106 NEW AND RARE PLANTS. 



y. Miltonia candiuia var. flavescens, White-lipped. (Bot. Mag. 3793.) 

 Orchidese. Gynandria Monandn'a. A native of Brazil, imported by the 

 Earl of Arran. The flowers are very beautiful, and are produced on a scape, 

 which rises about two feet high, sepals and petals of a bright yellow, having 

 large ferruginous blotches. Lip yellow, with a purple blotch. It merits a place 

 in every collection. 



10. Begonia diversifolia, a stove plant, producing numerous large flowers 

 of a bright pink colour. 



11. Spironema fragrans, an herbaceous plant, from Mexico, introduced by 

 George Barker, Esq. Sepals green, petals nearly transparent. It belongs to 

 the Commellinacea. 



12. Cobeje stipui.aris. From Mexico. It has been raised in the London Horti- 

 cultural Society's Garden. Its habit is that of C. scandens ; leaves narrower, 

 flowers said to be yellow, three inches long; if so it is a very desirable plant. 



13. Garrya laurifolia, a hardy species from the mountains of Mexico; 

 plants have been raised in the Horticultural Society's Garden. Mr. Hartweg 

 has discovered four other species in Mexico. The present species is a handsome 

 looking plant, with oval laurel-like leaves. It grows to a shrub of five or six 

 yards high where Mr. Hartweg found it, but it is said to grow to a tree with a 

 trunk two feet in diameter. 



14. Clethra Mexicana, a native of the colder parts of Mexico. It is in the 

 collection of Messrs. Loddiges. It is a hardy evergreen shrub, and produces 

 flowers as large, white, and handsome as C. arborea. The plant deserves a place 

 in every shrubbery. 



15. Lopezia i.ineata, a pretty greenhouse shrub, raised in the Horticultural 

 Society's Garden. It is a native of Mexico. The flowers are very pretty, of a 

 pale red colour, and are profusely produced during winter and spring. 



16. Cotoneaster DENTicuLATA. From Mexico ; raised in the Horticultural So- 

 ciety's Garden. It is a hardy shrub. The flowers are small and white or pink, 

 on little terminal corymbs. The leaves are about an inch long, dark green above, 

 white below. It fruits similar to the older species we possess. 



17. Cornus grandis. From Mexico ; raised in the Horticultural Society's 

 Garden. It is hardy at present, having large and beautiful foliage. 



18. Correa bicolor. The flowers are about two-thirds the size of C. 

 speciosa. The lower part of the tubular flower is a fine crimson, and the 

 upper portion pure white, producing a very beautiful contrast. The foliage is 

 oval and rather small. This is the handsomest kind we have seen in bloom. 



19. Correa rosea major, and C. rosea. Both kinds have beautiful rose- 

 coloured flowers, the former being much larger than the latter, and more de- 

 serving attention. The above are well worthy a place in every greenhouse or 

 conservatory; the neat and beautiful blossoms produced in the winter and spring 

 give a pretty effect at those seasons, and alike render the plants very desirable. 



20. Diliawnia speciosa. This is one of the most lovely ;of South Aus- 

 tralian plants, producing a vast profusion of its pea-formed flowers in terminal 

 clusters from nearly every shoot. The standard is of a deep yellow, and wings 

 of a reddish purple. It deserves a place in every conservatory or greenhouse. 

 The plant is an evergreen shrub, with heath-like foliage, growing to about two 

 feet high. Being so very showy, it has been sought after, and may be had of 

 most of the principal nurseries, though but introduced in 1838. 



21. Ixora barbata. We saw a specimen of the present species in bloom in 

 the noble and select collection of Mrs. Lawrence at Ealing Park. The spike of 

 flowers is similar in form and size to the I. coccinea, hairy, and of a pure white. 

 It deserves a place in every collection of stove plants. 



22. Ixora rose i. This species we saw at Mrs. Lawrence's, producing fine 

 heads of rose-coloured flowers. 



23. Ixora obovata. This fine species was in bloom in the same collection, 

 having fine heads of pink-coloured flowers.
