A pretty little perennial rock-plant, introduced from the 

 North of India by the Hon. Court of Directors of the East 

 India Company. Its stems are densely leafy and rise grace- 

 fully upwards in a curved manner. The flowers are white, 

 nodding, with pale pink veins, and arc placed in naked 

 racemes at the ends of all the branches. The stamens pro- 

 ject beyond the corolla. This has flowered abundantly in the 

 Garden of the Horticultural Societv.

 subcarnosis albido-glaucis, floribus laxe racemosis (fusco-lnteis atrostri- 

 atis), sepalis brevibus linearibus obtusis, calcare corolla breviore, palato 

 adpresso pubescente. 



A new perennial from the North of India, introduced by 

 the East India Company. It has very narrow pale glaucous 

 leaves, and dull yellowish brown flowers painted with dark 

 lines. It is near L. odora, and macrura, but seems different 

 from both. Its seeds will be described hereafter, if they are 

 produced. 



152. CONVOLVULUS scopanus. 



I have just received from Mr. Barker Webb the following 

 interesting communication concerning this curious and little 

 known plant, a figure of which was given last month, fol. 43. 



" I have just seen in your number of the Botanical Re- 

 gister for this month, the very characteristic figure you have 

 given of Convolvulus scoparius. Not being acquainted with 

 the fruit, you could not assign to it a precise position amongst 

 the convolvulaceous genera. I had long since (11 years ago, 

 in the Canary Islands) prepared for it the outlines of a group 

 I call Hhodorhiza, and do not see any reason at present to 

 change my opinion. I enclose the characters of this new 

 genus with a few remarks, as some months may. elapse before 

 theConvolvulacese can appear in the Phytographia Canadensis.
