Floricultural Intelligence. — We stated, in our last number, that 

 Mr. Lowell brought home with him, on his return from the West 

 Indies, several kinds of cactuses. We have had the pleasure of 

 seeing them since we gave that notice, and they all look in good 

 condition, and will make strong plants. Among the number are 

 opunlias, echinocactuses, &c. &lc. Some are quite curious. 

 Mr. Lowell has one which he procured under the name of trian- 

 gularis, and which appears quite different from the species culti- 

 vated, by the same name, in the collections of this country. 

 The furrows on the stem are scarcely perceptible in the plant in 

 Mr. Lowell's possession. In addition to these, Mr. Lowell 

 brought home seven species of palms, and several orchidaceous 

 plants, including some oncidiums, &c. Stc.; also a fine specimen 

 of the Musa rosacae^a, which has a most superb inflorescence. 

 These, with several dozen pine-apple plants, and other things, 

 are doing well, and, under the care of INIr. Lowell's gardener, 

 will no doubt soon become strong and vigorous plants.

 A beautiful new seedling hibiscus is figured in the Horticul- 

 tural Journal for May. The flower is of a pale pink, handsome- 

 ly shaped, and measures upwards of five inches in diameter. 

 No description is appended to the plate. It is stated to have 

 been raised by Mr. Fuller. It will be a very good addition to 

 collections.

Some very fine new varieties have lately been produced in Eng- 

 land, and exhibited at the meetings of the Royal Society and Cen- 

 tral School of Horticulture and Agriculture. Throe of them are 

 stated to be of the most beautiful form, and very double. Only 

 one of the kinds has been named, and this is called the iiosa Vic- 

 toria; the color is a bright rose. One of the others is a dark-
