NEW PLANTS. 



iELOGYNE CORRUGATA, Wrinkle-bulbed Cmlogyne {Bot. Mag., t. 

 5601). — OrchidefE. Tliis pretty species was introduced from India in 

 1863, and is now pretty generally distributed. It takes its name from 

 the wrinkled appearance of the pseudo-bulbs, which are ovate and two- 

 leaved. The leaves are a span long ; racemes three to six-flowered ; 

 sepals and petals nearly equal, pure white ; lip three-lobed, yellow, marked with 

 orange streaks. 



Fremontia Califorxica, Californian Fremontla {Bot. Mag., t. 5591).. — Mal- 

 vaceae. A singular and beautiful hardy Cali- 

 fornian shrub, imported by Messrs. Veitch.

 a fig-tree ; tlie flowers are numerous, golden 

 yellow, two to two and a half inches diameter. 

 Cotyledon fascicularis, Bundle-flowered 

 Cotyledon {Bot. Mag., t. 5602). — Crassulacere. 

 A beautiful South African succulent, intro- 

 duced by W. Wilson Saunders, Esq. The whole 

 plant is glaucous, leaves two to three inches 

 long, and one-third of an inch in thickness ;

Glyptostrobus pendulus, Pendulous 

 Deciduous Ci/press {Bot. Mag., t. 5603). — 

 Coniferete. This tree bears a close resem- 

 blance to Taxodiam disticlium, and, like that 

 plant, has pendulous spikes of male cones, 

 "with one or few female cones at the base of 

 the spike, and sheds its ultimate branches 

 annually. But it differs in foliage not being 

 distichous, in the scales of the cone not being 

 peltate ; and the habit is very remarkable, 

 owing to the great slenderness of the twisted 

 stem.
