Fruits. Apples : Jannurco, Limoncello, Bergamotto gelato. The singular 

 iced appearance of the fruit of the last is said, by Tenore, to be only the con- 

 sequence of the intensity of the sun's rays, as the apples grown in the more 

 shady branches of the same tree do not possess it. Pears : Spina del Carpio, 

 Angelico, Carmosino, Mastrantonio. Medlar : Mespolo senz' osso (iliespilus 

 germanica var. apyrena), a small species of medlar without stones. Plums : 

 Pappacoda, Scaldatello, Scaldatone. The last two are winter plums, resem- 

 bling the Imperatrice, only white ; they hang upon the trees till they are 

 shriveled, and keep till February. Grapes: Zibibbo, a small Sicilian grape; 

 Lugliese, white and black ; Uva del vasto, a large white winter grape without 

 stones ; Uva di Spagna, large, black, much cultivated at Genoa ; Carniola, a 

 long white grape; &c. Fig: Trajano. Black-fruited apricot, and some peaches; 

 also the blue cauliflower, and the black and Roman broccoli. A winter melon, 

 which keeps till the spring : the Neapolitans hang them on the walls outside 

 their houses. A collection of curious species (or varieties) of orange trees 

 from the gardens of Count Camaldali. 



We asked of Mrs. Marryat the names of those species of plants which 

 have been figured, or otherwise published, from her collection. The following

 2628., Hibbertk pedunculata Brown (corifolia Bot. Mag. 2672.), Jnagallis 

 Marryate Swt., iupinus pulche'llus Swt. Fl. Gar. 2. s. 67., Zephyranthes
