downy leaves. 
A very fine stove plant, cultivated 
with the greatest ease, and flowering 
abundantly in the months of Autumn.
