From the seed of a plant marked Cytisus cboUcus in the 

 garden of Professor Tenore, at Naples, and said to be a new 

 species discovered in Stromboli by Professor Gussone, this 

 plant was raised by the Honourable W. F. Strangways, in 

 his curious garden at Abbotsbury in Dorsetshire. It 

 flowered there this year for the first time in England, and 

 specimens were given me in May of the present year ; it is 

 expected that the blossoms will become handsomer and more 

 copious as it grows older.
