tent to class them under numerous subgenera. If therefore neither 

 Salzwedelia, nor Voglera, nor any other divisions can be admitted 

 as genera, the group of Teline, the types of which are G. candicans 

 and G. Canadensis (the latter considered to be a genus by Moench 

 and in the ' Phytographia Canariensis') must subside likewise into a 

 sub-genus, though geographically most distinct, occupying almost 

 exclusively the south-western extremity of the Old World. Nine 

 Telines were described in the 'Phytographia Canariensis;' to 

 these must be added the Spartium virgatum of Madeira; the 

 present species ; and another, the seeds of which were sent with 

 it from Teneriffe, and which has flowered in Mr. Young's garden 

 G. {Teline) discolor, nob. ; with a fourth yet unnamed from the 

 mountains about Tetuan ; in all thirteen species, of which eight 

 are peculiar to the Canaries, two to Madeira, and three to the 

 western shores of the Mediterranean region. 



The G. {Teline) iSpac/iiana, indigenous to the high mountains 

 of the N.W. of Teneriffe, will probably prove hardy in the cli- 

 mate of England. It existed for several years at Paris in the 

 open ground, and was only destroyed by the cold of the late severe 

 winter.— P. B. Webb.
