the stem. Below where it branches are generally two leaves, and at 

 the place of branching four: on the branches themselves the leaves 

 are again alternate. The flowers are of a bright orange colour. The 

 tuberous roots very large. It is a native of North America, and 

 flowers from the end of July to September, sometimes ripening seed 

 in this climate. 



The eighth, according to Linnaeus, is allied to the third; but Dil- 

 lenius thinks that it approaches very near to the Amosna, but that 

 the stems are shorter, and commonly variegated with dusky purple 

 spots; the leaves broader and rounder, more excavated, less rigid, 

 not shining or hoary underneath, with the oblique veins deeper, so as 

 to be even grooved; the flowers larger, pale, dusky flesh-coloured, 

 sweet-smelling, the horns of the nectaries standing out and gaping 

 more. 



According to Miller, it resembles the fourth sort, but the leaves 

 are rough, and the umbels of flowers more compact; they come out 

 on the side of the stalk, are of an herbaceous colour, and are 

 not succeeded by pods in this climate. It is a native of North 

 America. 



In the ninth species the stem is shrubby, rough with hairs, up- 

 right, as thick as the finger. The leaves opposite, on very short pe- 

 tioles, ending rather obtusely, but with a minute point, and smooth. 

 The peduncles from the summit of the stem, umbelled, villose. The 

 corollas are white. It is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, and 

 flowers in December. 



In the tenth the nectaries are compressed without a claw, instead 

 of which are two long reflex ears. The follicles are inflated, and set 

 with soft prickles. It is also a native of the Cape, and flowers from 

 June to September. 



The eleventh is a native 6f the Cape of Good Hope, and flowers 

 here in July. 



The twelfth has the stem pubescent, branching at bottom. The 

 leaves subsessile, repand. One umbel of yellow flowers terminates 

 the stem. Found at the Cape of Good Hope. 



The thirteenth species has the stem from a foot to two or three
