No
one can view the prefent fpecies of Erica, without perceiving a manifeft fimilarity betwixt it and the ampullacea already figured; the flowers of each are fimilar in form, and not very different in fize and colour in the retorta the ltripes of the ampullacea are wanting, the bloffoms of both are highly vifcous, the fegments of the corolla arc more pointed in the retorta, the braclege in the ampullacea are larger, more numerous, and more highly coloured; in the foliage the two plants differ very obvioufly, the leaves of the retorta being all of them recurved, or bent back, whence its name; each of them is alfo terminated by a long awn or fpine viewed with a magnifying glafs, they appear edged with hairs ; but furely thefe are not fufficiently ftrong to juftify Thunberg's term of ;

This fpecies has long fince been defcribed by Monti, in the Swedifh Tranfactions, and more lately in the SuppL PL of the younger Linnaeus, who makes it a native of the Cape

In this genus of plants, the leaves have a peculiarity of growth, which gives birth to its botanic name of Zygophyllum t and which, literally tranflated, would be Yokeleaf; twelve fpecies are enumerated in Prof. Gmelin's edition of Linn. Syfi: Nat. the plant here reprefented comes neareft to the Zyg. Morgsana figured in Dillenius's Hort. Elth. and for which it has by fome been miuaken ; but the characters in
which the two plants differ, are fo very ftriking, that we have no doubt of being jultified in making it a fpecies. The leaves of Morgsana are flefhy, nearly feffile, and fcentlefs thole of our plant are not flefhy, Rand on long footftalks, and diffufe widely a flrong foxy fmell, like that of ;

Imperial; the flowers of the Morgsana are fmall, thofe of the infitave large and ornamental, when the plant is healthy; thefced-veflel of the Morgsana has four wings, ours not the leaft appearance of any : other differences, it would be fuperfluous to point out.
This fpecies is mofl probably a native of the Cape, as it accords with the fhort defcription of Boer have, above referred to; the nrecife time of its being introduced to this country, we have not been able to learn with certainty; it is not mentioned either in the Diet, of Mr. Miller, or the Hort.

The
public are indebted to
for the introdu&ion of this
Mr. Evans of the Jndia-Houfe, plant from China, where it is a
native. It flowered laft year, at different periods, for the firft time, in
many
collections near
London;
this irregularity
of its blow-
ing was occasioned, we prefume by its being kept in different degrees of heat, in the ftoves of fbme, and the green-houfes of others; Mr. Thomson, Nurferyman of Mile-End, at the clofe of the year, had it growing very luxuriantly in the open ground; but the very fevere winter of 1796-1797, in
which the thermometer
IJrompton was three degrees below Q, destroyed it nevei thelefs, there is no doubt but it will bear the cold of our ordinary winters, and thrive better in the open ground, in a moift fituation, than in the ftove, or green-houfe, in either of which, however, *it will flower very well; and, where the plant is luxuriant, continue to do fo for a confiderable length of time, the bloffoms being numerous, and unfolding gradually in a ftrong plant at Mr. Colvi ll's, Nurferyman, King's-Road, we counted feven bloffoms expanded at one time on its different branches. It differs from all other known Iris's, in having a root perfectly of the creeping kind, fending out fhoots to a confiderable diftance, by which it is rendered very eafy of propagation its flowers, in form and colour, come neareft to thole of Iris criftata, and have a confiderable degree of fragrance. ;

The

To prevent ;
fimilar miftakes in future, it will be neceffary to ceafe applying the term Syringa to this plant altogether.
This
hardy, and readily propagated by fuckers; it ufually flowers in May, but it is only in feafons unufually mild and favourable, that its bloffoms antf foliage are feen in perfection, as they are very apt to be disfigured by the cold winds which, more or lefs, prevail at that time; it is only when gently forced that its beauty is fully difplayed, and for that flirub
is
purpofe it is a fhrub often u fed. It was cultivated by Gerard in Clusius obferves, 1597. that he never faw it in a wild ftate, nor had he been able to determine whether it was known to the ancients; Linn^us feems to have had his doubts as to its original place of growth, by putting " Habitat Veronae" with a quere ; Miller fays, where it naturally grows is uncertain ; Mr. Aiton defcribes it as a native of the South of Europe.

It is chiefly to the
decoration of rock-work, that this diminutive fpecies is applicable ; for that purpofe it has all the deniable requifites, being hardy, of ready growth, and forming a thick tuft of foliage, from which arife numerous flowering ftcms, four to fix inches high, fuftaining heads of flowers rather large in proportion to the plant, of a lively red colour, thefe appear in May, continue about three weeks, and are followed by feed-veflels with us, which contain abundance of ripe feeds ; by thefe the plant may eafily be propagated, ÂŤ

Mr. Fairbairn has long cultivated this rare fpecies of Campanula at the Apothecaries Garden, Chelfea, where he firft raifed it from feeds, given him by Mr. Hudson, in 1788, who received them from Spain. According to authors, this plant is found wild in rocky fituations, in Syria, Sicily, and Spain. Though not a fhewy plant, it is both rare and curious; feedling plants, when old enough to flower, throw out on all fides procumbent flowering items, which die away after ripening the feeds, and are fucceeded by others as this procefs goes :
on, the ftem, arifing from the centre of the plant, {lowly and gradually acquires a dwarfifh height, and becomes fhrubby.
We it
is
have no doubt but, where the plant grows naturally wild, mud form a beautiful covering to the rocks on which it found.
Being a native of countries much warmer than our own,
it
ncceffary to make it a grcen-houfe plant ; it will bear even the warmth of the ftove, and flower and ripen its feeds the more freely for it. On a fhelf, in the front of the ftove at Chelfea, Mr. Fairbairn has it flowering and feeding, Spring,

The
petals are curioufly crifped or curled,
each petal refembling, in miniature, a leaf of fome of our varieties of cabbage: Kjempfer compares them to the mefentery. The parts of fructification in this plant vary greatly in point of number, and have no fmall affinity to thofe of the genus

Kew. to fettle the different Rofes, cultivated in our gardens in his time in this difficult bufinefs, as well as in the whole of his molt ufeful work, he was affifted (as he acknowledges in his dedication) by men more learned than himfelf we may confider therefore his account, as far as it goes, to be as perfect as can reafonably be expected in a matter of fuch ;
intricacy.
There
are two rofes (from the
names they
bear, evidently
of French origin, Meaux being the name of a town in France, and pronounced as if written Mo) introduced to our gardens fince the time of Miller, and held in very high eftimation, viz. the greater and fmaller Rofe de Meaux of the Hort. Kew. confidered by Mr. Aiton as varieties of the Rofa provincialis, the latter of thefe (the one here figured) is generally known by Nurferymen and others as the Pompone Rofe we received it as fuch from Mr. Mallet, of Guernfey, a gentleman very converfant in plants, very fond of their culture, and to whofe ;
kindnefs
we
are
much
indebted. This rofe from its root throws out numerous (terns, which rarely exceed a foot or a foot and a half in height ; they are ufually ftraight, rigid, and very prickly; the flowers are fmaller than thofe of any other double rofe, generally of the fize of thofe reprefented on the plate, and particularly diftinguifhed by the brilliant colour of the eye or central petals; a flower of this fort juft on the point of expanfion is fuperlativelv beautiful.
Mr. Aiton makes it a variety of the Rofa provincialis ; we nave cultivated it many years in our garden at Brompton, and have always found and to differ in many de

principal characters,
from the greater Rofe
author.
It requires
an open fituation, a pure air, and a light foil is improved by manure, and watering in dry Summers. Its flowers are produced in June, and the plant is increafed by luckers, which are not very plentifully produced, nor extend to any length.
The
roots fhould not be divided three in once oftener than years if the old wood be cut down every year, after the plant has done blowing, this rofe will throw out more vigorous fhoots and bloffom more freely. ;

This plant, a hardy herbaceous one, is a native of Virginia, and has been introduced to this country within thefe few years. Left to itlelf its Items trail on the ground, the young fhoots are of a reddifh hue, and flightly villous, the leaves are edged with hairs, fubulate, oppofite, recurved, and. rather flefhy,
producing others from their alae, becoming as the plant grows old of a brownifh colour, which renders the plant in fome degree unfightly ; the flowers are produced from one to three or four in an umbel, drooping before they expand, the calyces are villous, the flowers pale purple or flefh colour, enlivened by an eye of dark but brilliant purple difpofed in a liar-like form, antherae yellow. Flowers the beginning of May ; the .flowers are extremely pretty, but delicate, requiring the flielter of
a hand-glafs or
greenhoufc during the period of their bloffoming, which is of lhorter duration than in raoft of the other fpecies. This plant fhould be renewed frequently by cuttings, which ftrike readily; it may be fuffered to grow either in its natural procumbent way, or be made to appear to more advantage
by training

to a flick.

Plants are frequently kept in green-houfes that would fucceed better, and blow more freely, with a lefs tender treatment thus this fpecies of Phlox, which in mild winters would live

The
Alyffum montanum is a fmall procumbent plant, of the perennial kind, with hoary leaves curioufly emboffed with little
prominent points, having the fummits of its branches about the end of April covered with a profufion of bright yellow flowers which ufually go off without producing any perfeB feed, though in its wild ftate it is fufficiently fertile, as is evident from ProfefTor Jacquin's figure. Through want of feeds, it may be increafed without difficulty from cuttings; requires the fame treatment as other rare Alpine plants.

To
Mrs. Gosling, of Whitton, near Hounflow, appertains the honour of raifing this fpecies of Xeranthemum, and of thereby introducing one of the moft dekaable plants that ever decorated the Britifh green-houfe ; this was about the year 1795, laft Summer (1797) it flowered with Meffrs. Grim\vood and Wykes, Nurierymen, Kenfmgton, and again much ftronger this prefent feafon, there being at leaft twenty bloffoms on a fingle plant of it. This is not one of thofe beauties, which meteor-like, dazzle the eye and vanifh, but one which continues to difplay its charms from the time of its firft budding to the full expanfion of its bloffoms, a period of two or three months ; in any of thefe its different ftates, if gathered, and carefully dried, it will make a moft valuable addition to fimilar plants for decorating apartments in the Winter. It is a native of the Cape, from whence Mrs. Gosling
obtained its feeds, flowers in May and inbe may and June, creafed by cuttings ; in this way' Mr. Wykes has fucceeded in propagating it but as there are few that equal him in a knowledge of exotics, fo there are few that exercife the fame ingenuity in their culture, or equal him in fuccefs. :

Our

with the Linum quadrifolium of it is regarded at the royal garden, Kew, where we faw it in flower this fpring, 1798; it agrees alio with the defcription of Ray, fo far as relates to its fpecific character, quoted by Linn^us, but the flowers of Ray's plant are defcnbed as blue, it is molt probably therefore the quadrijolium of Linn* us, but not of Ray.
