68 JVotices of ncio and beautiful Plants 



ing the centre ones like an unexpanded bud, until they all open at 

 once: the inner ones are marbled or splashed with white. This 

 is not the Sweeticina of the English gardens, and one of the last 

 productions of that late excellent practical botanist, in honor of 

 whom it was named; but is probably a French seedling, as the 

 plant was received from France. We have previously spoken 

 of the beauty of the others, except oxoniensis; this is also a 

 French variety, but deserves to be ranked with the fine varieties 

 produced by the Messrs. Chandler, of Vauxhall, and figured in 

 their splendid work; the color is a lively pink, the flower loose 

 in its formation, with two or three rows of large symetrically 

 formed petals, and a few small inner ones which are delicately 

 pencilled with white; the flowers remain in perfection a great 

 length of time. A plant called gigantea shows a promising bud; 

 we have never seen one so large, except upon the original plant 

 of Floyii, in the collection of the grower of this superb sort; it 

 will undoubtedly be a very desirable variety. Many others ai"e 

 in bloom, but their elegance can only be appreciated by seeing 

 the flowers. The annexed list of varieties will be in flower here 

 during this month: —

 has been extremely splendid this season; from one to three hun- 

 dred flowers have been expanded during the past month, and,
