berries, and their agreeable flavour recommend it. It was in- 

 troduced for the Society from China in 1821, by Captain 

 J a mieson, the commander of the Earl of Balcarras East 

 Indiaman. 



In the Botanical Magazine, tab. 2416, is a figure, from a 

 plant of this species in the possession of the Society, under 

 the name of Limonia parvifiora* which has been adopted, as 

 that of a distinct kind, by M. De Candolle. The species 

 is, however, I know from authentic specimens, referable to 

 Correa's genus Glycosmis, and to Willdenow and De 

 Candolle's Limonia citrifolia. It may be increased by cut- 

 tings, or by seed, which it produces in abundance. In the 

 Garden of the Society it is kept in the stove. 



XIV. Ixora barbata. Roxburgh. 

 This is a leafy, branching shrub, with long, flat, dark green 

 leaves, and large corymbs of delicate white flowers, having a 

 little tuft of hairs at the orifice of the corolla. It is nearly 

 related to I. cuneifolia of Roxburgh. The plant was obtained 

 for the Society, in 1822, from the Botanical Garden, Calcutta, 

 by Mr. John Potts, and sent home by him. A figure of it has 

 been published in the Botanical Magazine, tab. 2505. It may 

 be propagated from ripened cuttings, struck in heat ; but they 

 root very slowly. It requires the protection of a stove. 



XV. Lantana fucata. Ker. 



A beautiful small shrubby plant, covered with a profusion 

 of delicate purple flowers during most of the summer months. 

 It was raised from seeds collected for the Society in 1822, 

 at Bahia de S. Salvador, and is a very distinct species, re-
