No. 1045. 
THUNBERGIA ALATA, 
Class. Order. 
DIDYNAMIA ANGIOSPERMIA. 
This, as well as the preceding, is from 
the rich collection of Mr. Barclay, by 
i whom it was raised from seeds, collected in 
the island of Zanzebar, on the Eastern 
coast of Africa. It requires the stove, and 
may be readily multiplied by cuttings: the 
soil should be light loam. 
The flowers are extremely beautiful; they 
‚ are continued for a long time during the 
summer and autumn. The strong contrast 
between the intensely dark colour of the 
inside of the tube, ng da к чия 
of the border, distinguis 
every thing we hab ever seen; but nothing 
is so wonderful, either in form or colour, 
as not to be found among the immense 
treasures of our glorious Creator’s works, 
‘diffused by His benignant hand over every 
portion of the whole globe !
