 Raised by C. Marshall (gardener at Mrs. Langtey's, Southborough, 

 Kingston, Surrey), from seeds of L. lepidus. From the suffrutescence, 

 habits, and foliage, Mi-. Sweet judges L. tomentosus to be its male parent. 

 Mr. Marshall states thus of the hybrid : — " It continues in bloom till the 

 sharp frost sets in, and it had thirty spikes in flower on it at one time, 

 from 12 to 18 in, in length, although the plant which produced all these 

 had been moved late in spring." Mr. Sweet remarks : — " This plant, 

 when dormant, produces a knot at the end of each shoot and joint, and up 

 the stem, clothed with leaves ; and there can be no doubt that these wouiil 

 all soon make plants, if taken off, and planted in the ground ; so that it wiil 

 soon become plentiful." [Lupinus polyphyllus, last autumn, exhibited, in 

 Dennis's Nursery, many of these leafy knots, on flower stems which had 

 risen too late in the season to flower fully and freely.] " We have seen 

 flowers of several other curious hybrids of this genus, sent to us at 

 the same time as the present, and others in some other collections, 

 particularly in that of Messrs. Allen and Rogers, nurserymen. King's 

 Road, Chelsea, and also at Battersea ; in their nursery at the latter place 

 they are chiefly grown. Some of these are very beautiful, and might rea- 

 dily be taken for real species, if their origin were not properly determined."

Received, a few years since, from the Cape, by Messrs. RoUison of 

 Tooting. It is a hardy green-house plant, extremely neat in its foliage, and 

 rather pretty when its brick-red flowers, nestled in down, make their ap- 

 pearance. Very near Soulangi« [Phylica that was] /hyinifolia, h-om which 

 it differs chiefly in its branches being more downy, and its flowers much 

 larger and more woolly. (Boi. Reg.^ May.)

A distinct and pleasing species of this pecidiar and most interesting 

 genus ; " but it will be most likely a long time before it will be for sale in 

 this country, except some person go to Carolina oi- Creorgia [the native 

 countries of the species] and send home a quantity of it." (^Flower-Gar-

This plant has been found in Van Diemen's Land, as well as in New 

 Holland ; but, in the former country, at present only about Macquarie's 

 Harbour, and is by the colonists called Macquarie's Harbour grape; but, 

 although its axillary racemes of fruit at first sight resemble grapes, and 

 although the stems of the plant ramble like those of a vine, and even to 

 the extent of 60 ft. in a single season, the likeness does not hold fartlier. 

 The seed of all the polygonums, which is a small hard nut, is known to be 

 wholesome (as buckwheat) ; but in P. adpressuni, the seed is invested with 

 the enlarged and fleshy segments of the calyx ; which gives to each fruit 

 the appearance of a berry : some acidity in these fruits renders them avail- 

 able in tarts. About Macquarie's Harbour, the fruits of this plant are ripe 

 in December and January. (Bot, Mag., April.)
