NEW PLANTS. 



Bignonia prandijlota. This very fine new species we saw at Mr, Lowe's 

 of the Clapton Nursery. The leaves have a noble appearance, each being 

 ten inches long, and proportionably broad. We could not ascertain any- 

 thing respecting its blossoms, but if they correspond with the foliage, in 

 such an increased proportion over any other species we have seen, it will 

 be a plant of extraordinary beauty. JvJr. Lowe has uot got plants for 

 sale. 



Clematis azurea grandiflora Thi3 is an improvement upon that truly bean- 

 tiful species we noticed on a former occasion , and gave a figure of it in 

 December 1836. This new kind Mr. Lowe does not yet offer for sale. 



Campanula verberuefolia. We noticed this new and beautiful species too. 

 at the Clapton Nursery, and we understand it is a native of Japan. It 

 produces its flowers in spikes, which are of a very handsome light blue 

 colour. Mr. Lowe will have plants for sale next spring. 



Aralia japonica . This is a singularly pretty plant, it bears a fine foliage 

 which is very spiny on the upper surface, and produces a striking appear- 

 ance. 



Anipozanlhus cuccinea. This is new, and.we were informed that it is very 

 handsome, it is most probably a greenhouse plant, but we forgot to ask 

 the question. Mr. Lowe will have plants for sale next season. 



Deulzia corymbosa. Mr. Lowe has plenty of plants for sale of this new spe- 

 cies, it- had not yet bloomed at the Clapton Nursery, and we could not ob- 

 tain any information respecting its flowers, but if the blossoms be as 

 pretty as the D scabra, being produced in corymbs, they will have a pretty 

 appearance. 



Clematis hi desari folia. Mr Lowe has got another addition to this justly 

 admired genus, the foliage is singular when compared with the other kinds, 

 we have seen. Of the flowers we could not obtain any information. This 

 new species is not yet offered for sale. 



Echium simplex. This very pretty species of Bugloss, Mr. Lowe pos- 

 sesses. The flowers are white and produced in spikes, having a neat ap- 

 pearance. It is a greenhouse species we understand. 



Correa rufa. This is a new and fine greenhouse plant from Van DiemanV 

 Land, being discovered on Mount Wellington. The flowers are said to be 

 very handsome, viz. sulphur, orange, and green. It is a valuable ac- 

 quisition for the greenhouse. Mr. Lowe will have plants for sale next 

 season. 



Clematis montana. Messrs. Rollinson of Tooting Nnrsery, possess this 

 new species. It was sent into this country by Lady Amherst having 

 been obtained from the Indian Himaylayan mountains. The flowers are 

 white. 



Gladiolus ramosus. Mr. Groom of Walworth, had fine plants in bloom of 

 this splendid flowering species, which grow freely in the open border. 

 The flowers are produced in large spikes, each blossom is three inches or 

 more in length, of a fine rosy red colour, having a white stripe up each 

 petal- It deserves a place in every flower garden. 



Cytisus filipa. Mr. Lowe possesses this new species, it is a handsome 

 greenhouse plant, producing numerous spikes of white flowers ; when grown 

 in contrast with the old yellow flowering species, it will produce a prett? 

 effect. 



Lobelia royymbosa. Mr. Young of the Epsom Nursery, possesses plants of 

 this new and interesting spcoies, the flowers are white, having rose coloured 

 spots interspersed, and being produced in corvmbous heads, have a prcttv 

 ♦ffeot. J
