The drawing was taken from a plant which flowered last 
summer in the greenhouse of the Horticultural Society. 
We believe it to be very rare in our collections; though 
cultivated in the Chelsea Garden by Miller before 1750. 
We had no OppOELUnIEY of examining the plant for de- 
scription. 
There is an Anum Dracontium, in Thunberg’s Flora Ja- 
ponica ; but without any description. It can hardly be of 
the same species with the present.
