of the season at which these appear. Price of plants, in the London nur-

Variety. 
% C.0. 2 brachjpodus. Dec. Prod., iv. p. 539.— Leaves elliptic-oblong, 
3 in a whorl, or short petioles ; petioles 3—4 lines long. There are 
varieties of this, with either glabrous or downy branches, A native 
of the north of Mexico, near Rio de‘la Trinidad and Bejar, where it 
was collected by Berlandier. (Don’s Mill., iii. p. 610.) 
Some other species of Cephalénthus are described in De Candolle’s Prodromus 
and Don’s Miller ; but they are natives of South America, the East Indies, 
or China, and are considered as requiring the green-house or the stove. 
App. I.  Half-hardy ligneous Plants belonging to the Order 
Rubiaceae. 
Pinckniya pitbens Michx. (North Amer. Syl., 1, p. 260. t. 49. ) 
and our fig. 830.), Pincknéya pubéscens Per's., Cinchona caro- 
liniana Poir.,is a tree growing to the height of 20 ft., in 
Georgia, South Carolina, and other parts of North America. 
The branches and leaves are tomentose, and the flowers 
rather large, pubescent, and white, tinged with red. The 
tree divides into numerous branches, and is covered with large 
light green leaves, which are downy beneath, but it is not par- 
ticularly ornamental. In America it is called Georgia bark, 
and was originally supposed to belong to the same genus as 
the cinchona, which it strongly resembles. It is interesting 
for the properties of its bark; which partakes of the same 
bitter qualities as that of the cinchona; and which is employed 
successfully in the alleviation of the intermittent fevers which 
prevail in the country where it is a native. The wood is 
soft, and unfit for use in the arts. In England, the plant is 
generally kept in green-houses or cold-pits; but it will 
thrive much better if planted in the free ground, and trained 
against a wall with a southern exposure, It requires a shady Situation, and is said to thrive best 
in a mixture of sand and peat.

Diss., with a fig.; Dysdda foe’tida Salisb. Prod., p. 60.; Sperma- he 
cdce fruticdsa Desf. Hort. Par. ; is a native of China, Japan, and 
other parts of the East, where it forms a bushy shruh, growing to 
the height of 2 ft. or 3ft., with small, dark green, shining leaves, 
a little deflexed ; and flowers which are white within, and reddish 
without, and often single and double on the same plant. In Japan, 
it is frequently planted for hedges. It was introduced in 1787, 
and grows freely in our green-houses, in amixture of loam, peat, 
and sand, flowering during the most part of the summer. 
Plécama péndula Ait.; Bartlingia scoparia Rchb. Icon. Exot., 
t.11.; is a small, glabrous, much branched shrub, with the 
branches round, slender, and pendulous, and the leaves linear, 
filiform, and opposite. It is a native of the Canary Islands, ¢ 
where it grows to the height of 2 ft.; and was introduced in 
1779, but has not yet flowered. 
Ph@llis Nodbla L. (Dill. Elth., p. 405. t. 299. f. 386.) has been an 
inhabitant of our green-houses since 1699. It is a glabrous 
shrub, with round branches, and small greenish white flowers, which are produced in June and July - 
Anthospérmum ethidpicum L.; Ambraria Heisteri Walth. Hort., t.9., Hort. Cliff., t.27., Pluk. 
Alm., t. 193. f. 1. ; is a branched shrub, with small linear leaves, shining above, and whitish beneath. 
The male and female flowers are produced on different plants, the former being brownish, and the 
latter green. This is an evergreen Cape shrub, an old inhabitant of our green-houses, where it forms 
a dense fastigiate bush, sometimes as high as 4 ft., and flowering in June and July. It well deserves 
a place against the conservative wall. 
ubia fruticdsa Ait., Don’s Mill., 3. p. 643., Jacq. Icon. Rar., t. 25.; R. fruticdsa canadénsis Poi. ; 
is a native of the Canary Islands, where it grows to the height of 4 ft. or 5 ft., and produces its small 
yellowish flowers in September. It is chiefly remarkable for its leaves, which are from 2 to 6 in a 
phe end, as it is somewhat shrubby, it deserves a place against a conservative wall, or on dry 
rockwork, 
Bouvardia Jacquini H. B. et Kunth Don’s Mill., 3. p.486.; B. triphYlla Hort. ; Houstonza coc- 
cinea Bot. Tep., t.106.; is a native of Spain, growing to the height of 2 ft. or 3ft., with scarlet 
tubular flowers, with a tube about 9 lines long, which appear from April to November. It is a most 
desirable shrub, for turning out into beds and borders during the summer season, or for training 
against a low conservative wall. There are two forms of it in British collections, one with leaves 
much more pubescent than those of the other. 
Manéttia glabra Cham. et Schlect., Swt. Fl. Gard., 2d ser., t. 334. ; M. cordifolia Mart., Hook. Bot. 
Mag., t. 3202., Gard, Mag., ix. p. 107., and x, 238.; is an exceedingly elegant little twiner, with scarlet 
tubular corollas, and broad deep green leaves. It is a native of Buenos Ayres; and, Professor D. 
Don observes, will doubtless succeed well in the open border during summer,
