far to the Northward as 35° S. Lat. in humid forests at the Bay of Islands, 

 in New /calami, exists also in abundance in the " very (permanently} damp 

 woods which clothe the shores of Dusky Bay, (Lat. 45° 45> S.) oh (Be 

 western side of the Larger or Middle Island of New Zealand," where it was 

 originally observed by Forster, in Cook's Second Voyage, and where it has 

 been since met with by Mr. Cunningham, whose words we have quoted. 

 Considering the lower rate of temperature which prevails in the Southern 

 hemisphere, as compared with that of the Northern in corresponding lati- 

 tudes, the >tati..n of Eanna in New Zealand is not naturally different from 

 the damper parts of the southwest coast of Ireland. These remarks will we 

 trust suffice to cause a greater degree of attention to he paid to the differences 

 of constitution of particular species of ( Irchideous Epiphytes; for although 

 we have only dted extreme cases, we may be assured that minor peculiarities, 

 which is not less important to study, exist in abundance. 



•.\ Azalea Indica, lateritia, Brick-red Chinese Azalea. Pentandria, MonO- 

 gynia. Ericete. A new and beautiful Chinese variety, introduced by Mr. 

 M'Killigan, along with the lovely variegated kind, and with it was pur- 

 chased by Mr. Knight, nurseryman. The plant is remarkably bushy ; its 



foliage is a rich deep green, to' which a slight rusty tinge is given by the 

 numerous brown hairs of the mid-rib and margin; the leaves are narrow, 

 ven blunt, and remarkably covered' with hairs, which give their surface a 

 rough appearance j the flowers are of a bright clear brick colour, a little 

 tinged with rose. The habit of the plant is entirely that of the variegated 

 kind, and perhaps it is a mere sport from that variety: it is, however, very 

 different in the colour of its flowers. It will no doubt require the same 

 treatment as the other Chinese Azaleas, and will probably form as striking 

 a variety as any of them, on account of the peculiarly bright colour of the 

 flowers. 



3. Orchis fullosa, Leafy-spiked Orchis. Gvnandria, Monandna. Orcln- 



de.e. A line species of Orchis, native of woods and copses in Madeira ; very 



much like ti„- European O. latifolia, from which it differs in being larger in 



;ill its part-, having a distinctly three-lobcd flat lip, instead of a lozenge- 



iped convex one, a shorter and more slender spur, and a taller stem. It 



heei, for some time cultivated by Messrs. YoONG & 1'enny, of Milford, 



near Godalming, whose collection is so rich in Canary plants. It succeeds, 



«e are informed, extremely well either in well drained pots, or a turf pit, in 



a soil composed of the tuny portions of heath mould, with a mixture of moss 



and sand. Like many others, tins species varies with spotted and spotless 



Leaves. In this country it flowers in May.

Of Sunning Hill, in 1833, and whence ithas since been liberally distributed. 

 In token of its beauty, it received the distinction of a medal at one of the

and by the beginning of August its seed is ripe and its life departed. It
