Azalea indica var. latcritia and variegdta are now in bloom 

 in Hovey &. Co.'s collection of plants. The latter is ex- 

 ceedingly beautiful; the petals are of a pale and delicate pink, 

 elegantly streaked witli deeper tints, and shading into white at 

 the edge: the habit and growth of the plant is neat, and the 

 foliage small. A. i. var. lateritia has light crimson flowers; 

 in habit it resembles the variegata. Both of them are fine 

 additions to the tribe, and from their hybridization with the 

 old white and others, many fine new varieties may be expect- 

 ed in the course of a few years. 



Epiphyllum Russellmnum. — This new, and said to be, pret- 

 ty, species, will flower in Messrs. Hovey's collection this 

 month: it is now showing several buds.

j?NEMO>NE 

 rivulAris J?jic7j. The Rill Anemnne, A hnrdy perennial; growing eighteen inches hiph; 

 with wliite flowers; appearing in summer; a native of the East Indias; increased by 

 cuttings and division of tlie roots. Hot. Reg., 1842, t. 8. 



Several of the anemonies are pretty perennial plants, bloom- 

 ing early, and desirable for small collections. The present 

 subject is a neat addition to the flower border, throwing up a 

 stem eighteen inches high, from the summit of which spring 

 numerous small stems, terminated with white flowers. The 

 leaves are three-parted, lobed, and dentate; involucre sessile 

 and three-parted. This species was raised from seeds re- 

 ceived from Dr. Falconer, of Saparunpar. It is readily in- 

 creased, both by division of the roots, and by seeds, and 

 grows freely in any ordinary soil and a situation not too wet, 

 suffering more from moisture than from cold. It has "no 

 inconsiderable resemblance" to our native species, Jl. penn- 

 sylvanica. (Bat. Reg., Feb.)

GODE'TM 

 albescens Lindl. Whitish Gcdetia. A hnrdy annual; growinp eighteen inches hich; 

 with blush-colored flowers; appearing in summer; increased by seeds; a native of Co- 

 lumbia River. Bot. Reg., 184J, t. 9. 



"A new hardy annual, not very handsome, but forming an 

 agreeable variety when grown among species of a more spread- 

 ing habit." The main stem is very thickly clothed with 

 branches, which gives the plant a crowded and compact habit, 

 less graceful than most of the species. The flowers are pink, 

 fading to white near the centre, and are thickly displayed all
