64 A Report upon New and Rare Plants, §>c. 



the Garden. They are elegant small shrubs, with narrow, 

 rugose, toothed leaves, and terminal clusters of bright yellow 

 flowers. I believe it will be found that they are both nearly 

 hardy, and it is certain that during the summer time they 

 succeed much better in the open borders than under glass. 

 C. rugosa was presented to the Society by the Directors of 

 the Edinburgh Botanic Garden. C. integrzfolia was ob- 

 tained from seeds received from Chili by Francis Place, Esq. 

 and presented by him to the Society. The former is figured 

 in the Botanical Register, tab. 790, under the name of C. cre- 

 nata, the latter at tab. 744 of the same work. They are pro- 

 pagated by cuttings placed under a hand-glass, in a cold frame. 



In the Botanical Magazine, tab. 2523, the editor has unac- 

 countably fallen into an error in supposing these two species to 

 be the same, which if allowed to remain uncorrected might 

 deprive the cultivator of the advantage to be derived from the 

 possession of two distinct plants. They are not only different 

 but dissimilar, as will appear from the following brief but 

 comparative description of each. 



In C. rugosa, the leaves are stalked, oblong-lanceolate, and 

 toothletted irregularly along the margin, having a glabrous 

 rugose surface. The flowers grow in little, nearly sessile, 

 four or five flowered, terminal racemes. The lower lip of 

 the corolla is a little plaited, and separated by a considerable 

 interval from the upper lip. 



In C. integrifolia, on the contrary, the leaves are nearly 

 sessile, elliptical, rugose, evenly and partly regularly crenated 

 along their edge, with an opaque pubescent reticulated sur- 

 face. The flowers grow in many-flowered, terminal and 

 axillary, long-stalked, cymose panicles. The lower lip is
