f _ciliata_, introduced by Mrs. NORMAN, from the West-Indies,
in 1783: we saw it during the latter part of the last Summer, with great
profusion of flowers, in several collections, more particularly in that
of Mr. VERE, Kensington-Gore, from whence our figure and description
were taken.

Its stalks are round, perfectly smooth, and run to a very great height;
leaves dark green, glossy, perfectly smooth, except on the edges, where
they are beset with strong glandular hairs, divided into three large and
two small lobes, the middle lobe running out to a considerable length,
the footstalks of the leaves are beset with a few hairs thinly
scattered, at the base of each leaf is a tendril, and two finely-divided
stipulae, edged also with glandular hairs. The Involucrum is composed of
three leaves, dividing into capillary segments, each of which terminates
in a viscid globule, fetid when bruised; betwixt the involucrum and the
blossom is a short peduncle; the pillar which supports the germen is of
a bright purple colour, with spots of a darker hue, the germen is smooth
and green; Styles green; Stigmata of a dark green; Filaments six in
number; Antherae pale yellow green, the former dotted with purple; of
Radii, there may be said to be four rows, variegated with white and
purple, petals ten, externally greenish, internally red, deeper or paler
according to circumstances.

The leaves of this plant vary greatly in form, according to the health
and luxuriance of the plant; on comparing it with the _foetida_, we
strongly suspect it to be a variety merely of that species: time will
shew.

It is increased by cuttings, or seeds.
