17. HUNTLEYA violacea. Sertum Orchid. t. 26. ined. 
Of this superb plant a specimen has flowered with Messrs. 
Loddiges, which will be figured in the Sertum in the course 
of a few months. The flowers are a deep rich violet, darker 
than the darkest part of Zyzopetalum Mackaü; they are 
between two and three inches in diameter, and are tipped 
with greenish yellow, melting downwards into white, which 
soon confounds itself with the general tint of rich violet. 
18. JUNIPERUS squamosa (Wallich). 
This fine species of Indian Juniper has been raised in the 
garden of the Horticultural Society. It has remarkably 
rigid leaves, curved inwards at the point; is described by 
Dr. Royle as extremely common on such mountains as Choor 
and Kedarkanta, at the height of 11,000 feet, and elsewhere; 
and is no doubt quite hardy. 
19. HOVEA crispa ; ramis gracilibus pilosis, foliis ovato-oblongis mucronatis 
margine crispis utrinque pilosis, pedunculis subternis petiolorum longitu- 
dine, bracteolis sub calyce setaceis, calyce villoso, ovario pedicellato glabro 
4-spermo. 
A native of the Swan River Colony, raised two years ago 
in the garden of R. Mangles, Esq. at Sunning Hill; it forms 
a bush two feet high, with small purple flowers, usually 
growing in threes, and producing a pretty effect. It flowers 
in February. I do not find it among the dried collections 
from this colony.
