5S ARBORETUM NOTES. 
MAGNOLIACE. 
MAGNOLIA TRIPETALA. 
Loudon, v. 1, 269. 
The figure of this plant in Catesby’s Carolina, 
v. 2, plate 80, is very fine. | 
One in the American Garden, flowers, plenti- 
fully. Loudon’s remark as to the new stems 
shooting up frequently from the root, alongside 
of the old ones, is very correct, so (Glee 
the general form, now, is. rather that ofan 
upright shrub than of a. tree. The stems jane 
slender and sparingly branched. 
MAGNOLIA AURICULATA. 
Loudon, v. 1. 
One, in the American Garden, planted 1826, at 
same time with the Magnolia acuminata, which 
stands opposite. 
Flowers every summer. Stem slender for its 
height, sparingly and laxly branched, forming 
a very loose head. 
MAGNOLIA CONSPICUA. 
Loudon, v. 1. 278. 
In the arboretum, trained against a wall facing 
west; has flowered very well this year, 1860. 
Last year its flowers were all destroyed, just 
before expansion, by a late frost. It has survived 
the frost of last Christmas, and is now May 5th, 
1861, coming into leaf, but shows no sign of 
flowering.
