membranous, ciliated at the edge, and united with the others at 

 the base. The ray is yellow, the disk purple. Florets of the 

 ray female, ligulate, revolute, five-toothed at the end ; of the 

 disk hermaphrodite, tubular, slightly ventricose in the middle, 

 smooth. Receptacle paleaceous, flat ; paleae as long as the 

 florets, transparent, ciliated, spatulate, purplish at the end, 

 covered with resinous glands at the back. Anthers not awned 

 at the base. Ovaria square, smooth, covered by a cyathiform, 

 toothed, membranous pappus, which is the same both upon 

 the florets of the ray and of the disk. 



Seeds of this plant were collected upon the small Island 

 of the Grand Cayman, by Mr. George Don, in 1822, and 

 brought home by him in the following year. It is, undoubtedly, 

 the plant which Kunth describes as having been collected 

 in Cuba by Humboldt and Bonpland, but I doubt whether 

 the Peruvian Buphthalmum lineare, which is cited as a syno- 

 nym, is the same plant. I have never observed any trace 

 of the denticulations on the side of the leaves, which the 

 botanists who have described B. lineare point out. A neat 

 shrub, flowering in the stove in October, and emitting, when 

 rubbed, a strong aromatic odour. Propagated by cuttings ; 

 it grows readily in a light sandy loam.

The grafted part of a Camellia, brought from China in 

 1822, by Mr. John Potts, having perished, the stock sprang 

 up, and proved to be this species, which had been before 

 unknown to botanists. It forms a diffuse bushy plant, with
