50 NEW OR RAltE PLANTS. 



Orchideae. Gynandria Monandria. (Synonym O. roseum.) This very beautiful 

 species was originally discovered in the temperate parts of Mexico, at an eleva- 

 tion of 6000 feet above the sea. It has more recently been discovered by Mr. 

 Skinner in Guatemala, and sent to the splendid collection of II. Bateman, Esq., 

 with whom it has bloomed. The flowers are produced numerously on a 

 branching panicle. Each flower is about three quarters of an inch across, of 

 a pretty rosy-pink colour. When the panicles are allowed to grow naturally, 

 they are pendulous, and have a very ornamental appearance. The fragrance of 

 the flowers very much resembles that of new hay. 



10. Pu\A cJEitui.E.i, Blue Puya. (Bot. Reg. Fig. 11, 1840.) Bromeliaceae. 

 Hexandria Trigynia. (Synonym Pourretia caerulea.) The plant is perennial, 

 half-hardy, and in appearance is very like a narrow-leaved Pine-apple plant. 

 The flower-stem rises to three or four feet high, terminating in a scape of im- 

 bricated flowers. They are at first of a pretty blue, and afterwards become 

 spirally rolled up, and change to a deep rosy-red. It is found to thrive even in 

 the poorest soil and driest places, and would be found ornamental for a rough 

 bank. 



IN NURSERIES. 



Corhea Lindlei'ana, an hybrid raised by Mr. Milner, and deservedly named 

 in compliment to Dr. Lindley. We saw the plant at Mr. Groom's. The flowers 

 are of a pretty rose colour. 



Corhea Cavendishii, another hybrid raised by Mr. Milner, with rose-coloured 

 flowers, at Mr. Groom's. 



Ipojiea spi.endens. The foliage of this new species is nine inches long, and 

 proportionally broad, giving it a noble appearance. The flowers are of a rosy- 

 pink, having a deeper coloured centre. The plant is cultivated in the stove of 

 Messrs. Rollisson's, Tooting. 



Ixora incarnata, a beautiful flesh-coloured flower of this pretty genus, at 

 the Tooting Nursery, grown in the stove. 



Stroboi.anthus SCABRH.I.A, a stove-plant, which is very like a Justicia 

 coccinea. In the stove at Tooting Nursery. 



Traciiyhene i.ii.acina. The old inhabitant of our flower-gardens, T. caerulea, 

 isjwell-known for its deep blue and profusion of flowers ; this new species is like 

 it, excepting the flowers are of a pale lilac colour. It is a native of the Swan 

 River colony, and was bloomed in the Clapton Nursery. 



Boronia anemonifolia. The foliage of this new species is very pretty ; the 

 specific name conveys its form. It has not bloomed, that we could hear of; 

 but the tribe being pretty greenhouse-plants, it will doubtless be worth 

 possessing. 



Chorozema i.ancifoi.ia. This new species has foliage of a lance-form, near 

 three inches long, and gives the plant a very pretty appearance. All the kinds 

 of Chorozemas that have bloomed in this country are interesting and pretty, 

 and though this new species has not bloomed at the Clapton Nursery, no doubt 

 it will be an acceptable plant. At present the price of a plant is five guineas. 



Acacia nov.>e Spec. We observed, at Mr. Low's, a new species of Acacia, 

 having a flat stem, and the entire plant covered with hairs. It will be a pretty 

 addition to the greenhouse. 



Pimei.ia intermedia, a new species, having corymbous heads of white 

 flowers. 



Jacksonia (Novae Spec.) This new greenhouse plant is very like an Ulex 

 (common Furze) in its appearance. It has pea-formed flowers, on long pen- 

 dulous racemes, of a fine yellow colour. Mr. Low will soon have plants for sale. 



Eui'ATORiL'M oDORATissiMrir. Mr. Low has raised this pretty species from 

 seed received from Mexicot The plant appears to be a greenhouse shrub, pro- 

 ducing panicles of pretty rosy-pink flowers,
