[England] the shelter of a green-house in winter." It was first raised 

 from seeds at Kew. It is a very pretty species, resembling, some- 

 what, in the flowers, the A. armata. — (^Jjot. ^lag., March.) 



INDIGO'FERA. {" Literally indiiro bearer ; sonic pjuM-ies ))n.(lii(iiii>- lliu dye of 



that name.") 

 atropurpurca. Hamilt. Purple flowered indigo plant. A stove slirnl), f'roia 

 four to five feet high ; a native of Nepal : flowers purple and crimson. i>ot. 

 Reg. t. 1744. 



A beautiful shrub, as depicted in the plate. It will not succeed 

 well in England unless cultivated in the stove ; it might, however, 

 grow in our green-houses. It is stated as " a handsome, light green 

 bush, richly ornamented by its numerous bunches of purple and 

 crimson flowers." — (^Bot. Reg., March.) 



CXXII. Gtranidcc(P. 



In Geraniacese we have lately observed at Mr. Cushing's, Watertown, 

 and at the Botanic Garden, Cambridge, syvend new and P])lfii(iid varieties. 

 At the former place, the latter part of last month, we saw Pelarguninm Yeat- 

 maniannm, Dutchess of St. Albans, and Albinotatum ; tiie fiowers of 

 the first are heaiiiifnily clouded with dark purple, something similar to 

 Youngii, but much richer; at the latter |)!ace, Mr. Carter showed us P. in- 

 volucrauim puniganum anil albidum : all new and beautiful varieties. We 

 have now in flower P. Napoleon, it is a white ground, very distinctly i)en- 

 cilled with deep red ; P. Admiral Copley, glorianum, Websteria, Lord Yar- 

 boro' and De Vere, kinds we believe that are not in collections in our 

 vicinity, will be in bloom in the course of the present month. We observe 

 in Dennis & Co.'s catalogue for the year 1835, P. Dutchess of Sutherland, 

 priced at £5. 5s. 



CXXIV. Tropccoleoi. 



TroPjEGlum niajus var. atro-sangiiineum, has been in flower with us for 

 several weeks ; it niiiy be classed among many other annual plants that are 

 valuable for their early blooming, when wmtered in a green-house ; we find it 

 seeds readily in pots, although last season in the o])en ground we coulil not 

 pick a single capsule of seed. At Mount Auburn where there were several 

 jilants, we believe not a seed was saved. Tt is a sjjlendid variety, its deep 

 blood colored flowers, which are very freely produced, forming a brilliant 

 object.

 SEMPERVPVUM. 

 urbicum. City Houseleek. A green-house plant; flowers from December to 

 February. Propagated similar to the other species. Bot. Reg. t. 1741. 



" A green-house plant, found commonly on rocks and the roofs of 

 houses in Teneriffe, in inland parts of the island, where the air is 

 damper than in the valleys." The panicle of flowers as represented 

 in the figure, is nearly a foot in length, the color a bright yellow, and 

 so dense that they touch together. " It flowers in the months of 

 December, January and February ; and is one of the handsomest of 

 the shrubby species of this interesting genus." introduced to Eng-
