Text Appearing Before Image: /. A ripe feed. The Norfolk Ifland Hibifcus is a tender greenhoufe plant; was introduced to Britain, in the year1792, having been raifed from feeds communicated by Col. Paterfon, then ftationed on that Ifland.It attains the height of 12 feet, or more, becoming a fmall tree; may be increafed readily from cut-tings, and fhould be planted in a mixture of loam and fandy peat. Our figure is from a fpecimenreceived from the Right Hon. Lord Vifcount Courtenay, in whofe collection at Powderham, nearExeter, it flowered for the firft time in the year 1800; and where alfo the feeds ripeued. We have no doubt but this plant belongs to the Genus Lagunaea, of Schreber; but as he propofeshimfelf, and as L Heritier as juftly obferves, the fimplicity of the cup is not a fufficient ground, onwhich to found a new genus; fo we have rather given our prefent fubjeft, the name under which itis in general known, than adopt a title for it which is acknowledged by the author, as ratherunwarrantable. -_=: y>t Text Appearing After Image: Vt/-i.u//.i (J!rA-/.j ■•////■!
