11. SISYRINCHIUM GRANDIFLORUM, LargeAowered. [Brit.Ftow.Gard. 388. 



1RIDE.E. MONADELPHIA TR1ANDRIA. 



The late Mr. Douglas sent this plant from the North West of America, near 

 Columbia. It very far surpasses any other of the genus, in the size, as well 

 as colour of its blossoms, which are of a rich purple colour, and produced 

 in vast profusion. The flower stems grow to about nine inches high. It is 

 cultivated in the rich collection of Mrs. Marry att, at Wimbledon. The name 

 of the plant originated from pigs being fond of the roots. From rus, a pig ; 

 and rugckos, a snout. 



!2. AZALEA SEYMOURI. Seymour'$ Azalea. [Bot. Beg. 1975. 



This variety was raised some years since at the Hon. and Rev. W. Her- 

 berts, Spofforth, near Wetherby, Yorkshire. It had been raised from the 

 seed of Rhodora Canadensis, the flowers of which had been impregnated 

 with those of Azalea Pontica. The habit of the Rhodora is, that, the blos- 

 soms expand long before any foliage is produced, but the hybrid here noticed 

 first pushed forth its foliage long before the flowers appeared. They are of 

 a pale yellow colour, in form like the azalea Pontica but much less in size.

 California. It is found to flourish freely in the open border, in the warmer 

 parts of this country. The flowers are produced in a scape upon a stalk six 

 inches high. The blossoms are of a pretty yellow colour, which appear from 

 June to August. Caltiprona from Cattiprora, pretty face ; alluding to the 

 beauty of the flowers. 



$5. COREAPSIS LONGIPES, Long Stalked. [Bot. Mag. 3586. 



i COMPOSITE. SYNGENESIA FRUSTRANEA.

 It appears to be intermediate between C. verticillata, and C. tinctoria. It 

 appears to be annual or biennial. The flowers are a fine yellow colour, not 

 <.lark in the centre : each blossom is full two inches across.
