or obscurely four-lobed. Coro..a several times longer, cylindrical, or 
slightly ventricose, petals overlapping and cohering at the margins, so 
as to present the appearance of a monopetalous campanulate corolla, 
free at the upper part, and slightly reflexed; throat ciliated. Stamens 
eight, alternately long and short, those opposite the petals being the 
shortest; filaments of the others as long as the tube, and anthers 
somewhat exserted. Ovary smooth; style one, longer than the 
corolla; stigma blunt. 
PopuLaR aND GeEoGRaApPHicAL Notice. This species of Correa 
is a native of Kangaroo Island, off the south coast of New Holland. 
The genus affords another proof of a peculiar type of organization 
being limited to a peculiar region of the globe, for though several 
species are found on the different coasts of Australia, and some of the 
adjacent islands, none have been discovered out of those latitudes. 
Growing as they do in the vicinity of the sea, their seeds must frequently 
fall into its dispersive waves, and be wafted to different shores, but 
their germinating property is either destroyed by the salt water, lost 
by time, or they are carried to regions unsuited to their constitution, 
so that every where except in the Australian territories, they “die and 
make no sign.” The plant now figured presents some slight points of 
difference from those hitherto represented; it is more slender, the 
flowers more remote, and longer, as well as more elegant, and the 
colour not so deep. These may either be permanent distinctions 
or owing to the situation of the plant in the greenhouse, by which it 
has been drawn up and rendered more delicate in its habit. They are 
insufficient to justify making a new name for it, as the multiplication 
of these, without cause, is very objectionable. 
INTRODUCTION; WHERE GROWN; CuLTurRE. It was brought to 
Britain in 1824. For an opportunity of drawing this handsome 
specimen, we are indebted to George Glenny, Esq. of Worton Lodge, 
Isleworth. An equal mixture of loam and peat is most suitable to it. 
Cuttings with well-ripened wood will readily root, if planted thinly in 
a pot of sand, under a hand glass, without heat. 
ERIVATION OF THE NaMEs. 
Correa, after Joseph Correa de Serra, a Portugese botanist, many interesting 
letters from whom may be found in the Life and Corresponcence of Sir J. E. 
Smith. Puxicuextza, from pulcher, fair.
