95. BUDDLEA Lindleyana. 
Fortune in litteris. 
B. Lindleyana ; glabra, fruticosa, folis ovatis acuminatis serratis, racemis 
verticillatim spicatis tomentosis, calycis dentibus brevibus triangularibus, 
corollze tubo elongato infra medium ventricoso laciniis obtusis. 
Seeds of this shrub, found by Mr. Fortune in Chusan, 
have been sent by him to the Horticultural Society, in whose 
garden they have been raised. He describes it as a handsome 
small bush, and, from a coloured figure which he has sent 
home, it appears to merit the description. Its flowers are in 
close terminal racemes, about two inches long, and are them- 
selves nearly three-quarters of an inch in length. Their 
colour is a rich violet or lilac. "This plant affords a striking 
illustration of the rapid communication that now exists be- 
tween England and the East. Its seeds were put into the 
post in Chusan on the 13th November, 1843, and on the 
4th March, 1844, they were actually growing in the garden 
of the Horticultural Society. 
96. STENOMESSON aurantiacum. 
Herbert Amaryll. 198. 
This pretty bulbous plant has been raised in the garden of 
the Horticultural Society, where it was sent by Mr. Hartweg, 
who found it by the road from the Hacienda del Isco, on the 
ascent to Antisana, at an elevation of 11,000 feet above the 
sea. It has pretty drooping orange- coloured flowers, and 
narrow leaves with the edge remarkably rolled back. It will 
certainly be easy to grow in a greenhouse, if not hardy. 
/ 97. CRYPTANDRA suavis. 
C. suavis ; pilosa, foliis obovato-linearibus, floribus in ramulos laterales axil- 
laribus glabris, calycis tubo cylindraceo. : 
A pretty little greenhouse Swan River bush, raised by 
Mrs. Wray from seeds. It has small foliage like a broad- 
leaved heath, and minute white flowers appearing Jn profusion 
from the little side branches. It is as fragrant as Hawthorn, 
and therefore worth cultivation.
