ARTICLE I. 



]. MANDEVILLIA SUAVEOLENS. 



It is a native of South America, and is one of the prettiest conserva- 

 tory or warm greenhouse climhing plants. It grows and blooms very 

 freely, producing numerous snowy-white sweet-scented flowers, very 

 interesting and ornamental. The plant well merits a place as a neat 

 and valuable climber wherever it can be grown. It may now be pro- 

 cured at a reasonable price. 



2. GAYLUSSACCIA PSEUDOVACCINEUM.— (Synonym Andromc.la 



coccinea.) 



This very pretty flowering evergreen shrub is a native of the sandy- 

 plains of Brazil. It flourishes freely in the greenhouse in this coun- 

 try, treated in all respects as are the Cape Ericas. We have seen it 

 thriving well in the collection of Messrs. Loddiges, of Hackney Nur- 

 sery. It well merits a place in every greenhouse. Those of our 

 readers who know the habit and beauty of most of the Andromedas 

 will at once conceive the present plant is well worth cultivating.
