in the gi'een-house, in the month of October : these are of a 

 purplish white colour, with the projecting stamens of a full 

 orange. The foliage is very similar to that of some of the 

 varieties of S. nigrum." The flowers are borne in drooping 

 clusters, each of about from five to seven flowers : the corolla is 

 about three fourths of an inch across. {Bot. Mag., Feb.)

 the genus Brugmknsia instituted by himself. Sw. Fl. Gar. 2. s. 272., Gard. Mag. xi. 76. 



See in p. 76. B. bicolor is, Dr. Lindley states, the priorly 

 pubUshed name for this fine plant. The following particulars 

 are additional to those presented in p. 76. Charles Crawley, 

 Esq., has introduced the species : he brought seeds of it with 

 him, from Guayaquil, in 1833. Besides the plants of it raised 

 by Miss Traill of Hayes Place, Kent, Lady Gibbs of Hayes 

 Common, near Bromley, has raised plants of it. From Miss 

 Traill it is communicated, that B. bicolor " will not flower in 

 pots; as it has large and spreading roots, and requires a con- 

 stant supply of moisture." Of the plant in its native places, 

 Dr. Lindley communicates, that its stature varies from 10 ft. 

 to 20 ft., the stem being generally undivided, and terminated by 

 a roundish leafy head. The flowers are succeeded by an oblong, 

 smooth, yellow, pendulous capsule, which is as much as 8 in. 

 long. The seeds are narcotic in a high degree. [Bot. Beg.,

Perennial, herbaceous, hardy, ornamental. Stem rising quite 

 erect, 5 ft. to 6 ft. high. Leaves opposite, lanceolate, serrate. 

 Flowers numerous, crowdedly and imbricately disposed in many 

 spikes ; displayed during the latter end of summer, and in 

 autumn. Corolla of a red purple colour above ; almost white 

 beneath, with a few reddish spots. This species inhabits Texas, 

 as do two others. Plants of P. imbricata Hooh. were sent to the 

 Glasgow, and, probably, to the other botanic gardens in this 

 country, by Mr. Drummond. It multiplies itself by suckers, 

 which sprout from beneath the surface of the soil around the 

 parent plant. Seven species of Physostegia are known. {Bot.
