146 VASALIA FLORIBUNDA. 



was given in compliment to M. Pohl, the celebrated German bo- 

 tanist. 



2. TROP^OLUM BRICKWOODII. (Brickwood's Indian-cress.) 



Seeds of this plant were brought from Chili by Mr. Brickwood, 

 and presented by him to H. Berens, Esq., Sidcup, Kent, in whose 

 garden it has bloomed this spring. 



It is a pretty and delicately coloured species, bearing a slight re- 

 semblance to T. brachyceras : unlike that variety, however, it is quite 

 a free bloomer, and therefore a very desirable improvement. 



The same treatment as applied to T. tricolor will succeed in its 

 cultivation. 



1. SIPHOCAMPYLUS COCCINEA. (Scarlet-flowered.) 



The brilliant colour of the flowers, their large size, and distinct 

 bushy growth of this new species of Siphocampylus, is remarkable. 

 It was received from South America by Messrs. James Veitch and 

 Son, of the Killerton Nursery, Exeter,— gentlemen who have recently 

 become famous for the many beautiful productions they have intro- 

 duced, and which we have from time to time had occasion to notice 

 in our remarks upon new or rare plants. 



A specimen of our present subject was shown in May and June 

 last at the Chiswick and Regent's Park exhibitions. 



2. VASALIA FLORIBUNDA. (Abundant-flowering.) 



This beautiful plant has bloomed in the nurseries of Messrs. 

 Lucombe, Pince, and Co., and Messrs. Veitch and Son, at Exeter ; 

 and a plant from each of these gentlemen was exhibited last month 

 at the Royal Botanic Society's Show, that from the former being 

 awarded a prize. 



It is a charming greenhouse shrub, being graceful in habit, and 

 freely producing its lovely-coloured pendant blossoms. 



In a soil of turfy sandy peat, having a small portion of leaf mould 

 mixed, and a free drainage, the plant appears to luxuriate. As soon 

 as plants are ready for sale, we have no doubt it will be noticed in 

 our advertising sheet.
