Tiiis extremely curious plant is a native of damp shady 

 places among stones, on the mountains of Java, and of similar 

 situations in the woods of Ceylon, whence it was sent to the 

 Duke of Northumberland. The beauty of the plant consists in 

 the leaves, which are singularly painted with golden veins upon 

 a brownish purple ground, as if, in the words of Rumphius, 

 "some cunning painter had traced them over with unknown 

 characters." It requires the same treatment as Goodyerfl', 

 Spiranthes, and other terrestrial orchidaceous plants. [Bot. 

 Beg., Dec.)

" A most beautiful species of Canna, drawings of which were 

 long since sent to England from China ; and of which seeds have 

 at length been procured by Mr. Reeves, to whom we owe so 

 many of the finest Chinese plants now in the gardens of Europe. 

 It is very near C. flaccida ; so very near, that it may be doubted 

 whether it is distinct." The plant is in the Horticultural So- 

 ciety's Garden. (Bot. Beg., Nov.)

Obtained from the Swan River, by Robert Mangles, Esq. It 

 differs from the broad-leaved form of the species, in having very 

 narrow leaves, and somewhat smaller flowers, which are either 

 coloured reddish orange at the base, or are of one uniform 

 green. It is ea.sy to cultivate, if the soil contains a small 

 portion of chalk mixed with loam and peat. [Bot. Reg., Dec.)

" All the lilies previously seen in Europe, however beautiful 

 they may be, are quite thrown into the shade by this most glorious 

 species, for which we have to thank Dr. Van Sieboldt, who intro- 

 duced it into Holland from Japan. Not only is it handsome be- 

 yond all we before knew in gardens, on account of the clear deep 

 rose-colour of its flowers, which seem all rugged with rubies and 

 garnets, and sparkling with crystal points ; but it has the sweet 

 fragrance of a petunia." It requires the same treatment as L. 

 japonicum and longiflorum, which flower beautifully every year,
