Found by T[qUNBEP. G in the interior of the Cape country 
in Hottentot's Holland, in a wood not far from Sea-Cow 
River, near a houti alled Kock's-Farm. Cultivated by 
lla in 758, wl:o received the feeds from the Cape, 
under the title of "White Water-Lily ;" it is of the eafieff 
culture, and will grow many years together (without parting or 
removing) in the fame pot; requires plenty of water; blooms 
fewral weeks in fucceltion during the Summer months.; pro- 
duces feed in abundance; owing to which and its long ftanding 
in the country it is now one of the cmnmoneff of its tribe in 
our collegtions; has no froell.

Found by TtNBSR, at the Cape, near Berg-River the 
Twenty-Four-Rivers, Elephant's-River, and from Roodei 
Sand to Hauteniquas-Land, in the greater abundance; and 
when dreffed is ufed both by the Colonifts and Hottentots for 
food. Mr. B^RROV, in his very intelligent account of this 
colony, mentions a fmall yellow IRIS that furniIhes a root for 
the table, not unlike a chefnut in fize and tafte; the froall 
roots of which are called UYr)s by the Dutch inhabitants; 
and in another place he obferves, that a feafon is computed in ' 
that country from the time that there roots are fit to eat, 
vhich is called Uyntjs tyd, that they are eaten roared, .and 
that they formerly conftituted a princip article of food among 
the Hottentots. But whether he means our plant or the one 
that is fuppofe.d by TIUBERO tO be a yellow variety of.

Correfponds 
Correfponds very nearly with L N N.e u s's original defcrip- 
tion of ProxE^ fpb,ero?ephala, and is not unlike HovxxvYx's 
fi. gure of that plant; it does not however agree with the defcrip~ 
ton .of THvxBrc, and being a native of New-Holland, 
differing from moil of the Cape fpecies in having a long tube 
to the corolla, and limb divided into four equal fegments, is 
undoubtedly diilinEt. We have adopted the name of anemoni- 
folia, though certainly not very appropriate, as it. has been fome 
time known by that name in feveral of our nurferies. 
We were favoured with the fpecimen from which our draw- 
ing was made, by Mr. N^xxwR, Nurferyman, near Vauxha!l, 
a very fuccefsfiil cultivator of many rare articles, who raifed 
it from feeds received from Port-Jackfon. 
Is a greenhoufe plant, and requires the fame treatment as 
the reft of the genus.

There is probably more than one variety of this fpecies 
ol  PROx.^, for it is defcribed by TnvuErta as having 
purpliih corollas; in our plant the ftyle only is purple. The 
corolla, which conrifts of-two unequal petals connefted toge- 
ther at the bale, but eafily feparated, is a greeniih yellow: 
one of the petals bears three anthers a little below the tip; 
the other, which is filiform, only one. There is, however, 
rome little variety in this, fome of the flowers feparating fpom 
taneoufly 
taneoufiy into three and even four petals. The germen is 
enveloped in a brown pappus arifing from the bafe of the 
feed, the ftyle is declined; ftigma acute, though, when'it firt 
efcapes from the corolla, it appears club-thaped, from the 
quantity of pollen that adheres to it. The receptacle is hairy'.. 
The reit of the plant will be eafily underflood from the 
figure. As Scxu^nze.'s figure is not quoted as a fynonym of 
puoa.Afcolymus by WxxlnE,ow or M^u'r, it is probable 
that thefe authors had fome doubts about it. 
Our plant is undoubtedly the fame as his, and whoever 
xvill compare Bosax^^vE's figure with both will, we appre- 
hend, be convinced that they muit all belong to the fame 
fpecies.

This is molt probably the plant originally meant by Lx s s u s, 
.though perhaps afterwards confounded by M uhA¾, in the 
$yfl. Feget,b. We'have little doubt of its being the fame as 
&'fcribed b, V[srNc and Foass.arr, and laid by thein to 
be a very common ornamental plant in the gardens of Egypt, 
bui.perhaps not indigenous there. 
The Botanic Garden at Brompton, where our drawing was 
iaken, is indebted for this beautifill plant to Mils Ga:rs:, 
b'f Lancafifire, a lady eminently'tkilled in delineating botanical 
fubj e6-:ts. 
It is eafily increared by cuttings. Seems to lve a light 
loamy foil. In the trove it flowered through the greater part 
0f the Summer, but Mr. Srs,a¾ thinks it will do ltill 
better'in the greenhoufe. Native country uncertain. 
A fpecimen of a timilar plant, apparently differing in nothing 
but the greate length of the peduncle, is preferred 'in the 
Banlfffian tierbarium, brought by the late Sir Goggz 
SuNro from one of the Cape Verd Iflands. 
The tomentofe axils, mentioned by V^, who defcribed 
from 'Fogs[^'s dried fpccimens, do not appear in our.p!ant. 
lVe have often occafion to regret the alterations made in 
'the fpecific charaer on the authority of dried fpecimens only. 
It is not impoffible, but fome tnouldinefs about the infertion 
of the peduncles, frequently occur_ring 'in fpecimens gathered 
in warm climates, may n this inltance have been miRaken 
for a natural woolliners.

Prof. WiLLnow, who, as appears from the want 
arks by xhich he denotes there circumfiances, 
neither a living nor dried fpecimen of this plant, has yet, 
unwarrantably altered the fpecific chara&er, probably fr 
mere infpe&ion of the figure in the Botanift's Repofitory, 
from a ver imperfect abortive fpecimen. 
The older BotaniRs confidefed this plant as a Pulfati 
fpecies of Anemone, to which it appears to us to be 
more nearly allied than to ATR^GENE alpina, No. 5806 
ß ,york. But, as we have there ftated, the latter plant 
neceffarily feparated from Clematis, the name of Air 
may therefore very well remain to the Cape fpecies, ofw 
there appears to be more than one.

The prefent fpecies and GxDotJs_communis (No. 86'of 
his work) have been ufually reckoned varietie of each other, 
at 
at lealt by the more modern Botanifts; but, as we think, with. 
out reafon; for the differences are {veral and material, the 
proofs of the'one having contributed in any way t6 the pr 
duOion of the other, none. 
Our plant has a fmaller bulb-tuber, flenderer leaves; th. 
larger or upper fegment of its corolla removed from between 
and fufpended over its lateral ones, not enclofed by them as 
in commahis; the upper lateral fegments are about equal to r 
even narrower than the three lower ones, while in that they 
are far broader; the three lower ones are equal among them. 
felves, or the middle may be a little narrower, but in coat. 
nunis this is twice the broadeft; the anthers are alfo longer 
than their filaments in this, which is not the calE there; and 
above all our fpecies may be diftinguifhed from the other by 
its round, folid, fubbaccate feeds, having a thin lamina oœ 
reddilh pulp between their coats, but xvhich is not quite 
thick as in B.aa.aN^, while in that they are dry, chaffy 
flat, edged with a broad membranous wing or border, formed 
of the tunic, which is much larger than its froall cartilaginous 
nucleus, round which its vacant portion is preffed quite flat, 
nearly as in the Cape fpecies. 
Whenever we have fpoken of Gtnovs communis, this 
xvas the plant we had in view; but as the other has been already 
publilhed, under that name, by Mr. CuRxxs, in this work, and 
fince 'it is often impoflible to determine which is meant by 
many Botanifts, we.have thought fit to let the original name 
ß :emain with that, though our plant is doubtlefsly included by 
LxN.us in his books as a variety; or indeed may be the 
6he he intends in his defcription. 
A native of Dauphiny and molt probably of other parts 0 
South Europe. DesvoqrtxNv. s found it in Algiers. It gro. 
among corn and in dry funny expofures on low hills. In our 
colle:tions it is not now nearly fo common as the commt4nis, 
xve found it in the Botanic Garden of Mr. S^xsna¾, Bromp. 
ton, where the drawing was taken  quite hardy, flowering about 
May or June, and propagates abundantly both by feed and offsets, 
We have no doubt but that there are other Eurovean fpeci 
that have merged as varieties of each other under one title, bit 
xvhich we fhall endeavour to dete& and diffinguifh n o 
fiumber. The Bankdan Herbarium contains a feeded fpe 
men, which feems to be our plant, brought from Madeira, b 
Mr. MassoN. According to Z.NNICHELLI (who giv.eq - 
accurate defcription of the plant) our fpecies grows in the 
netJan territory, and varies much in the number of flower.':

parates there two, placing the former in the order of Rubia

feems at firft to have attractted confidetable attention from the 
ingularity of its fringed flowers and fnake-fhaped fruit, which 
 is alfo curious from the rapidity of its growth. Was culti-

According to the Bankfian Herbarium, our plant was brought 
into the Kew Gardens about'-x788, from the Cape; 
received it from the fame place. There is a gardening tra- 
dition that it was likewife received from Japan by the late 
Dr. Foxxzggxx. x.; if fo, this, with belladonna and farnien./is, 
vould make the third fpecies of th.e genus that is common to 
the Cape as x1i as to couniries immenfely dirtant from it; but 
ve confers that we place no reliance whatever on the ftory 
beyond its bare poffibility. .

This froall flowered variety bloffoms as early as Januar 3,

lgo. 574; he had overlooked its pubefcence, which when 
not fearched for, by holding the plant againPt tile light, is 
eafily perceived; but is fo far material as it ferves to confirm 
that-clofe relation to the other varieties fo ftrongly markt,t 
in all its other parts. 
Bulb-tuber round, compreffed, covered with fmooth fibr- 
i:oriaceous, rind-like, brown integuments. Stem  fe 
high, round, jointed, upright, apparently nakedi but clofel 
enve!9ped , tbr more than half its height, by fmooth, clof 
fitting, fieath-like leaves, ending in remote, hort, acute points.

a0t to our own, for an unufual relucqance to enliven 
gardens, on this fide the Alps and Pyrenees, with its,y 
fragrant bloffoms: or if by Chance a tingle root has. been 
found to reward fo far the affiduity of a cultivator, :t ha: 
been but for once, and then frefidy imported; when, m01t 
probably, the flower-bnd had been formed in the country from 
ß ahich it was brought; this either rots immediately after 
effort, or waltes itfelf in the producing an offspring .... 
here continues lierile. Thus rnuch is afcertained as to 
Levant plant, and we fear, the fame will be found to be t 
in regard to that from Madeira, whence our .fpecimen 
brought by Captain GEc of the Navy. As yet no differera 
has been dete&ed between the individuals of this fpecies from 
there mutually remote regions; though the whole habit is f0 v 
peculiar, that, did any really exill, it would not be diffic 
to be difcovered. But we are the more inclined to beli 
them perfe&!y timilar, fince we know, beyond a doubt, 
there countries do poffefs feveral other fpecies of vegetabl 
in common. 
Bulb tunicate white, about the tize of a walnut. Le 
attenuately thong-lhaped, lax, convex outwards, about an i 
or more broad, thining, minutely ciliate, more or lefs cau , 
in native fpecimens t feet in length. The beauty o 
flowers is fingularly increared by the contral of fiaeir la 
umbonate, black-green gerrnen; whence Rt 
found it growing fpontaneoufly in Egypt, near the tow 
Alexandria, narned the plant Mr^o,vaI. Outer 
ments generally bearing a corniform mucro that iffues f 
beneath the teeth. Filaments upright, {lightly patent, t 
fiiorter than the corolla. Getmen turbinate-ipharoid, fii.. 
fixfulcate; llyle llraight, filiform-trigonal. Stigma cap 
trilobate, fubpubefcent. 
CLUSIUS tells us that the bulbs were ufed to be brou 
from Conllantinople to Vienna, and called by the Turks , ß d 
.tlrai or Arabian bulbs. In Italy it was named the .A!. 
drian Lily or eacintho del Paternofl.er. 
Lt,^tcx met with the plant n great abundance o.. 
fandy plains of Barbary efpecially in the country 
Zulmis, where it blooms in April. Dsvotx^'ess fay

The NOLANA proJtrata is a native of Peru, a country to 
which a large proportion of the tender annuals that ornament 
our [lower gardens at the clofe of Summer owe their origin; 
[he flowers are of a pale blue colour beautifully ftreaked 
,ror the centre with veins of dark purple, and when ex4 
-.nded are very pleating to the eye; but unfortunately this 
s only while the fun thines. 
There appears to have been rome difficulty in determining 
he natural order to which this plant belongs; jussxwu con- 
iders it as neareft related to his Borragine,e (afperifolie of 
Ltus) to which order it is alfo added in the pofthumous 
le&ures 
leaures oF Lzus, publifhed by Gs.K., but CRTN.. 
feems to have fatisfaFtorily decided it to belong more properly 
to .tbejblane,e or luride of Lus. In habit it approache 
46 Convolvulus, and particularly to Convolvulus tricolor. 
To have it flower early enough to ripen its feeds, it fhould 
be fown i March or April on a gentle hot-bed with other 
tender anhuals, and may be planted in the open border by the 
latter end of May, or if intended to be kept in a pot, MXLLP. 
direFts that they fhould be planted fingly, when of a proper 
fize, in a fmall pot filled with light earth and plunged into a 
frefh hot-bed to bring them forward. Cultivated by MILLIR 
in the year 76x. 
Has received a vaiety of names from different Botanift 
but that given by Lxsus, from Nola a litde bell, now 
aniverfally prevails. '

The Bankffa, a genus fo named in honour of its firft dif- 
t0verer, the Prefident of the Royal Society, in a voyage 
round the world with Captain Cooke, is very nearly allied to 
Pr0tea, and like that appears to contain a great number of 
fpecies of very various forms and fize. Our prefent plant 
forms a hand0me fnrub, thrives freely, and has flowered in 
feveral colle&ions; our drawing was taken from that of 
E. J. 3,. Woox)voRx), Efq. at Vauxhall, in April 18o2. 
The beauty of the flower conrifts very much in the length 
of the fiyle; which, from the ttigma being long retained 
ithin the anthers, is fancififily bent into a loop: when the 
e0refcence is complete, the petals expand and tkt the ftigma

Ou.r drawing of. this lively annual was taken at Mr. Co 
vXLLz's, King's-Road, CheHa, in September laf, but was firfl: 
railed. in the garden of' Gsoue Huuu:rs, Efq. at Clapham, 
in 8ot, from feeds lent by his Co!le:-or from the Cape of. 
Good Hope. It is an annual of. eaœy culture if. it ripen its 
feeds vhich it will not do in this country unleœs railed on a 
gentle hot bed in the Spring and planted out about the latter 
end of May. 
In œeveral ofthe Lobelias it is not eaœy to determine whether 
the caprule be [uperior or inferior; in rome the calyx adheres 
rnly to the lower part of. the capœule, leaving œo !arg a portion 
ee, that it may be confidered as much a capfula zpera as 
ra. This is remarkably the caœe in this fpecies. 
We have rome œuœpicion that our plant may be the Lobella 
atula o[ Tuuuu'e, but from his very impeffe& defi:ription 
alone, it is impoffible to afcertain this. It agrees with his 
ø.hikerration of œeldom having flowers and leaves at the fame 
Urne, but, as he fays "caulibus patulo diffufis[' his plant would 
not feem to be an annual with only one Llk therefore we 
have not dared to adopt"the name of 
Cwsmns.

Notvithftanding all the pains that Vo Wvv, in jtc- 
'q's C. oll&anea, has taken to eftablifh a diftin&ion between 
Aa0sc. villofa and Cham,ejafme, we confefs ouffelve.s 
' :o hav been at a 1ofs to decide to which of there tpecies our 
pant belongs' nor can we perfuade 0urfelves that the reverend 
author has fatisfa&orily eftablifhed a fpecific diRin&ion between 
them. If really different, we fhould be inclined to conrider our 
.plant as the one intended by Li trs, SCOPOLI, and J^ctrx 
n his Flora Auftriaca, under this title, and that figured in 
Jcu's Colle&anea, as a new fpecies not noticed by. any 
preceding author. 
ß The haitihers of the leaves in the cultivated plant, at leaft, 
 not at all to be depended upon  in one we law laft year at 
u,t-"Lønnxes, the leaves were fo thickly covered with long 
'alte hairs as to give the whole a hoary appearance; in the 
fame this year the leave are of a d'ep green 6oiour, 
comparatively tw hairs; nor are they in all fpecimens equally 
obtufe at the point; thole in the one from which our drawing 
was taken being much more acute than in Mr. 
plants, though undoubtedly the fame fpecies. Haza hys 
it has both obtufe and lanceolate leaves; indeed the whole of 
his excellent defcription leaves no room to doub[ of the identity 
of his plant with ours. 
The fcape is red, very ere, as in the figure in J.cqv's 
Flora Auflriaca, and the umbel, as in that, is furrounded with 
an involucre of 5--7 leaflets, timilar to the leaves but fome. 
,hat narrower. Pedices about the length of the involucre. 
Calyx rather ovate -c panulate than turbinate and deeply 
divided into five conn{ing fegments. Corolla white, but 
marked at the ccntre with a bright red or yellow eye: tb 
perfeMly ovate, yellowifl, clofely embraced by the calyx: 
limb 5-cleli, lgments roundiflh quite entire,. or rometimes 
fiightly emarginate: faux a circular opening, through which 
the five yellow anthers are difcernible, the glands and 
dcfcribed bv H.za and other authors, being very minute 
and not clohng this part. Filaments attached to the Ioer 
part of the tube. Germen orbicular, depreffed at top: 
yle fimrt, em: igma capkate. Scentlefs. TaRe 0f 
leaves flightly and not unpleahntly acid. Soe of the above

McH^vx has neglecqed to mention the parts of North. 
.America in which he found it; from others we learn that it is 
a native of Penl,lvania and Virginia. It was brought to Kew. 
Gardens by Mr. YouNG, in 1765. 
Our drawing was made at Mr. LonnxGE's Nurfery, at 
Hackney, where. it was received from America near twenty 
years ago, during which period the poffeflbr has only len it 
flower'three ot four times, and always about the month of June; 
nor do we fifid that others have been more fortunate. This 
may in fome meaihre account for its never having been figured 
in any work that we are acquainted with. It is thid to require 
ß a mizture of bog-earth and loam, as well as to be placed in 
'a northern afpekt; but we have feen it generally treated as an 
alpine plant, and kept in a frame. 
Its uniting fo firong a refemblance to AsvxouEus luteus 
in habit, ,,vith fo great a difference in characqer, is very re- 
markable in this order of plants. We have not followed M- 
cn^ux in confidering it a diftin genus from 
le himfell has offered no difference of charaer, nor do 
think fuch a reparation requifite. G.

upright, with .yellow pollen; while in that their loculaments 
are parallel, cernuous, retiring from the ffigmas, and filled with 
deep orange pollen; the ftigmas of ,ntherofa are moreover 
toothedly widened towards their bale, which is not the care in 
undulata; but a Rill more prominent difference of the former 
is the beaked elongation of the germen and caprule, of which- 
there is no trace in the latter. Its fcent is faint, not unlike 
that of frefh olives.

Mxc^ux confiders it of the family of Eaxc yu to us its 
natural anity is not very apparent; in the form of the neaar b 
Acuvaa,s comes near lt. 
This very rare and curious plant appears to have been 
known to every European Botani fince Lxsmps, who had 
himfelf but a very imperfe& knowledge from dried fpecimem, 
and the little which he could acquire kom the obfeatiom 
of Mxcn and Gaosovus, until it was dete&ed and more 
fully and accuraely dekribed by Mxcsaux, who gave t the 
name of Eavaoaxza, kom the colour of the root, hich 
he fays is of a deep red, much like tha of Madder. 
To the in&fatigable Mr. Faasa, of Sloane-Squ Chel. 
lea, we are indebted for its introdu&ion into this country. 
He informs us that he nra dikovered it at the foot of the 
mountains at the' back part of the, State of Georgia, in the 
year a786. Not finding tha any Botania here w a all at- 
quainted with the plant, he felt himfelf at liberty to name it 
after the Marquis of BLANDORD; we are forry, by aoring 
the original Linnean appellation, to deprive this nobleman of 
this well-merited honour. Mcnavx found it on the high 
nountains of Carolina, flowering in May. This author 
efers it to Monadelphia, but as it has not the fmalka 
anity ith any other plants of this clafs, we rather choofe t0 
leave it where L,vs had arranged it, although what 
call the tubular ne&ary, to hich the aamens are attached, 
may,' perhaps, without impropriety, be confidered as formed 
by the jun&ion of the filaments. It is probably a hardy her- 
baceous plant, though hila fo fcarce it may be fafeR to heltet 
it through the Winter in the Green-Houfe, by?hich m 
too the old leaves being longer preferved, conunue after 
plant is in {lower, and add much to its beauty. ts eafily pro- 
pagated by means of its creeping root. Should be planted 
bog-earth with a'mixture of fandy loam.

with neither of which our plant exak'tly correfponds, but we

to the order of POLYG^M^ neceffaria and fee'ms to unite fdll 
clofer with POLYMx^, tO which genus M. C^v.xxs has

M. 'VENTENAT, a celebrated French Botanif, has very

arming them into a diffinL genus; but as this was done before, 
y R. A. SALSSUPY, Efq. in the Prodromus of Plants grow- 
_ in his garden at Chapel Allerton, publiihed in s796, we 
tain the name of KNOWLTON-% g!ven by him, in cornroe- 
rotation of Mr. KqOWLXO, an ingenious and fuccefsful 
 cultivators 
cultivator, a contemporary of Mr. PHILIp MILLER, who for. 
roefly had the management of Dr. S}ERaRD'S celebrated 
garden at Eltham; both as having the right of priority and 
being preferable to AN^MENI^, a word formed fi'om the 
Arabic Anahaman, fignifying an Adonis or Anemony. 
Mr. SaLssvRY doubts whether this be really a diftin& 
fpecies from capen. lfs, from which it feems to dffr chiefly in 
bearing an umbel of much fewer flowers and in the nar'ow_ 
nefs of the petals. M. VE4TEN,x:r has given an excellent 
figure of the latter, under the name of AN^XIEN^ coriacea. 
_As all the fpecies are from the Cape, capentis is undoubtedly an 
improper name, but we think ought neverthelefs to be retaihed, 
for we conrider it as a rule, rarely to be deviated from, that 
xvhere it may become neceffary to change the genus, the fpecific 
name before in ufe flaould frill be pre{rved. 
All the fpecies of this genus are very acrid plants, and this 
is laid to be ufed by the inhabitants of the Cape, in the room 
of Cantharides, to blifter the fkin. Is a hardy greenhoufe 
plant, requiring the fame treatment as ATt,XENE capendqs.

ter circle, contilting of the fully expanded florets which [hew 
 ir yellow infides, is of a golden hue; the next, cornpored of 
florets 
fiorets not yet opened and {hewlng thei dark outfides,is of a black 
purple, whilft the centre is white from the young fiorets re- 
maining as yet hiden below the pappus. The ftalk is rome-

It is doubtful whether J.c u  's E v   z   t v M carthagenenfe 
belong to this fpecies or not, otherwife his name would have

We have no doubt but that the fynonym of Sio.E is pro- 
pefiy placed here, as is done by Sw^Ra'z, though applied 
by JAct to his. altimum, which refembles in many relets 
our plant, but is fufficiently difdnfl, as we are fatisfied from a 
careful comparifon of our drawing with J.cqvxN's original 
flecimen in the Bankfian Herbarium. 
It flowered in May laf, as we fuppofe, for the firf time in 
this country, throwing up a branched fcape about two feet

: long ago obferved the diverfity of the ftigma, which is 
erent in altooft every fpecies, and the anthers of all we

's however, though at the bafe of the anther when the flower 
begins to expand, become afterwards the upper part, the 
2ion of the anther being reverfed by the filament becoming

This fpecies i,s the molt beautiful of all the gent, s; flowers

The fingular ftruEture both of the flower and the leaves o[ 
his plant has long made it an obje of curiofity, but the di{: 
culty of cultivation continues to render it Rill a rarity. in this 
country, 
country, though a common inhabitant of the fwamps.in North, 
America from Carolina to Florida. The fingularity of the 
flower conrifts principally in the ftigma, which is fpread over 
the parts of fruification like an umbrella. Between the angles 
of this umbrella the flaccid petals hang down fomewhat in the 
manner as a woman's.leg hangs ?ver the pummel of the fide- 
faddie, which we tippo{ was the origin of the name given it 
by the firft Englifh lettiers. 
The leaves being hollow tubes capable of holding water, 
LxN/sus ingenioufly confidered this ctrious conformation 
as a metamorphofis of the leaves of a Nymphaa into a 
form fit for receiving and retaining rain wath'. And we are 
told that "the hollow parts of the legvs have always water 
"ftanding in themy and the top or ear is fuppofed, in hot dry 
"weather, to fhrink, and fall over the mouth ofthe tube, and 
' ferve as a. lid to prevent the. exhalation of the water. In 
"great droughts birds and other. animals repair to there 
"plants." There would be more probability in this 
pothefts if there 'plants' were ound growing in dry places, 
but they will not live except in wet fituations, where the roots 
can readily find water without the aid of there fuppofed re- 
fervoirs. In the cultivated plant we rarely find any water in 
the leaves; nor does it appear that the appendix at the end in 
this fpecies ever cl(ffes upon the opening, fb that the real pur- 
pofe of this curious conftru61ion is probably not yet difcovered. ' 
In fome of the fpecies a great number of infers find a prifon, 
fom which it feems they cannot eafily extricate themfelves, but 
vhat purpofe the death of thefe can ferve in the economy of this 
plant, or in any other of the fly-traps, is as yet totally unknown. 
Mzzzx recommends the pots to be kept conftantly in 
water, and only protek2ed from froff by a glafs-frame in the 
winter; but '-we more uœually fee them kept in an airy part 
of the Rove. In a manufcript journal of the late Mr. Tio,$ 
Cozixso, he remarks' having feen the Sarracenia (but 
whether the yellow or purple is not noted) flowering in the' 
Open air in the greater perfection he ever law, in the wet rock- 
¾/6rk at the Duke of Axoz's at Dunkeld. 
The figure in C,xs¾'s Natural Hiftory of Carolina differs 
fo materially from our plant, efpecially in the {hape of the ap- 
pendage of the leaves, as to lead to a fufpicion that it belongs to 
a different-fpecies.

MILLER enumerates two varieties; the prefent plant, which 
fays is a native of Virginia, and a finallet 'and much 
enderer fort, native of Carolina. The laiter rarely if ever 
::ccurs in our gardens at the prefent time; but the brmer is 
IOœ 
not uncommon, and if planted in a warm fheltered fituation, 
and trained up a wall, paling, or lattice, .is a very defttable plant 
both for its foliage and flowers, which latter are produced ,in 
June and continue in fucceflion till the autumn. 
It has not however the pleating fcent of the other Honey- 
fuckles, from which it differs in having nearly a regular 
corolla, except that one of the fegments is a little feparated 
from_the reR by being more bent back. 
Propagated by laying down the young branches, /hich readily 
take root. Cultivated by Mr. JoHq TR.,r)scA, Jun.

the 
the flower appears to have five rounc] openings at the margin 
of the tube. Net?aryfive roundifh membranous ciliated fcales, 
to the points of which the filamen:s are att-ched. Stamens five, 
of very fhort dnration, filaments thread-like, anthers linear, 
'pollen .verdigrife-green. Ovary five-celled; ftyle ereS, 
ftigma five-cleft: legmerits petal-like, ovate, patent, deep blue, 
laifpid underneath. Caprule ere, hifpid, obfoletely ten-angled, 
inferior, crowned with the perilRent fegments of the calyx, 
above which the caprule riles in a conical form conrifting of 
five lanceolate valves, which feparate, when the feed is ripe, 
down to the calyx. Thus the feed is difcharged at the apex 
of the capfule, and not, as ufu-al in the genus Campanula, by 
lateral pores. Seeds, flat fiaining, many. 
The different conftruion of the organs of fruificati0n 
in this plant, perhaps may be thought fnfficient to fcparate 
it from the genus CAlve ur.,; but as there can be no doubt 
of its being the fame as that figured by Cosr, and re- 
ferred to by Lx'tqtqvs, we leave it as we found it. 
It frequently happens that the ftamens in this genus are of 
very tranfient duration; this is fo remarkably the care in this 
fpecies, that if not examined before or immediately after the 
opening of the flower, they will not be found; and the under 
furce of the ftigm'a being at this time loaded with pollen, 
may very eafily be taken for five anthers attached to the fligma. 
.And we were a6'tually deceived by this appearance, in the 
firft fpecimen we examined, which had but one flower, in 
which there was no other fign of filament or anther. The 
flowers vary confiderably in tize, and under fome circumftances 
are never expanded, but ripe feed will neverthelefs be pro- 
duced. 
We were favoured with fpecimers of this plant from Meffrs.

both laft year and the prefent from feeds imported from the 
Cape.

,. This 
This is certainly not a plant { much beauty, but will re- 
commend itfelf to the Botanifl. by the very fingular conftruc. 
tion-ofits flowers. It- is truly, as the name imports, a lover 
of water, and will not thrive at all unlefs the':pot containing 
it is plunged deep in water; bu[fo treated and kept in an airy 
part of the flove, it grew to a very great fize and produced 
plenty of ripe feeds, at Mr. WoowvoRn's at Vauxhall where 
our drawing Was taken in June laft. 
It is a native of New-Holland, of China, and Cochinchina,

This is the defcription of the hermaphrodite flower, nor

with-a milky juice. 
RuvvHus remarks, that there is a variety vith fcarlet 
flowers, the root of which is lefs bittea:. 
The Ovxoxxxuiferpentinum is fuppofed to produce the 
LGt4u Cox. uBwxt4u, a medicine formerly of great cele- 
brity in the EaR for the cure of the bite of venomous ferpents 
and of malignant difeafes. 
Our drawing was taken from a plant lent us by Mr. Lox- 
XGES of Hackney. It is a native of the EaR-Indies, requires 
.the heat of the bark Rove, but does not like fun. In a hot 
fun in the open air it becomes flaccid and appears as if dead, 
but is reRored to vigour by the cool of the evening. Ru- 
,xxu has made the fame obfervation in its native foil.

ciliee, which ftand nearly at right angles with the furface of 
the leaf, and lock into each other when the lobes clofe. In 
about the middle of each lobe are three very fmall fpines or ' 
briftles. Thefe fmall fpines are mentioned and figured by 
ELLXS, and fuppofed by bim to affift in defiroying the entrap- 
ped animal; but that they are the only irritable-points, and 
that any other prt of the leaf may be touched with impunity, 
was difcovered by our draughtfman, 'Mr. EDw^a,, feveral 
years ago, when taking a firetch of the plant flowering at Mr. 
LxvTt.v's, Mile-End, and has been fince repeatedly confirmed. 
The fame obfervation was made, without knowing it had been 
previoufly noticed, bY our friend Nit, Ct^-.-. Ko, 
In warm weather the lobes are fully expanded, and at this 
time particulaely are highly irritable, and if a fly or other in- 
feO't light upon. them they fuddenly clofe together, and the 
poor animal is entrapped. The fcape riles in the centre of the 
leaves, is round, from fix inches to a foot and half higl, bear. 
ing at the top a coryrob of flowers on long peduncles, under 
each of which is an ovate acuminate braCqe. Calyx perilRent, 
of five lanceolate leaves. Corolla five-petaled, white, Rreaked: 
petals oblong-obcordate, romewhat puckered at the tip, do not 
fall off but'roll up from the point to the bale and remain. 
8tamers about twenty, never fo few as ten: filaments not half

one-celled, flat at the top. Seeds black, fiining, obovate, 
very acute at the lower end, half buried in the cavities of 
the honeycombed receptacle. 
Great numbers of this very fingular plant have b.een culti- 
vated both this and the laR year by Mr. SaLxsatsRY, at the 
Botanic Garden, Brompton, where our drawing was taken. 
Many of thefe have flowered and produced ripe feeds in an 
airy ftove. They fhould be planted in bog eaith mixed with 
,hite land, and the pot kept i'n a pan of water. 
The plant may be kept very well in a window of a room 
that has a warm afpe& if covered with a glafs cylinder open at 
top, and has been known to flourifh better with this treatment 
than when nutfed in a Rove.
