The magnificent species of Amaryllis here represented is a native of Sierra
Leona; and was introduced from thence to this country, by Professor
Afzelius, several years ago; but has not yet been described by any author
whose works have reached us: although it will unquestionably be inserted in
the Flora of that part of Africa, which the abovementioned learned Botanist
is said to be preparing for publication.
Although a very tender hot-house species, it flowers freely in the tan-bed,
in rich earth; but its elegant flowers, like those of Amaryllis ornata, which it
also resembles in foliage, are of very short duration, and do not individually
last in full beauty longer than a day; unless they are taken out of the hot-
house as soon as expanded, and placed in some cool apartment; which
indeed they well deserve. Our figure was taken from plants in very great
perfection, at J. Vere’s, esq. Kensington Gore, in the month of July.

NYMPHÆA LOTUS.
The Ægyptian Lotus.
CLASS XIII. ORDER I.

P O L YA N D R I A M O N O G Y N I A . M a n y C h i v e s . O n e P o i n t a l .
ESSENTIAL GENERIC CHARACTER.
Corolla polypetala. Calyx 4-s. 5-phyllus. Bacca multilocularis, loculis
polyspermis.
Blossom many-petaled. Empalement 4-or 5-leaved. Berry many-celled,
with many seeds in each cell.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER, &C.
Nymphæa, foliis cordatis dentatis glaberrimis lobis approximatis, calyce
tetraphyllo. Willd. Sp. Pl. 2. 1153.
Nymphæa, with heart-shaped dentated very smooth leaves, with the lobes
approximated, and a four-leaved empalement.
REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. The seed-bud and pointal. 2. A chive. 3. A transverse section of the
seed-bud. 4. A capsule.
There can be no doubt, but that the plant here figured is the true
“Nymphæa Lotus” of Linnæus, and that it is the plant mentioned by Pliny in
Nat. Hist. lib. 13. cap. 17. and lib. 22. cap. 21. He there makes mention of a
plant which is found at the ebbing of the Nile, the fruit of which resembles a
poppy, and the seed of the size of millet: this exactly answers to the
“Nymphæa” before us, and does not at all apply to the “Nelumbium,” the
kernels of which are of the size of nuts or thereabouts: he also remarks that
the heads are dried by the natives, and that the seed is beat and broken and
made into bread.—Herodotus also mentions that the Egyptians baked the
seed into bread, and ate of the roots, or rather tubercles, which resembled an
apple and had an agreeable flavour. Vide Euterpe 92—Melpomene 177.
 Sonnini, in his Voyages, mentions the Lotus as being most abundant in
Egypt, and having white flowers; and I apprehend the red one to be nothing
but a variety of this.
When we know that the Egyptians worship the Nile, as the Indians do the
Ganges, we cannot wonder that a plant so beautiful, and so abundant in that
river, should also become an object of adoration; and we find it continually
though roughly engraved on their idols.—Indeed Pierius, in his
Hieroglyphics, mentions that the Egyptians worshipped the Lotus as the type
of the rising Sun.—It is always found on the statues of Osiris, the Egyptian
Apollo; it is also to be seen on the medals struck in Egypt by the Romans,
and especially during the reign of Adrian, who held it in such veneration,
that the medals which that Emperor caused to be struck in Egypt, in honour
of his favourite Antinoüs, uniformly represent the latter with the Lotus on his
head; whence the expression “Antinoëan crown.”—Various animals in the
Hieroglyphics appear to have it, as the hawk, the lion, and the ram. It is to be
seen on most of, though not all, their deities; as Jupiter Ammon, Iris, Serapis,
Orus, Canopus, and most particularly on Harpocrates, who is often figured
sitting in the midst of it.—See Cuper’s Harpocrates, passim. The Lotus
symbolizes Plenty on many of the medals of Egypt and Sicily, probably from
being so great an article of food among the inhabitants, and from its
generally appearing at the reflux of the Nile, when the banks were again
open to the various uses they might be put to. Whether or not the Lotus here
figured, which I think I have sufficiently proved to be the true Egyptian one,
is the same which grows in the Ganges, and is in such high veneration
throughout the continent of India, China, and Japan, can only be proved by a
comparison of the two together: certain however it is, that a plant of great
similarity to it, if not quite the same, is to be found on most of their idols
also; and as the Ganges is worshipped so may the Lotus be, with which it
abounds. It expands in the dusk of the evening, and closes about ten in the
morning.
To the Right Honourable the Marquis of Blandford we are indebted for
the description of this very interesting plant, accompanied by a fine living
specimen from his splendid collection at White Knights near Reading,
Berks.

Columnar-chived Ixia. Narrowed-leaved Var.
CLASS III. ORDER I.

TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. Three Chives. One Pointal.

ESSENTIAL GENERIC CHARACTER.
Corolla sex-petala patens æqualis. Stigmata tria erectiusculo-patula.
Blossom 6-petals spreading equal. Summits three upright-spreading.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Ixia, filamentis basi cohærentibus; floribus subcapitatis, petalis purpureis
basi saturatioribus, foliis lineari-ensiformibus.
Ixia, with threads united at the base, flowers rather in heads, petals purple
with darker bases, and linear-sword-shaped leaves.
REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. The two valves of the sheath.
2.An entire flower, cut open in the tube only, which is extended nearly to the end of the
threads.
3.The chives cut open and magnified.
4. The pointal complete, one of the summits detached and magnified
The figure which accompanies this description represents the narrowest-
leaved variety of the columnar-chived Ixia hitherto introduced into the
British gardens.
Like the other varieties already figured in this work, it is a native of the
Cape of Good Hope; and like them must be treated as a Cape-bulb; requiring
only the protection of the green-house, and a mixture of loam and peat; and
no water during its quiescent state.
It flowers in June or July, and is a very brilliant variety. Our figure was
taken some time since at Messrs. Colvill’s, Nurserymen in the King’s Road.

ESSENTIAL GENERIC CHARACTER.
Calyx diphyllus. Corolla ringens. Filamenta duo membranacea, singula

Empalement two-leaved. Blossom gaping. Threads two, membranaceous,
each with three tips.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
Fumaria, scapis erectis, pedunculis cernuis subtrifloris bracteatis, corollis
basi bilobis.
Fumitory, with erect stalks, cernuous nearly 3-flowered bracteated
peduncles, and blossoms two-lobed at the base.
REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. The empalement.
2.A flower spread open, showing the insertion of the chives, with one
filament detached and magnified.
3.The seed-bud and pointal, the summit magnified.
The beautiful species of Fumaria which we have here represented is a
hardy plant; but of what country it is a native, or by whom first introduced
into the British gardens, we have yet to learn; neither have we hitherto been
able to ascertain it in any author. Our drawing was made from very fine
specimens communicated to us by William Anderson, botanic gardener to
James Vere, esq. Kensington Gore, in whose collection it flowered copiously
in the month of June last.
It is allied to the tuberous-rooted species; and perhaps nearer to Fumaria
nobilis than any other: succeeds very well in a mixture of peat earth and
loam, but prefers a sheltered and a somewhat shaded situation; and makes a
very fine appearance when in flower: it also possesses unusual elegance in
its foliage.

2.The empalement detached and magnified.
3.A chive magnified.
4. The seed-bud and pointal magnified
The Mimosa linifolia is a native of New South Wales, from whence it was
introduced to this country several years ago.
It has been considered in the gardens as a new species, and is known
under the name of pinifolia; but as it has been recently named linifolia, by
M. Ventenat in his Plantes Nouvelles, from plants which we believe were
sent to France from England, we have adopted the latter name.
It is a very elegant greenhouse shrub; and arises with stiff erect slender
branches to the height of several feet, and does not flower when young.
 The Flax-leaved Mimosa is propagated chiefly by seeds, and either not at
all, or with great difficulty, from cuttings; and is usually cultivated in light
rich earth.
The individual here represented flowered very fine in the month of May
at Mrs. Wright’s, Bayswater; where our drawing was made.

REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. A leaf.
2.The chives and pointal.
3.The pointal and seed-bud, the summit magnified.
4. The seed-bud magnified
The Anthericum paniculatum is a native of New Holland, and was lately
introduced from that country to this. In its tuberous root and woolly
filaments, it accords very well with the genus Anthericum, as defined by
Jussieu, in his celebrated Genera Plantarum; yet recedes from it in wanting
thick and fleshy leaves; which all the African species of that genus have:
hence it approximates, in habit at least, the genus Phalangium of Jussieu,
which Willdenow makes a division only of Anthericum.
But there is nothing peculiarly remarkable in the present species differing
a little from its African congeners, because most of the Australasian plants
differ in some very striking particular or other from their nearest affinities in
all other parts of the world; and very often constitute new genera.
 It succeeds with the treatment of the Cape species, loves water, when in
active growth; continues in flower several of the summer months, and is
propagated by parting its roots in autumn, and by seeds, which it sometimes
perfects in this country.

REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. A radical leaf.
2.The empalement, chives and pointal.
3.A chive.
4. The seed-bud and pointal
Without a doubt the present is not only a new species, but likewise one of
the most showy in the extensive genus Campanula; nearly all the individuals
of which have charms enough to entitle them to a place in the flower-garden.
When our readers are told that it is an inhabitant of Greece, most of them
will readily perceive it is the very species announced in our last number, as
one that in beauty surpasses the fairest of the fair, and was communicated to
us, as well as the laciniata, by the Hon. W. H. Irby, of Farnham Royal,
Bucks.
It was first raised from seeds brought to this country from Greece, by the
late and much regretted Professor Sibthorp. There are two or three varieties
of it, which are all hardy, and flower in July; rising to the height of about two
feet, and making a very splendid appearance. They succeed best in peat earth
and loam; and are propagated by seeds and by parting their roots: and are at
present much sought after by all collectors.

Stewartia, with alternate elliptic acuminated obscurely and remotely
serrulated leaves, hairy beneath; and solitary white flowers.
REFERENCE TO THE PLATE.
1. The calyx, seed-bud and pointal.
2. The chives spread open
The Stewartia, which we have here represented, is known and cultivated in
His Majesty’s, and in various other collections of plants in the vicinity of the
metropolis, under the name of Marilandica; under which title it likewise
occurs in the third edition of Donn’s Hortus Cantabrigiensis: but we do not
find the name in any other book: neither can we, for want of sufficient
specimens, ascertain whether it is specifically distinct from Stewartia
virginica, or a variety only of that species. From S. virginica, however, as
figured by Cavanilles in his Dissertationes, (tab. 159) it appears to differ, in
having larger and much less serrated leaves, and in their being villose
beneath; and likewise in its larger and entirely white petals. Cavanilles’ plant
has one of its petals of a yellow-green colour. From Stewartia
Malachodendron it is known, at first sight, by its entire, not lacerated petals;
independent of the other generical distinctions, according to Jussieu and
Cavanilles, which exist between them.
The Maryland Stewartia is, as its name imports, a native of Maryland in
America. It is a hardy shrub, and is propagated by layers; but does not thrive
unless in a moist situation, planted in a mixture of peat earth and a little
loam; and flowers in August and September.
The plant here figured was obligingly communicated to us, in bloom, by
the Marquis of Blandford, with whom it flowered in July last, we believe for
the first time in this country.

The villous-leaved Wachendorfia is not enumerated in Professor
Willdenow’s new edition of Species Plantarum, and appears to be a new
species. It is very closely allied to W. hirsuta, but differs sufficiently from
that species in the shape of the leaves. It is likewise extremely near akin to
W. graminea, which, however, is destitute of all pubescence, whilst ours is
pubescent all over. Its flowers are yellow, like those of hirsuta and
paniculata; it rises to the height of a foot and a half, prospers with the usual
treatment of Cape Bulbs; and was communicated to us in flower, in June
last, by W. Anderson, botanic gardener to J. Vere, Esq. Kensington Gore,
where it flowers in great perfection, and increases pretty readily by the roots.

2.A petal.
3.One of the nectaries.
4.A chive magnified.
5. The seed-bud and pointal, ummit magnified
The herbaceous genus Commelina is a very singular one; and many of its
species are remarkable, not so much for the size, as for the structure and
brilliancy of their flowers; which, according to the words of the generic
character, ought to have six petals: but the present species appears to have
but three petals, the three outer being entirely of the nature of a calyx; and
effectually answering the purposes of one.
The tuberous-rooted Commelina is a native of Mexico, and in this
country requires the treatment of a hot-house herbaceous plant. It is an old,
but not common inhabitant of the British gardens; thrives well in rich earth,
and is propagated by dividing the tubers of its root, when in a quiescent
state; at which period much water is particularly inimical to it.
The genus Commelina can only be distinguished from Tradescantia when
the flowers are open; but nevertheless differs very sufficiently, not only in
having double the number of stamina, but more especially in the
extraordinary cruciform nectaries.
Our drawing was made from very complete specimens communicated to
us by the Hon. W. H. Irby, of Farnham Royal, Bucks.
