15. Petunia, Pentandria Monogynia, Juss. in Ann. Mus. 2, 

 p 215, f. 47 ; Persoon Ench. 1, p 218. — Of this herbaceous plant, 

 which is a native of South America, many varieties, as to the colour 

 of the flowers, are annually raised in garden flower-beds. To 

 specify these would be a work of too much detail. The flowers 

 vary from white to deep purple. 



BROWALLIA, Didynamia Angiospermia. — These plants, 

 natives of South America, have been raised from seed received 

 from Professor Savi, of Pisa. 



16. B Demissa. — Having leaves ovate-acuminate, oblique, and 

 a corolla, like the Verbenaceag, of a pale blue. 



17. B Elongata. — Having broader leaves, and a pubescent 

 stem ; flower Uke that of B demissa. Garden Dapoorie.

18. B Candida. — Native of Peru; not uncommon in our gar- 

 dens ; the flower is long-lobed, plaited, crisped at edges of iacinise, 

 and altogether like a gigantic Datura.

19. L Afrum.^ — Linn. syst. 228; Mant. p 47; Don's syst. 4, p 

 458. — The shrub did exist at Dapoorie ; having a number of 

 fascicled spathulate leaves, rising from spinous processes along the 

 branches. We are not sure that it still exists ; it never flowered. 



The ornamental annuals Salpiglossis, &c. belong to this family, 

 but as these are always renewed from foreign seed, they can hardly 

 have a place here. Schizantus venusthus is one of the choicest of 

 our annuals.

1. Verbascum Tomentosum. — This is a tall erect plant, 

 having a thick round stem finally covered with sessile yellow 

 flowers. We have raised it from seed received from Dr. Jameson, 

 Seharunpore. Is it found in any garden at present (?) Ours has 

 disappeared.
