curious. " We have named it in compliment to our respected friend, 

 Mr. William Anderson, to whom we are obliged for the opportunity of 

 making drawings of many rare species, which we have not seen in any 

 other collection." — Cistus cymosus, a very handsome, small, bushy shrub, 

 with broadly ovate leaves and middle-sized lively red flowers. From the 

 Levant, and to be kept in a frame. — Helianthemum confusum. Suffrutescent 

 and procumbent, short narrow leaves, delicate white flowers, and of the 

 easiest culture. — H. /^yssopifolium var. crocatum. Suffrutescent and much 

 branched, short oblong leaves, and rather large saffron yellow flowers. A 

 very handsome variety, and a delightful plant for ornamenting rockwork. 

 From the border of Cistineae in the Clapton nursery. " We have this winter 

 tried a great many species of Cistus in various situations in the open ground, 

 and have found them succeed best, and suffer the least from frost, in a 

 border with a north-west aspect. Scarcely any of them were injured in 

 the least, though several were of the tenderer sorts, and they had not 

 the least covering or protection. We attribute this to their being in a more 

 dormant state, and their wood, therefore, more hardened to withstand the 

 frost; as those in a southern aspect, though partially covered, were hurt 

 much worse, which we account for by their being more in a growing state.
