SUPPLEMENTARY SPECIES AND VARIETIES, 



WITH CORRECTIONS. 



IN the following List we have omitted a number of garden names, as of 

 doubtful application ; and we have given few or no descriptions, because 

 most of the plants are just raised from seed, or introduced from abroad. 

 A similar list to the present has been given in the Gardener's Magazine 

 every year since the publication of the large edition of the Arboretum, and will 

 continue to be given yearly, so that, by referring to that work, the latest 

 introductions of hardy woody plants may always be ascertained. 



7?ANUNCULA V CE^: : CLEMATI'DE^E. Page 2. 



_A QLE'MATIS calif arnica Gard. Mag. 1841, p. 13., is a very doubtful species, 

 said to resemble C. florida. 



1 ATRA'GENE macropetala Ledebour MS. G. M. 1840, p. 631. A native of 

 Siberia, resembling A. alpina, and probably only a variety of it. 



Several suffruticose species of Clematis are described in Torrey and Gray's 

 Flora of North America, which remain to be introduced.

* ILLI'CIUM religiosum Sieb. ? The Skimi of the Japanese. Probably a

MAGNOL/^C.. Page 21. 



J MAGN(?LIA grandiflora var. Hdrwicus Hort. Said to be raised between 

 M. grandiflora exoniensis and M. fuscata, and to be quite hardy. (G. M. 

 1842, p. 13.) 



Sfe M. purpiirea var. hybrida Hort. A dwarf variety, well adapted for a wall 

 in a small garden. (G. M. 1842, p. 13.) 



BERBER^ CEM. Page 41. 



Several species of Berberis and Mahonza have lately been raised from 

 Himalayan seeds in the Horticultural Society's Garden, to which names 

 cannot yet be given with certainty ; but the following, chiefly raised since the 

 printing of this work was commenced, are considered true to their names : 

 & BE'RBERIS vulgaris fol. purpureis Hort. This is a very ornamental plant, 



with leaves as dark as those of the purple hazel. Lawson's Nursery, 



Edinburgh. 



* MAHO'NIA. pallida. (Berberis pallida Hartw. Benth. Plant. Hart. p. 34. 



No. 268.) Resembles M. ^4quif61ium, but the leaflets are smaller, less 

 spiny, and from 11 to 15 in number. Flowers whitish ; hence the specific 

 name. Found in Mexico, where it grows from 6 ft. to 8 ft. high. ( G. M. 

 1840, p. 631.) 



* M. grdcilis. (B. gracilis Hartw. Benth. PI. Hart. No. 271.) Pinnate, with 



4 pairs of leaflets, slightly toothed. Mexico, where it grows about 6 ft. 

 high. (G. M. 1840, p. 631.) 



* M. irifoliata. (B. trifoliata Hartw. Bot. Reg. Chron. 149. 1841.) Trifoliate, 



with small yellowish green prickly folioles, and fruit of a yellowish green 

 when ripe. Mexico, and* about as hardy as M. fascicularis. (G. M. 1840, 

 p. 631.)
