SO a en el cee 
This fine plant has now been known in gardens in this 
country for some years, under the name of Beaumontia 
grandiflora, it having been so called by Dr. Wallich, we 
believe, in compliment to the Lady of Colonel Beaumont, 
of Bretton Hall, in Yorkshire. But it had not flowered 
till the individual from which our drawing was made pro- 
duced its blossoms, in Messrs. Whitley’s conservatory, at 
Fulham. 
We are requested to state, that the plant which 
flowered was sent by Dr. Wallich, in 1818, with many
