1. BOUVARDIA FLAV A.— (Yellow Flowered.) 

 This very pretty and new species we lately received from Mr. 

 Van Houtte, nurseryman of Ghent, who, in addition to the plant and 

 a coloured figure of the flower, forwarded us the following communi- 

 cation of the plant, culture, &c. It will prove a very striking com- 

 panion to the fine scarlet Bouvardias triphylla, Jacquinii, and versi- 

 color, whether grown in pots in the greenhouse, or in the open beds 

 in summer j and its beauty, freeness of blooming, &c, render it de- 

 serving a place in every greenhouse and flower garden. Mr. Van 

 Houtte observes as follows : — 



' This is a very interesting and entirely new acquisition to our 

 cultures ; stubbed in short, and kept shrubby, it will long continue to 

 form, by its numerous and light hanging flowers, pendant on their 

 triangular peduncles, a spring ornament for the green-house, into 

 which it must be placed during the winter. The beautiful yellow 

 colour of the flowers forms a most happy and agreeable contrast to 

 the dark purple and varied shades of the foliage. In order to obtain 

 the latter effect, the plant must, during the fine season, be exposed, if 

 not to the direct rays of the sun, at least in mid shade, bo as to enjoy 

 a vast and airy space.
