honour of S.J. Bjrcgmans, Prol't- ir of Natural History, fit the Lejden 

 University. 



Calandrinia speciusa, Sh )wy dowered. (Bot. Ma;/.) Messrs. Young, of 

 Epsom Nursery, possess this plant under the above name, but another 

 species had previously been so named, and most properly so, being very 

 showv. The present species, has flowers very similar in colour to Calan- 

 drinia grandiflora, but somewha*. smaller. The plant has a more shrubby 

 stem thau either C. grandiflora, or C. discolor. The foliage is also different, 

 baing shorter and more thickly set. Like the last two named species, the 

 present kind deserves a place in every flower garden. The flowers are tose 

 coloured. Polyandria Monogynia. Portulacea?. Calandrinia, from J. C. 

 Calindrine, a Botanist. 



Coliinsia bicolor, Two-coloured flowered. (Bot. Reg.) A very handsome 

 flowering hardy annual, similar in the manner of producing its blossoms to 

 C grandiflora, but the plant grows more erect and rises to half a yard high, 

 rendering its copiously produced blossom} very conspicuous. The flowers 

 are considerably larger than C. grandiflora, the tubular part and upper 

 labium white, the lower part of a rosy purple. It appears seeds have been 

 sent to the Horticultural Society, where it has blossomed, We also received 

 seeds of it last spring, and raised a few plants. Like C. grandiflora, we find 

 that seeds sown in autumn produce plants that bloom from April to July, 

 and spring sown seed plants, to bloom from July to October. Didynamia 

 Angiospermia. Scrophularinte. Coliinsia, from Z. Collins, Vice President 

 Xat. Soc. Philadelphia. 



Euphoria Longan, The Longan Tree. (Bot. Reg.) His Grace the Duke 

 of Northumberland possesses this stove plant in his noble collection of 

 plants in Sion Gardens, where it bloomed near two years since. The flowers 

 are of a greenish yellow, produced in a large branching spike. The fruit of 

 this plant is considered one of the finest that the Chinese cultivate, the fruit 

 is very rich and sweet. The coat or shell is thin and leather like, of a light 

 brown colour. Polygamia Monceeia. Sapindacete. Euphoria, well-bearing; 

 the fruit being produced abundantly. 



Geranium angulatum, Angular stalked. (Bot. Garden.) Cranes Bill. An 

 ornamental flowering hardy perennial border plant, growing from half a 

 yard to two feet high, flowering in June and July. The bhissoms are of a 

 pretty flesh colour. Monadelphia Decandria. Geraniacea?. Geranium, from 

 geranos, a crane ; the resemblance of the seed vessel to the bill of that bird. 



Gardoquia Hooheri, Carolina Gardoquia, Syn. Melissa coccinea. (Brit. 

 Flow. Gard.) This very handsome flowering South Carolinian Shrub merits 

 a place in every collection, blooming from June to the end of the season. 

 The shrub not growing more than two feet high, is an additional recommend- 

 ation, as it will do for a flower garden or pleasure ground, bed or border. 

 The plant flowers freely, the blossoms being tubular shaped, near two inches 

 long, of a fine scarlet colour. The plant will be a rival to the S. Cardinalis. 

 We find Mr. Charlwood, seedsman, Covcnt-Garden, has seeds to sell, it 

 being in his catalogue. Didynamia Gymnospermia, Luhiatie. Gardoquia, 

 lrom I). O. (iARDOQUi, Spanish Botanist. 



Linum monoggnum, One-styled Flax. (Bot. Gard.) A very handsome 

 flowering perennial species of Flax. The flowers are pure white, very 

 showy, an inch and a half across. They are produced in a corymbous 

 panicle of from ten to fifteen in each. The plant grows a foot high. It is 

 anutiviol" New /.'.aland, and will grow freely in the open border during 

 KunmiiT, but will require a slight winter protection. The flowers are pro- 

 duced from June to Si ipft imber. The plant merits a place in every flower 

 garden. It is readily increased by seeds or cuttings. The. plant may be 

 obtained of Mr. Knight, of Chelsea, or of most of the public nurserymen. 

 1'' nlandria, lViitagynia. Lineal. (Occasionally the flowers produce five 

 Styles.) Linum, from linon thread. 



Mt$embryanthemum rubrociactum, Ued-edged leaved Tig Marigold. (Bot. 

 Jitg.) This species i^ a native of the Cape, but we find it bloom profusely 

 In the open border, under a south uspected wall, during the summer. When 

 it has a dry subsoil it will even endure the open air of our winters, but the
