VOL. VII. "Now let us range both far, and wide, "Thro' all the gardens boasted pride. "Here Jasmines spread the silver flow'r, "To deck the wall or weave the bow'r, "The Woodbines mix in am'rous play, "And breathe their fragrant lives away. "There rising Myrtles form a shade; "There Roses blush, and scent the glade; "The Orange, with a vernal face, "Wears ev'ry rich autumnal grace; "While the young blossoms here unfold, "There shines the fruit like pendant gold; "Citrons their balmy sweets exhale, "And triumph in the distant gale.

Strip. nov. tom. 2. tab. 34. Ait. Kew. V. 2. p. 357._ _Buchnera_ is a genus of plants established by LINNAEUS in honour of A. E. BUCHNER, a German naturalist. Of this genus, nine species are enumerated in the 14th edition of the _Systema Vegetabilium_, by Professor MURRAY. We learn from Mr. AITON, that the present species (a native of the Cape) was introduced to the royal garden at Kew in 1774. It cannot boast much beauty, yet as it occupies but little room, grows readily from cuttings, and flowers during most of the summer: it obtains a place in most greenhouses.
