This genus was named after Henry Christian 
Funck, who has published a collection of dried 
plants, chiefly Mosses, of some of which he was the 
discoverer. 
A few cultivators of flowers have, of late, indul- 
ged the novel fancy of collecting together all the 
variegated herbaceous plants and shrubs that are 
to be met with, and a goodly collection it must be 
confessed they make. This reminds us of Jacob's 
ring-streaked and speckled and spotted flocks and 
herds ; and possibly, such a collection, like Jacob’s 
peeled rods, may influence the beauty of a future 
generation of those domestic animals, whose taste 
for gardening often leads them amongst our flowers. 
To collectors of this class of plants, the Funkia 
now figured, will be a gem, both for its beauty and 
singularity ; and for their further information we 
should not omit to mention the variegated variety 
of Funkia lanceaefolia, another plant of nearly equal 
pretensions with the present. 
This species is rather delicate, and should have 
a little protection during winter. It is very suit- 
able for pot culture.
