1. CUPHEA MINI ATA. 

 Several new and fine-flowering species of this beautiful and inte- 

 resting genus we have noticed in recent numbers of this Magazine, 

 and we now record the present as a very strikingly handsome one. 

 It has lately been introduced into this country from South America, 

 and with us has bloomed in the plant stove ; but, we are persuaded, it 

 will be found to flourish well in the greenhouse, and it deserves to be 

 in every one. 



2. LYCIUM FUCHSIOIDES. 



A native of the Azoques, in the Quintian Andes. It is a shrub 

 much employed by the natives for hedges. It has flowered beauti- 

 fully in the splendid collection in the Royal Gardens at Kew. The 

 plant is four feet high, branching freely, and blooming liberally, 

 producing through the entire season a fine display. It appears likely 

 to do well in either plant stove, conservatory, or greenhouse, and 

 none ought to be without it.
