It is a native of Guatemala, and was imported by Ure Skinner, Esq.

Veronica Formosa

It is a native of Mount "Wellington, in Van Dieman's Land.

Ixora Barbata

This is an erect slender rather straggling-growing stove-shrub (something near I. laxiflora), about six feet high, having large spreading subcorymbose panicles of very fragrant delicate white flowers. It was imported by Dr. Wallich from the Calcutta Garden, to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Colquhounia Coccinea

A tall straggling soft-wooded woolly shrub, sufficiently hardy to endure the climate of Britain if planted against a wall: it grows luxuriantly during summer, bearing handsome flowers in the autumn, of a yellow and red colour. It is a native of the mountain -districts of Nepal, where it was detected by Dr. Wallich.

These five species are figured from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
