Botanical and Florlcultiiral Intelligence. — A Monograph of 

 the Genus Oenothera is in preparation, with drawings, from the 

 pencil of Mrs. Edward Roscoe, of Liverpool, and the descrip- 

 tions by the Rev. William Hinks, F. L. S., of York. The 

 work will appear in numbers, in 4to, each of eight plates, price 

 10s. 6f/., and will extend from seven to ten numbers. Every 

 facility will be aftbrded to this accomplished lady, especially by 

 specimens from gardens, to make this work' worthy of public 

 patronage. The plates will be colored and executed in lithogra- 

 phy by Mr. Gauci. — (Annals of J^atural History.) A very in- 

 teresting work might bo made from this large and beautiful genus, 

 some of the species of which are remarkably showy. 



JMr. G. Gardner., botanical collector in Brazil, has sent 

 home dried specimens of four hundred and ninety species of 

 plants in a fine state of preservation, with the numbers and lo- 

 calities attached to them, and in some instances the names also. 

 They were collected in the vicinity of Pernambuco, whose flora 

 is particularly rich in Composite83,^Ielastomaceae, ^'l/yrtacecE,Le- 

 guminoscC, &:c. &c. We have extracted, in another page under 

 our foreign notices^ some account of Mr. Gardner's excursion, 

 which will be found exceedingly interesting. 



J\Ir. Hogg, nurseryman, of New York, whose visit to Lon- 

 don we noticed in our last, has just returned, afier an absence of 

 three or foiu* months, and has, we have understood, brought out 

 with him many new and fine plants. We have no doubt he has 

 secured one of the finest collections of geraniums, for the culture 

 and sale of which, he has been so long celebrated. W^e hail the 

 introduction of such collections of plants with great pleasure, and 

 are glad to see such evidence of the spread of a floricultural 

 taste throughout the country, manifesting itself as it does in the 

 continual demand for the new and superior productions, of our 

 own as w^ell as of foreign growth. Our nurserymen and florists 

 have only to keep their collections up by the addition of every 

 thing new and rare; and the demand for the more choice species 

 and varieties will be as extensive as they can easily supply.
