or 10 ft." May not a plant of such stature be rather deemed a 

 shrub ? Leaves alternate, bipinnate, 7 in. or 8 in. long, spread- 

 ing ; pinnae about nine pairs ; leaflets' in each pinna, from 12 to 

 16 pairs; oblong elliptical, 4 or 5 lines long. Flowers in a ter- 

 minal corymbose raceme ; corolla yellow, 2 in. across, of 5 petals. 

 Filaments bright red, slender, about 3 in. long; anthers dark 

 red. Style of about the same colour, length, and thickness as 

 the stamens. " We have seldom had to record so interesting a 

 production as the present, and one so eminently deserving the 

 attention of the cultivator." The figure is from a plant at Mr. 

 Knight's, King's Road, Chelsea, which "has stood for several 

 years, placed near the wall of a stove, which it now considerably 

 overtops, and even exceeds the height that " the species usually 

 attains in its native country. From the tree being deciduous, 

 and ripening its shoots early in the autumn, we may infer that it 

 will endure our winters in situations less favourable than the one 

 at Mr. Knight's." {Brit. Flow.-Garden^ Nov.)

These particulars are, some corrective, some additional, to those 

 in XI. 525. 689. : of the following, all are additional, except the 

 fact of its being a native of Brazil. Raised by C. H. Hope, Esq., 

 from seeds collected in Brazil. Mr. Hope communicated it to 

 the Birmingham Society. It appears, also, to be indigenous about 

 Buenos Ayres ; W. Borrer, Esq., having recognised it as iden- 

 tical with one which he raised, a few years ago, from seeds col- 

 lected there. [Mr. Maimd, in his work, the Botanic Garden, 

 i. 526.) Mr. Cameron has communicated that the kind which has 

 been denominated Armitage^?m5 was introduced into the col- 

 lection of the Birmingham Botanical and Horticultural Society, 

 in 1833 ; and that he believes that Mr. Borrer raised it from 

 Buenos Ayres seeds, in about 1828 or 1829, but lost it before 

 it flowered ; and that Mr. Borrer considered it to be near ner- 

 vosus by the foliage.
