A prostrate, rigid, glaucous-leaved plant, introduced from 

 Italy by the Hon. W. F. Strangways. It lived through the late 

 severe winter on warm dry rockwork, and at the foot of a south 

 wall, well secured from rain. It is a very handsome species, 

 and easily increased by division at the roots. {Bot. Beg., Aug.) 



Zygophyllacece. 



+ Bce'pera aurantiaca Lindl. in Major Mitchell's Australia, in- 

 edit. "A curious species of this small and well-marked genus." 

 The flowers are small, with orange-yellow petals, and they are 

 placed upon long, erect, solitary peduncles. "It was found by 

 Major Mitchell in his latest journey into the interior of New 

 Holland, and was raised in the garden of the Horticultural 

 Society, where it flowers in the open border in July." {B. M. 7?., 

 Sept., No. 105.)

A very splendid species ; the flower measuring Ih, in. from the 

 tip of the upper sepal to the tip of the labellum, and 8^ in. from 

 tip to tip of the two opposite petals. Each petal is about 4 in. long, 

 and 2^ in. in breadth ; and the circumference of the entire blos- 

 som is 24 in. This plant was introduced by George Green, 

 Esq., of Liverpool, in September, 1836, from La Guayra, "a 

 country which," Sir W. J. Hooker observes, " were it properly 

 investigated, would amply reward a collector by many other 

 novelties." [Bot. Mag., Aug.)

" This new zygopetalum has been lately discovered, with 

 many other treasures, in the Organ Mountains of Brazil (at an 

 elevation of above 4000 ft.), by Mr. Gardner, and has been 

 named by him in compliment to his steady friend, Mr. Stewart 

 Murray, of the Glasgow Botanic Garden." {Bot. Mag., Aug.)

" A curious little species, inhabiting the woods of Brazil, 

 whence it was imported by Messrs. Rollisson, with whom it 

 flowered in August, 1837. In many respects, it is very like M. 

 stapeliodes ; and, when out of flower, the two species might be 

 mistaken for each other; but the blossoms are strikingly different 

 in colour, and in the form of the curious crest which stretches 

 across the lip from one side to the other." {Bot. Reg., Aug.)

 whence it was imported by Messrs. Loddiges; and is remarkable
