CXCI. Caprifolidcece. 



CAPRIFOLIUM. 



hispidulum Lindl. Bristly Honeysuckle ; a hardy shrub ; grows from two to three feet high ; 

 flowering in July ; color of the Howers rosy ; a native of north-west America. Bot. Reg., 

 t. 1761. 



This is another of the rare and beautiful shrubs, discovered 

 by the lamented Doug-las, in the woods of north-west 

 \merica. It is a desirable addition to the honeysuckles, 

 from all of which it differs, and is without scarcely any 

 fragrance. " It will not readily grow more than two or three 

 feet high," and prefers lying prostrate to twining rovmd 

 other plants. In the English gardens, "in common soil, it 

 can scarcely be kept alive; but in peat, and loam, it grows 

 as readily as any other hardy American plant." The flowers 

 are terminal, in glomerate heads, from seven to ten each; 

 the leaves are cordate, ovate, nearly sessile, glaucous under- 

 neath; but of a bright green on the surface. The drawing 

 was made from a plant growing in the Horticultural Society's 

 garden at Chiswick. [Bot. Reg. May). 



CXCV. Asclepiddece. 



PHVSIANTHUS; 



ilbens Martins. White Bladderbloom ; a climbing green-house plant ; flowers white ; propa- 

 gated by cuttings ; a native of Mexico. Bot. Reg. t. i759. 



A handsome species of this scarcely known genus, with 

 our gardeners; the plant is a rapid climber, with opposite, 

 cordate, acute leaves ; flowers campaulate, in cymes, of two 

 or three each, which appear singly at every joint; color 

 white, with lines of pink; " easily propagated by cuttings." 

 {Bot. Reg., May). 



CCXIV, Jlcanthdceoe. 



GOLDFTTSSIA. (In honor of Dr Golfuss, Prof, of Nat. Hist, at Bonn, on the Rhine). 



aoisophylla iVees. Unequal-leaved Goldfussia. A stove plant; growiig two feet high; 

 flowers purplish-blue, veined with pale marks of the same color ; appearing in spring and 

 summer; a native of Silhet, in India. Bot. Mag., t. 3404. 



Nearly allied to some of the species of Ruellia, to which 

 genus it was referred by Dr. Wallich, through whom it was 

 introduced to European gardens. The leaves are oblong, 

 cordate-acuminate, and serrated ; the flowers mostly solitary, 

 on axillary peduncles which are partially " concealed by the 

 distichous foliage ;" a very desirable plant. {Bot. Mag. May.) 



CCXXI. Lahidtem. 



CHILODIA. 



scutellarioides Broxim. Scutellnria-like Chilodia. A green-house shrub; growing two or 

 three feet high ; flowers, violet blue, appearing at various seasons; introduced in 1828; a 

 native of New South Wales. Bot. Mag., t. 3405. 



This is stated by Dr. Hooker, as "an interesting acqui- 

 sition to our [green-house] collections." It is a shrub with 

 numerous upright slender branches, which are opposite ; 

 leaves opposite linear-lanceolate, acute, dark green above 

 and whitish underneath; flowers solitary on short axillary 

 peduncles ; the flowers of this species are somewhat like the 

 Scutellaria vulgaris, from which it takes its name. {Bot. 

 Mag., May).
