Cultivated in the Paris Garden in 1778, from seed col- 
lected at Vera Cruz by M. Thierry. Established as a dis- 
tinct genus by Professor Desfontaines in 1780. 
Now first introduced into this country by the Horti- 
cultural Society, with whom it flowered in their garden at 
Hammersmith towards the end of last summer. 
A very handsome outdoors annual, requiring to be 
raised in the spring upon a hotbed. The flowers have 
something the appearance of the French Marygold, but are 
of a different and much finer yellow. We suspect that the 
plant will not ripen seed very readily either here or jn 
France, in which last country it has been long since lost. 
We find samples of the species, gathered in Jamaica by 
Mr. Wiles, in the Lambertian Herbarium. 
An attentive examination of the samples of Hetianrays 
tubeeformis, in the same Herbarium, has convinced us that 
that species should be included in Trruonra, with which it 
agrees throughout in habit and character. ‘There is likewise 
an unrecorded species in the same Herbarium, brought h 
Mr. Cowan from the Havannah; and this, we believe, wif] 
also be found to belong to Hetiopsis. 
We had not room for any of the lower three-lobed leayes 
in our plate, where only the upper entire ones are shown, 
The genus comes near to Heuranruus, but there the 
calyx is in many rows of leaflets and squarrose, the recep- 
tacle nearly flat, and the seederown of two caducous ge- 
nerally cuspidated paleze. Don MSS.
