revolution in the varieties. By hybridization between it and the 

 dwarf and yellow species and varieties, its vigorous and robust 

 constitution, as well as the brilliancy of the corolla of the JVI. 

 cardinalis, will be imparted to the progeny. It is certainly, in 

 our opinion, the finest species of the genus. All the lately in- 

 troduced species and varieties are deserving of general cultiva- 

 tion: they are valuable for the green-house or parlor, flowering 

 excellently and abundantly for a long time. 



Antirrhinum caryophylloldes. — A new species under this name 

 has been flowering at JNIr. Knight's, of the King's Road, Chel- 

 sea, which is stated, in Paxton's Magazine of Botany, to be 

 the finest and most beautiful species, without exception, yet 

 known in England; when in flower it possesses all the beauty of 

 a fine carnation, from whence its specific name. It flowers well 

 in the green-house or in the open border. 



Yerbena Drummond'i is said to be a fine companion to the 

 chamaedrifolia; it has pink blossoms, deliciously fragrant, and the 

 contrast between two beds, one of each, is extremely elegant.

A species possessing no great claims upon the lover of epi- 

 phytes. The flowers are small, the sepals of a dull green, and 

 the petals and labellum tinged with brown; they appear on short 

 spikes, each plant producing from five to eight. It has been a 

 scarce species around London ever since it was introduced. 

 The specimens from which the drawing was taken were re- 

 ceived, together with the description, from Wrii. B. Booth, 

 gardener to Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., of Carclew. [Bot. Reg.,

This is the species mentioned in the Register, t. 1942, and 

 noticed, at page 232, as being the one in the possession of the 

 Messrs. Loddiges, very similar to the B. barbigerum. Like 

 that it is extremely curious and splendid, although it is a smaller 

 growing species. The flowers appear on pendulous racemes, 

 not more than three inches long, and are formed very similar to 

 the B. barbigerum: the lip possesses the same power of being 

 set in motion by the least breath of air. It should be in every 

 collection of this tribe. It flowered with the Messrs. Loddiges, 

 in December last. (Bot. Reg., July.)
