MORHODES P„,;ll„a is a native ol^ Oaxaca, «here it W.as originally discovered by Baro,,
It tbrmed a part of a most extensive collection of vegetable tre^isores, which that dlstnignished
traveller had .-usscmbled dnriiig his researches in New Spain, and which he attempted to bring with hini on
his return to Europe. Unfortunately, however, the vessel in which he saded was wrecked on one ol the
West Indk Isles, ami thus by far the greater portion of his living collections were consigned to a watery
grave. The individual from which our ligure is taken was one of the few survivors, and was eommunieated
to us bv the Baton in the year 1S3G. A pale self-coloured variety has more recently been introduced by
Mr. liuiKEn, by whom specimens were obligingly forwai-ded to us in the Autumn of 1838. the species
also appears to have found its way into Germany, having been described by that excellent BoUimst, Ur.
