This genus was named by Robert Sweet, in 
honour of Mr. Hunneman, a gentleman intimately 
connected with natural history. He is the honp- 
rary agent in England, of the German Union, a 
society to which we have subscribed with much 
satisfaction. Its funds are expended in the col- 
lection of specimens in various departments of na- 
tural history, which are annually divided amongst 
its subscribers; and certainly the minerals which 
have been distributed indicate careful manage- 
ment. The Hunnemania somewhat resembles the 
Eschscholtzia, but its flower has rather the light 
of the glow-worm than the rich colouring of the 
deep yellow Eschscholtzia. 
Sow its seeds in autumn. The young plants 
will bear full exposure through a mild winter ; but, 
for security against disappointment, a pot of seed- 
lings should have occasional protection. Although 
considered annual only, under greenhouse protec- 
tion, it is perennial ; and in the open borders, also, 
it has, by care, been preserved through winter, even 
without the destruction of its stems. Cuttings do 
not root ; nor is division generally practicable.
