This variety of Crocus-flowered Ixia was introduced, according to the Kew Catalogue, Vol. I. p. 60, in the year 1774, by Mr. F. Masson, from the Cape of Good Hope, and there, is treated as a distinct species, under the name of I. deusta. From the number of drawings we possess of this tribe of plants, having nineteen distinct varieties of this one species, and in the close investigation we have given them, in their flowering, for a number of years; having found them to sport in colour, &c. from the same root, but much more so from seed; enables us decisively to place this plant as a variety to I. crocata. It is one of the most hardy of the Genus, and propagates itself by the root. The flowers are produced about May, in which month 1799, our drawing was taken, at the Hammersmith nursery; since, we have not seen it in any collection; which leads us to think it is not a free blower, as the roots are not scarce.[Pg 543]

Some light doubts, at first, arose in our minds, that this plant might be M. virgata, the 15th in Professor Martyn’s new arrangement of Miller’s Dictionary, vide art. Malva. But, from the extraordinary length of the branches of M. virgata, there described to be six feet and a half long, and only the thickness of a wheat straw at the base! with dark purple flowers; we cannot but consider this, which never rises to more than a foot and a half or two feet in the stem, with white flowers, excepting a small streak of red at the base of the petals, as a distinct and new species. It is a native of the Cape, and was received in seeds, from thence, in the year 1794. As a hardy green-house plant it is most ornamental; the blossoms, which are quite reflexed when full blown, being produced in succession from March till November, upon every part of the plant. It is increased by cuttings made in May, and placed under a hand-glass on a shady border. Light loam with a small mixture of peat, it the best soil to make it flourish.[Pg 547]

The thick-leaved Geranium is a native of the island of Cyprus, and was introduced by Dr. Sibthorpe, on his return from visiting the Grecian islands, in the year 1788. It is, we think, no more than a biennial plant at best, as it seldom survives the second winter, and but rarely the first. If the seeds are sown in the month of March, the plants will flower the ensuing autumn, and generally produce ripe seeds, if kept in a sheltered and warm situation. This plant is unquestionably the true Erodium of L’Heritier, and those who admit of that innovation, being the one, apparently, upon which he formed his Generic distinction; as we believe, no other species, so denominated, has every constituent Essential part necessary to his Genus.[Pg 551]

The Hibbertian collection has furnished us with this extraordinarily handsome Gladiolus. Our drawing was taken at Clapham, in August this year, when we were informed by Mr. Hibbert that he had received the bulbs but a few months before, from his collector at the Cape. It has little likeness to any one of the Genus yet in England; but from the character of the leaves, we should incline to think, the treatment required for Ixia plicata, (of which species we have drawings of more than twenty varieties, known under the names of I. villosa, I. rubro-cyanea, I. punicea, I. purpurea, &c. &c.) that is to say, to be kept through the winter months, in more heat than is required for the generality of Ixias and Gladioluses.[Pg 555]

This very handsome species of Whortleberry was introduced, from North America, in the year 1765, by Mr. John Cree, Nurseryman, of Addlestone, amongst many others. It is a hardy plant, in our climate. This species inclines to a loamy, rather than a peat soil, and is propagated by suckers, which it throws up from the root, or from layers; which may be put down in May, and taken off the succeeding year. Its time of flowering is about June or July, in which latter month our drawing was made last year, at Messrs. Lee and Kennedy’s, Hammersmith.[Pg 559]

The two varieties of this species of Struthiola, the other with a white flower being intended for our next number, were introduced at the same time with the Struthiola imbricata, to which they much affine, in general habit. But, the strong distinction in the number and character of the glands, induced us to consider them of a distinct species; in this, they are eight, in S. imbricata there are but four; the leaves likewise not so closely set upon the stem, and they are much more fringed. For the culture and treatment of this, we must refer our readers to the directions, for managing the above named plant. We had our specimen, for the figure, from the Clapham collection in May 1800.[Pg 563]

The Obtuse-leaved Whortle-berry was introduced, according to the Kew Catalogue, Vol. II. p. 12, from North America, in the year 1770 by Mr. William Young; but nevertheless, although said to be an inhabitant of our gardens so long as 20 years, it is, we believe, known to very few cultivators. It is a deciduous shrub, growing to the height of about two or three feet; and will, in general, survive the inclemency of our winters.
It is increased with difficulty by layers, and the berries seldom ripen with us; light peat earth, with a small mixture of loam, it thrives in most. The drawing for our figure was taken, from the Hibbertian collection, in July 1800. This species has likewise ten Chives, five divisions of the cup, [Pg 567]&c.

The Cape Cyanella has been long known in many herbariums, and to most botanists by name, but we much question whether a living plant has, till now, been seen in our gardens. The description, in his dictionary, of a plant cultivated by Miller in 1768, where he says, “the leaves are long, narrow, with a groove on the upper side, the peduncle arising immediately from the root, supporting one flower, of a fine blue colour;” surely can have no connection with our plant, but in the colour of its blossom. From every appearance of the plant, even in an abortive specimen, more than one flower must be produced, if any. It is enumerated, in the Kew Catalogue, as one of the species of Cyanella; but, we suppose, only from an accepted idea, that the plant described by Miller was the C. capensis; and, as having been cultivated in Britain, might be therefore introduced with propriety into the book, though it had never graced the garden; otherwise, if this plant, which is incontestibly the true C. capensis of Linnæus, had ever been seen in the Royal Gardens, no affinity would have been traced to that of Miller.
A few small inaccuracies occur in the generic character of this Genus, which we have rectified; one is, that the inner, and not the outer petals, are those which hang forward; the others may be observed by those, who may consider them worthy notice. This species is a bulbous-rooted plant, flowering freely in the green-house; although the roots had been received, late in the season, from the collector for the Hibbertian Collection now at the Cape; which, perhaps, is the reason the flowers are produced at this time of the year (February). Mr. Allen informs us, that, it has had no other treatment, than what is given to Cape bulbs in general. From the swelled appearance of the seed-vessels we have little doubt of ripe seeds being produced.[Pg 571]

A Figure of this Gladiolus may be found in the Ic. rar. 2. of Professor Jacquin, t. 267, by those who possess that elegant and invaluable work. The plant from which our drawing was taken, and we believe the first that has been seen in Britain, flowered in the collection of G. Hibbert, Esq. Clapham Common, last year in the month of July. We do not perceive that the treatment of this plant, should differ from the rest of its congeners.[Pg 575]

This plant, a native of China, has since its introduction, as are most plants coming from thence, been cultivated with us as a hot-house plant; but from every natural affinity, we should be led to suppose it would endure our winters, in the green-house. As yet it is in few collections and scarce; therefore, till it becomes more plenty, it will, most likely, not undergo that ordeal. Our drawing was taken from a branch in high perfection, communicated by Mr. Anderson, from the collection of J. Vere, Esq. Kensington Gore, last year 1800, in the month of July; who informs us, he has been enabled to propagate it by cuttings, and that he keeps it in a mixture of loam and rotten dung.[Pg 579]

This is the third variety of Long-leaved Protea, as mentioned p. 132, and equally scarce with the preceding ones. It was raised from seed at the same time with the other two, which were received by Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, Hammersmith, from the superintendant of the Imperial Gardens at Schonbrun. This variety, at present, is in no collection, that we know of, in England, but that of G. Hibbert, Esq. where our drawing was made, in the month of January 1801. The same unfortunate character attaches to this, as to the other varieties, from the great difficulty of increasing it; although, it flourishes in growth, if planted in a light, loamy soil.[Pg 583]
