shrubs; amongst them, the Azaleas hold a distinguished place; some for
the beauty, others for the fragrance, of their blossoms: the present
species far surpasses all of them for both. It is a native of the coast
of the Black Sea, or Pontus Euxinus, through the whole of its extent, on
the Asiatic side, from the city of Trebisonde; from whence its trivial
name. That a plant of such extreme beauty, and sweetness, should so long
have been a stranger to our European gardens, though known to, and
described by, so many botanical travellers, must seem matter of wonder;
but still it is an uncontested fact. Mons. Tournefort, in his Voyage to
the Levant, has given an ample description of it, under the title of
Chamærhododendros Pontica maxima, mespili folio, flore luteo; where he
says, it grows to the height of seven or eight feet, and that the
flowers are of a most exquisite flavour. Dr. P. Pallas, in his Flora
Rossica, has likewise figured, and described it, under the name it here
bears; but apparently his drawing was made from a dried specimen, as the
brilliancy of the flower is by no means preserved; but it is to him we
are indebted for this fine plant. In his voyage to the Crimea and
countries adjacent, in 1792, he procured the seeds of this, amongst many
other valuable and rare plants; parcels of most of which were sent by
him to Messrs. Lee and Kennedy. Hammersmith; by whom plants were raised
of it, and many other sorts, the next year. It is a deciduous shrub,
extremely hardy, and blows early in the spring; is propagated, like
other Azaleas, by layers and seeds; grows best in peat earth, with a
small portion of loam.

Of all the varied genera of plants which decorate that mine of botanical
riches, the Cape of Good Hope, and the adjacent country, no one stands
more conspicuous than Protea. Few travellers who have not noticed the
singularity and beauty of their foliage; indeed they are of such extreme
brilliancy, that no one, however indifferent to botanical researches,
can pass them unobserved; forests of them being so numerous, the Protea
Argentea, or Silver Tree, produces almost the only wood of the country;
growing to the height of thirty or forty feet. But although the leaves
of this numerous tribe are mostly beautiful, many of their blossoms are
but trifling, except in the eye of the botanist: the Protea Formosa,
however, is one amongst many which stand as powerful exceptions: the
great beauty of this charming plant has induced us to adopt the trivial
name it here bears. It has been introduced to the Royal Gardens at Kew
by Mr. F. Masson, botanical collector to his present Majesty; from whose
liberal patronage the science of Botany has of late been brought into
such general estimation. This species, from the downy character of the
whole plant, is apt to damp, if not kept in an airy situation in winter;
though the warmth of a common greenhouse is quite sufficient for its
protection. It is with difficulty propagated by cuttings; and has not
hitherto perfected its seeds in this kingdom. Our drawing was made from
a plant which flowered in the nursery of Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, in the
year 1796, about the month of August.

The Correa is a native of Port Jackson, in New Holland, and commonly
termed a Botany-bay plant: it was first raised in the year 1793, from
seeds which were given by Sir Joseph Banks, Bart. to J. Vere, Esq. of
Kensington-gore, and from a plant in whose collection our figure was
taken. It receives its generic title from Mr. Joseph Correa de Serra, a
native of Portugal; a gentleman of very distinguished talents as a man
of science in general, and botany in particular. Of this genus there are
as yet but few species discovered; the Alba grows to a shrub of the
height of four or five feet, woody and tough; both stem and leaves are
covered with a thick flannelly substance, particularly the under side of
the leaves, which gives the whole plant a whitish appearance. It
continues to flower through the months of April, May, and June; may be
propagated easily by cuttings, should be kept as a hardy greenhouse
plant, and thrives best in peat earth.

2. The Pointal, and Seed-bud; one of the divisions of the Summit magnified.
3. A ripe Seed, natural size, in its tunic.
That colour bears the character given it by Sir Isaac Newton, our
present subject (as did the prism) adds another proof. The Gladiolus
versicolor might, like the camelion, equally be a subject of contention,
to those who have seen its blossom at different periods of the same day;
for, strange to tell! it is brown in the morning, and continues to
change from that colour till it becomes light blue by night. During the
night it regains its pristine colour; and this change is effected
diurnally, whilst the flower is in its vigour; but upon the decay, the
change is less powerful, gradually fixing in a dark brown; which,
however, does not take place in less than nine or ten days. This is the
only flower, we have ever noticed, to regain the colour that has once
forsook it. A drawing was began about ten o’clock in the morning, but
before it was finished the plant was so totally altered in colour that
there was an absolute necessity for taking a second day to complete it.
The bulbs of this plant were sent from the Cape of Good Hope by J.
Pringle, Esq. of Madeira, in 1794, amongst many others, to Messrs. Lee
and Kennedy, of Hammersmith, where the drawing was made. It flowers
about the month of June; is increased by the root or seed; and thrives
best in peat earth.

The Echium Grandiflorum is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, was sent
from thence by Mr. F. Masson to the Royal Gardens at Kew, about the year
1791. The superior beauty of this species to the rest of its congenors
makes it considered as a valuable greenhouse plant, although its
intrinsic merit is sufficient to ensure it that character; the rich
green of its foliage, contrasted to the colour of the blossoms, gives to
each a singular brilliancy. It is rather a tender greenhouse plant,
grows about two feet high, and becomes naked at the lower part of the
stem; is with difficulty propagated by cuttings, seldom perfecting its
seeds; thrives best in rich earth, and flowers in April and May. The
drawing was made from a plant in the collection of the Marquis of
Blandford, Bill-hill, Berks.

This genus of Plants must class with Linnæus’s natural order of
Succulents, nearly approaching Crassula in habit; but as the Sexual
System is the basis of our theory, we cannot admit it under that or any
other yet described genus; we have therefore named it after James Vere,
Esq. long and well known for his extended and liberal patronage to the
professors and cultivators of the science; in whose beautiful and select
collection at Kensington Gore, the present species, has for the first
time, flowered in this kingdom. Mr. Anderson the gardener informs us,
that this plant is a native of Sierra Leone; from whence it was sent to
England, by Professor Eld. Elfzelius, in the year 1793; that he has
treated it as a tender hot-house plant, keeping it constantly in the tan
bed, by which means he has made it flower; but from every appearance of
the plant, we should be led to think the common treatment of hot-house
Succulents would answer for this. It is easily propagated by cuttings;
grows to the height of three or four feet, having when in flower the
appearance of a middle sized shrub; blows in the winter months, and
thrives best in rich mould.

The Goodenias are all natives of New Holland, and received their generic
name of Dr. J. E. Smith, President of the Linnæan Society; in honour of
the Rev. Dr. Goodenough, whose valuable dissertation on the British
species of Carex, does him the highest honour, as a botanist. The
species of this genus (as yet discovered) are ten, from which we may
infer that they are numerous; those only yet introduced to Britain are,
the lævigata, ovata, and the present species; the others are described
by the President, in the second volume of the Linnæan Transactions. This
plant, though not to be ranked amongst the handsomest productions of
that country, so replete with novelty, is yet possessed of sufficient
merit to give it a place in our collections of greenhouse plants,
flowering about the month of August; delighting most in an airy
situation, and light soil. It is easily propagated by cuttings. Our
figure was taken from a plant which flowered at the Hammersmith nursery,
in 1797; where it had been raised from seeds, communicated by Colonel
Paterson, then commanding at Port Jackson; to whose assiduous labours in
collecting seeds, &c. the cabinets and collections of our natural
historians are so very much indebted.

This fine species of Ixia, a native of the Cape of Good Hope, was
introduced to our collections about the year 1795, by Messrs. Lee and
Kennedy, nurserymen; they having raised it from seeds received by them,
from the Royal Gardens at Vienna; is certainly amongst the tenderest of
its tribe: the root, being extremely subject to injury by wet, it should
be dried as soon as it has done flowering. It is one of the earliest
Ixias in bloom, being in high perfection about the middle of April; is
increased but slowly by the root, thriving best in very sandy peat, or
sand only. The figure here given was drawn from a plant which flowered
at the nursery, Hammersmith, in 1798, for the first time.

In the Sert. Anglic. of Mons. L’Heritier, this species of Cineraria has
been described and figured under the specific character of Cruenta, from
the botanic garden at Kew; where, according to the catalogue, it was
first introduced by Mr. F. Masson, from the Canary Islands, about 1777;
and by which specific it has hitherto been titled: but from what
appearance or part of the plant, he could denominate it bloody, will not
be easy to determine; from our idea of colour, he might as well have
named it blue. Finding, therefore, a specific character certainly more
fixed in the leaf, we have taken the liberty of altering Cruenta to
Aurita; though that would not have been done, (as nothing is more
contrary to our sentiments, than altering any published name) if there
had been any glimpse of affinity to the plant in that title. This is
unquestionably the handsomest species of Cineraria yet known, growing to
the height of near three feet if encouraged. The specimen from which
this figure was taken, and which was sent last March to the author, by
Mr. James Colville, King’s road, Chelsea, had attained that size. By
night it is extremely fragrant, continuing its blossoms from the month
of February, till August; seeding abundantly, by which it may be
propagated, producing many varieties; or by the suckers which are thrown
up from the roots; thriving best in light mould or peat.
