NEW OR RARE PLANTS, 



(Noticed since our last.) 



ANIGOZANTHUSFLAV1DA; var. BICOLOR. Two-coloured yellow-haired 

 Anigozanthus riot. Reg. 64. 



H.EMODORACEae. HEXANDRIA, MONOGYMA. 



1. A handsome variety of A. flavida, which it much resembles in growth 

 and shape, but is much superior to that kind, by the striking beauty of it» 

 colours, scarlet and green, which are so blended together as to produce a 

 rich effect, which is rarely the case when the two beautiful colours in 

 question are united in the same flower. We were favored a short time ago 

 by a kind friend with a package of seeds collected in New Holland, and 

 amongst them, we notice, are several species of this genus, which from the 

 description attached, we are led to believe, are entirely new. 



CAT TLEYA GUTTATA; var. RUSSELLIANA. Lord E. Russell's spot- 

 ted Cattleya. Bot. Mag. 3893. 



ORCHIDACE/E. GVNANDRIA, MONANDRIA. 



2. This very beautiful variety of C. guttata was originally given by the 

 Director of the Botanic Garden at Rio, to Lord Edward Russell, Captain in 

 the Koyal Navy, who introduced it into the collection of Woburn Abbey, 

 where it blossomed for the fust time in this country in August last. It is 

 highly deserving of a place in every collection of select orchideae. The 

 flowers are five inches across, the petals are of a fine greenish brown, spotted 

 with purple, and the lip of a beautiful delicate rose colour. Requires the 

 same treatment as other species. 



COLLINSU HETEROPHYLLA. Variable-leaved Collinsia. 



Bot. Mag. 3695. 



SCROFHULARINEJE. DIDYNAMIA ANG IOSPERMIA. 



3. This species forms an improvement upon G. bicolor. on account of the 

 blossoms being much larger, but in other respects, it bears a very great 

 resemblance to that species. It was sent last spring by Mr. Buist from Phi- 

 ladelphia to the Edinburgh Botanic Garden. Seeds of it will, we doubt not, 

 soon be.offered to the public. 



COMPARETT1A COCClNEA. Scarlet Comparettia. Bot. Reg, 68. 



ORCHIDACE/R. GYNANDRIA. MONANDRIA. 



4. A very splendid epiphyte, aud was introduced by Messrs. Loddiges'from 

 Brazil. Doctor Lindley, however, conjectures some mistake is made in this, 

 as he has received specimens which were collected in Xalapa. The blos- 

 soms are about the size of Oncidium fle\uosum, but of a brilliant scarlet
