I wrote to you on the 5th and 10th of March, and to-day send you the drawing of a shrub,Streptosolon Jamesoni, recently introduced by Edward Andre from South America and propagated by Victor Lemoine, of Nancy. It grows in its native country at about 7,000 to 9,000 feet above the level of the sea. It grows from about four to six feet high. The wood is like that of the Lantana or the Fuchsia. It flowers abundantly from March until July, and will in our climate make a fine greenhouse shrub. It was at first introduced in Europe about forty years ago by Hartweg and called Browallia Jamesoni by Bentham and sold to Veitch, of London, but has since been lost. But perhaps you know more about it. Nevertheless you may be pleased to have the drawing to make your readers acquainted with.

To those of your readers who have no correspondents in Europe, I will with pleasure act as intermedian, and procure it for them, as well as all other plants.
