Defcrip- tion of the Panama Browallia and Browallia of Peru. There are two fpecies of this genus, both of which are Annuals. They are called, 1. Panama Browallia. 2. Browallia of Peru. 1* The Panama Browallia rifes with an up¬ right, branching ftalk to the height of about two feet. The leaves are oval, fpear - fhaped, pointed, and placed with footftalks on the branches. The flowers grow fingly from the wings of the leaves on long footftalks : It is a finale, funnel-fhaped petal, irregularly divided at the top, and of various colours, being fome- times blue, purple, or red, and fometimes tints of all thefe colours will at once, difplay them- felves in the fame flower. It Howers the latter end of the fummer, and very rarely brings its feeds to perfeftion in. our gardens. 2 Browallia of Peru. 1 his fpecies hath a thick, large, rigid, branching ftalk that will grow to be a vard or four feet high. 1 he leaves are oval, ‘ fpear- lb aped, and placed on footftalks on the branches. 1 he flowers come out from the wings of the leaves, and fometimes each fupports one flower only, though at other, times five or fix flowers will grow together on the fame footftalk : They are of a deep - blue or violet colour, will be in blow in Auguft or September, and but very rarely ripen their feeds with us. Thefe plants are raifed by fowing of the feeds Method in pots in the fpring, and immediately plunging of propa- them into a moderate hot-bed. When they come gati^n. up, you muft give them as much air as poffible, and frequently fprinkle them with water. W hen the plants are about three or four inches hio-fi, each muft have a feparate fmall pot, which muft be again plunged into a fecond hot-bed. At this time they muft be watered and (haded until they have taken root; and the watering muft be conftantly repeated as you find occafion! When the heat of this fecond hot-bed abates, a third muft be provided; and at your removing them into this, give them a plentiful watering and always fliade the glafles in the middle 5f the day. Water them frequently, rail'e the piaffes conftantly, and daily harden them more and more to endure the open air.
