A pretty little perennial rock-plant, introduced from the 
North of India by the Hon. Court of Directors of the Kast 
India Company. Its stems are densely leafy and rise grace- 
fully upwards in a curved manner. ‘The flowers are white, 
nodding, with pale pink veins, and are placed in naked 
racemes at the ends of all the branches. The stamens pro- 
ject beyond the corolla. ‘This has flowered abundantly in the 
Garden of the Horticultural Society.

A new perennial from the North of India, introduced by 
the East India Company. It has very narrow pale glaucous 
leaves, and dull yellowish brown flowers painted with dark 
lines. It is near L. odora, and macrura, but seems different 
from both. Its seeds will be described hereafter, if they are 
produced. 
152. CONVOLVULUS scoparius. 
I have just received from Mr. Barker Webb the following 
interesting communication concerning this curious and little 
known plant, a figure of which was given last month, fol. 43. 
‘I have just seen in your number of the Botanical Re- 
gister for this month, the very characteristic figure you have 
given of Convolvulus scoparius. Not being acquainted with 
the fruit, you could not assign to it a precise position amongst 
the convolvulaceous genera. I had long since (11 years ago, 
in the Canary Islands) prepared for it the outlines of a group 
I call Rhodorhiza, and do not see any reason at present to 
change my opinion. I enclose the characters of this new 
genus with a few remarks, as some months may elapse before 
the Convolvulacez can appear in the Phytographia Canariensis.
