jenius’s work, we find a sumptuous engraving of the species, 
taken froma plant that flowered in Dr. Sherard’s celebrated 
garden at Eltham; but the figure of the fruit which ac- 
companies it, has been borrowed from Plumier’s drawings, 
and evidently belongs to a distitict species. Miller's Cassra 
ligustrina is another species; but his bahamensis the same 
with the present. 
Tt is said to attain 7 or 8 feet in height; stems some- 
‘times several, at most about ‘the thickness of a finger, 
round, surrounded by green ascendent somewhat grooved 
branches, thinly sprinkled with a short fine down towards 
the inflorescence; /eaves numerous, sét round the branches 
in all directions, 5-9 inches long, of a clear lively green, 
drooping at sunset, pointing upwards at sunrise, horizontal 
‘about noon ; petiole downy, considerably enlarged over the 
joint at the base, and bearing a small gland in front of the 
tumor above; Jeaflets 5-8-, but oftener 7-paired, from an inch 
and a half to 3 inches long, lanceolate, minutely villous at 
the edge and base, smooth: stipules 9, lateral, small, re- 
curved, subulate, herbaceous, villous, deciduous. Jnflo- 
rescence a leafy upright panicle formed of several 3- or more- 
‘flowered corymbs, /owermost issuing separately ‘from the 
‘axils of the upper leaves, which gradually decrease to mere 
‘bractes ; uppermost terminal, and sometimes dichotomous. 
Calyx subherbaceous, villous, not reflectent. Corolla deep 
yellow, without spots, and with nerves less promineutly 
marked than is usual in the genus; upper petal obcordate, 
broader, the rest obovate, the two lower smallest. Stamens 
nearly as in Cassra*occidentalis of the $3d article of this 
work. 
There is a variety with a smaller foliage. The drawing 
was made from a plant which flowered in great perfection 
Jast autumn in the collection of Mr. John Hall, at Notting- 
hill.
