194 Notices of new and beautiful Plants. 



should judge from the plate that it would be a splendid addition to 

 our gardens. There is no hardy plant which should not be pro- 

 cured if possible ; the present species is peculiarly fitted to our 

 climate, as it is a "native of Transylvania, in the county of Klaus- 

 burs, near Sebes." It grows in stony places upon the tenitory of 

 the Countess Rosalie Josika, born Czaky, after whom it has been 

 named. It was first made known to Botanists by Baron von Jac- 

 quin, at a meeting of Naturalists at Hamburgh in 1830. The S. 

 vulgaris, thought to have been only indigenous to Persia, has been 

 found growing on " all the rocks along the Danube, at the military 

 boundaries of Moldavia, Szaszka, Csiklova, Krassova." — (Bot. Reg,,

 ANAGALLIS W. 

 Monelli. W. var. Willmoreana. Willmore's Italian Pimpernell ; a perennial 

 like its parent A. Monelli ; flowers all summer ; increased by layers in peat 

 and loam ; raised from seeds introduced from Madeira ; figured in the Bot. 

 Mag. t. 3380. 



A very beautiful variety of the pimpernell ; raised from seed by 

 Mr. Willmore, and was supposed to be a new species. Dr. Hooker, 

 however, thinks it only a variety of the A. MoneUi, and, has so 

 named it. — (Bot. Mag., Jan ) 



CCXI. SrrophularinecB. 

 COLLINSIA. 

 bicolor. Bcntham. Two colored Collinsia ; an annual plant ; grows about a foot 

 h gh ; flowers in August and September ; it grows in common garden soil ; in- 

 troduced from California in 1833 ; Bot. Register, t. 1734. 



A " new and handsome hardy annual ;" the flowers are purple 

 and white ; sent to the London Horticultural Society by Mr. David 

 Douglas, where a few plants have been raised ; it is, however, still 

 very rare ; it seeds plentifully, and will probably become as common 

 as the C. grandiflora. — (Bot. Reg., Jan.) 



C. grandiflora is not so well known as it should be ; it is highly 

 ornamental, and but little, if at all inferior to the C. bicolor. 



Sub-class II. 

 Endogenous or Monocotyledonous Plants, (with one seed leaf or cotyledon.) 

 CCXL. Orchidea. 

 HABENARIA. 

 gigantea. Smith. Gigantic Habernaria ; a terrestrial orchideons store plant; 

 grows four feet high ; with white flowers ; introduced from Bombay ; Bot. 

 Magazine, t. 3374. 



The orchideous plants are not much cultivated in our gardens, but 

 we have mentioned this en account of its great beauty. We hope 

 they will, however, ere long attract niore attention, and the beautiful 

 species which abound in this family, become familiar to our gar- 

 deners.
