" This plant is one of the valuable additions made to our 

 collections by Dr. Siebold, by whom it was introduced from 

 Japan, of which interesting country he is now engaged in the 

 publication of a complete account of the history, social state, and 

 natural productions." 



" The present plant," says Professor Don, " appears to have 

 been regarded as a distinct species ; but, after a most carfeul 

 comparison with the ordinary form of C\ florida, we are satisfied 

 of its being only a variety of that highly oinaniental species. 

 The leaves and branches are rather more hairy, and the petals 

 suffused with violet spots ; so that the flower has, in florists' 

 languiige, a dark eye. No plant, however, possesses stronger 

 claims to a place in the flower-garden, from its graceful habit, 

 and from the size and beauty of its blossoms. The plant thrives 

 best in a mixture of peat and loam, and is increased by layers."

Received at the Glasgow Botanic Garden (where it flowered 

 in a warm open border) from Mr. Booth of Hamburg, under 

 the name here adoptetl, and evidently intended to conuuemorate 

 the services, rendered to science and botany in particular, of 

 Dr. Alexander Bunge, who not only accompanied Professor 

 Ledebour in his celebrated travels in the Altai, but was attached 

 to the Russian mission which went to Pekin, during which he 

 collected many plants in the north of China. It is nearly allied 

 to L. grandiflora Jacq., and was found by Dr. Bunge in a garden 

 at Pekin. {Bot. Mag., Aug.)
