style when magnified pubescent, about equal to the germen: 
calyx sitting close to the lower part of the corolla, with a 
remarkable concave or dinted base; /eaves about the third 
of an inch wide at most. The boundaries of the genus have 
been as yet but incompletely defined, and require revision. 
The Lrparta hirsuta of Meoench’s work, above quoted, 
is a very different species, but not Borsonia ¢rinervia of 
Bergius, as he presumes. This flowered at Kew in 1794, and 
was deposited along with a spontaneous Cape specimen in 
the Banksian Herbarium, by the same title that Moench has 
- given it; but was not recorded in the late edition of 
the Hortus Kewensis; the Lrparra hirsuta of which is 
Thunberg’s and the present plant. So that a new name re- 
mains to be adopted for Mcench’s species, which is not ‘yet 
published in any other work known to us than his own, 
* Our plant has a forked stigma, a ‘calyx that does not 
answer to that of its generic character, nor are three of the 
anthers more shortly stipitate than the others; but still we 
believe it to: be a good Liparta. The drawing was made 
from a fine plant that flowered last January, at the nursery 
of Messrs. Whitley, Brame, Milne, and Co. Parson’s Green, 
- Fulham; where it had been raised from seed.
