Specimens of newly-introduced and other fine plants. — Luxembourgia 

 ciliosa, by Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, and Co. The plant has somewhat the appear- 

 ance of a fine species of Arbutus in its foliage, the edges of the leaves being 

 prettily fringed. The flowers are produced in heads ; we counted 60 blossoms 

 on one, each being half an inch across, of a fine bright yellow colour, something

 noble, the flowers are similar in appearance to Sarborea. It is a fine species 

 the plant being 4 feet high.

 in fine bloom, 2 feet high. The flowers are near the size of those of A. longi- 

 flora, of a deep lilac with a lighter centre, fringed at the edges of the petals like 

 the fringed Chinese Primrose ; it is a valuable addition to this lovely tribe.

 inch across, same in colour as the first-named species ; a desirable plant for

 high, and 4 across, by [the above-named gentlemen. The foliage is small, rose- 

 mary like ; the flowers are small, star-shaped, white, and produced in such pro- 

 fusion as to form an entire mass. A most desirable plant.
