THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 247 



Royal Gardens, Kew. The plant is a small stout epipliyte, stems fonr to ten inches 

 long, as thick as the little linger ; leaves loosely imbricate, an inch and a half 

 broad, leathery. Eacemcs drooping, lax-flowered ; flowers white, with a pale 

 greenish tinge. 



Anthuiuum ScHEEzEKiiNUM, Scherze/s Anthtirium {L'lllusf. IToi't., t. 484). — 

 Orontiaceaj. This is the most beautiful of the noble genus to which it belongs, and 

 has, during the past two seasons, been so frequently exhibited, as to have acquired 

 a high renown as an ornamental plant. It is a native of Guatemala and Costa 

 Rica. The leaves are oblong acuminate, six inches long, leathery, dark green ; the 

 inflorescence consists of a broad oblong ovate spike, of a brilliant scarlet colour, and 

 a coiled spadix of a bright orange red. Its abundant flowering, brilliant colours, 

 and short habit, are characters of the liighest importance to all cultivators of orna- 

 mental stove plants. 



Lobelia cobonopifolia, Upright Raceme-Jloivered Lobelia (Vlllust. Kort., 

 t. 485).— Lobeliaceffi. This pretty herbaceous plant was introduced to this country 

 in 1752, and again in 17S7, and again in 1812. It appears to have been lost soon 

 afterwards in each case. It lias been again introduced by Messrs. Bacldiouse and 

 Son, of York ; and as there are now many collectors who value beautiful lierbaseous 

 plants, it may acquire a permanent place in English gardens. It is of robust habit, 

 with narrow, obscurely-lobed leaves, and upright racemes, bearing from four to six 

 large flowers, of a clear azure colour. 



Rose (T.) Isabelle Sprunt [L'lllust. Sort., t. 486). — Rosaceaj. A new and 

 beautiful tea rose, raised by Mr. Buchanan, of New York. It is of a rather slender 

 and free-growing habit, with glossy dark green leaves and purplish leaf-stalks. The 

 flowers are large, with very broad jjetals, which roll back in the way of Devoniensisj 

 the colour primrose-white, deepening at the base to canary-yellow.
