Though it may be considered by some, as deviating from the botanical

rule we prescribed to ourselves, at the outset of this work, not to

figure any flower, but what could be systematically ascertained; double

flowers, &c. having lost those constituent characters necessary to the

Sexual System; yet having seen this most delightful plant in bloom last

year, the temptation was too powerful to be resisted, for giving a

figure of it in the Botanist’s Repository. This fine variety of the

Camellia, was first imported from China about the year 1793, by Captain

Connor of the Carnatic East-indiaman, for the gardens of the late I.

Slater, Esq. a gentleman of most indefatigable spirit, for the

introduction of new plants to this kingdom; indeed, it is to him we owe

most of the plants received from China within these few years; he having

procured a catalogue to be printed of all the described Chinese plants

in that language, with the descriptions translated, and by various hands

transmitted it to that country. The finest plants in this kingdom, of

the double white Camellia, are now in the collection of Sir Joseph

Banks, Bart. P.R.S. This, like the others of this genus, we may consider

of sufficient hardiness to resist our winters; being a native of the

Japanese isles, where, as well as in China, it was seen by Thunberg. As

yet (from its scarcity) that cannot be ascertained; but from the easy

method by which it is propagated by cuttings, we are in hopes it soon

may. It is at present cultivated as a hot-house plant, where certainly

it will be always seen in the greatest perfection; the flowers being of

so delicate and brilliant a white, their beauty is easily destroyed,

even by watering. Flowers in the autumnal months, and thrives best in

rich loam.

The Crassula Odoratissima is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, was

introduced to our gardens about the year 1794, but did not flower till

1796. The scent of this plant at night is so very powerful, that by many

it may be deemed almost offensive, though by others it is considered as

most agreeable; the flavour is nearly affined to the tuberose. This is

not a very shewy plant, growing about a foot high, and flowers from

March, till May or June. It is most easily propagated by cuttings, lives

in the common greenhouse with very little care, and in almost any sort

of earth. This figure was taken at Messrs. Lee and Kennedy’s,

nurserymen, Hammersmith, where the plant was first raised.

4. A Seed in its coat.

This most desirable Gladiolus, is not a perfect novelty in the

greenhouse; although extremely scarce, it has been introduced to us

constantly from the Cape of Good Hope, but from its great delicacy has

been repeatedly lost. The plants now in England, have been imported from

Holland, from the collection of Messrs. Voorhelm and Co. who about the

year 1793, purchased the largest collection ever formed at the Cape,

from a Frenchman who had been many years resident there. The Gladiolus

ringens about mid-day has the flavour of violets so powerfully, that a

single plant is sufficient to scent a whole greenhouse. It is with

difficulty preserved from rotting at the root; therefore should be grown

in very sandy peat, and should be exposed to dry as soon as the flower

is gone. Is propagated by the root, or by seed, which may be procured by

great care not to over-water the bulb after flowering; but herein there

is great danger.

herbaceo.

Geranium, the fruit-stalks supporting many flowers; cups of one

leaf; the leaves round, sawed, and harsh, with very long

foot-stalks; stem herbaceous.

REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.

1. The Empalement cut open, to shew its tubular shape to its base.

2. The Chives, and Pointal, natural size.

3. The Pointal, magnified.

This truly elegant species of Geranium was introduced to us from the

Cape of Good Hope, in the year 1795; being raised from seeds, received

from thence, by Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, in whose collection it flowered

for the first time this year, about the latter end of May, and from

which specimen this figure was taken. It is one of those that have in

general seven fertile tips, and, therefore, must be placed under Mr.

L’Heritier’s genus Pelargonium, by those who follow his new arrangement.

It is a hardy plant, and requires only a common greenhouse for its

protection, where it will seed; which seems to be the readiest mode of

propagating it, as it produces but very few branches; thriving best in

rich earth.

1. The two sheaths of the Empalement.

2. A Blossom cut open, to shew its tubular character, and the insertion

of the Chives at the mouth.

3. The Pointal complete, one of its Summits magnified.

The singularity of colour exhibited in this very fine species of Ixia,

the extraordinary length of the spikes, the flowers of which are mostly

all expanded at the same time; and which grow sometimes to the length of

a foot, or more; will certainly entitle it to a place in every

collection of exotics. We are indebted to the Hollanders for this plant,

as they first introduced it from the Cape; and it is from them we

received it but a few years since. It is amongst the hardiest, and

easiest propagated of this genus; requiring a small degree of heat when

near blowing, to make the flowers expand with lustre; thriving best in

peat earth; propagating itself by the bulb; and flowering during the

months of May and June.

2. A Chive (magnified).

3. The Shaft, and its Summit (magnified).

4. A ripe Berry (natural size).

Numerous are the difficulties which occur in arranging plants according

to any yet invented system; and although the sexual fails in the fewest

instances, yet that is sometimes the case. The plant before us, although

in habit, fruit, &c. seemingly perfectly allied to Vaccinium, and, from

which characters, it has been placed under that genus, yet we doubt

whether if Linnæus had examined the flower himself, (as he has accepted

it under the name it here bears, and we have no doubt of its being the

plant intended;) he would not have classed it in Octandria; for

certainly it has in every instance ten chives, with the border of the

blossom of five segments; the threads attached to the blossom. But, as

it is the professed intention of this work as little as possible to

confuse, by the introduction of new names for plants already known by

established, and generally accepted ones; though erroneous from

incorrectness, or otherwise, in the author who first published them; we

shall attempt an alteration but rarely, and that cautiously, or for very

glaring reasons; being thoroughly convinced of the difficulty of

retaining only one name for each plant. The Vaccinium Arctostaphyllus is

a native of the island of Madeira, where it grows to a considerable

height: it has not been many years cultivated in our gardens; having

been introduced to us first by Mr. F. Masson about the year 1786. The

winters in common of this climate are too severe for it, therefore

should be protected, although it will survive a mild one: it is best

preserved in a pot, and kept as a greenhouse plant, where it is very

ornamental; flowering about the months of July and August; thriving best

in light mould, or peat; and is propagated by cuttings, or the seed,

which it produces in abundance.

3. A Wing, or side petal of the Blossom.

4. The Keel, or lower petals of the Blossom.

6. The Seed-vessel, attached to the Empalement.

The Borbonia cordata, with its various synonyms, may be found in the

second volume of Linnæus’s Species Plantarum, page 994, from whence our

specific character is copied. This plant, as well as most of the genus,

are subject to lose their leaves from the lower part of the stem, which

gives it rather a naked appearance when not in flower; but that is amply

compensated by the very handsome appearance of its magnificent bunch of

yellow blossoms. It grows to the height of three or four feet, producing

but few branches. This figure was taken from a plant sent to the author,

about the beginning of July, in full bloom, by Mr. Colville, nurseryman,

of the King’s Road, Chelsea; who informs him that he raised it about the

year 1795, from seeds which he had received from the Cape of Good Hope.

The Borbonias are mostly hardy greenhouse plants, and delight in light

earth; either peat, or very light dungy earth: they are in general

difficult to propagate by cuttings; the surest method is by the seed,

which they for the most part perfect in this climate.

mouth flattened.

REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.

1. The Empalement.

2. A Blossom cut open, to shew the insertion of the Chives.

3. The Pointal (natural size).

Although this species of Antholyza is not new in our gardens, yet has it

been seen in flower but by few, as it blows so seldom; though the roots

are by far the largest of any of the genus. The bulb from which this

figure was taken, had received a little assistance from heat early in

the season, and by that means was (apparently) brought into flower. It

is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, has much the appearance of a

common flag in the foliage, growing to the height of three feet, or

more; requires the same earth as Ixias, propagates by the root, or seed,

and flowers in the month of June; at which time a drawing was made from

a plant then in bloom at the Hammersmith nursery.

There are few genera of plants more deserving our notice than Diosma;

the fragrance of the leaves of most of the species, and the beauty of

the flowers of others, has rendered them so common, (being easily

propagated by cuttings) that few collections but have a number of the

different species. They are all very hardy greenhouse plants, the

present species excepted; this, requiring a dry situation, and rather

more warmth than the rest. It was sent to the royal gardens at Kew,

about the year 1791, by Mr. F. Masson, to whose industry botany stands

so much indebted. Of all the Diosmas this is the highest grower,

aspiring to three or four feet, or more, if encouraged; delights in peat

earth, and flowers about the month of August.

The Chelone Ruellioides is a native of Chili, South America, and was

introduced to the royal gardens at Kew in the year 1793, by Mr.

Boutelow, the son of the gardener to the King of Spain, who was then in

England pursuing his botanical studies. It is (apparently) a hardy

plant, and fit to endure the open borders, but, as yet, we have not had

a sufficient trial to ascertain it; hitherto it has been treated as a

greenhouse plant. Being herbaceous, it is propagated by parting the

roots, which should be done in spring, about the month of March. The

proper season of its flowering cannot well be determined, as it has

undergone such various treatment. The plant from which this figure was

made was in full bloom at the gardens of G. Hibbert, Esq. Clapham, in

the month of June 1797, where it was seen to flower, for the first time

in this country. The soil it seems to thrive in most, is a composition

of loam, and rotten dung.
