It ftrikes moft readily from cuttings, is a hardy green-houfe plant, and flowers during moft of the Summer, qualities which many of the modern and more Ihewy green-houfe plants cannot boaft.The precife time of its introduction here, together with its particular place of growth, we have not as yet been able fatisfaciorily to afcertain.

The Amaryllis lutea is a hardy perennial bulbous plant, a native of Spain, and other of the more Southern parts of Europe, and was cultivated in our Gardens in the time of GE- RARD, and PARKINSON.

Flora, who commences her revolutionary reign, by enlivening the flower border with the Spring Crocus, and its numerous varieties, terminates it with flowers equally pleafing, and of fimilar hues; thus we haye the prefent plant, the Saffron Crocus, and the Colchicum, flowering nearly at the fame time, from the end of September, through Oftober, and fometimes part of November.

Similar as the Amaryllis is to the yellow Spring Crocus, in the colour, and form of its flowers, it differs obvioufly in the number of its ftamina, the breadth of its leaves, and the fize and colour of m root.

Authors defcribe it as varying in fize, in the bre,adth of its leaves, the height of its flowers, and multiplication of the Corolla.

The Dutch Florifts export it under the title of yellow Colchicum, following the name of fome of the old writers.

It fucceeds beft in a foil moderately moift, in which it increafes confiderably by offsets, and'flov.crs to the moft advantage when the roots have remained for fome few years undifturbed in the fame fpot.

We are happy in having it in our power to lay before our readers a reprefentation of the Caper fhrub, whofe bloffoms are rarely feen in this country, though its flower-buds are in very general ufe as a pickle ; indeed, fo great is their confumption, that they form a very «_onfid< rable article of commerce.

The plant ^rows fpontan ;-oufly hi tUi^ more fouthern parts of Luropu, efpecially in Ital) and the Levant; in its wild ftate it form:, a fhrub of low growth, having numerous, fpreading, fpinous branches, fom<.\vhat thickly befet with fmooth roundifh, leaves; the bloffoms grow alternately on the branches, and when the plant begins to flower,, one opens generally every other morning, but fo delicate are its parts, that on a hot fummei 's dav it fades before noon : the petals are white ; the filament", which are extremely numerous, are white below,"and of a rich purple above ; in thefe the beauty of the flower chiefly confifts, as in the piftillum or pointal does its great fingularity; at firft view, one would be led to conclude, that the part fo confpicuous in the centre of the flower was the ftyle terminated by the ftigma in the ufual way ; but if we trace this part of the flower to a more advanced ftate, we fhall per ceive, that what we took for the ftyle, was merely an elonga tion of the flower-ftalk, and what we took for the ftigma, was in reality the germen placed on it, crowned v-ith a minute,

MILLER obferves, that thefe plants are with difficulty preferved in England, for they -delight to grow in crevices of rocks,, and the joints of old walls and ruins, and always thrive beft in an horizontal pofition ; fo that when they are planted either in pots or the full ground, they rarely thrive, though they may be kept alive for many years.

The Catananche c<erulea is a native of the South of France,, where it grows in hilly fituations that are ftony: it is a peren nial herbaceous plant, moderately hardy, and has long been cultivated in our gardens, Mr. AITON fays, by PARKINSON in 1640 : MILLER, who treats of it in his Dictionary, defcribes it as a pretty ornament to a garden, and one that is eafily kept within bounds; there is certainly much about it to excite our admiration, more efpecially in the ftrufture of the calyx, and the florets: the flowers, which are of a pale blue colour with a dark eye, make their appearance from July to Oftober.

It is propagated by feeds, which MILLER recommends to be fown in the Spring; the feedlings ftiould be tranfplanted in the Autumn, into the borders where they are to remain; it may alfo be increafed by flips : the plant requires a fituation moderately dry, and is moft productive of flowers and feeds when it {lands long in one fpot.

In the 14111 edit, of the Syftema. Vegetab. of Prof. MURRAY, mention is made of a variety with double flowers, which we believe has not been feen in this country.

The Guernfey Lily, as it is moft commonly called, is ori ginally a native of Japan; where it is defcribed to grow by K/EMPi'ER and THUNBERG, who vifited that ifland, the latter fays on the hills about Nagafaki, from thence roots are faid to have been introduced to the garden of JOHANNES MOKINUS at Paris, in which it flowered, Oclober 1634 : its introduction to this country, which was fubfequent to that date, as Dr. DOUGLASS relates in his Monographia on this plant, "happened " by a very fingular melancholy accident, of which Dr. Mo- " R ISON, who no doubt had it from fome perfons then refiding " in Guernfey, gives us the following a'ccount: A Dutch or " Englifh fhip, it is uncertain which, coming from Japan, " wkh fome of the roots of this flower on board, was caft

away on the ifland of Guernfey; the roots were thrown upon a fandy fhore, and fo by the force of the winds and waves, were foon buried in fand; there they remained for fome years, and afterwards, to the great furprife and admiration of the inhabitants, the flowers appeared in all their pomp and beauty." Some of thefe foon made their appearance in

this country: Mr. AITON relates, that the plant was cultivated here in 1659, by General LAMBERT, at Wimbledon,

Fatal as Guernfey proved to the unfortunate mariners, it afforded the roots of our.plant a foil and fituation apparently congenial to their own,- in that ifland they have flourifhed

ever

ever fince, there they arc propagated in the open borders of

the flower-garden with the leaft poflible trouble, flowering

moft readily, but we believe never producing any ripe feeds ; .

from thence moft of the roots which flower with the curious

here, are yearly imported in the Autumn.

'In Guernfey, the cold "f the Winter is far lefs intenfe than

with us; many of thofe plants which we keep in our green-

houfes, ftand with the;) in the open ground; the fuperior

mildnefs of the climate enables them to cultivate this plant

with more fuccefs than we can do, even perhaps with all the

expence and trouble to which we might fubjeci ourfelves ; to

fuch, however, whofe fituations may be favourable, and who

may be fond of making experiments, we recommend the

perufal of FAIRCHILD'S Directions, a practical Gardener of

great ingenuity, and who appears to have had much expe

rience in the culture of this plant*.

Jt is ufual to plant the imported bulbs in pots of fand, or

light loam, as foon as they arrive, and place them in the parlour

window, or green-houfe; they bloflom in September and

Oftober; the flowers, which continue about a month in per-

feftion, are inodorous, but make up for that deficiency by the

fuperior fplendour of their colours: Dr. DOUGI.ASS thus

defcribes them, each flower when in its prime looks like a fine

gold tiflue wrought on a rofe-coloured ground, but when it

begins to fade and decay, it looks more like a filver tiflue, or

what they call a pink colour : when we look upon the flower

in full fun-mine, each leaf appears to be ftuddcd with thou-

fands of little diamonds, fparkling and glittering with a moft

furprifing and agreeable luftre; but if we view the fame by

candle-light, thefe numerous fpecks or fpangles look more

like fine gold duft.Both K^MFFFR and TH">: UJ.RG agree, that the Japanefe

regard the root as poifonous.

* " They love a light earth, made with dung and fand, and a little lime rubbifh with

it does very well, it keeps the roots found ; for if the earth be too ftiff or wet, you may

keep them for many years before they blow. If they are in pots, they fhould be put in

the houfe in Winter, to keep them from the fevere frofts, which are apt to rot the roots.

The time of moving them is when they have no leaves on the root, that is from June to

Auguft: thofe that come with fix leaves this year, feldom fail blowing the next year:

they need not be put in frefh earth above once in two or three years : by this method of

management I have had the fame roots blow again in four years time. The many mif-

carriages that happen to the Guernfey Lily, are by letting the leaves be killed by the

fiercencTs of the froft in Winter, or by cutting them off, as fome people do, when they

are green, which will fo much weaken the plants, that they may keep them twenty

years and not have them blow ; by the above management, where there is a ftock, there

will be continually fome blowing." Mi LLFR recommends for thefe roots the following compeft: Take a third-part of

frefh virgin earth from a paftnre-ground which is light, then put near an equal part of

fea-fand, to which you fhould add rotten dung and fifted lime rubbifh, of each an equal

quantity."The great bufinefs in the culture of this flower, next to a proper foil and fituation,

fcems to confill in giving the plant as much air as poflible, and in prcferving the foli»6e

f iu tbe Winter from the injury of froft.

It may be doubted whether the Dianthus fuperlns of Miller's T)i5t, ed. 6 . 4/0. be our plant; if it be, the defcription is not drawn up with that accuracy which diftinguifhes his defcrip- tions in general; the mode of culture, however, which he recommends is ftriclly applicable to it, as the plant rarely continues in vigour more than two years, and as it is in its greateft beauty the firft year of its flowering, he recommends that young plants mould be annually raifed for fucceffion from feeds, which are plentifully produced ; the feeds of this plant ought therefore to be kept in the mops with annuals and bi ennials.

The Dianthus Juperlus is a native of Germany, Switzer land, France, and Denmark: Ctusiys found it growing in the moift meadows about Vienna, and on the borders of woods adjoining to fuch, with fome of its flowers white, others purplifh; PARKINSON defcribes -them of thefe two colours, but fays the moft ordinary with us are pure white, which is contrary to what we now find them: they are rarely produced before Auguft, from which period they will continue fre quently to bloffom till Oftober.

The Spring is the belt time for fowing its feeds; the plants require no very nice or particular treatment.

The prefent fpecies flowers very early in the fpring, from February to JVIay, producing a great profufion of bloora during that period ; is a native of the Cape, and was culti vated by Mr. MILLER, in 1728.

It rarely ripens its.feeds with us, but is readily increafed by cuttings.

The nurferymen near town regard this plant as the groffu- lerifolia of LINN&US, calling another, equally common fpecies, with longer and narrower leaves, aintfolia., and which does not appear to be defcribed by LINNAEUS or mentioned by Mr. AITON ; our plant accords exaftly with the Linnsean defcription ofalmfoliay and there is we think no doubt of its being the ".nifolia of the Hortus Kewenfis, and Mr. MILLER'S Di&ionary.

confiderable quantity; in the prefent fpecies it flows not fo

copioufly, but is retained in the lower part of the bloffom, and,

is of a dark brown colour, an unufual phenomenon.

There are only two fpecies of this genus defcribed, the major

and the minor, both of which are cultivated in our nurferies;

the major is by far the moft common, the moft hardy, and the

mod ornamental plant; its foliage indeed is peculiarly elegant:

this fpecies will fucceed in the open border, efpecially if

placed at the foot of a wall with a fouth or fouth-weft afpeB,

taking care to cover the root to a confiderable depth with rot

ten tan. in fevere frofts : the m inor is always kept in the green-

houfe, in which, when it has acquired a certain age, it flowers

regularly in the fpring, and conftantly fo, as far as we have

obferved of the plants in Chelfea Garden ; Mr. AITON fays in

Auguft, and COMMELIN trie fummer through.The Melianthus minor grows to the height of three, four, or

five feet; its ftem, which is fhrubby, during the flowering feafon

is apt to exhibit a naked appearance, having fewer leaves on

it at that period, and thofe not of their full fize ; but this,

perhaps, may in fome degree be owing to the plant's beinj-

placed at the back of others.The foliage when bruifed has an unpleafant frnell.

It is a native of the Cape, and, according to Mr. AITON,

was cultivated by the Duchefs of BEAUFORT, in 1708;

propagated readily by cuttings. Put. 6* tyfitr^if^ffa, Cr/fcmtJunt!'

The feeds of this fpecies of Mimofa having been fent over

in plenty, with fome of the firft vegetable productions of New

by many cultivators in this country; Mr. HOY, gardener to

the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, produced a fpecimen of it

a fhrub of quick growth, and a ready blower : a plant of it

in the ftove of Chelfea-Garden has this year (May 10, 1795)

produced ripe pods, and perfect feeds. In the greenhoufe,

where it flowers from February to April, the btofibms go off

flowers to the E. ventricofa, as thefe in their fhape referable a

fiafk or bottle, efpecially of that kind in which water is ufually

kept, we have named it ampiillacca; it is of very modern in

troduction.On the nth of June 1784, we had the pleafure to fee a

fmall plant of this fpecies in flower, with Mr. WILLIAMS,

NurLryman, Turnham-Green, an unwearied and ingenious

cultivator of this beautiful tribe of plants in particular, the

richnefs of whofe collection will appear in the fubfequent lift;

by him it was raifed from Cape feeds, though not more than

the height of ten inches, it produced eighteen branches, moft

r>t which put forth flowers at their fummits ; we counted fixty-

fix bloflbms on this fmall plant.

The leaves are fhort, linear, fomewhat triangular, rigid,

edged with fine crooked hairs, very vifible when magnified,

and terminating in a mucro or point, on the older branches

recurved and moftly eight-rowed; each branch is ufually ter

minated by four or five flowers, at firfl growing clofely to

gether, and covered fo ftrongly with a glutinous fubltance,

as to look as if varnifhed, and which is fo adhefive as to catch

ants and fmall flies ; as the flowering advances, they feparate

more widely from each other, and finally a young branch

grows out of the centre from betwixt them ; the true calyx is

cornpofed of four lanceolate leaves, fitting clofe to and glued

as it were to the corolla; befides thefe, there are feveral other

leaves, which might be miftaken for thofe of the calyx, but

y ch may with more propriety be called Braftese or Floral-

i-aves; fome of thefe, like the calyx, are wholly red, others

and green mixed together, and broader than the leaves of the

,„ ,r

the plant; the flowers are about an inch and a quarter in length, inflated below, and contracted above into a long narrow neck, dilating again fo as to form a kind of knob, in which the antherae are contained, jufl below the limb, which divicb into four fomewhat ovate obtufe fegments, the upper fide uf thefe fegments is of a very pale flefh colour, the under fid:.- of them as well as the dilated part jufl below them brighi red, the. body of the flower flefh colour, marked with eight longitudinal ftripes, of a deeper hue ; filaments eight, anthem. vfithin the tube; ftyle projecting about the eighth of an inch beyond the corolla; ftigma, a round glutinous head.

The flowers as they decay become of a deeper red colour,'^nd finally pale brown, ftill retaining their form and appear-irig to advantage;—hitherto the plant has produced no feelshere, is inc'reafed with difficulty either by cuttings or layers,but with moft certainty in the latter way.

Botanifts are divided in their opinions refpefting the genus of this plant; LINNAEUS confiders it as an Anthericumt H ALLER and MILLER make it an Hemerocallis.It is a native of Switzerland, where, HALLER informs us, i;. grows abundantly in the Alpine meadows, and even on the fummits of the mountains; with us it flowers in May and June.It is a plant of great elegance, producing on an unbranched ftem about a foot and a half high, numerous flowers of a deli cate white colour, much fmaller but refembling in form thofe of the common white lily, poflefling a confiderable degree of fragrance, their beauty is heightened by the rich orange colour of their antherae; unfortunately they are but of fhort duration.MILLER defcribes two varieties of it differing merely ia fixe.A loamy foil, a fituntion moderately moifl, with an eaftern or weftern expofure, fuits this plant beft; fo fituated, it will increafe by its roots, though not very faft, and by parting of 'nelc in the autumn, it is ufually propagated.PAR KIN SON defcribes and figures it in his Parad. tferreft. oblerving, that " divers allured by the beauty of its flowers, brought it into thefe parts."

This fpecies of Lobelia, fo eminently diftinguifhed for li;: richnefs of its fcarlet bloffoms, is a native of the colder as well as warmer parts of North-America. PARKINSON, who cul tivated it in 1629, informs us that he received plants ofitfrcsi France for his garden, and that " it groweth neere the river ol Canada, where the French plantation in America is feated."

It is a hardy herbaceous plant, growing in favourable fitna- tions to the height of three or four feet ; the main fpike of flowers which terminates the ftalk, is often a foot in length ; by the time that moft of its flowers are blown, fide branchc' fhoot out, and flower ; fo that the plant continues in bloom fix weeks or two months : if the Autumn prove favours.!:''", the plant with us produces plenty of feed in the open grourvJ; to infure its ripening, fome place pots of it, when blowing, in the greenhoufe or ftove.

This magnifiLcjlt fpecies of Chryfanthemum, which we have i.icno leen only in the collection of Mr. Coi VILL, Nurfery-

1 : -Road, Chdfea. began to flower with him early r lad, 1795; a; rl as there were many buds on the

P'*"t, at that time, yet unopened, it appeared as if it would continue to flower during the early part of the winter at leaft.

h i* a plant of ftrong growth; the Item riling to the height °* two or three feet, fomewhat woody, much branched, befet *"'» numerous leave-, having fome refemblance to thofe of

NigWort, of a gieyifh hue; the flowers, on being fmelt to, c O Vcr an I'ieeable fragrance,, they are produced on the

of i; c branches in a loofe fort of clufter (thofe which £ the main ftem, grow to the fize of a large carnation) '>• purple colour; they are, it is to be-obferved, double,

or

or rather between femidouble and double; the florets of tl> radius at firft perfeftly tubular or quilled, as they advan« fplk gradually downward on the infide, their outlidc is of a greyifh tint, which being vifible in mofl of ;lic florets, efpecially the younger ones, gives them a parti coloured appearance; thefe florets do not fo completely Oc. cupy the receptacle but that room is left for a few others in the centre, of a different form, ahd yellow colour, which, on examination, appear to have their parts perfeft, as .indeed do thofe of the radius ; the receptacle is befet with membranou- paleas or chaffy fcales, a circumftance which would lead us i> confider this plant rather as an Anthcmis than a Chryfanthemim, of which 11 has the caly\, with the foliage of Mugwort.

New as this plant is to us, ii appears to have been cultivated in China for age.*: LINN -.r^, who defcribes "it in his Spec Plantar, refers us to a figure in the Hortus Malabarims ; : liu figure, and tLe defcription accompanying it, agree generally with our plant, but the flowers are more double, much fmalkr, lefs cluttered, and do not correfpond in point of colour, y-t there can be no doubt but our plant is a variety of the fame: it is there deft ribed as growing in fandy fuuations, and having green petals.

Rr;?.-?Hns, in his, highly interefting work, the Hertariitti Amboincnje is much more minute in1 his information; he obferves, that thefe plants were originally brought from China, •where they flower in May and June,- thai there are two forts principally cultivated in India, the white and yellow-flowerd, and a third fort, differing only in the colour of its flower, which are red (the variety, as we fuppofe, here figured) began to be known among them at Amboyna ; the flowers there '' not expand well, owing to their being produced at the i . feafon, and they decay without producing any feed.

He tells us further, that it is cultivated chiefly for pleafurc; that the natives and the Dutch plant it only in the borders of their gardens, in which it does, not fucceed fo well as in pot and that, if it remains more than two years in the fame Ipot, it degenerates, becomes lefs woody, and often wholly perilhe0 . that the Chinefe, by whom it is held in high eftimation, p»; great attention to its culture ; they fet it in pots and jars, anp place it before the windows of their apartments, and that U ' not unufual for them when they invite their friends to an enter tainment to decorate their tables with it; on thofe occafiofl-. he that produces the largeft flower, is confjdered as conferrl"> the greateft honour on his guefts; befides thefe three vart'-"0already mentioned, they have a fourth, which is more '•ir(f'uli'->ic

whofe flowers are of a greenifh afh colour (is not this the var. figured in the Hort. Malab. ?) all thefe varieties growing in feparate pots, they place in certain quarters which they par ticularly wifli to decorate, and the effeft they produce is highly pleafir-g: '"' the cultivation of this plant they fpare no pains, ihc Ihorter it is and the larger its flowers, the more it is cflcemed; 10 make it dwarfifh, and at the fame time pro- dnttive of flowers, they check its growth; for, if fuffered to Ifrow rude, it affumes a wild nature, and produces little but leaves; when it is coming into flower, of the three bloffoms which ufually terminate each branch, they pluck off two, and thus the remaining flower grows larger; by this, and other management, they caufe the flowers to grow to the breadth of one's hand : he enumerates ftill a fifth fort with white flowers, ',,'iiJr, is extremely rare, and fmaller than the others, called J/.' 1 , 1 :' ' -yji, that is the drunken -woman; its flowers morning and u\ ^.iing flag, and hang down as if debilitated by intoxi cation, in the middle of the day they become ereft, and follow the courfe of the fun; but this (moft probably adiftinft fpecies) it not exported from China. Finally, he remarks, that the ChiruTe and Malays are fo attached to thefe flowers, that they 'ven Decorate their hair with them.

I n MB ERG, in his Flora Japonic^ enumerates it among the iu.tu ^f that country, and defcribes it as growing fpontaneoufly in i'jjjLnberg, near Nagafaki, and elfewhere, obferving, that it is cultivated for the extreme beauty of its flowers in gardens and tan Cos throughout the whole empire of Japan, and that the Uovers vary infinitely in point of colour, fize, and plenitude. K*MPFER'S account of it in his Amcsn. Exot. is very fimilar.

As this plant in the courfe of a year or two is apt to grow out of form, it is advifablc either to renew it frequently by Teed, which it produces in abundance, or to keep it clofelv cut in. ' }

Of this genus there are only two fpecies known, the major and the minor, both happily diftinguifhed by the different form of their flowers, a part from which it is not common to draw Ipccific differences, though in fome inftances they afford the beft.

The major varies much, the leaves being fometimes fpotted, rough, and the flowers of a more yellow hue ; this is the

ort Reared by GERARD in his Herbal, who mentions its growing in his garden (1597). MILLER confiders this as a jpecies, but LINN^US, HALLER, AITON, and others, regard " 4« a variety ; our figure reprefents the Cerinthe glaber of MUI.EU.

The whole plant is covered with vifcid hairs; the ftalk about a foot high, is much branched ; but the great peculiarity of this plant confifts in its flowers, the petals being long, narrow, and pointed, and of a faffron colour, of a deeper tint when they firft open, and gradually changing to a pale yellow ; the beauty of the flowers is heightened by a glandular fubftance in the centre of each, which when the flower expands is of a bright purple colour.

This rare fpecies of Saxifrage is a native of the Alps of Switzerland and Italy; we raifed it with difficulty from feeds fentus by Mr. DAVAL, of Orbe, in Switzerland; it was three years before the plants flowered; thofe now in bloom in my garden, June 15, bid fair to produce feeds in abundance ; the plant may alfo be produced from offsets, in the fame way as the Saxifraga Cotyledon, vulgarly called Pyramidal Sedum, an" requires a fimilar treatment; though an Alpine plant, it mutt be flickered from much wet and fevere frofts.

The Grafles are in general more regarded for utility than ornament, yet in the latter point of view many of them have engaged the attention of the curious, and long held a place in the flower-garden, to which they have a twofold claim, as they not only decorate the garden when f'refh, but the mantle-lhelf when dry; to thefe purpofes the prefent fpecies of Briza has long been applied: JOHNS.ON tells us, in his time, 1633, " it was fowen yearlely in many of the London gardens."

This fpecies, a native of Spain and Italy, bloflbms in June and Jutyj and ripens its feeds in Auguft.

Where it has once feeded it comes up fpontaneoufly, with out the trouble of fowing it; autumnal feedlings make the ftrongeft plants, they are liable however to be cut off in very fevere feafons j Ihould that happen, fow more feed in the fpring with your other annuals.

SEE A, a Dutch writer, appears firft to have noticed this Heath; he figures it in his Mufeum, and diftinguifhes it by the name of Arbutus-flowered, which Mr. AITON has retained.

This very elegant and ornamental fpecies grows to a confiderable height, and in favourable fituations produces abun dance of flowers early in the fummer, which are remarkable^ ihough not peculiarly fo, for being enveloped with a calyx of 1'ie fame colour.

It is a native of the Cape, and was introduced by Mr. MASSON in 4774*.

Is raifed from feeds, which it ripens with us more freely than moft of the African Heaths, a fortunate circumftance, as it is fcarcely poffible to ftrike its cuttings.

Seedling plants rarely flower till they are three years old.

The name of Alth<eoides and the defcription of LINNJEUS accord much better with .the figure of this plant, as given by CLUSIUS, than with the plant itlelf as cultivated in our gardens : whether the foliage of our plu.:. becomes fmaller. and more finely divided by cultivation ; whether it b<- a diftinQ. fpecies, as MILLER affirms, or a permanent variety, as Mr. AITON makes it, we have not been able fatisfaftorily to afcertain ; the former gives no defcription of the radical leavet of his degantiffimus, and we have not found in any of our gardens a variety different from the one here figured. This fpecies of Convolvulus, though cultivated here by J. TRADESCANT in 1656, is far from being common, which is the more furprifing, as the plant is teafy of culture and produfti 1 e of flowers at nuce lar,;e and beautiful, and peculiarly inicrefting. from the extreme variablenefs of its filky foliage, expanding into the moft elegai.t forms imaginable.

Mr. S? i vr. •-.'«;, of < ;amerton-Houfe, near Bath, informs me that it growo abundantly on tlie mountains near Viclri, fouth- eaft of Naples, and in- the Ifle of Capri, mixed with Convolvulus Cneorum, Lithofpermum fr^ticofum, &c. and in the adjacent iflands and continent, forming a beautiful ornament to the flirubs it entwines: CLTSIVS obferved it in Spain and Portugal.

It flowers with us in June and July, anrl is increafed without difficulty by parting iis roots, which arc of" the creeping kind, in fpring or autumn. It is ufually kept in the greenhoufe, but will fucceed very well in the open border, guarding it againft ,the unufual feverity of \\

Thofe who " admire Nature's clocks more than her watches," will view, we prefume, wkh fome pleafure our nrprefentation of this very fuperb fpecies of Hibifcus, a native of Carolina, and cultivated here by Dr. JOHN FOTHERGILL, in 1778.

This fpecies is altogether herbaceous, and from a perennial root yearly throws up a ftem to the height of many feet, clothed with foliage of a beautiful form and fmoothnefs, and Jupporting at its fummit feveral flowers, diflinguiihed for their grandeur and richnefs of colour; thefe ufually bloflbm in Auguft, and if the plant be kept in the ftove, as it molt commonly is, are followed by ripe feeds, by which it is moft commonly propagated.

In the Hort. Kew. i t is marked as a greenhoufe plant; it may no doubt be preferved in the greenhoufe; there is even no impediment to its growing in the open border, if placed in a warm and flickered fituation; and the only motive for keeping it in the ftove is its being found to flower there more advantageoufly, and to ripen its feeds with more certainty. •
