beauty by any of its congeners, has been regarded as a species by De Can- 

 dolle, Sprengel, and others, but we can perceive no difference, except 

 colour, whereby to distinguish it from tricuspid, to which in our opinion it 

 has been very properly united by Jacquin, Thunberg, and Ker. It is a 

 mistake to suppose, that to cultivate the Cape Iridese, a greenhouse is ne- 

 cessary; all that they require is protection from frost, and this can best be. 

 done by a frame, which may be removed entirely in fine weather. A 

 warm sunny border should be selected for their culture, and the earth 

 removed to the depth of a foot or 18 inches, and replaced by a mixture of 

 vegetable mould and river sand. The bulbs should be taken up in the 

 autumn, and replanted about the middle of January, the larger ones being 

 carefully selected from the rest. The earth will require to be renewed every 

 two or three years. 



2. Lophospermum lihodoehiton, Purple Lophospermum. Didynamia, 

 Angiospermia. Scrophularine. Seeds of this beautiful new climber, was 

 lately received into this country from the Royal Botanic Garden, at Berlin. 

 A plant flowered in June last, in Mrs. Marryat's collection, at Wimbledon. 

 The corolla is funnel-shaped, of an intense purple, an inch-and-a-half long, 

 clothed witli white glandular hairs. The plant requires the same treatment 

 as L. erubesccns. 



3. Diapensia lapponka, Lapland Diapensia. Pentandria, Mouogynia. 

 Polemoniacea 1 . This plant was raised at the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, 

 from seeds gathered on the Kooky Mountains, North America, by Mr. 

 Drummond, in the last expedition of Captain Franklin, and flowered in 

 April, having been kept in the open borden, and occasionally covered with 

 a hand-glass. 



4. Campanula yarganica, Garganian Bell-flower. Pentandria, Monogy- 

 nia. Campanulaceas. This pretty little Campanula was discovered by Pro- 

 fessor Tenore, on Mount St. Angolo, anciently Garganus, in the Kingdom 

 of Naples, and named by him after that locality to which it appears to be 

 peculiar. It was raised in the Bishop of Rochester's garden, at Bromley, 

 from seeds sent to Miss Murray, from Naples, by the Honourable William 

 T. H. Fox Strangways, and thence plants have been liberally distributed 

 to various collections. The plant is admirably adapted for a rock- work, and 

 appears to thrive best in a mixture of peat and loam. It is readily increased 

 by division.

1. Escutcheon Budding, without a Bud or Eye ; Greffe en Ecnsson sans 



Yevx. (fty. \.). — The object of this mode of budding is simply to cover a 



1 wound or blemish in one tree by the live bark of another. 



Take from a tree of the same sort, or at least of the same 



I genus, as the wounded tree, a piece of bark rather larger than 



I the wound, and form it into a regular shape ; then cut the 



I J" bark round the wound into the exact form and dimensions of 



the piece to be inserted, so that the latter may be let into the 



former with the greatest exactness. The inner bark of the 



graft and that of the stock being fitted so as to joint perfectly 



all round, and the shield closely adhering to the tree in every 



part, it is kept on by a ligature; and the edges of the wound 



are covered with grafting-wax or clay. It is a remarkable 



fact, which some are, perhaps, not aware of, that, the wood 



formed under a piece of bark inserted in this manner, even though that bark 



be without a bud or eye, will be the wood of the tree from which the shield
