different from the plant called Ch. ochroleucus by DeCan- 
dolle, and seems near, if not the same as, Ch. alpinus. 
«| 30. VERONICA diosmefolia? Knowles & Westcott, Floral Cabinet, t. 106. 
A beautiful little shrub, from Van Diemen's Land, nearly 
hardy, with small sweet box-like leaves, and numerous clusters 
of blue flowers. 1t flowered in the Birmingham Botanic 
garden, and was not killed, although in an exposed situation, 
in the severe winter of 1837-8.—This plant is the D. for-

Y 31. HIBISCUS Cameroni; fruticosus foliosus pubescens, foliis quinque- 
partitis, partibus dentatis, petalis ovatis obtusis marginibus undulatis, 
involucellis minutis. Knowles $ JF. estcott, Floral Cabinet, t. 97. 
This belongs to the frutescent division of the sixth section 
(Abelmoschus) of DeCandolle. Flowers dull buff, tinted with 
rose, handsome. Native of M adagascar, and therefore of 
course a stove plant. 
4 32. CROTALARIA undulata; suffruticosa sericeo-pubescens, foliis bre- 
vitér petiolatis ovato-lanceolatis undulatis mucronatis, stipulis subulatis 
petiolis longioribus decurrentibus, floribus magnis luteis, calycis segmen- 
tis superioribus inferioribus multo majoribus. Knowles $ Westcott, 
Floral Cabinet, v. 2. 158. 
A showy species allied to C. rubiginosa, with large bright

from Mexico by Mr. Barker. 
{] 33. PERISTERIA guttata; scapo brevi pendulo multifloro, racemo denso 
secundo, labelli dimidio inferiore disco crasso concavo lobis lateralibus 
vix conspicuis : superiore ovato margine denticulato apice integro ab- 
rupté incurvo intüs tuberculis minutissimis obsito, columná apterá. 
Knowles § Westcott, Floral Cabinet, t. 70. 
A beautiful plant allied to P. pendula, * from which it 
differs in the colour, the shape, and the smaller size of the 
flowers, in the absence of wings from the column, and in the 
scarcely developed lateral lobes of the labellum. It is much 
more nearly allied to the P. cerina of the Botanical Register, 
with which it agrees in the general shape of the flowers, and 
the denticulated margin of the middle lobe of the labellum, 
but differs from it in the colour and copious markings of the 
flower, in the entire not emarginate point of the middle lobe, 
and in the absence of distinct lateral lobes, Still however the 
resemblance between them, except in colour, is so great that
