LIST OF NEW AND RARE PLANTS, 



Noticed since our last. 



1. CLEMATIS C.ERULEA, Violet Clematis. (Bot. Reg. 1955.) 



RANTJNCULACEA. POLVANDRIA POLYOYNIA. 



Tliis plant was what we saw in bloom at the splendid collection of Mr. 

 Lowe of Clapton Nursery, and who informed us that its specific name was 

 Azwea, under which name we figured it in the Cabinet for last year. The 

 plant, when in bloom, was exhibited at the Horticultural Society meeting in 

 Regent Street, and a Medal was awarded for it. It is a native of Japan. 

 A free grower, and blooms profusely. It is a hardy climbing plant of great 

 beauty and a valuable acquisition. 



Mr. Lowe, has recently received another very distinct species from Bel- 

 gium, called bicolar. Clematis from klema a tendril, on the leaves. 



2. CRATAEGUS COCCINEA, Scarlet fruited Hawthorn. [Bot. Reg. 1957 



SYNONYM- C. MACRANTHA. 



The fruit of this species is above the middle size, and of a very fine blood 

 colour. The plant is found growing common about New York, in America. 



3. CYTISUS .EOLICUS, Alolian Cytisus. [Brit. Flew. Gard. 



LEGUMINAS/E. DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 



The plant is a native of the iEolian Isles, found by Professor Gnssone, in 

 Stromboli. Seeds of it were sent to this country from the Royal Botanic 

 Garden at Naples. It is sufficiently hardy to bear the climate of this country 

 if trained to a wall. The flowers are of a golden yellow colour, very 

 showy. Cytisus, derived from Cythuas one of the Cyclades, where the Cytisus 

 of the ancients (Medicago arborea) was originally found. 



4. ECHEVERIA RACEMOSA, Racemed Echeveria. [Bot. Mag. 

 The plant is probably a native of Mexico. It flourishes freely in the green- 

 house, blooming profusely in the Summer and Aatumn Months. The flowers 

 are produced on a raceme which is nearly one foot long ; they are of a deep 

 rosy red colour, a little more than half an inch long. There are five other 

 species, natives of Mexico or California, described by Candolle, and Haworth. 

 Echeveria from Echeuera, a Mexican botanical painter. 



5. EPIGEA REPENS VAR RUBICUNDA. [Brit. Flow. Card. 



ERECACE.K. DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 



This very pretty variety was raised by Mr. John Milne of the Albion Road 

 Nursery, Stoke Newington. It is a very pretty, dwarf, creeping shrub, pro- 

 ducing abundance of rich pink coloured flowers, with white tubes. They 

 are produced in small racemes, each having about five flowers upon it. It 

 deserves a place in every flower garden. Epigca from epi upon, and gaia 

 earth, alluding to the stems on the ground. 



6. EUTOCA VISCOSA, Charming viscosa, [Bot. Mag 



HYDROPHYLLACE*. PENTANDRIA MONOGYNlA, 



This lovely plant we have formerly noticed, but avail ourselves of ano- 

 ther opportunity of recording our testimony of its merit. We have seen 

 beds of it in neautiful bloom at the end of last summer. Its beauti- 

 ful and brilliant blue blossoms, reminded us very forcibly of the spring
