flowers, very little streaked with crimson. Mr. Cunningham 

 found it at Moreton Bay, in swampy ground. It has lately 

 flowered in the nursery of Mr. Knight of the King's Road. 



89. PODOLOBIUM berberifolium. A. Cunningh. mss. 



Mr. Knight, of the Exotic nursery, King's Road, has 

 raised this plant from New Holland seeds. It is a pretty 

 greenhouse bush, with axillary clear orange-yellow pea- 

 flowers, relieved by a dull red keel and streaks on the base 

 of the standard. It is nearly related to Podolobium trilo- 

 batum, but has much darker and smaller leaves, which are 

 also more prickly. It may however be only a variety of 

 P. trilobatum. 



90. EPIDENDRUM (Encyclium) hastatum, Lindley in Hooker's Journal, 

 vol. 3, p. 82. (pseudobulbis ovatis, foliis linearibus acutis.) 



A very fragrant species from Bolanos, imported by Messrs. 

 Loddiges. There appear to be two varieties, one with purple 

 and the other with green sepals. In both the lip is 

 white, and the column dull deep purple. It produces a 

 simple raceme of flowers about a foot long. 



91. GERANIUM erianthum. DeCand. prodr. 1. 641. 



A handsome hardy perennial, raised in the garden of the 

 Horticultural Society from N. W. American seeds, presented 

 by the late H. Moreton Dyer, Esq. It has grey leaves, and 

 large rich purple flowers. It is one of our best herbaceous 

 plants for the border of a shrubbery. 



92. ERIGERON squarrosum; (Sect. 1. § 1. x. DC.) caulibus erectis eorym- 



bosis dense pubescentibus, foliis glabris lucidis radicalibus spathulatis 

 longe petiolatis cauknis sessikbus ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis, ligulis 

 linearibus, involucro glanduloso squarroso. 



A hardy perennial from N. W. America, much resem- 

 bling the common Stenactis speciosa, from which it differs in 

 having broader radial florets, leaves of a different form, and 

 an involucre whose leaflets are closely covered with glands, 

 and distinctly squarrose. It is a good herbaceous plant ; the 

 seeds were procured for the Horticultural Society by the 

 late H. Moreton Dyer> Esq.
