New and Bare Plants noticed in the London, and neighbouring 



Nurseries. 



Hovea Pungens,— This new species was introduced into this country by 

 Baron Hugel of Vienna, and has recently bloomed in the greenhouse at the 

 Tooting Nursery. The leaves are very narrow and long, giving the plant 

 a very pretty appearance. The flowers are of a purplish blue colour, and 

 produce a pleasing effect. It is a desirable plant for the greenhouse. 



Csloyne barbata. — This new and interesting orchideous plant, sent 

 from the East Indies to Messrs. Loddiges's, and has recently bloomed in 

 their collection. The flowers are produced on racemes. The sepals and 

 petals are white. The labellum is white streaked, and stained with bright 

 yellow, and at the base is tinged with pink. 



Pimelea incana.— is now in bloom at the Clapton Nursery. It is well 

 known that the Pimeleas in collections produce their flowers in corymbous 

 heads at the summit of the branches, and the plants usually become naked 

 a they advance in size, but the present species, though ten feet high, is 

 covered with branches, leaves and flowers, down to its very base. 



The flowers are white, produced on terminal pendant clusters, and pro- 

 duce a most charming effect. 



Gardoquia petonicoides. — We saw this new species in bloom at the 

 Clapton Nursery, at the same time as the Salvia patens. It is a herbace- 

 ous plant, blooming profusely in the open border in summer. It contras 

 with Salvias, &c. it produces a pretty effect when in 'masses. It is a native 

 of Mexico. The flowers are about the size of the pretty, and now well- 

 known species, G, multiflorn, of a bright rosy purple colour.
