Lambeth; where the specimen from which the drawing was 
made flowered in the tan-pit of the hothouse in May last. 
In the same collection we were also enabled to assure our- 
selves of the specific distinction between the present and the 
one we had published as a variety of it in the 1561st article 
of Curtis's Magazine, and which we have since detached by 
the title of nutans, in a paper on this genus in the third 
volume of the Journal of Science and of the Arts. Both 
plants are native of the Brasils,
