yellow, which, in its turn, blends with 
the green below it. This species was 
raised in 1833, from imported seeds, at 
Hayes’ Place, Kent, the seat of Miss 
Trail. ‘One of the plants survived the 
winter in the open border ; and this has 
happened to be the first to flower, which 
it did in October, 1834. The rest of the 
plants began to blossom soon after, and 
all apparently varying in the degree of 
‘intensity of colour. In a sheltered bor- 
der, with a southern aspect, we have no 
doubt of its flowering quite as well as if 
retained in the conservatory.” (Brit. Fi. 
Gard.) This very beautiful plant well 
deserves trial against a wall, more espe- 
cially in the south of England, where it 
is almost certain to succeed. 
B. suaveolens Willd. Enum., Datura 
arborea Hort., is awell known ornament 
of the green-house ; and, being decidu- 
ous, may be taken up in the autumn, 
when the wood is ripe, and the leaves 
have dropped, preserved in a cellar or pit ‘Wy 
through the winter, and turned out again NN) base 
in spring. Fig. 1120. will give an idea of : HI {iit I 
the beauty of this plant ; respecting which BW 
a great variety of information will be 
found in the Gardener's Magazine, particularly in vol. xii., at p. 589. An instance is there given of 
a plant being turned out into the sy ae border on the Ist of June, with its ball entire ; and, after it 
had grown a month, and the roots had been cut all round, close to the old ball, it was surrounded 
with a quantity of rotten manure, in consequence of which it grew so f 
vigorously, that, from the middle of May to the end of September, it 
expanded 1050 flowers, each of which measured 50 square inches. In Ger- 
many it may frequently be seen splendidly in flower in the open border, 
the plants being taken up and preserved in dry cellars during winter. 
. Solindra grandiflora L. is a rambling 
Jamaica shrub, with large pale yellow 
flowers, which, being deciduous, might 
be tried with the same kind of treat- 
ment as that recommended for Brug- 
mfansfa suaveolens. (See Gard. Mag., 
vol. ii. p. 48., and vol. ix. p. 107.) 
Céstrum noctirnum L., Dill. Elth., 
p. 153. t. 185., and our fig. 1119., is a 
shrub, a native of the East Indies, 
where it grows ‘to the height of 6 ft. or 
7ft., and produces its white flowers in 
October and November. Though ge- 
nerally kept in the stove, it has been 
found to stand the winter in the Hor- 
j ticultural Society’s Garden, with no other 
protection than that of a wall. 
C. Parqui L., Bot. Mag., t. 1770., and 
our jig. 1122., is a native of Chili, with / 
ale yellow flowers, which are produced 
in June and July. It stands out in the 
Chelsea Botanic Garden, and flowers 
* freely every year. The circumstance 
of two species of a genus composed 
almost entirely of plants from hot cli- 
mates succeeding so wellin the open air, is an encouragement to try all 
stove plants whatever in that way ; since many of them, hitherto kept in 
stoves, are, doubtless, as hardy as Céstrum. +
