    Nothing further was known of it till the return of Miss North from the expedition she made to the Seychelles for the purpose of adding views of its principal trees, &c., to the unique gallery of portraits of plants in their homes, with which she has so munificently endowed the establishment at Kew, when, amongst other treasures, she brought with her a painting of the foliage and fruit of the Capucin, and made arrangements for flowers being sent home when these should appear.[...] I have hence the satisfaction of dedicating the new genus to the accomphshed lady to whom the public are so deeply indebted.
