BUTACEJB. OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 



A very handsome flowering species, which is a native of King George's 

 Sound, where it was discovered by Mr. Menzies. It bloonnd in the green- 

 house of Messrs. Lodiges's at Hackney, and forms a neat busby plant, with, 

 deep grei'n foliage. It produces a profusion of {lowers of a bright rosy- 

 red colour. Each flower is about half an inch across. This species de- 

 eerves a place in every greenhouse Like the rest of the species, it re- 

 quires to be grown iu an airy, and light part of a greenhouse. The most 

 suitable soil for all the tribe is a sandy peat, using a free supply of drain- 

 age, and frequently shifting each plant into a pot a size larger. If over - 

 potted they often die. Baronea, so named in compliment to Boranes, who 

 was servant to Professor Afzelius, this faithful servant went with his mas- 

 ter to Sierra Leone, where he died. 



6. COMUS SCABIOSOIDES. ScaUous-like. Bot. Reg. 15. 



asteracek. Syngenesia superplua. 



A native of Mexico, from whence seeds were sent to J. F, Dickinson, Esq. 

 and by that Gentleman presented to the Horticultural Society of London, 

 in whose garden it bloomed last year. The flowers are produced numerous- 

 ly, each blossom being about an inch and a half across, of a deep crimson 

 inside with the stamens, forming a yellow eye ; outside of a deep rosy red, 

 It is a very handsome species, well worthy a place in every flower Garden. 

 It is supposed very probably, that the flowers of the genus will become 

 double, similar to the Dahlia. There are several other species of this 

 pretty tribe, not yet introduced into this country, with pink, blight yellow, 

 or deep purple flowers There are now annually importations of Mexican 

 seeds into this country, we may therefore conclude that seeds of these beau- 

 tiful plants will soon be introduced.
