EMBELLISHMENTS. 



ARTICLE I. 



No. 1.— ACHIMENES GRANDIFLORA.— Large Flowered. 



GeSNERIACE.£. DlDVNAMlA ANGIOSPEUMIA. 



This valuable acquisition to the formerly termed tribe Cyrilla, or 

 Triverania, was discovered in Mexico growing in shady situations, 

 and having been sent into this country last year, is now in most of the 

 extensive nursery collections; we early obtained a stock of it. It is 

 of a more vigorous habit than A. longiflora, more like A. pedunculata, 

 but blooms similarly to the former. Like the other kinds it deserves 

 a place wherever it can be grown. It is of easy culture, requiring 

 the same treatment as the others, of rapid growth, and when grown 

 in contrast with the other handsome species gives a fine effect to the 

 group. 



No. 2.— ECHITES ATROPURPUREA.— Dark Purple Flowered. 



APOCYNACE.E. PENTANDRIA MoN'OCrYNIA. 



The collector of Messrs. Veitch, of Exeter, discovered this ever- 

 green twining plant in Brazil, and it was by them exhibited at the 

 London Horticultural Society's Exhibition at Chiswick. It bloomed 

 first with them ia July of last year. It is a slenderish growing plant, 

 blooming very freely, and is an interesting object when trained to a wire 

 frame, &c. The (lowers emit a pleasant fragrance, and the peculiar 

 colour of them strikingly contrasts with the beautiful yellow species, 

 E. suberecta ; both well merit cultivation.
