Samples of this fine-flowered shrub were sent for our use 
by Mr. Lambert from Boyton, where the plant had been 
Taised for the first time in this country from Mexican 
Seed, transmitted by Mr. Cowan. We find the species also 
In the Lambertian Herbarium, from the collection of the 
Celebrated botanical traveller Don José Pavon, the asso- 
-Clate of Ruiz in the investigation of the plants of Peru. 
_ Cultivated in the hothouse. For the excellent descrip- 
tion we are indebted to the very intelligent Secretary of the 
Linnean Society, to whose kindness we have often had 
Tecourse. re:
