more plentiful than the former, continuing in long suc- 

 cessions. The pots require to be well drained ; very 

 few plants of either in the country. 



Burchellias, two species. B. capensis is a beautiful 

 dwarf evergreen shrub, with tubular scarlet flowers in 

 large terminale clusters; when well treated, grows and 

 flowers freely, and highly deserving of attention. B. 

 parviflbra differs from the above in the flowers being 

 smaller and paler, and the foliage more pointed. 



Beaufortias, only two species. B. decussata is splen- 

 did ; the flowers come out of the wood with stamens 

 in fine parcels, colour bright scarlet, foliage decussate, 

 oval, and many-nerved, bloom persistent, and much 

 esteemed. B. spdrsa, in flower similar to the other, 

 colour light pink, foliage scattered, both easy of cul- 

 ture, and flower abundantly. 



Brunias, about ten species, have heath-like foliage, 

 very fine, generally, on close observation, found to be 

 three cornered. The flowers are white and globular, 

 the plants when young are very handsome ; the finest 

 are B. nodiflbra, B. lanuginosa, B. comosa, B. abrotanoides, 

 and B. formbsa. They require an airy situation, and 

 in summer to be protected from the powerful rays of 

 the sun. Drain the pots well. 



Bosea yervamora, Golden rod tree, leaves large, alter- 

 nate, ovate, acute, with purple veins and nerves, 

 flowers brown, in axillary dense panicles, grows strong 

 and freely.
