Closely related to G. cinerea, but G. canescens has the segment of its 

 perianth much more acuminated than has G. arenaria, whose flowers, too, 

 are of a dingy purple colour. G. canescens has this interesting feature, 

 its perianth is curved like a horseshoe, swollen towards the apex, and then 

 suddenly much acuminated, so as to resemble the head and beak of a bird.

" A hybrid production from the Noisette rose, fertilised by the pollen 

 of the yellow China rose, raised by Mr. W. Smith of Coombe Wood. It 

 resembles the double yellow China rose in many respects, but is of much 

 more vigorous growth. Its flowers are about the size of those of the 

 double yellow China rose, but of a deeper yellow, and, like those of the 

 Noisette rose, are disposed in clustered corymbs of from ten to twenty- 

 two :. they are highly fragrant. This new kind of rose is perfectly hardy, 

 is readily increased by cuttings, and may be regarded as a most valuable 

 addition to our already numerous list of China roses. (^British Flower- 

 Gardcn, Sept.)

An elegant plant, and highly decorative in its largish blossoms, whose 

 vexillum is scarlet with a yellow spot at its base : the wings are purplish. 

 " Its characters are more those of C. rhombeum than of any other spe- 

 cies ; but it is decidedly distinct." Raised in the nursery of Mr. Knight, 

 from seeds gathered in the south-west of New Holland, by Mi-. William 

 Baxter. (^Bot. Reg., Sept.)

An exquisitely beautiful green-house plant, raised by Mr. Knight of the 

 Exotic Nursery, Chelsea, out of the collection of seeds purchased by him 

 of Mr. Baxter, who collected them in New Holland. Botanists doubt if 

 this plant be a species of Dillwjnia; and Professor Lindley regrets that 

 the doubt " seems little likely to be cleared up; although," he remarks, 

 " it is now nearly thirty years since materials for the completion of the 

 Flora of New Holland were furnished by the liberality of the British Go- 

 vernment. It is time that this were looked to ; and much to be wished 

 that some enterprising naturalist would convert to a useful purpose the rich 

 stores of information regarding Australian vegetation procured at the 

 national expense, and now open to all enquirers, which are lying unem- 

 ployed at the British Museum. When we see the fate of the plants col- 

 lected in Flinders's expedition, and in the fatal journey up the Congo, by 

 the lamented Christian Smith, wc can scarcely wonder that a wise and 

 careful government should object to pay the expenses of scientific expedi- 

 tions." 



Legiiminosce § "Phaseolca;. Kennedy« dilatata Cun. is figured in the 

 Botanical Register for September, t. 1526., from Mr. Knight's nursery, where 

 it flowered in April last. It is a prostrate or climbing plant, beautiful in 

 its headlike racemes of blossoms, which are scarlet in their standard, yel- 

 low in their centre, and purplish in their wings. In its affinity it is stated 

 to be intermediate between K. prostrata and K. inophylla. Raised from 

 seeds collected by Mr. William Baxter, on the south-west coast of New 

 Holland. (Bot Reg., Sept.) 



iupinus mexicanus is figured in Maund's Botanic Garden for August,
