MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 239 



Anigozanthus Manglesii. — We saw some fine specimens of this interesting 

 plant in bloom at Mr. Henderson's, Pine Apple Nursery. Captain Mangles 

 Jt. N. has greatly enriched the collections in this country by many valuable 

 acquisitions from the Swan River, and other places; and the floriculturalists 

 of this country are under great obligations to that Gentleman for the disin- 

 terested zeal, and great expence, that he has incurred, therein. The flower 

 of this species we saw in bloom, and referred to above, has a green coloured 

 limb, and the tubular part is of a bright scarlet, and very densely clothed 

 with red hairs. It is ornamental for the greenhouse, and equally so when 

 grown in the open bed during summer. 



Dilwynia Speciosa.— A very showy flowering new species, well deserving 

 to be in every greenhouse ; the neat yellow and red flowers produced ; being 

 very showy. 



Lillium Tenuifolium. — The flowers of this species are of a deep-red, each 

 blossom being about two inches across, of the turban form. The plants we 

 saw at Mr. Low's were grown in the Greenhouse, and the flower stem about 

 half a yard high ; but it is very probable that it flourishes in the open border 

 during summer. The small, neat, and fine coloured flowers, strongly re- 

 commended it to any collection. 



Lillium Thunbergianum. — We saw this new species at Mr. Low's but it 

 was not in bloom. 



Arbatus procera.— This fine leaved species, Mr. Low informed us, is quite 

 hardy, it merits a place in every shrubbery, its leaves being not only large, 

 but of a fine green. 



Arbutus tomentosa. — This is found to be hardy, it is very singularly 

 covered with hairs, plants are offered by Mr. Low at two guineas each. 



Paeonia festiva albiflora. — Mr. Low possesses this new and fine plant, the 

 flowers are delightfully fragrant, very large, and showy, they are white, with 

 a tinge of crimson on the edge of the petals. The price per plant is twelve 

 guineas. 



Kennedy a Nova spec. — Some time back we received seeds of this new spe- 

 cies from Edward Young Esq., Caddington, near Newark; and have been 

 successful in raising a plant. We have been informed by a gentleman 

 who has seen the species in bloom, that the flowers are of a very large size, 

 and of a fine scarlet colour ; the plant is a very vigorous grower, with the 

 habit of the K. rubicunda, but of more rapid growth, and producing numerous 

 branches. It is said very far to exceed in beauty any other species yet dis- 

 covered. Its large fine scarlet and numerously produced flowers, rendering 

 it very showy. 



Tweedia grandiflora.— The plant in its appearance is very like Poeonica 

 tenifolia. The flowers are of a pale blue rosy purple. 



Russia:. — Mr. Henderson had in bloom three new species of this neat and 

 interesting tribe, the flowers of one was entirely yellow, another, nearly all 

 of a dark brown with a yellow keel, each kind is very pretty and when to be 

 purchased deserve a place in every greenhouse. 



Nuttallia cordata. — This pretty species has bloomed at the Nursery of Mr. 

 Young's Epsom. The flowers are of a pretty rose colour and when grown in 

 contrast with the higher coloured kinds, produced a pretty effect. 



Nuttallia Malvifolia — Mr. Young also possesses this new species, but we 

 understood it had not hlonmed with him. 



Kpacris ceriflorus. — This very neat flowering species produces its beautiful 

 white flowers in a dense mass, in spikes of a foot or upwards long. It ought 

 to be in every greenhouse. 



Viburnara Japonicum. — A very fine species, with leaves about ten inches 

 long, and four hroad, of a fine deep green. If this prove hardy, it will be a 

 fine additiou to the shrubbery. This species is growing in the collection at 

 the Epsom Nursery.

Kuelzia fragrans. — A hardy evergreen Shrub. The plant has a powerful 

 tnt like Pot Marjoram. This is in the collection at Epsom.
