Concerning this new shrub we have no information beyond the statement that it was found at Tein-tung. The aspect 
of the plant is not unlike that of an evergreen oak, but the leaves are perfectly smooth on each side. The berries when 
ripe are very small, and appear to be unusually pulpy, for, on drying, they shrivel up, and leave the ribs of the 4 stones 
winch they enclose quite apparent. It seems allied to Thunberg's Ilex rotunda. 
66. Cattleya spectabilis, of which there is a figure in the Florist of April (vol. iii. p. 92.), is 
only a finely blown specimen of C. pumila, and thus adds another to our list of aliases at p. 6. 
67. TroPjEOLUM Wagxerianum. Karsten. 
Judging from a coloured print circulated by Mr. F. A. Haage, Jun, of Erfurt, we should say that this is scarcely 
more than a variety of the Tropceohm figured at p. 9 of this volume ; differing in little except the form of the leaves 
which are represented to be hastate, and in the colour of the petals which appear to be dark violet instead of blue. 
68. Heuconia angtjstifolia. Hooker. A noble hothouse herbaceous plant from Brazil, with 
large crimson spathes, and snow-white flowers. Blossomed at Kew in January, 1846. Belongs to 
the order of Musads. 
A very handsome and rather dwarf species, introduced to Liverpool from Brazil. Its beautiful bright red spathes, 
deep orange-coloured ovaries, and white sepals tipped with green, have a very handsome effect. The flower-stem is 
sheathed by the bases of the long petioles, and the principal leaf is 1 4 foot long and about 3 inches wide, with a stout 
rib and parallel oblique veins, narrowed to a point at both ends, and glabrous, except that the rib beneath the very long 
taper petioles and cylindrical sheaths (at least in their upper part), is clothed with a scattered pulverulent or scurfy 
down. The rachts is a span and more long, deep red, bearing at distances of an inch or more, six or seven bright red 
spathes the lowest one 6 inches long, the rest gradually shorter and less acuminated. This belongs to a genus of 
troptcal plants inhabiting moist places, conspicuous by their fine broad leaves and showy flowers ; forming, with allied 
genera, dense thickets in their native localities. The present may be considered a dwarf species of the genus, as it does
