 diiiidra JVilld. Diandrons Marlyiii.i. A tender annual: crowing from two to three feet 

 iiigli ; with deep crimson, p-il:- pink and yellow flowers; a native of Vera Ciuz; iii- 

 crcasfil liy seeds. Hot. Ket'., 2001. 

 Syuonyiiie : Martynia angnlosa Lanark. 



A rather interesting plant, with beautiful blossoms, pendulous, 

 upon erect axillary racemes, of a most delicate pink, fading to 

 while, with the lips of the lobes of the corolla deeply stained 

 with crimson, and a bright streak of yellow passing down the 

 tube from the middle of the lip. The foliage is coarse, and 

 an unpleasant odor is emitted from the whole plant, as in the 

 common Martynia. Excepting this, we think it would be a gen- 

 eral favorite. It is tender, and requires the same treatment as a 

 balsam or coxcomb. The drawing was taken from a specimen 

 which grew in the garden of the late Mr. Rothschild. [Bot. Reg.,

 jasminoides Lindl. .Tnsmine-^cmfrf Tecnma. A beautiful erren-hou?e climliine fhrnb;

 a native of New Holland. Kot. Rpl'., 2002. 

 Synonyme: Kiijiioiim ja^mino)des Horl. 



One of the most elegant green-house climbers we are acquaint- 

 ed with. The flowers appear in dense terminal panicles, 

 gracefully pendulous; coralla tubulous, campanulate, the limb 

 plane and sub-equal, divided into six segments, of a pure white, 

 and the tube inside of a deep crimson; leaves pinnate, glaucous and 

 shining. Nothing could exceed, judging from the representation 

 of the specimen figured, a plant of the T. jasminoides in full 

 flower. Its numerous snowy corols, heightened with rich crim- 

 son, are charming in an eminent degree. It is stated to be not 

 uncommon in English collections, but is a very shy flowerer. It 

 is supposed a native of New Holland, and to have been original- 

 ly received at the royal gardens at Kew. The drawing was 

 made from the nursery of the Messrs. Chandler, Vauxhall, in 

 whose collection it blossomed last August. It is undoubtedly as 

 easy of cultivation as the common T. capensis. [Bot. Reg.

A very singular stove twiner, with oblong acute leaves, wilh 

 prominent veins on the under surface, and of a yellowish-green 

 color; calyx five-parted, pale blue; corolla five-parted, pale pur- 

 ple. The plant produces pendant racemes of flowers from the 

 extremities of the branches, which remain beautiful for a long
