Tournefort in his Voyage to the Levant, Vol. III. has described this
plant under the name of, Thymelæa Pontica Citrei foliis; Dr. P. Pallas
in his Flora Rossica, has likewise figured and described it, under the
title it bears in the Sp. Plan. p. 511; from both of whom we learn, that
it is a native of the coast of the Black Sea, and therefore perfectly
hardy, at least sufficiently so to endure our climate. It is the
handsomest in foliage of any species of the genus, having, like most of
them, fragrant flowers; which begin to shew themselves with the first
budding of the plant in spring, about the first week in March. Like our
common Spurge-laurel it delights in shade, making a pretty evergreen
shrub, about two feet in height; and grows best in a light loamy soil.
Although this plant has been long known by name, it had not been seen in
England till 1795, a year subsequent to its being sent in seeds to
Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, Hammersmith. It flowered for the first time
here, in 1798; but our drawing was not made till this year, about the
middle of April. It is propagated by the seed, or cuttings.

Every step we make in the examen of plants, from that endless source for
botanical research, New Holland; nature almost as constantly, presents
us with a perfectly new face; such is the object of our present
consideration. Dr. Smith, P. L. S. in the Linnæan Transactions, Vol.
IIII. p. 215, considering a new Genus as necessary for this tribe of
plants, has named it in honour of C. H. Persoon, much noted for his
works on the fungi. This is a handsome, spreading greenhouse plant,
growing about five feet high, and covering itself with deep yellow
blossoms. It is propagated by cuttings, or seeds, which come to maturity
with us, and are produced in great numbers. J. Willson, Esq. of
Islington, raised this species from seeds about the year 1791; from a
specimen in whose collection our figure was taken, this year in July,
and where it flowered for the first time last year, in the month of
August, and is still in bloom, although many seeds are already
perfected, from the flowers of last year.

This beautiful species of Physalis, as a tender annual, should be sown
early in March, on a strong hotbed; and kept, when potted, in the
greenhouse, being impatient of cold or wet, and perishes if exposed to
either. It is a native of Peru, South America, and has been figured by
Professor Jacquin in his Ic. Rar. I. t. 38; likewise by Mons. l’Heritier
in his Stirp. Nov. p. 43. t. 22; and was first transmitted to England in
the year 1782, by Mons. Thoin, from France. Although it has been
cultivated here some years, it is but little known, owing to its great
delicacy when young, being very liable to damp off in the hotbed.

REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.

2. One Petal of the Blossom, (magnified), with its Chive attached.
3. The Pointal and Seed-bud, (magnified).
4. A ripe Seed.
The Pine-leaved Protea from the Cape of Good Hope, is rather a delicate
plant; and is subject to be killed, if not kept in the driest, and
warmest part of the greenhouse, being very susceptible of damps. It
makes a very fine appearance when in bloom, growing to the height of two
feet or more upright, and with few branches; every part of the plant,
(which is uncommon in this genus,) is quite smooth and shining. This
species of Protea is an inhabitant of our gardens, since the year 1780;
when it was first introduced by William Forsyth, Esq. of Kensington, but
has been rarely seen to flower, as it is found but in few collections;
owing to the difficulty of propagating it, by the only possible method
in this country, cuttings. The soil it approves most, as do most of the
Proteas, is a light loam. The drawing was taken at the Hammersmith
nursery, from a plant which flowered there in August this year.

The Linear-leaved Persoonia, is indigenous to the same clime as the
Lance-shaped leaved, given in our last number; grows to nearly the same
height, and makes a handsome greenhouse plant, continuing to flower
through the autumnal months; and producing good seeds. J. Robertson,
Esq. of Stockwell, Surry, raised this species from seeds in the year
1794; with whom it flowered last year, for the first time in England;
and for whose kind communication of a specimen in flower, (from which
our drawing was made,) we beg our grateful acknowledgment. It is raised
by seeds, or cuttings; and should be planted in peat earth.

To the Lady Dowager de Clifford are we indebted, for the introduction of
this new species of Ixora, a native of the East Indies; her Ladyship
having received it from thence, in the year 1796. It is a tender
hot-house plant, growing to the height of a foot, or more, and very
bushy; the bunches of flowers are very large, covering nearly the whole
upper part of the plant, and are exceedingly fragrant. The blossoms
begin to expand about the beginning of August, and continue to blow in
succession, till the end of October. The only plant we have yet heard
of, in England, is in her Ladyship’s collection at Paddington; where it
has flowered for the first time this year, and where our drawing was
made. It is propagated like the other species of Ixora, by cuttings, and
should be kept in rich earth.

The number of handsome flowering plants from New Holland, already
figured in the Botanist’s Repository; leads us to hope, the first, and
indeed most generally prevailing opinion, that the insignificance of the
flowers produced by the plants of that country, rendering them scarcely
worth cultivation for ornament; must be nearly, if not quite done away:
and we have reason to think, when farther explored, few countries will
be able to stand a competition with it, for the singularity, variety, or
beauty of its vegetable productions. The Willow-leaved Crowea we
consider as one amongst the many strong arguments, to favour our
opinion; it is rather a delicate plant, and should be kept in a dry and
warm part of the greenhouse, where it will flower from the month of
July, till November; growing three feet high, if planted in light sandy
peat; and is easily propagated by cuttings. Although, this is the only
species at present, in cultivation with us; there is little doubt from
the number of handsome specimens of other species, which we have seen,
in the different herbariums from Botany Bay; and from the character of
the seeds, much resembling those of the Diosma, which are not subject to
rapid decay; but we shall very soon be possessed of many more of this
very beautiful Genus. Our drawing was made from the nursery at
Hammersmith, where it was raised from seeds, in the year 1790. The
generic title of this plant, is derived from the name of an English
botanist at Norwich, Mr. James Crowe, F. L. S. see Linn. Tran. Vol. IV.

This species of Buchnera is an annual, and a native of the Cape of Good
Hope; from whence, it was introduced to England in the year 1795, by
Messrs. Lee and Kennedy. It should be raised with other tender annuals
in spring, and kept, either to ornament the greenhouse with them in
pots, or planted in a warm part of the flower border, about the
beginning of June. It will begin to flower about July, and generally has
perfected seeds by September; although, it will continue to bloom till
destroyed by the frost, as there is a constant succession of blossoms.

2. A Blossom complete.
3. The Chives expanded.
4. The Pointal.
The very great resemblance this plant bears in habit, to some species of
the garlick and rush, led us, at first sight, to consider it of one of
those Genera: but as Dr. Smith has in the fourth Volume of the Linn.
Trans. p. 220, constituted it a new genus, from the construction of the
chives, we make no scruple to follow such good authority. It is named
after Mr. James Sowerby, so well known for his numerous botanical
engravings, as attached to different works; but especially, for his
excellent coloured plates of English plants. Messrs. Lee and Kennedy of
Hammersmith, were the first, who raised this plant from seeds, received
in 1792 from Botany Bay. Our drawing was taken in May 1798, the first
time it flowered there; it is the full size of the plant, the
flower-stem cut off, it being twice the length of the leaves. There is
no smell to any part of the plant; but nevertheless, it is very
desirable in the greenhouse, from the character of the flowers, which
retain their colour with little change, till the seeds are perfected. To
increase it, the roots may be parted early in spring, and should be
planted in peat earth.
