EMBELLISHMENTS. 



ARTICLE I. 



1. GOMPHOLOBIUM HENDERSONII. 



This very beautiful Gompholobium has been introduced into this 

 country by Captain Mangles, R.N., from the Swan River colony. 

 It is not, like the well-known Gompholobium polymorphum, a 

 climbing plant, but forms a neat evergreen bush, and blooms very 

 freely. It deserves a place in every greenhouse. We saw beautiful 

 specimens in the nursery of Messrs. Hendersons, of Pineapple-place, 

 London, and was informed it blooms the greater part of summer, 

 being very ornamental even in autumn too. 



It requires to be grown in a turfy sandy peat, with a small portion 

 of loam and leaf-mould, having a very free drainage. 



2. RONDOLETIA LONGIFLORA. (Long-flowered.) 



Messrs. Veitch and Son, of Exeter, introduced this beautiful 

 flowering greenhouse plant from Brazil. It forms a very neat 

 shrubby plant, much in the way of Bouvardia triphylla, and flou- 

 rishes under a similar treatment. It is supposed to grow to a 

 tolerably-sized bush, larger than the Bouvardias usually grow. The 

 plant deserves a place in every greenhouse; its profusion of beautiful 

 flowers render it an object of much beauty.
