54 JVoticcs of new and beautiful Plants

 the vicniity of Boston, unless at tlie Botanic Garden at Canibridjre, un- 

 til it flowered witli us. We overlooked the .short notice sent us by a 

 correspondent, (vol. H, p. 262) who saw it in Idoom at Mr. Walker's. 

 We some time since detected our error, and had it in our mind to make 

 the correction once or twice; but each time it escaped our attention. 

 We therefore take the present opportunity, in connection with Mr. 

 Walker's remarks, to state that the G. acaulis flowered in his warden 

 year before last, at which time our plants were but seedlings. It iy such 

 an elegant plant, and its cultivation so delicate, that, thouirh so sli-jht a 

 mistake, it is due to Mr. Walker to jjive him the credit of blooming it 

 previous to ourselves. We hope his remarks on its growth will induce 

 others to add it to their collections of hardy perennial plants. — Ed.
