BRUGMANSIA WAYMANNII. 
In the nearly allied genus Datura^ we find the species fastuosa described as occa- 
sionally bearing- semi-double flowers, but an instance so strange and unusual as that 
we now record never before came under our notice. The flowers are somewhat 
fragrant, and appear about May and June. 
Sandy peat, and loam mixed with a little well-decomposed manure, will make a 
suitable compost for it. It is a free grower, therefore should have plenty of water, 
both at the roots and over the branches ; and what is of greater importance, plenty 
of pot room. 
Propagated freely from cuttings in sand in a little heat under a glass. Messrs. 
Webber and Pierce, of whom plants may be obtained, have hitherto treated it in the 
greenhouse, but think it will flovver in the open air in summer. 
We have named it in compliment to Sir H. Digby's intelligent gardener, Mr. 
Way man.
