THUNBERGIA COCCINEA. 
Class. Order, 
DIDYNAMIA ANGIOSPERMIA. 
This was first raised from seeds sent from 
Calcutta to the Royal Botanic Garden at 
Edinburgh; whence we received it from 
our friend Mr. M‘Nab. It requires the 
stove, and is a climbing plant, which 
flowers very freely in the autumn. It may 
be propagated by cuttings, and potted in 
light rich loam. It is certainly a charming 
acquisition, the blossoms being particularly 
beautiful and striking. 
“If the works of God overwhelm us 
with astonishment, how admirable must 
He Himself be! How great the felicity of 
those who shall behold Him as He is! If 
а ray of the Divine light be so enchanting, 
how glorious will be the Sun Himself! If 
this place of our temporal, earthly sojourn- 
ing be so beautiful, how infinitely more the 
dwellings in our Father’s house. O that 
we might never be debased to the irrational 
animals, by directing our regards merely to 
the earth, without soaring upwards to the 
most glorious Lord of all !!”
