The Botanical Register. 



This work was commenced iu 1815 ; it has now reached to plate 1662. It 

 is very skilfully executed, and conducted hy the very able, intelligent, and 

 learned Professor of Botany in the London Uni%'ersity, John Lindley, Esq. 

 Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon this work: the judicious selection 

 of figures, their accuracy and faithful representation, are such as we may justly 

 calculate upon, when under the superintendence of so renowned a botanist as 

 Mr. LiNDLEY. The number for January, 1833, contains the following 

 plants : — 



1. Senecio T'ttisi/fa^iHts, coltsfoot leaved Groundsel; Syngenesia Polygamia 

 ^.qualis; natural order Compositae. This is a handsome greenhouse plant, 

 flowering abundantly. The petals are purple on the upper side, and white 

 underneath; the disk is yellow; leaves alternate, sharply tuothed at their 

 edge?, underside tonientose. Senecio is from Senex, old man, the naked re- 

 ceptacle like a bald head. 



2 Soldndra guttata, spotted-flowered. Pentandria Monogynia; nat. ord. 

 Solauaceae. This most splendid stove plant was introduced from Mexico by 

 Mr. Tate, of Sloane street Nursery, and flowered the early part of last year, 

 in the stove of Mr. Lambert, Boyton House, Wiltshire. The flower is funnel 

 shaped, solitary, and terminal, of a pale yellow, inside the mouth of the co- 

 rolla is marked with purple. It is fragrant. Leaves alternate, elliptical, ob- 

 long: it is readily increased by cuttings. Solandra, named in honour of Dr. 

 Solander, who accompanied Sir Joseph Banks iu his Voyage round the 

 ■World.

 parts of India. Flower, the labellum is white, and the other part (sepals) is 

 yellow streaked with reddish purple. Blooms Aug. and Sep, Leaves dark 

 preen, strap-shaped. It is cultivated by being suspended against a damp wall 

 in the stove, in pots filled with potsherds, mixed with a little earth. — Saccola-
