NEW AND RARE PLANTS. 277 



Show, on June 13th. The kind, it is stated, was "Joan of Arc;" it 

 was not, hut " Florence." At the time it was exhibited it was twenty 

 months old. It was cut down the latter end of August, 1839, being 

 then in a forty- eight sized pot, potted at the middle of September, 

 and re-potted in [November. The other kinds I exhibited [all of 

 them of magnificent growth, Conductor] varied in age, being from 

 one to two years. 



My usual mode of culture is to put off the cuttings in June, and 

 as soon as they have struck root to pot them singly, each into a sixty 

 sized pot. Having done this, I have them put in a shady situation, 

 where they remain for three weeks, at which time I stop them and 

 have them removed to a warmer and full exposed situation, as by that 

 time they will bear it without injury, and it conduces to a better and 

 quicker restablishment. 



In September I re-pot them into forty-eight sized pots, and in 

 March into twenty-fours or sixteens, according to the size of the 

 plants. 



In t these pots I let them remain for blooming. The plants have 

 usually done blooming by August; I then cut them down, and re-pot 

 as described in the previous routine of treatment. 



Where a superabundance of lateral shoots are produced, they are 

 thinned, so as to leave only a requisite proportion.

Barringtonia racemosa. — Raceme flowered. (Bot. Mag. 3831.) Barring- 

 tonisc. Icosandria Monogynia. (Syn. Eugenia racemosa.) A native of the 

 East Indies. A plant has bloomed in the stove in (he collection nf C. Horsfal), 

 Esq., Liverpool. The plant was one foot high when received by Mr. Horsfall, 

 three years back, but is now eight. It grows erect, simple, and at the extre- 

 mity threw out a flowering raceme near two feet and a half long. The petals 

 are yellowish, but the filaments, being red and long, are showy. The leaves 

 have a very noble appearance, being about fifteen inches long and five broad. 

 The plant, since producing a flowering raceme, has pushed lateral branches ; 

 and should it have a similar raceme at the extremity of each, it will make a very 

 splendid appearance. Barringtoma, in compliment to Hon. Danes Harrington. 



Cai. ectasia cyanka Bright Blue-flowered. (Bot. Mag. 3834.) Junceac. 



Ilexanciria Monogynia. A native of Australia, and a most beautiful flowering 

 plant, well deserving a place in every greenhouse. It is somewhat of a shrubby 

 character, glowing about a foot high. The flowers are produced at the ends of
