appears, from the researches of Dr. Grisebach, that pelis NUS Munt this plant, and 
Zen or two like them, constitute a peculiar genus which Mr. Bentham called Beie, but 
which had been previoul named Eustoma ad the late Professor we: 
It is therefore necessary to cancel the mon name of this vum in favour of that which is now 
given. Under the Anti of Gegen zeg folius the species is circulating among gardeners as 
ef: new; but it is in truth a species respectable for its antiquity, having been described years 
0 by Lamarck under the name of Lisianthus petet, and ei Jacquin as L. glaucifolius. It is the 
u of L. Russellianus that has again brought it into notice 
It is a native of various parts of North America : "uS arm parts of Mexico on the coast of the 
acific, Vera Cruz, Tampico, Cuba, St-Domingo, the Havannah, and the Arkansas, are all set down 
as stations whence it has been bro odii; It is however by no means clear that all the plants thus 
collected are really the same species; for we find, in our specimens from the north of Mexico, that 
style is very much longer than in the ams now figured, which nue in the بده‎ of 
Mr. id agis of Turnham Green, in July la

Although not i be compared with Eustoma dee Kain, it is far from being desti- 
tute of beauty. Its foliage is i neat, gee its blossoms rather handsome. The greatest fault in it 
is its stiff de habi
