the crown; but I think this species shews that the teeth must be lateral in all, and that the mem- 
brane which runs up the sides of the filament is rather the real top or apex : a parallel instance oc- 
curs in Convolvulus, in some species of which the top ofeach segment, there indubitably ascertained 
by the wedge and point, is the least prominent part of the limb. 
The drawing of this rare plant was made at E. J, A. Wooprorv’s, Esq. and I believe it is in no 
other collection except Kew.
