Cinchona cEiE. — Pentandria Monogynia. 
Gardenia Stanleyana. This noble stove plant is a native of Sierra 
Leone, whence it was lately introduced by Mr. Whitfield. It is remarkable 
for its’ immense trumpet-shaped' flowers, measuring 8 or 9 inches long, and 
nearly 5 inches broad ; they are marked in the throat with blotches of a 
lurid red, interspersed with green, which extend all over the base of the limb, 
and are relieved and heightened by a broad margin of pure snow-white. 
Mr. Glendinning in a note says, “ The flowers are sent up in great pro¬ 
fusion from the base of the numerous shoots, which, under good management, 
are always abundant and healthy. What will render the plant a great 
favourite in our stoves is its easy cultivation. I would recommend rough 
peat, leaf-mould, and silver sand, in nearly equal proportions. Let the pots 
be well drained, and place a little moss over the drainage before potting, to 
prevent the compost from mixing with the drainage. Place the plant in a 
rather high, temperature in a close house or pit, and give abundance of atmo¬ 
spheric moisture. Under these circumstances, the cultivation and flowering 
of this choice exotic will be certain and complete.” It was named by Sir 
William Hooker after the Earl of Derby, in whose service Mr. Whitfield 
was engaged when he discovered the plant. — Bot. Reg. 47—45.
