Spec. Char., §c. Leaves coriaceous, glaucescent, with a saltish, bitterish 
taste. Corolla white, having the throat veined with green. Stamens white. 
Stigma green. Nuts the form of those of Coffea 
arabica, convex on one side, marked by a slender 
furrow in the middle, obtuse at top, and perforated 
by two roundish holes at the base: hence it is tri- 
dentate, the first tooth from the middle of the back, 
the other two from the sides : sometimes, but only 
by abortion, 1-celled. Albumen copious, fleshy. 
(Don’s Miil., iv. p. 480.) Ashrub, a native of the 
south of Brazil, in woods, where it has been col- 
lected by Sello; but which was introduced from 
Peru by Joseph Jussieu into France, whence it was 
sent to this country in 1780. It grows to the height 
of 6 ft., and flowers in April and May. There are 
fine specimens of it in the Horticultural Society’s 
Garden, against a wall; and in the Epsom Nursery, as a bush in the open 
garden ; from which it appears to be as hardy as Lycium europe‘um. The 
whole plant has a mealy white appearance ; by which, and by the singular 
form of its leaves, it may be known at first sight from any species of Lycium. 
Though it has been introduced into British gardens so many years since, 
and was known in France in the time of Du Hamel, it is rarely met with 
in collections ; and, though so easily propagated by suckers, it 1s not to be 
found for sale in the nurseries. 
App. I. Half-hardy ligneous Plants belonging to the Order 
Solandcee. 
Nicotiana glaica Grah., Bot. Mag., t. 
287. ; and ourfig. 1118. ; isa splendid suffru- 
ticose plant, which will grow to 10ft. or 
12ft., or probably to 20{ft. or upwards, 
against a wall, making a fine appearance 
in the summer season, with its large glau- 
cous leaves, and yellowish green flowers. 
A plant in the Horticultural Society’s 
Garden has stood out since 1832; and, 
though its stems are occasionally cut down 
by the frost, yet the stool always pushes 
out vigorously in the spring. A plant of 
this species in the Chelsea Botanic Garden 
attained the height of 14ft., in 1835, in 
the open border. 
Brugmansia sanguinea Ruiz et Pav.; B. bicolor Pers., Swt. Fl. Gard., 2a ser., t. 272.; and our 
Sig. tis. has an arboreous stem, which rises to the height of from 10 ft. to 20 ft. The flowers 
are produced from the forks of the branches. Corolla funnel-shaped, 7 in. long, green towards 
the base, orange yellow farther along its length. The limb 5-lobed, of a deep orange scarlet ; 
this colour, lessened in intensity, seems to extend down the tube, until it blends with the orange
