Gronovius, in his arrangement of the plants discovered by Mr. J. Clayton
in Virginia, P. i, page 185, has described this plant; and Linnæus after
him, in his second edition of the Species Plantarum, page 1341, has it
likewise, but thought it only a large variety of a species found in
marshy grounds in Sweden; however that may be, it is perfectly new to
Britain, as a plant in our gardens. This species of Ophrys seems much
more easy to preserve than most of its congeners, as, since its
introduction, the bulbs seem to acquire additional size, and the spikes
of flowers to grow larger each year. Our drawing was taken from a plant
in the extensive collection of the Right Hon. the Marquis of Blandford,
Bill-hill, Berkshire, in the year 1797, about the beginning of the month
of July; having been sent the preceding year from Philadelphia, by J.
Lyons, gardener to William Hamilton, Esq. of that State. It is a hardy
plant, and will thrive in a sheltered border, if planted in light earth,
and kept moist; is propagated but slowly by the root, which seems the
only method; as the seeds are too small of all this natural order to
raise them by that means.

GLADIOLUS POLYSTACHIUS.
_Branching Gladiolus._
CLASS III. ORDER I.
_TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA._ Three Chives. One Pointal.
ESSENTIAL GENERIC CHARACTER.

STAMINA adscendentia.
BLOSSOM of six divisions, and gaping.
CHIVES ascending.
See Plate XI. GLADIOLUS ROSEUS.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Gladiolus foliis falcatis; caule polystachio; corollis
sub-regularibus, carneis.
Gladiolus with cymitar-shaped leaves; stem many branches; blossoms
nearly regular, and flesh colour.
REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. The Empalement.
2. A Blossom cut open, with the Chives attached.
3. The Pointal and Seed-bud, one summit magnified.
This species of Gladiolus has been long known in herbariums, as it is
very common about Table mountain, at the Cape of Good Hope; Jacquin,
Thunberg, Gmelin, Welldenow, &c. have it under the tribe of Ixia, with
the specific names of Scillaris, Fabricii, &c. but notwithstanding, we
have no hesitation in placing it under its true genus Gladiolus. The
upright character of the chives, their insertion into the tube of the
blossom, and not at the mouth, the difference in the shape of the
petals, the situation of the summits behind the chives, &c. leave no
room for doubt where its station should be. Although plentiful at the
Cape, it has not been long an inhabitant of this clime; having flowered
for the first time in the year 1797, at Bulstrode, the seat of his Grace
the Duke of Portland. What contributes much to the value of this plant
is, that it continues in flower at least two months, from the beginning
of June till the end of July; propagates itself abundantly by the roots,
which are not subject to rot, though not removed from the pots in which
they have flowered. Thrives in peat earth.

See GERANIUM GRANDIFLORUM, Plate XII.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Geranium foliis multifidis, crassis, confertis; floribus
umbellatis, pedunculis longissimis; caule erecto, fruticoso.
Geranium with leaves of many clefts, thick, and crowded together;
flowers grow in bunches, on very long foot-stalks; stem upright,
and shrubby.

2. The Chives and Pointal, (natural size).
3. The Chives cut open.
4. The Pointal, (magnified).
This pretty species of Geranium, from the Cape of Good Hope, is one of
those having seven fertile tips; therefore a Pelargonium of Mons.
L’Heritier. It is a low growing plant, seldom exceeding eight or nine
inches in height, keeping very compact; but is subject to damp in the
leaves, if kept moist in winter, though otherwise pretty hardy. Mr. C.
Lodiges, of Hackney, first raised it from seeds which he received from
Vienna, about the year 1793. It is readily propagated by cuttings, or
seeds, and continues to flower all the summer mouths; requiring light
rich earth to make it flourish.

GOODENIA OVATA.
_Oval-leaved Goodenia._
CLASS V. ORDER I.
_PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA._ Five Chives. One Pointal.
ESSENTIAL GENERIC CHARACTER.
COROLLA supra longitudinaliter fissa, genitalia exserens,
quinquefida. Stigma urceolatum, ciliatum.

yellow, the two outer segments grow upright.
REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. The Empalement and Seed-bud.
2. A Blossom, with the parts of fructification attached.
3. The Chives, and Pointal (magnified).
In the second volume of the Linnæan Transactions, Dr. Smith enumerates
ten species of the genus Goodenia; this species makes an addition to the
number. The oval-leaved Goodenia is a half woody plant, making long
willow-like branches, which mostly decay in the winter, though a great
part of the plant remains; it is a hardy greenhouse plant, requiring
little trouble either to keep or propagate; the latter of which is done
by cuttings. About the year 1793, a parcel of seeds was received by
Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, sent to them by Colonel Paterson from Port
Jackson, New Holland; amongst them, the seeds of this plant; it
nevertheless did not flower till the year 1798, about the month of June.
It is certainly a desirable plant, never failing to flower from June
till September, if kept growing in vigour, which it will surely do if
planted in light peat earth.

4. The Pointal (magnified).
5. A Capsule.
6. A Seed.
Of all the plants yet introduced from New Holland, that have hitherto
flowered with us, this unquestionably takes the lead for beauty,
considering the plant altogether. It is a hardy greenhouse plant,
growing to the height of six or eight feet before it flowers; when the
blossoms break from the ends of almost every branch. The seeds of this
plant were among the first which arrived from Botany Bay, in the year
1788; when two varieties of it were raised by Messrs. Lee and Kennedy,
at their nursery, who were fortunate enough to procure all the seeds
which came home that season. This fine genus has received its title,
(under the sanction of Dr. Smith, _see the Linn. Trans. page 214, vol.
3_.) from Aylmer Bourke Lambert, Esq. fellow of the Royal and Linnæan
Societies; a gentleman whose zeal for the advancement of the science is
unbounded, and whose labours to that end, as well as his endeavours to
render botany of universal benefit, by combining the useful with the
pleasing; (witness his work on the Cinchonas, or Jesuits’ Barks) do him
the greatest credit. Our drawing was made from a plant which flowered
for the first time in this kingdom, in the collection of J. Robertson,
Esq. of Stockwell, Surrey, in July 1798. It is without difficulty raised
by cuttings, and thrives in peat earth.

PLATE LXX.
GNIDIA SIMPLEX.
_Heath-leaved Gnidia._
CLASS VIII. ORDER I.
_OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA._ Eight Chives. One Pointal.
ESSENTIAL GENERIC CHARACTER.
CALYX infundibuliformis, quadrifidus. Petala quatuor, calyci
inserta. Semen unicum, subbaccatum.
EMPALEMENT funnel-shaped, and four-cleft, Petals four, inserted
into the empalement. One seed, something like a berry.
See GNIDIA PINIFOLIA, Plate LII.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Gnidia, foliis linearibus, acutis, lævibus; floribus terminalibus,
sessilibus, luteis.
Gnidia, with linear, pointed, smooth leaves; flowers terminating
the branches, sitting close upon them, and yellow.
REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. A Flower, (natural size).
2. The same cut open, and magnified.
3. The Pointal, (natural size).
4. The same magnified.
The flowers of this species of Gnidia, like most plants of this natural
order, are fragrant, which increases much towards night. It is one of
those delicate Cape plants requiring a dry stove, or an airy warm
situation in the greenhouse; where it continues to flower through the
months of April and May, and frequently will blossom a second time in
September and October. It is easily propagated by cuttings; delighting
most in peat earth, and seldom grows more than a foot high. Our drawing
was made, (by his kind permission) at the beautiful and unique
conservatory of R. James, Esq. Grosvenor-place, from a plant in his
valuable and select collection, in May this year.
Unfortunately the G. Simplex having been introduced to our gardens
before the G. Pinifolia, (see our figure, Pl. LII.) it was found in most
collections under that title; but we have no hesitation in placing this
plant under the specific name given it by Linnæus, in his Mantissa
Plantarum of 1767, page 67; where, to the usual specific character, he
has superadded an accurate description of it.

CLEMATIS VIORNA.
_Blue thick-petal’d Virgin’s Bower._
CLASS XIII. ORDER VII.
_POLYANDRIA POLYGYNIA._ Many Chives. Many Pointals.
GENERIC CHARACTER.
PERIANTHIUM. Calyx nullus.
COROLLA. Petala quatuor, oblonga, laxa.

instructa.
EMPALEMENT. Cup none.
BLOSSOM. Petals four, oblong, flexible.

awl-shaped shafts, longer than the chives. Summits simple.
SEED-VESSEL none. Receptacle forming a round head, and small.
SEEDS many, roundish, flattened, retaining the shaft, which is
variously shaped.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Clematis foliis compositis decompositisque; foliolis quibusdam
trifidis; floribus violaceis, coriaceis.
Virgin’s Bower, with compound and doubly compound leaves; some of
the little leaves split into three; flowers blue, and tough.
REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. The Chives, and Pointals; the petals being removed.
2. The Pointals.
3. A Chive, (magnified).
4. A Pointal, (magnified).
5. A Seed nearly ripe, (natural size).
Doubts have been entertained, among some botanists, whether this plant
is the Clematis viorna of Linnæus, as given by him, with various
synonims, in his Sp. Plan. By collating the different specific
characters from the synonims adopted by him, we have no hesitation in
our decision. Being a native of Virginia and Carolina, it is not so
hardy as some others from the northern parts of Europe or America; but,
nevertheless, is not killed by our winters, as it is herbaceous, and not
making its shoots till late. In a warm situation against a wall or
trellis, it will begin to blossom in July, and continue to flower till
destroyed by the frost. As yet it is rather scarce in our gardens, being
but of a late introduction, though long known by description. Our figure
was taken at the Hammersmith nursery, where it is in high perfection,
being planted in a mixture of loam and peat earth: it is most readily
increased, by parting the roots in spring; as the seeds seldom come to
maturity in this climate.

2. A Flower cut open, with the Chives remaining attached, to shew their insertion
into the tube of the Blossom.
3. The Pointal, (natural size,) the Summit detached, and magnified.
4. The Honey-cup, (magnified).
The Styphelias constitute a very extended tribe of plants, indigenous
only to New Holland; we are indebted to the pupil of Linnæus, the
celebrated Dr. Solander, for this generic title, which, (as Dr. Smith
has fairly observed) is expressive of the habit of this whole genus,
having its origin in στυφελὸς, harsh, or hard; a character which seems
invariable in every species that has come under our notice. The S.
tubiflora, although set off by Dr. Smith, in his fourth number of New
Holland Botany, with so much grace, must, (and we have no doubt of his
concurrence) give place to S. triflora, which undoubtedly claims the
palm from all its congeners hitherto discovered. The only specimen alive
or dead, and from which our figure was taken, of this plant, which has
come to our knowledge, is to be found in the extensive collection of G.
Hibbert, Esq. Clapham-common; from whose exertions the exotic
collections of this kingdom, are likely to acquire such considerable
additions.
The S. triflora was raised from seed at Clapham in 1796, but did not
flower till this year, in the month of June, continuing in blossom
through July, and part of August. It grows to the height of near three
feet, branching but little; the whole stem being hid by the leaves. Mr.
Allen the gardener, to whose kind communications we are much indebted,
informs us he has kept it in peat earth, and that he thinks it is to be
raised by cuttings.
