Buchnera is a genus <strong>of</strong> plants eftablifhed by LINNAEUS in<br />
honour <strong>of</strong> A. E. BUCHNER, a German naturalift.<br />
Of this genus, nine fpecies are enumerated in the i4th<br />
edition <strong>of</strong> the Syftema Vegetabiliuffi, by Pr<strong>of</strong>eflbr MURRAY.<br />
We learn from Mr. AIT ON, that the prefent fpecies (a<br />
native <strong>of</strong> the Cape) was introduced to the royal garden at<br />
Kevv in 1774.<br />
It cannot boaft much beauty, yet as it occupies but little<br />
room, grows readily from cuttings, and flowers during m<strong>of</strong>t<br />
<strong>of</strong> the iuramer: it obtains a place in m<strong>of</strong>t green-houfes.<br />
