instead of six to nine, as in C. cuneiformis. From the Gar- 

 den of the Horticultural Society. 



40. GESNERA Suttoni" (with white flowers). 



Botanical Register ^ vol. 19. t. 1637- 



Messrs. Whitle}' and Osborn, of the Fulham nursery, 

 have just flowered a white variety of this plant ; which is 

 an unexpected and very pretty alteration of the prevailing 

 scarlet in Gesneras. There is the least possible shade of 

 delicate salmon tint upon the flowers, which are otherwise in 

 size and form precisely like those of the original. It was 

 imported from Brazil. 



41. CAMPANULA grandis. 



Fischer and Meyer. 



I cannot find the place where this plant is described. It 

 is now flowering in the Garden of the Horticultural Society, 

 where it has been raised under this name, from seeds received 

 from St. Petersburgh, and is very like a magnificent variety 

 of Campanula persicifolia, with the flowers of C. pyramidalis. 

 Natolia is said by Steudel to be its native country. The 

 flowers are deep blue, of the form of Campanula pyramidalis, 

 and between two and three inches in diameter. There are 

 few hardy herbaceous plants so handsome. 



42. BERBERIS umbellata. Wallich. 



A specimen of this new hardy shrub has flowered in the 

 garden of W. Wells, Esq. of Redleaf, where it has been raised 

 from Nepal seeds. It is something like B. aristata, but has 

 much narrower leaves, very decidedly glaucous underneath. 

 From B. coriaria it difi*ers in the same character, and in the 

 flowers being much smaller, and in long stalked clusters. 

 The branches and spines are remarkably slender. The 

 leaves are narrow, obovate, mucronate, slightly toothed, with 

 very distant veins on a glaucous ground upon the under sur- 

 face.
