Edinburgh Botanic Garden, from Mr. Mackay of Clapton, in 

 about 1825. It had repeatedly formed buds; but no blossoms 

 expanded until September, 1835. The flower opened in the 

 morning, and closed towards the afternoon : it is slightly, and not 

 very agreeably, perfumed. {Boi. Mag.y Jan.)

 mucros ; the lower leaves undivided, rounded, and toothed at

" It is chiefly remarkable for the large size and singular colour 

 of" the limb of the calyx, which is " beautifully variegated with 

 purple and dirty yellow." The flowers " have a most disagree- 

 able disgusting smell, which will prevent the plant from becoming 

 a favourite. . . . Nearly allied to A. grandiflora." The figure is 

 from the species in a living state, in the collection of Mrs. Marryat, 

 Wimbledon, Surrey, who obtained it from the West Indies.

A striking species in the largeness of its leaves, to those who 

 only know the species with smaller leaves, as glauca and decus- 

 sata. Z/igustrina is pleasing in its foliage and heads of white 

 flowers ; the flowers are small ; but many are comprised in each 

 head. The figure is from the species, in a living state, in the 

 nursery of Mr. Low, Clapton, in Marach, 1834. It grows, in its 

 native places, as much as 10 ft. high. [Bat. Reg., Jan.) 



In Vol. X. p. 347j 348., is some account of Aypericina Cun., 

 another species with large leaves, on which it is there quoted, that 

 " it has much of the habit and strength of growth of P.
