cells, coimecfed at the middle by a small comiectivnm.
Style slender, filiform, about the length of the longer pair of
stamens, pale green, thickened upwards. Stigma peltate,
green and viscid above. Ovarium ovate, bilocular, surrounded

prominent angles. Placentae 2, fleshy, green. Ovules nu-
merous, white.
We are indebted to Mr. Atkins, Nurseryman, Northampton,
for specimens of this very showy hybrid, raised by him
between Nierembergia nyctaginflora and phcenicea. In habit
It IS inuch like the former, but the flowers are nearly intermediate
between those of the two parents.
The plant would prove a great ornament in the flower
border, as_ it blossoms most abundantly, and is as hardy as
the nyctaginiflora. It is readily increased by cuttings. The
flowers, especially in the evening, diffuse an agreeable fra-
grance, resembling that of the clove pink.
The generic name is already explained at fol. 268.
