it is cultivated as an ornamental covering for walls, as well 
ag on account of the fragrance of the blossom, diffusing an 
odour like that proceeding from the finer kinds of ripe fruits. 
The drawing was taken in the autumn before last, at the 
Dowager Lady De Clifford’s garden, Paddington, where the 
fruit was produced, in the hothouse, probably for the first 
time in Europe. ‘The flower which is seen at the bottom of 
our plate was obtained from the same source. ‘Under a 
warmer sun the bloom is described as yellow, not green, as 
it proves to be with us: the fruit is likewise said to attain 
that colour when well ripened, and is sometimes much larger 
than in our specimen; but never eatable. 
Introduced in 1758 by the then Duke of Northumber- 
land. In Mr. Brown’s opinion the genus is intermediate 
between Kapsura and Guarriera; the former of which 
may probably prove not to be a genuine co-ordinate of the 
Anonacece, if it should turn out, as Mr. Brown ‘has reason 
to suspect from a dissection of the seed shown in the draw- 
ing of an analogous species, that the albumen is even and 
entire, instead of being indented and scored by the processes 
of the interior membrane of the seminal covering as through- 
out this order. | LA ; 
In Unona, the genus where our plant was placed by M. 
Decandolle, the petals are of unequal depths, the seedvessel 
is many-seeded, the seeds disposed in one rank or one above 
the other, and the stalk not furnished with any prehensile 
tendril or grapple: in ArraBorrys the petals are of equal 
depths, the germen two-seeded growing up into a 2-(or 
sometimes accidentally solitary-)seeded fruit, the seeds 
without an arillus, placed side by side, not one above the 
other, and the peduncle furnished with a grapple or crooked 
tendril for its peculiar support, not as in most other ten- 
dril-bearing plants, for the assistance of the branches in 
their ascent. ; . 
We understand that 3 species of Artasorrys besides the 
present, are already known; one of which with curiously 
small flowers has been recently discovered by Dr. Horsfield 
- during his residence in Java, and is in the rich Herbarium 
that gentleman has brought to this country. 
In Anona the whole bunch or head of berried seedvessels 
is concreted into a single fruit, something in the way of 
the Pine-Apple. . 
In Uvaria the berries of the bunch or head of fruit are 
distinct as in the present genus, but are many-celled.
