282 NEW PLANTS, 



size, render it a striking object. This species is known in some collections 

 as C. pendula; and, like it, the present variety will not grow higher than a 

 loot, if grown in the open air; but if kept indoors, it will of course grow 

 taller, and, we think, make a belter appearance. We hope the kind will 

 soon be in the hands of Messrs. Pope &; Sons, nurserymen, near Bir- 

 mingham, whence it might then be obtained. Calceolaria belongs to the 

 2d class, Diandria, and 1st order, Monogynia; natural order, Scrophularina?. 

 The name is from ca/ceola, a slipper; the llower resembling a shoe or slipper. 

 Deulzia scabra, rough-leaved. (Mot. Reg.) This small new Japan shrub, 

 with its white blossoms, in racemes, and in appearance like the small flowers 

 of a common Syringa, will doubtless he an acquisition to the pleasure- 

 ground ; and as it will be quite hardy in this country, we hope it will be 

 distributed from the London Horticultural Society's Garden, so as to be 

 spread through the country before long. The plant belongs the 10th class, 

 and 3d order ; natural order, Philadelphia, Syringa tribe of llowers. 



Kennedia nigricans, dark-flowered. {Hot. lieg.) From the report of the 

 London Horticultural Society's Meetings, it appears that this new ami 

 striking species of Kennedia was exhibited at the Room in Regent-street, on 

 April 1st, by Boyd Miller, Esq., who had raised it from seed. There 

 appears to be another new species in cultivation by Messrs. Buchanan & 

 Co., of Camberwcll Nursery. In the species they possess, the flowers am 

 of a dark purple, with a patch of yellowish green; the foliage large. The 

 species exhibited by Mr. Boyd Miller had smallish foliage, and the flowers 

 Tery dark, said to be black, and a yellow patch. Such is the account we 

 had from a most respectable London nurseryman. Both species are well 

 deserving of cultivation ; and being natives of New South Wales, will flou- 

 rish as a greenhouse twining plant, either to cover a trellis or a supporting 

 pillar. All the species produce seed freely, as well as strike by cuttings. 

 Sandy pi at soil and well-drained pots are essentials in the culture. The 

 plants belong to the 17th class, Diadelphia, and • — order, Decandria; na- 

 tural order, Leguminosffi, pea tribe of flowers. The name Kennedya, after 

 Lewis Kennedy, Esq. 



Malva Munroana. (Hot. Gard.) This plant is a hardy perennial, grows 

 three feet high ; the flowers are small, of a brownish red, rather uninteresting, 

 compared with other kinds of Mallow. The plant belongs to the Kith class, 

 Monadelphia, and 8th order, Polyandria ; natural order, Malvacere. Malva, 

 from maluke, soft ; referring to its medicinal properties. 



Malesherbia Unearifolia, linear-leaved. (Hot. Mag.) This is a very pretty 

 Chilian plant, and merits general cultivation in the green-house. The plant 

 not growing more than half a yard or two feet high, and producing panicles 

 of purplish blue blossoms, each about an inch across, renders it a desirable 

 species. As it is grown in the Glasgow Botanic Garden, we doubt not but 

 it will soon be in general circulation. The plant belongs to the 5th class, 

 and 3d order; natural order, Passiflorea?. The name is from L. Males- 

 Herbes. 



(Enothera Drummondii. (Bot. Mag.) This is a very pretty Evening 

 Primrose, and its fine yellow flowers give a striking effect during autumn, 

 and are valuable for the flower-garden. (Enothera belongs to the 8th class, 

 Octandria, and 1st order, Monogynia; natural order, Onograrire. The name 

 is from oinos, wine, and ihera, catching; acquired smell. 



Rhododendron macranthum, large-flowered. (Brit. Flow. Gard.) This is 

 the Azalea indica latcritia, noticed in the Cabinet, Vol. II., p. 237. We 

 cannot avoid recommending it to all the admirers of this tribe of plants. 

 Being of a low growth, and blooming profusely, it is very desirable. The 

 plant belongs to the 10th class, and 1st order; natural order, Ericete. The 

 name is from rhodo, a rose, and dendron, a tree. 



Silene chlorefolia, Chlora- leaved Catchfly. (Brit. Flow. Gard.) A hardy 



perennial plant, with flowers pure white above, and purplish underneath. 



It will be useful to the flower-garden in summer, growing only a foot high. 



Tin- plant belongs to the Kith class, and 3d order; natural order, Caryo 



pbylleie. Silene, from sialun, salvia; in allusion to the viscid, frothy nrnr 



ture of the stalks of some species.
