Berbera^CE^. — Berberis tenuifblia Lindl., Bot. Reg. Mis- 

 cell., No. cxxi. Syn. Mahon/a sp., Ar-h. Brit., p. 308. Plants 

 of this very beautiful evergreen shrub were raised from seeds sent 

 to the Society by M. Hartweg, the Society's collector in Mexico. 

 The leaves are pinnate, entire, and quite smooth, on very long 

 slender footstalks; the plants are, probably, about as hardy as 

 Berberis dealbata or B. fascicularis, and form one of the most 

 interesting introductions since that o^ Berberis ^quifcMiiuii. 



^CERA^CE.'E. — K cer hyrcdnum Fischer. A distinct species of 

 ^^cer introduced by the Society, from the Botanic Garden at St. 

 Petersburg. It seems intermediate between A. campestre and 

 A. ibericum, and quite hardy. 



Also the following acers were raised from seeds presented to 

 the Society : — A. obtusifolium Baron Jacquiji, Arb. Brit., p. 430. 

 A. obtusiitum Baron Jacquin, Arb, Brit., p. 430., A. ibericum 

 Dr. Fischer, Arb. Brit., p. 431.

 curious shrub were raised from seeds presented to the Society by 

 Capt. Morse Cooper. 



? Celastra'ce^. — Geblcrix siijfridicbsa Fischer. This small 

 shrub resembles in habit £u6nymus obovatus, Arb. Brit. 501., 

 and is only fit for planting on rockwork. It was raised from 

 seeds presented to the Society by Dr. Fischer. 



i?HAMNA^CE^. — Wuwmus Palldsn Fischer. Plants of this 

 species were raised from seeds received from the Botanic Garden, 

 St. Petersburg. They seem very distinct, resembling, in their 

 present young state, the narrow-leaved variety of li. Erythro- 

 xylon, Arb. Brit., p. 534. 



R. subsempervirens of Messrs. Booth seems to be the same 

 as R. hybridus.

 recurvum, Arb. Brit., 506., and Ilort. Lig., 20. 



Legumino^s^ § Lo^'i'^m. — Cylisns JVeldenn Strangimys. The 

 Society is indebted to the Hon. W, F. Strangways for the seeds 

 from which the plants were raised. It seems a strong free- 

 growing species, having, in its present young state, a great re- 

 semblance to the purple laburnum.
