 of Mr. Towne the past spring. We shall notice it further here- 

 after.

CLE'MATIS 



florida var. bicolor Lindl. We noticed this beautiful variety 

 in our III, p. 413, under the name of C. Sieboldi, a name 

 which was given to it in the gardens. Dr. Lindley states, how- 

 ever, that it is only a variety of the florida. For a particular 

 notice of it we refer the reader to our last volume, p. 413. 



It is stated that it grows freely in good loamy soil, flowers 

 nearly all the summer, and may be increased by cuttings, though 

 rather slowly. It is not likely to prove hardy in our climate, as 

 the plants were killed down to the ground, the last winter, in 

 English collections. {Bot. Reg., May.)

PHILADE'LPnUS 



*trifl6rus fValUch. "A plant of this rare species, raised from 

 seeds obtained from the Himalaya Mountains, by Dr. Royle, has 

 lately flowered imperfectly in the garden of the Horticultural 

 Society. It has the habit of P. laxus, and is slightly but agree- 

 ably fragrant. It will prove quite hardy. (Bot. Reg., May.)

RI'BES 



*Menziesu Smith. Another pretty species, raised from the 

 seeds last received from the late JMr. Douglas. It is allied to the 

 beautiful speciosum. The flowers are solitary, axillary, and nod- 

 ding in the axils of the leaves. Dried specimens indicate a color 

 nearly the same as the speciosum. The plants have not yet 

 flowered, but will probably do so next year. [Bot. Reg., May.)

Syn: Pimelea nivea Floral CatiacJ not Labillardiere. 



A pretty green-house shrub, "with long slender side branches 

 covered with its neat pink and white flowers, from the foot to 

 the top of the plant." The lower leaves are opposite, ovate, 

 acute, the intermediate ones oval obtuse, the up])er ones alter- 

 nate orbicular. The flowers appear in terminal clusters, as in 

 the other species. It will be a very fine addition to our green- 

 house plants, and especially to this genus, of which two species 

 only are to be found in our more choice collections. It is treat- 

 ed like the other species, in the following manner: —
