and surround the style: pollen pale yellow. Ovarium 4-lobed, 
smooth and glossy. Style 1, short, 4-furrowed, when full 
grown quite hid by the large 4-lobed capitate Stigma. 
The present beautiful plant is deserving a place in every 
collection, both for its beauty and the delightful fragrance of its 
flowers, which has obtained for it the name of the native Rose 
in New South Wales; it may certainly be considered as one of 
the most ornamental plants of the Greenhouse, thriving well in 
a light turfy peat soil, and the pots to be well drained with pot- 
sherds broken small, that the wet may pass off readily ; but it 
is rather more tender than some of the plants from New South 
Wales, requiring the protection of a good Greenhouse in Win- 
ter. Young cuttings of it, planted in sand, under bell-glasses, in 
Summer, placed in a warm but shady situation, and to be kept 
regularly moist, will be rooted by the following Spring, when 
they must be potted singly into small pots, and all the sand 
must be shook clean from their roots that they might not can- 
ker; they should then be placed in a close frame for a few days, 
until they have made fresh roots, and must be shaded from the 
sun, when they must be hardened to the air by degrees; even- 
ing is the best time for giving air at first, as if given in the day 
time, when the sun shines, they will be liable to wither with the 
heat. 
Our drawing was made from a plant at the Nursery of Mr. 
Colvill, in July last; we also saw several fine plants of it in 
flower in the fine establishment of Messrs. Loddiges’, of Hack- 
ney. The genus was named by Sir J. E. Smith, in memory of 
Francis Borone, a native of Milan, who unfortunately died at an 
early age, by an accidental fall at Athens, while attending Pro- 
fessor Sibthorp on a botanical tour to that country. 
1. Calyx spread open. 2. The eight Stamens, every other one shortest, with 
smaller anthers. 3. One of the Stamens detaclied, the filaments bearded at the base, 
and terminated in a tufted head beyond the anther, 4, Ovarium, terminated by a 
short 4-furrowed Style, and a large 4-lobed capitate Stigma,
