FloricuUural Intelligence. — Messrs. Young, nurserymen of 

 Epsom, England, have received from Pliiladelpbia several new 

 plants, probably sent by INIr. Buist, and part of those raised by 

 him, from seeds brought from California by Mr. Nuttall. We 

 are not informed what particular plants they are, but Mr. Paxton 

 states, that among them is one called Anemia californica, and 

 "great expectations are entertained of it." We should suppose 

 that if it had been any thing very remarkable, Mr. Buist would 

 have informed us of it. Mr. Buist has, probably, plants of it for 

 sale. We have not read any description of the flower. — (^Pax.

ACO'NnUM 

 cliineiue Par(. Chinese Aconite, A hardy perennial plant; growing from four to five feet 

 hii;h; with blue flowt-rs; appearing in antuiiin; a native of Japan; introiliiced about 1833; 

 cultivated in con:mon jjarilen soil; increased by seeds and cuttings. 



"A new and highly ornamental species," introduced from Ja- 

 pan by Dr. Von Siebold. 1'he plant grows from four to five 

 feet high. The flowers are somewhat similar to the common 

 species in our gardens, but rather larger, and of a very deep blue. 

 The terminal blossoms expand first, which, if our memory serves 

 us, in the common kind do not, and soon after the whole flower 

 stalk is clothed with its beautiful blossoms, which expand on lat- 

 eral branches, springing from the axil of every leaf, even to the 

 very base of the stem. This character gives it an additional in- 

 terest, and a greater claim upon our care. It remains in bloom 

 about two months, and is probably quite hardy, though it would 

 undoubtedly be best when introduced to our gardens, to keep it 

 in a frame or in the green-house, until a stock was secured, for 

 fear of losing it. It was received from the continent, and flower- 

 ed in the nursery of Messrs. Young of Epsom, who furnished 

 the specimen from which the drawing was made. It ripens seed 

 freely, and may thus be speedily introduced to our collections. —
