66 J\oticcs of neto and beautiful Plants 



Art. V. Mtices of new and beautiful Plants figured in the 

 London Floricultural and Botanical Magazines; with some 

 account of those which it would be desirable to introduce into 

 our Gardens.

 hardy plants introduced by Mr. Douglas is also appended to the 

 above notice of his life.
