NEW AND RARE PLANTS. 91 



Boronia ledifolia. — Also in bloom at Messrs. Loddiges. The flowers are 

 of a bright pink. It is a very neat and ornamental plant, well deserving a place 

 in the greenhouse. 



Daphne Japonica. — In bloom in the Epsom Nursery. The flowers are pale 

 pink inside, and have a purplish tinge outside. They are most delightfully 

 fragrant. It is thought to be nearly hardy, thriving freely now in the green- 

 house. 



Daueentonia Tripetiana. — From Buenos Ayres to Paris, where it has 

 bloomed. It is about as hardy as Dianthus puniceus, and of a similar foliage 

 and habit. The flowers are produced in long racemes of from twenty to thirty 

 on each. They are pea-formed ; the standard of a beautiful carmine ; keel and 

 wings nearly orange, giving a pretty contrast. Each flower is about two-thirds 

 the size of a common garden pea. It does not endure frost, but flourishes well 

 in the open ground up to that season in autumn. In the greenhouse or conser- 

 vatory it would continue much later. It begins to bloom early in summer. It 

 is a very valuable acquisition. We hope to have plants for sale soon.
