 Convolv ulaccee. Seeds of this very beautiful tender evergreen were received 

 by Charles Horsfai.i., Esq., either from the East Indies or Africa, and 

 raised by Mr. Evans, the gardener, at Everton. He has it under the name 

 of/, ptntaphylla of Cavanhj.es (/. Cavanillcsii, Roem. et Schultes) which 

 is still more at variance with our species. /. Hortfall'ue, in its inflorescence 

 and blossoms, bean the closest affinity with I. paniculata, Br. {Convolvulus, 

 I..); but their foliage is so different, that the two plants never can be con - 

 founded — the former having compound and quinate leaves, while those of 

 the latter are simply lobed. The flowers appear to fall off without bearing 

 seed, probably owing to the season of the year (December and January) at 

 which th.y an' produced.

I. Elehtekoltzkt crocca, Saffron-coloured Eschscholtzia. Polyandria, Te 

 tragynia. Papaveracea?. In general habit, foliage, and size of the flower, 

 this new species of Eschscholtzia closely resembles E. Californica, intro- 

 duced by Mr. Dodolas on his expedition, and now so generally admitted 

 to lie one of the most beautiful additions to our hardy ornamental plants. 

 The present species, however, promises fair to surpass even that ill the rich 

 orange colour of the petals. It appears to be equally hardy, and, judging 

 from the experience of a season, to flower still more freely. It is chiefly 

 distinguished botanically from B. Californica by the widely' expanded limb 

 of the curious appendage of the peduncle beneath the insertion of the calyx, 

 which is characteristic of the genus, and by the long attenuated point of the 

 calyx i Hurt. Trans.) Like E, Californica, this is a perennial; but in con- 

 sequence of its bleeding copiously when wounded, it is not likely to bear 

 propagation in any other way than by seed. It has not hitherto produced 

 aavj seed. The two plants in the Garden of the Horticultural Society are 

 all that at present exist in Europe.

 Impregnation with two of the numerous varieties, originated between C. 

 arackaoidea and corymbosa. A light rich earth suits these plants best; and 

 tie- particular varieties can only be increased by slips from the original 

 stock.
