24 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



bloom at Mr. Young's, Epsom. It is a greenhouse plant of a twining" Labit, 

 the flowers are more than an inch across, of a fine deep orange colour ; pro- 

 duced in abundance, and hang in a very graceful manner. It is a tine au- 

 tumnal flowering plant, well worth a place in every greenhouse. 



Nemnphila atomaria. A new species now in bloom in the greenhouse at Mr. 

 Young's, Epsom, the flowers are not so showy as N. insignis, but are very 

 pretty, they are white delicately spotted with blue. 



Cboiizema rr.anzlesii. This fine new species is in bloom at Messrs. Rollin- 

 sons, Tootino- Nursery. The plant is of a very fine luxuriant habit, much 

 more so tuanC. ovata ; and the flowers, though of the same colour as that 

 species are much larger, making a very showy appearance. It well merits a 

 place in every greenhouse. 



Thwbergia lutea, This new and pretty flowering species we saw in bloom 

 at Mr- Low's, Clapton, nursery, the flowers are about the size of T. alata, of 

 a paler yellow colour, without a dark eye. It is a neat and interesting" species 

 well worth growing. 



Verbena aranana — named in compliment to the Earl of Aran. This beauti- 

 ful plant proves a great addition to that already interesting tribe, it is deci- 

 dedly more shrubby than V. Tweediana, the blooms are of a bluish purple 

 colour. It originated from seeds sent by Mr. Tweedie, from Buenos Ayres, 

 to the Edinburgh and Dublin Botanic Gardens. 



Tnssiflora. A fine hybrid variety, is in bloom at Mr. Knights Nursery, Kings 

 Road. II has been raised between P. princess, and P alata. The flowers 

 have the graceful form &c. of the former, and are of a beatiful cream colour. 

 The plant has the vigorous habit of the latter species. It is a valuable ac- 

 quisition, and when grown in contrast with P. princess will produce a pretty 

 effect 



REFERENCE TO PLATE. 



Clintonia pulchdla. This very neat and elegant little annual is a native of 

 California, where it was discovered by the late Mr, Douglas. Seeds of it 

 were sent to the London Horticultural Society, and since have been liberally 

 distributed through the country. It is a hardy annual, ripening its seeds 

 freely. The plant grows procumbent, rising about six inches high, and 

 producing a profusion of bloom. _ It is very neat tor a small bed, edging for 

 a bed, rock work, or in patches in the general mixture of a border. It de- 

 serves a place in every flower garden. Seeds may be obtained of most 

 Seedsmen. 



Glycine Harrisonia. A greenhouse plant of extraordinary beauty. The 

 flowers are produced in long racemes, of ten or twelve on each. Each 

 blossom is, at least, three times the size of those figured, our limits not 

 allowing a figure of the full extent. The blossoms at first are white and 

 violet, afterwards changing to yellow and brown. 



The plant grows very rapidly, climbing to the extent of twenty feet in a 

 season, and producing a profusion of flowers. When trained under a roof 

 as the vine, the blossoms hanging in abundance, have a beautiful appearance. 

 They are delightfully fragrant, perfuming for some distance around. We 

 do not know the native country of the plant, a seed of it had been sent to a 

 friend of ours, who presented us with the plant. We shall have a number 

 for sale in the course of this spring.
