The present is the North American plant included by 
Linneeus in his Passrrtora incarnata; but if it is to be held 
a distinct species from that which we have given as the 
variety (3 in the 152d article of this work, not the one by 
which the genus first made its appearance in Europe; al- 
though both have been combined under the Linnean incar- 
nata. The species which first appeared in Europe, we have 
little doubt, was that which we have given in the above cited 
article, and which has since been published in Curtis's Ma- 
gazine and in the Horticultural Transactions, by the specific 
title of edulis. Some botanists however are of a different 
opinion, and think the original plant was neither the present 
species, nor that we speak of, but a different, though closely 
allied, one. 
We have referred to our former article for the synonymy, 
leaving our readers to apply the various synonyms according 
to their own judgment. | 
We have not discovered, on a comparison of the living 
plants, any differences, beyond colour, of which we were 
not aware when we published the variety @ in the 152d ar- 
ticle of this work; except that’ the lower portion of the calyx 
in the Brazil plant is contracted into a shallow tube, with a 
partitioned nectary, while here the same part is nearly flat 
and the nectary not partitioned. 
The drawing was taken this summer from a plant which 
flowered in the rich and well kept collection of Mr. Vere, at 
Kensington Gore. —
