now blooming in the palm stove of the Royal Gardens, Kew, and for 
the opportunity of examining and describing which we are indebted to 
r. Hooker. Our doubts arise from the imperfect description and 
ng'ire of Cavanilles. Nevertheless, as the plant at Kew evidently ap- 
proaches more nearly to the species he figures than to any other that is 
nown to us, we think it preferable to consider it as the true D. angu- 
ata than to regard it as the type of a new species. We add a descrip- 
»on of the more salient features of the plant in question, drawn up 
K>m a comparison of the living plant with a dried specimen from 
°urbon in the Kew Herbarium, and which clearly belongs to the 
same species :— A shrub or small tree, with loosely spreading branches; 
young shoots, leafstalks, leaves, and outer surface of the calyx covered 
wit i long, soft, simple hairs (not stelliform, as in most of the other
