and very handsome. The corolla is an inch and a half 
across, with a flat limb, a very short tube, and long projecting 
stamens. 
“ The species has been regarded by M. Choisy as a 
variety of Jacquemontia violacea, the Convolvulus pentanthus 
of gardens, but it is certainly quite distinct and far handsomer. 
** It grows freely in soil composed of equal parts of peat 
and loam, mixed with a little sand. In this country it must 
be treated as a greenhouse climber, and its slender stems 
trained round a trellis fixed in a pot, or it may be planted out 
in the border of the house and trained up the rafters. In 
either place it will succeed very well, and flower abundantly 
during summer and autumn. It strikes readily from cuttings 
prepared in the usual way. 
** [t is a welcome addition to our collections of greenhouse 
creepers, as its habit is neat, and the flowers are of the same 
colour and larger than in the J. violacea just noticed." 
New GARDEN PLANT. 
TELIPOGON OBOVATUS. 
T obovatus ; rachi flexuosá alata, bracteis ovatis acutis falcato-cucullatis, 
petalis oblongis acutis, labello duplo majore obovato rotundato. 
A curious plant, sent from Peru by Mr. Lobb to Messrs. 
Veitch, by whom it has been sold. It has not yet flowered ; 
but it will prove a very nice plant when it does blossom. Its 
flower-stem is six inches high ; the flowers are bright yellow, 
an inch and three-quarters in diameter. It is near T. lati- 
folius, but its flowers are larger, and its lip, instead of being 
shaped like the petals, is larger, and quite round at the point.
