have the approbation of every botanist and of every lover of 

 horticulture. I think there can be no doubt but, under proper 

 management, by forcing in the early spring, and planting out in 

 the open border, this plant will there perfect its flowers as 

 readily as the Phlox DrummondzV." It appears to be an in- 

 valuable addition to the flower-garden." [Bot. Mag., Jan.)

"This showy plant may be considered as a decided improve- 

 ment upon the Mimulus roseus. It was obtained from seeds 

 of a plant of that species, which had been fertilised by pollen 

 from ilfimulus cardinalis. Many specimens were raised in 

 the Botanic Garden of Bury St. Edmunds, which all resembled 

 each other, and flowered for the first time during the summer of 

 1837. [The Botanist, Jan.) [When Mr. Turner sent us a 

 plant of this hybrid, he expressed a wish that the specific name 

 should be in honour of his employer, Mr. Hodson ; but the name 

 roseo-cardinaUs, a distinctive term, composed of the two parent 

 species, being founded on a general principle laid down some 

 years ago in the Horticultural Society s Transact iojis, when Pas- 

 siflora caeruleo-racemosa came into notice, is in every respect 

 preferable, and we therefore adopt it.]

" This is another South American verbena of the Melhidres 

 group, for the discovery of which we are indebted to Mr. 

 Tweedie, who sent the seeds to G. F. Dickson, Esq., of Everton, 

 near Liverpool, by whom they were raised in 1836." It is ex- 

 tremely handsome. The blossoms are of a deep red rose-colour, 

 with a yellow eye, and become paler in age. It will rank next 

 to V. T\veed/a;i(7, from which it differs in the broad and depressed 

 (not spiked) corymbs ; in the broader leaves, which are more 

 deeply lobed, and cut in a pinnatifid manner. Tiiis will, in all 

 probability, prove as hardy a species as V. chamaedrifolia. {Bot,

It is nearly allied to M. racemosa; but the pseudo-bulb and 

 leaf are very different; the flowers larger, of a full golden brown 

 colour ; the spur shorter, more obtuse, and more closely applied 

 to the germen ; and the lip is narrower, and very different in 

 form. {Bot. Mag., Jan.)
