ovate-roundish leaflets, with either the one or the other of 
those species. He adds, that the plant, when not in flower, 
is more likely to be confounded with Anagyris fetida, as has 
actually happened. It is however only fair to remark, that 
in our gardens this C. Weldenii has much the appearance of 
a Laburnum, and that it has never yet flowered that 1 am 
aware of; so that a person unacquainted with Host's book 
might easily fall into the error which has actually occurred. 
It is well known that the seeds of Laburnum are poison- 
ous, fatal accidents having occurred to children who have 
incautiously eaten them. C. Weldenii appears to possess 
this deleterious quality in a more concentrated state, for, 
according to Baron Welden, the smell of the flowers causes 
headache, and the milk of goats which feed upon the flowers 
produces the same effect, only more severely, upon those who 
drink it.

This Himalayan plant has flowered in the garden of the 
Horticultural Society, where it has been raised from seeds 
received from the East India Company. It proves to be a 
hoary perennial of little beauty, with long slender pallid or 
white flowers, arranged in long-stalked cymes. 
124. IPOM(EÁ longifolia. Bentham Plant. Hartweg. p. 16. 
Of all the flowers yet received from Mr. Hartweg by the 
Horticultural Society this is one of the finest. The stems 
are erect, not twining, and the flowers grow singly in the 
axils of the long entire grey leaves. The corolla is white, 
with a delicate noyau smell, and is as large as that of Calo- 
nyction bona nox. Itis a perennial, with a fleshy tuber-like 
root, and has lately blossomed in the Society’s Gardia It 
will probably do very well out of doors in summer, but it 
will require such protection as is given to the Dahlia in 
winter.
