Dr. Lindley observes that he has figured this plant " merely 

 for the sake of disputing the false impression that still exists 

 as to its appearance; " and that he thinks it " not at all worth 

 cultivation." [Bot. Reg., June.) We have already said, in the 

 Arboret7imBrita?micu?n,p. 590., that, "though this hybrid has been 

 highly spoken of by some cultivators, in point of beauty it cannot 

 be recommended ; " but, on looking at our tree this morning, we 

 are almost sorry that we have spoken so disparagingly of it; for, if 

 not beautiful, it is certainly a very curious object. The purple, 

 or rather dingy pink, flowers with us, this season, are much 

 darker than we ever saw them before ; and, what adds to the in- 

 terest of the tree, some pure yellow flowers have come out for 

 the first time ; while, in addition to these, there is the large 

 bunch of Cytisus purpureus (mentioned Vol. XII. p. 369.) just 

 coming into flower. To enable a person to judge of this tree, 

 therefore, he must imagine the common laburnum, and the Cy'- 

 tisus purpCireus joined to it, and all flowering at the same time, 

 and on the same branch.
