 vated extensively, with others by Mr. Curtis, at Flazenwood. The flower is

LABIATiE. DIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 



6. Tt is a native of the rocks of Caucasus. It is a hardy herbaceous plant, 

 having the leaves covered with whitish wool, but the stems with longish hairs.

 ing spikes, which rise to about two feet high. It is a pretty plant either for

 don Horticultural Society. 



TRITONIA FACCATA. Vainted Tritonia (Bot. Reg. 35. 



IKIDACEOJ. TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 



7. Cultivated in the collection of the Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert, Spafl'orth 

 Mr. WeUierby, who received bulbs of it from the Cape of Good Hope, 

 Iwenty-rive years ago, but it did not bloom till last year, and that appears 

 to have been the result of dung having been laid over the patches of bulbs 

 in the open border. The flowers are produced i-pon a spike (twelve or more 

 upon each) which is decurved from the part where the first flowers arise, 

 from which circumstance, the flowers standing erect, show themselves advan- 

 tageously, and produce an interesting appearance. The upper part of the 

 labia is of a deep blood red, the lower part, of five recurved divisions, yel- 

 low streaked with brownish red. 



CATILEYA MOSSI^. Mrs. Moss's Superb Caideya. (Bot. Mag. 3669. 



GYNANDR1A MONANDRIA. ORCHIDE36. 



8. The flowers of this species are certainly the most magnificent of any or- 

 chideous plants yet bloomed in this country. The flower is eight inches across, 

 and each petal, being four inches longandtwo broad, and the entire flower 

 more than twenty inches in circumference. The colour and marking ot the 

 flower is very striking. The petals are of n beautiful rosy lilac. The in- 

 side of the tubular part of the labellum is yellow, the other portion of it rosy 

 lilac, splendidly streaked and blotched with crimson scarlet, the lip spread- 

 ing near three inches across. The flower is also peculiarly fragrant. The 

 plant is a native of La Guayra, and was sent from thence in 1836 to the fine 

 collection of Mrs. Moss, Otterspool, near Liverpool, where it has recently 

 bloomed under the skilful management of Mr. .Limes, the gardener. It 

 ought to be in every collection of orchideae, and no reasonable price ought. 

 to be objected to, in order to obtain it.

SOLANGfle. PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA.
