Diervilla hortensis, grandiflora, floribunda, and versicolor, 
four most beautiful shrubs, with trumpet-shaped rose-coloured 
or white flowers, and the habit of upright Honeysuckles. 
Abelia serrata, a white-flowered bush, belonging to the 
same natural order as the last. 
Viburnum plicatum and tomentosum, two plants resembling 
our common Gueldres Rose. ` 
The last plant as yet figured is the Trochodendron arali- 
oides, an evergreen shrub, from damp shady places in the 
south of Japan, where it is called Jama-Kuruma, or Moun- 
tain-wheel, because of the verticillate arrangement of its leaves 
and numerous stamens; it appears to be similar in habit to 
our trée Ivy. 
1. HOYÀ coriacea. Botanical Register, 1839. t. 18. 
I find that this very rare plant is the Cyrtoceras reflexum 
of Horsfield's Plante Javaniez, p. 90. t. 21. Mr. Bennett, the 
learned author of the genus, and of the greater part of the work 
in which it appears, distinguishes it from Hoya by **the great 
comparative elongation of the whole of its sexual apparatus, 
which in Hoya is as remarkably depressed. ‘The inner angle 
of the foliola of the corona staminea, which in Hoya forms a 
mere tooth incumbent on the anthera, is produced in Cyrto- 
ceras into an erect lanceolate process, twice as long as the an- 
thera, and equal in length to the external horn, at the base 
of the foliola." It appears that mutilated specimens, ** appa- 
rently of the same species, or-at least of a very nearly related 
plant, exist among the collections of Father Camel, in the 
Sloanean Herbarium, (vol. 231.) in the British Museum. 
These were gathered in the island of Luçon.” ‘ From Dr. 
Horsfield’s notes we learn that the Javanese name of the 
plant is Kappal, and that it grows in various localities in the 
eastern parts of Java, at no great distance from the sea- 
shore.” It must not be confounded with the Kapal Kapal 
of the Philippines, which, according to Father Blanco, is the 
Asclepias or Calotropis gigantea ; and at all events is an entirely 
different plant of the same natural order. 
Messrs. Loddiges find the plant so difficult to multiply, 
that they have not yet succeeded in obtaining a duplicate.
