Extract

By means of my correspondents abroad, and more particularly through the kind offices of Dr Christison, I have been enabled from time to time to cultivate in the Botanic Garden some of the rarer plants of the Materia Medica. Several of these, such as the Jalap plant, the Quassia, and the Aconitum ferox, have been already described and figured by me. The present is an interesting addition, and at the suggestion of Dr Christison I have brought it under the notice of the Royal Society.
