 salicifdlia v.ir. erandifldra Z^nu/?. l.ars,e fiowercd Heimia. A green-house plant; grow- 

 ing three feet high; with yellow flowers; Rppearing in June A native of Buenos 

 Ayres. Increased by cuttings. Introduced in 1839. Bot. Reg., 1841, t. 60. 



Heimia salicifolia is an old plant, introduced from the Ber- 

 lin Botanic Garden long ago. The present subject is a vari- 

 ety of it, or at least Dr. Lindley so thinks, in the absence of 

 sufficient materials for comparison. The plant grows from 

 two to three feet high, with short linear lanceolate foliage, and 

 large deep yellow flowers, somewhat resembling a Ly thrum: 

 the branches have a graceful drooping habit, and are loaded 

 with flowers almost up to their summit. The plant should be 

 grown in the green-house, in the "society of camellias, aza- 

 leas, and hardy kinds of New Holland plants." It first flow- 

 ered in June last, in the collection at Sion House. (Bot. 

 Reg., Nov.)

The introduction of Clianthus puniceus to our gardens is 

 fresh in the memory of every cultivator: notwithstanding its 

 great beauty, very few persons have ever seen a plant in 

 bloom, and, at the present time, we doubt whether many spe- 

 cimens are to be found in cultivation. The present subject 

 is very similar to the C. puniceus, except in the color of the 

 flowers, which is of a pale pink or flesh color; and though of 

 course less brilliant than the former, quite pretty from their 

 delicate tint. It has good evergreen leaves, and is well adapt- 

 ed for a cold conservatory, where it would prove an excellent 

 plant for training over a trellis. Its cultivation is simple, only 

 requiring a rather rich strong soil, and plenty of room to 

 grow, and it will then flower freely: its roots do not like con- 

 finement in a pot, and, in consequence, it is not suited for 

 growing in that manner. It strikes freely from cuttings.
