14 GLEANINGS AND ORIGINAL MEMORANDA. 
ovate, sometimes varying to lanceolate, very acute, impunctate, nerveless, the margin reflexed, dark green above, pale 
and when dry almost white beneath. Peduncles axillary, solitary, single-flowered, with a pair of linear reflexed bracts 
at the setting on of the flower. Calyx-tube turbinate, dotted: limb of five (or rarely four) recurved, linear lobes, exactly 
resembling the bracts. Petals five (or four), erect, orbicular, very concave (forming a globose corolla), white, tinged with 
rose. Stamens numerous: anthers red. Style shorter than the petals, thick, subulate. Although, no doubt, sufficiently 
Experi- 
ments should, however, be made in all situations, to ascertain the degree of cold it will bear ; for if truly hardy it will 
prove a great acquisition to the ornamental shrubbery. Like most of the genus, it strikes freely from cuttings, —

hen we saw this in September last, in Messrs. Veitch's nursery, it was loaded with little pendulous spherical 
purple fruit, each having at its base the pair of bracts above described, curved back so as to resemble horns. We 
imagine it to be about as hardy as a common Myrtle ; but whether tender or not it is a charming acquisition, and must 
become a universal favourite.

483. PENTSTEMON BACCHARIFOLIUS. Hooker. A half-hardy perennial with long panicles of rich 
crimson flowers not unlike those of P. Hartwegii. Native of Texas. Introduced at Kew. 
Stems erect, or decumbent at the base, 
inates in the panicle), terete, stout and ri 
dark green, spreading, coarsely and spinescently toothed or serrated (genera 
ones spathulate, upwards on the stem becoming oblong, and finally, nearest 
same region as P. Wrightii, Judging by the appearance of 
the severe frost in November last, we may conelude that it is not sufficiently hardy to live throughout the 
winter without some protection ;rit is therefore desirable to keep a stock in pots, that may be placed in a cool
