of 
A pretty hybrid, said to have 
been raised between E. hiemalis and E. Hartnelli. Flowers tubular, deep rose, with a white flat 
border. 
JEschynanthus Javanicts. Hort. A most beautiful stove epiphyte introduced 
Messrs. Rollisson, from Java, with close racemes of bright red ascending flowers, each more than 
inches long, with a starry yellow throat. Belongs to the order of Gesnerads. 
At first sight this bears much resemblance to the JE. pulcher. The plant is more compact, the leaves smaller, the 
flowers all over down as well as the pediceb, the calyx truly cylindrical (not swollen below), the limb spreading, the 
corolla more slender and graceful, the stamens exserted. Leaves opposite, oval or ovate, sometimes approaching to 
oblong, between coriaceous and fleshy, obscurely angular and toothed, the veins sunk in the substance of the leaf. 
Corymbs terminal, of many large, handsome, richly-coloured flowers. Calyx large, greatly wider than the tube ot the 
corolla it includes, downy, dark green, red-brown above ; the tube cylindrical, faintly striated, the five lobes of the limb 
spreading horizontally. Corolla bright red, about thrice the length of the limb, the tube slender, funnel-shaped, downy, 
laterally compressed, with a prominence under the throat, mouth oblique, limb of four nearly equal, spreading, large 
ovate lobes, the upper one notched, the rest entire and streaked and blotched with yellow. Stamens all exserted, 
especially the upper ones. — Bottinical Magazine, t. 4503. 
EL&. TiiERESiA persic a. C. Koch. A hardy Liliaceous plant from Mount Ararat, where it is 
found at the elevation of 4000 feet. It is said to have the flowers of the same form as in Fritillaria, 
but the habit of a Lily. 
This is described as having a bell-shaped, hexapetaloid flower, with oblong coloured sepals, provided with a 
nectariferous cavity in the inside ; six hypogynous stamens included within the flower ; oval anthers, deeply pierced 
below to receive the filament ; a 5-celled, many-seeded, 5-angular, columnar ovary ; with a linear, entire style, and a 
scarcely distinguishable stigma. The bulbs are said to be like those of the Crown Imperial. It does not appear from the
