SPECIFIC CHARACTER 
In the opinion of Mr. Bentham the plant now figured, which was mentioned in the last و‎ 
of this work under the name of Habrothamnus cyaneus, is better separated as a peculiar g 
to which two other species, also found by Mr. Hartweg in erg rial America, must be added. ped 
new genus,» writes Mr. Bentham, «differs from Een us in the æstivation of the corolla; and 
as far as I can judge from a not quite ripe fruit, in the fruit and seed belonging to the tribe of 
true Solaneæ not to the Cestrineæ. Mr. Hartweg Am that the fruit is pulpy, a sort of berry, and 
not a dry capsule. 
Mr. Hartweg cud this plant in the form of a shrub, from four to six feet high, growing on 
the mountains of Yangaga, near Loxa. It flowered in the Garden of the Horticultural Society in 
August, 1844. 
The other species above alluded to are —

This is a handsome , free WEE deciduous greenhouse or half-hardy shrub , about four feet high. 
It grows freely in an equal mixture of sandy loam and peat; but when the plants are young 
they should be grown in a richer soil, in order to gain size and substance quickly. When they 
have attained a considerable size, they require to eg kept rather dry, and to be stunted in the 
pots. A good — a the plant is to turn it, when young, €—— M 
rich soil, about the end of May, to supply it deeg with moisture during the summer, and 
to take it up about "e end of September. Pit it, keeping it in a close place for a week or pe 
to recover the shift, and then to place it in a rather dry situation, where it is secure from fros
