t. 2514, Euphorbia carinata of Donn's Hort. Cant. (E. canaliculata of 

 Lodd Cab. and Crepidaria carinata of Haworth's Succul. Plants, Suppl. 

 p. 67.) This appears to us not to be different from the figure in Dil- 

 leniuo' Hort. Elth. t. 288, the Pedilanthus tithgmaloides, /3. of Poiteau 

 in Ann. du Mus. v. 19. p. 390. t. 19. ft 1. and the P. tithgmaloides of 

 Kunth, in Humboldt's Nov. Gen. v. 2. p. 63. This is surely a good 

 genus ; Pedilanthus is the older name, though having the same meaning 

 as Mr. Haworth's Crepidaria. t. 2515, Malva prostata of Cavanilles, 

 and De Candolle. Introduced by the late Mr. JohnWalker from Brazil. 

 t. 2516, Ophrgs arachnites of Linn, and Willd.

 Lindley. t. 826, Leucadendron tortum, Br. t. 82T, Ardisia punctata,

 Roxb. Fl. ined. t. 830, Dolichos purpureus, Willd. t. 831, Arum cri- 

 nitum, Hort. Kew, and Willd, a remarkable plant, with the spatha 

 enormously large, not much unlike the extraordinary Aristolochia gran- 

 diflora, of which the blossoms are used by the children of South America 

 and the West Indies for bonnets. 



No. 116. October. 

 Tab. 832. Brassia caudata of Lindley, (Epidendrum of Linn, and 

 Malaxis of Willd.) Imported by Lee of Hammersmith from the 

 West Indies. Under the descriptive part of this plant we have an enu- 

 meration of the genera of the first section of " Epidendrea?, Ecalcarata?, 

 polliniis duobus." t. 833, Nicotiana nana, n. sp. " 2-3-uncialis, foliis 

 lanceolatis pilosis, radicalibus quam flores solitarii longioribus, corolla 

 calyce longiore, laciniis obtusis." A curious dwarf plant, sent to the

 are represented glabrous, and the flowers large, otherwise it very much 

 resembles the H. stricta of the Bot. Mag. t. 2526. t. 839, Acacia 

 calamifolia of Sweet in Colv. Cat. " petiolis filiformibus longissimis 

 cernuis, pedunculis solitariis petiolo multoties brevioribus, leguminibus
