This is a decidedly fine plant, with cordate, crenated, 
rugose leaves, covered with hairs and on long stalks, and 
producing terminal racemes of tubular, slender scarlet flowers 
an inch long. Their colour is as nearly as possible that of 
Gardoquia Hookeri. It has flowered in the Botanic garden, 
Berlin, and is described as a perennial, 13 foot high. Its 
native country is Mexico, whence it seems to have been first 
obtained by Mr. J. H. Bockmann, Nurseryman, Hamburgh. 
No doubt a hardy greenhouse plant. 
140. BECKEA Camphorosme. Endlicher in Hugel’s Enum. p. 51. 
A very pretty greenhouse shrub from Swan River, with 
slender heath-like leaves, collected in clusters, and light pink 
cup-shaped flowers arranged along the sides of the naked 
drooping branches. It has been raised by Mrs. Wray, of 
Cheltenham, to whom we are indebted for a specimen. It re- 
ceived its name on account of its resemblance to the European 
genus Camphorwort (Camphorosma).

“Pseudobulbs quadrangular, wrinkled; at the apex of each 
is a cup-like cavity, which surrounds the base of the leaves 
when present; sheaths twice as long as the pseudo-bulb. 
Leaves solitary, ovate, ribbed, acute. Scape arising from the 
base of the pseudo-bulb, slender, smooth, and about six 
inches high. Flowers about eight, yellow, disposed in a 
raceme. Bracts about two lines long, brown and scarious at 
the edges, and closely embracing the peduncle. Peduncle 
about one inch long. Sepals unequal, yellow, involute at the 
apex, the lateral ones spread out, the upper one more or less 
connivent. Petals obtuse, of the same colour as the sepals, 
but much smaller. Labellum bearded, cucullate, three-lobed,
