BE'RBERIS. 



dealbuta. Lindl. Whitened Barberry. Probably a green-house evergreen 

 slirub, in our climate ; flowers yellow ; increased by layers ; a native of Mex- 

 ico. Bot. Reg. t. 1750. 



A beautiful species of the evergreen berberies, which, together 

 with several others, we wish to see introduced to our gardens. Dr. 

 Lindley calls it a " remarkable species." The plate represents a 

 terminal branch, from the axil of the leaves of which, issue dense 

 clusters of bright yellov/ flowers. Obtained from Mexico by the 

 London Horticultural Society. 



B^rberis Aquifulium Pursh., Mahonia Aquifolium Mich., a magnifi- 

 cent species, should be in every garden. It was sold a i'ew years since at 

 the euonnoLis price of twenty-five dollars a plant. Mr. Wm. R. Prince in- 

 formed us not long since that he sent to France and England a large nimiher, 

 at the price of from two to five guineas a jilant. 3Iessrs. Prince liave now 

 a fine stock, which are sold the present season, at two dollars and a half. 

 We believe they are .ilso to be found in the nurseries in our vicinity. It is 

 perfectly hardy. Mr. Loudon states, in noticing this species, that "it is a 

 plant worth its weight in gold." Messrs. Low & Co. of the Clapton Nur- 

 sery, near London, have introduced one or two species (B. repens and B. 

 nervosa) which have been figured in Sweet's British Flower Garden. 



XXXII. Tcrnstromedcecc. 



Camellia japonica, var. francofurtensis. This is the name of a new vari- 

 ety, mentioned in the May number of Loudon's Magazine, as having been 

 raised in Frankfort on the Main (Russia) by i. Rintz, Jr., Nurseryman : it is 

 stated to be as large as C. reticulata, the fi)nii and colors u})rivalle(l (are said 

 to be white with dark spots). It flowered (or the first time last season ; this 

 year it has flowered again, and more than exceeded the great expectations 

 which were formed of its beauty. ]\Ir. Rintz thinks it the handsomest ever 

 raised, and that if it had bloomed in the splendid green-houses of the Lon- 

 don nurserymen, it would have attracted great notice ; the parents from 

 which it was originated are not mentioned.
