GARLAND TABER3LEMONTANA. 



The foliage of this tree very beautifully contrasts with 

 its large blue-white double flowers ; which are often im- 

 properly called on this Coast, " wax flowers." The wax-

 has been recently introduced into European gardens. 



The single flowered variety is seen occasionally but not 

 often.

ALI/AMANDA. 



Tins is a climbing shrub, a native of South America, 

 which produces a great profusion of yellow bell flowers. 

 Xt differs in some respects from Voigt's description, and by 

 some would perhaps be referred to a different species, but 

 it accords very well with Lindley's in his Flora Medica.
