NEW PLANTS. 



YACINTHUS caudicans (Eef. Bot., 174).— A splendid greenhouse 

 bulb with flower-scape four feet long, bearing fifteen to twenty pure 

 white llowers. It is a native of South Africa, and one of the finest 

 amongst the many fine plants introduced from that country. 



Statice spicata. — This beautiful annual species was described at 

 page 190, and now, thanks to the kindness of Messrs. Hooper and Co., of the 

 Central Avenue, Covent Garden Market, W.(J., we are enabled to present our readers

with a characteristic figure of a complete plant. It appears that this species is not 

 strictly new, having been introduced into this country as far back as 1818, but, 

 like many other good tilings, has from some cause or other gone out of cultivation, 

 and we hail its re-introduction with a considerable amount of pleasure. 



Hyacixthus princets (Eef. Bot., 175). — A handsome greenhouse bulb with 

 nodding greenish-white flowers. This is a native of the same South African region 

 as the foregoing. 



Callipsyche aurantiaca (Eef. Bot. 167). — A handsome warm greenhouse 

 amaryllid with golden yellow flowers. 



Callypsyche mirabilis {Ref. Bot. 168). — A curious amaryllid bearing 

 greenish -yellow flowers.
