31. ASTYRIA rosea. 
This is a fine steve plant from the Mauritius, with the 
habit of a Dombeya, and with nearly the same structure, but 
essentially distinguished by the want of sterile stamens. The 
only species known to us has large soft cordate crenated 
leaves, and dense panicles of large pinkish flowers seated on 
a woolly footstalk, much shorter than that of the leaf. It 
has blossomed with his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, 
and will shortly be figured in this work; till which time a 
full account of the plant is deferred. 
329. HYPOCALYMMA suavis. 
H. suavis ; foliis oppositis filiformibus plano-convexis glandulosis mucronatis, 
floribus geminis axillaribus sessilibus, staminibus corollà longioribus. 
This plant is very near H. angustifolium, and may be a 
mere variety. It seems, however, to differ in having longer 
leaves and stamens, in addition to which the flowers are 
white not pink. Itis a graceful greenhouse shrub, very sweet- 
scented, and altogether a very nice plant. It was raised in 
the garden of the Horticultural Society from Swan River 
seeds. 
33. ANDROMEDA phillyreefolia. 
. Hooker. Ic. Plant. 2. t. 122. 
For the introduction of this beautiful greenhouse shrub 
we are indebted to Messrs. Loddiges, with whom it flowered 
in January last. It is a narrow-leaved evergreen, with convex 
leaves serrated near the point, and short horizontal racemes 
of white lowers. In habit it is not very unlike a large broad- 
leaved form of Andromeda polifolia.
