Corr.bas. Gaines' Seedlings. (Pax. Mag. Bot.) Rutaceae, Octandria 

 Monogynia. Mr. Gaines, Florist, of Battersea has been very successful in rais-

 an inch and a half long. 



Rubescens. The entire of the flower is a deep rosy-crimson, rather longer 

 than Picta.

 mouth of the flower spreads much. The colour is a pretty pink. 



Ferruginea. The flower is about an inch long, of a sulphur-yellow ; the ends 

 being of an orange colour. 



Pallida. The flower is of a pale sulphur, about an inch and a quarter 

 long. 



Picta was raised between virens and speaosa. 



Rubescens was raised between speciosa and Lindleyana. 



Delicata was raised between alba and one of the deep coloured. 



Ferruginea was raised between alba and Grevillia.

 eyed. (Bot. Mag. 4160.) Orchidaceae. Gynandria Monogynia. A native of

 ate of a rich golden-yellow, with a dark blood-coloured eye-like spot on the

 Pentandria Monogynia. A native of New Holland or New Zealand. It is a 

 perennial, herbaceous, greenhouse plant. The flowers are yellow, with a few 

 streaks of red. They are powerfully fragrant, very similar to the orange blos- 

 som. Each flower is about an inch across. 



Jasminum affine. Kindred Jasmine. (Bot. Reg. 26.) Jasminacea. Di- 

 andria Monogynia. Dr. Lindley considers this the wild officinal Jasmine. It 

 differs in very little, and would, under ordinary circumstances, be deemed a mere 

 variety with pink-tubed flowers. It is quite hardy. Fach blossom is about 

 an inch across. It is grown in the garden of the London Horticultural Society at 

 Chiswick. 



Lupinus ramossimus. Branching LunNE. ( Pot. Reg. 25.) A native of 

 (himboraza. Seeds of it were sent by Mr. Haitweg to the London Horticultural

 the delightful fragrance of the sweet pea. It is a shrubby species.
