which, it stands out, without any protection, against a wall at Kew ; and, in 

 September, 1836, it was as high as the wall, and covered with flowers. Our 

 Jig. 2442. was taken from a sprig of this plant. 



•' D. nutans Wall. MSS., Graham in Edin. Phil. Journ., Don's Mill., ii. 

 293., Hook. Bot. Mag., t. 2867., andourj'?g. 2443., is a shrub, with numerous 

 pendulous branches; racemes of flowers compound, terminal, and axillary; 

 leaves pendulous ; leaflets roundish, rhomboid, tomentose on both sides ; flowers 

 twin ; corolla bluish lilac; stamens monadelphous. A native of the East Indies. 

 Introduced in 1823, and flowering in July and August. There is a plant in 

 the Horticultural Society's Garden, which has stood out for some years 

 against a south wall, flowering freely every year, and ripening seeds, from which 

 young plants have been raised."

 Wistaria chinensis. 648. line 23. from the bottom, add, after " British gardens :" 

 " Mr. Knight, of the Exotic Nursery, Chelsea, has a simple method of 

 causing this plant to flower three times in the year, by the following 

 treatment. After the first flowering is over, which will be about the end 

 of May, he strips off all the leaves, and cuts ofl'all young and super- 

 ' fluous shoots which have been formed, to within a few eyes of the 

 stem, which causes it to throw out fresh leaves, and to flower again 

 in the months of July and August ; and, after this flowering is over, 

 the same process is repeated of cutting off the leaves, and this causes 

 it to flower again in the months of October and November. It may 

 be said that this plant will naturally flower twice, and sometimes thrice, 

 in the season; but, when it does (which is but very seldom), the flowers 

 are so very weak, and there are so few of them, that it is never worth 

 notice; wnereas by the above simple process an abundant succession of 

 flowers may be insured throughout the whole season. It should be 

 remembered that these remarks will not apply to t/ouug plants, but 

 only to those that are well established. ( See Faxt. Mag. of Bot. 

 Feb. 1837.)"
