We must take some future opportunity of ascertaining 
the station which is to be assigned to this Species in the 
genus Hibiscus, not having had an opportunity of inspect- 
ing the flowers. It does not appear referable to any 
published species, nor have we seen it in any collection of 
dried plants. * efor 
~~ It is ashrubby plant, producing blossoms in abundance, 
and was raised at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, from Nepal seeds, 
communicated by Edward Rudge, Esq.; it has also been 
obtained, at the same establishment, from others given to’ 
Mr. Colvill by Mr. Hood, of Vauxhall, under the name 
_ of Hibiscus racemosus. The stem is covered over with an 
infinite number of acicular, stellate, transparent hairs, 
~ which, upon being pressed, excite a stinging sensation, 
like Hibiscus pruriens, to which we Suspect. this plant to 
be nearly allied. The foot-stalks are more than twice as 
long as the leaves, ascending, round, and covered with a 
soft hairiness. —
