was made, came from Trinidad, whence it was sent by our li- 
beral friend Baron de Schack, M. D. and flowered in the 
stove of the Glasgow Botanic Garden in the month of Novem- 
ber. It belongs to Mr Brown's Section IV. in Hort. Kew. ; 
but I can find no genus to which it may be satisfactorily re- 
ferred. The similarity of the flowers, as to their general effect, 
with those of some species of Violets, have suggested to me the 
appellation of lantha.
