 jiincea Zuccariiii Rushy Russelia. A green-house plant, growing ahout three feet high ; flow- 

 ers scarlet ; appearing in July and August ; propagated easily by cuttings. Bot. Reg., t. mi. 



Russelia juncea is a beautiful green-house plant. It grows 

 almost destitute of foliage, like a slender rash, and the 

 branches, from their rather drooping habit, have an exceed- 

 ingly neat and graceful appearance. On the end of nearly 

 every twig, is a raceme of tubulous flowers, of a rich scarlet" 

 color, which contrast singularly with the nakedness of the 

 plant. Found in Mexico, by Count Karwinski, and lately 

 introduced into Britain from Berlin and Munich. {Bot. Reg., 

 July.)

 botanical interest." The seed should be sown in August. 

 Introduced from California. {Bot. Reg., Aug.)

DYCKIA Sckultes (named in compliment to his Highness the Prince of Salm, — ReifTerscheid 

 Dyck, a great lover of gardening, i&c.) 

 Ta.rifl6rn Sclniltcs Scattered-flowered Dyckia. A stove plant, two feet high ; flowers orange ; 

 appearing in June ; propagated by ofl^sets. A native of Brazil. Bot. Reg., t. 1782. 



A fine stove plant, agreeing, " in many of its habits," 

 with the aloe. In the dry stove, " it produces its rich orange 

 flowers in great perfection, and retains them in all their 

 freshness and beauty, for several weeks." Its leaf is very 

 curiously constructed ; and Dr. Lindley remarks, that "few 

 persons, when they look at the leaves of a plant, ever think 

 of the curious internal mechanism of which all its vital ac- 

 tions are put and maintained in motion ; and yet there is 

 not, in the whole range of the creation, a more singular ob- 

 ject than a leaf, nor one whose structure is a more admirable 

 instance of design and forethought." Introduced from Ber- 

 lin, by the Horticultural Society, in 1833. {Bot. Reg., Aug.)

STYPANDRA 



proplnqua AU. Cunningham MSS. Slender aznre-flowered Stypandra. A green-house peren- 

 nial plant; flowers aziue blue ; increased by cuttings. A native of New South Wales. Bot. 

 Mag., t. 8417. 



"A handsome plant." It was raised from seed in the 

 Kew gardens, in 1822; "but under whatever culture, has 

 not shown itself a plant of free growth." It grows in large 

 tufts among sandstone rocks, in New South Wales. {Bot. 

 Mag., July.)
