 to be the same plant as »Sida pulchella BonpL, which has borne 

 the common winters of Cornwall for the last five years, and which 

 has stood out about London till the present winter. (Bot. Beg., 

 March.) We have given a figure of it in the Arb. Brit., p. 363.

A tuberous-rooted perennial, with climbing stems, in the man- 

 ner of Tropae^olum tricolorum, but far mpre vigorous. The 

 leaves are six and seven-lobed, and the flowers of a bright orange 

 scarlet and yellow. The flowers are much larger than those of 

 the last-named species, far more brilliant in colour, are produced 

 in greater abundance, and the plant is supposed to be more 

 hardy. It thrives well in equal parts of loam and peat, in a 

 No. 16. pot. It was imported, in August 1836, from Santiago, by 

 Messrs. Youell, nurserymen and florists, Yarmouth ; and named 

 by them in compliment to John Jarratt, Esq., of Camerton 

 House, near Bath, a spirited horticulturist. {Paxt. Mag. of 

 Bot., March.)

A tuberous-rooted perennial, with five-lobed leaves, and yellow 

 flowers, not unlike those of the common nasturtium, but smaller. 

 It is a native of Peru, where the tubers are used as food by the 

 inhabitants. Treated like the potato, it may probably prove a 

 culinary vegetable of luxury in England, and other parts of 

 Europe; but very few trials have jet been made. See p. 254? , 

 where we have recommended it for trial.

-h Trymdlium odorathsimum Fenzl. This genus has been esta- 

 blished for the plants, inhabiting New Holland, which were for- 

 merly supposed to belong to Ceanothus. T. odoratissimum is a 

 new and very interesting addition to the genus, introduced from 

 Swan River, by R. Mangles, Esq., by whom a plant in flower 

 was presented to the Horticultural Society of London, in Feb. 

 1838. Mr. Mackay, the gardener at Sunning Hill, finds the 

 plant apt to damp ofFin winter, if not kept in a warm and light 

 situation. {Bot. Reg., April.)
