XXXV. Chloranthus, a new genus of plants, described by Olof Swartz, M.D. communicated by Sir Joseph Banks, Bart. P. R. S

Abstract

Among the numberless vegetable productions that have appeared in the Royal Garden at Kew, is the present. It is already long since this curious plant has been introduced there as a native of China, where, we are told, the same is cultivated in the Chinese gardens, though it seems not to have any qualities either palatable or odoriferous, nor a beautiful appearance.
