A small tree, a native of the Organ Mountains in Brazil, closely resembling 

 Abutilon picta, which is also called »S'ida by Sir W. J. Hooker. The present 

 species requires a stove in Britain. {Bot. Mag., Sept.)

lasi&ndra Graham downy-staraened £ A or li my Pk Mexico 1840. D co Bot. mag. 



This very pretty species of O'xalis " approaches most nearly to O. deca- 

 phylla, or perhaps O. Hernandesii ; it differs from these, however, in the 

 entire leaflets, the number and appearance of the hairs on their surface, the 

 number of the flowers in the umbel, their colour, the spotting at the apex of 

 the sepals, and in the unequal stamens." Mr. J. M'Nab saw it in Berlin, cul- 

 tivated as an edging to the walks ; and it is there not above 9 in. high, though 

 it reached 1 ft. 6 in. in Edinburgh. {Bot. Mag., Sept.)

This plant, Dr. Lindley says, though called B. /edifolia in the nurseries, 

 " has no resemblance to the true B. ledifolia ; an old greenhouse shrub, with 

 simple leaves, figured years ago in Ventenat's Plants of Malmaison, under the 

 name of Lasiopetalum ledifolium." The present species is a pretty little 

 shrub, with an abundance of dark pink or rose-coloured flowers. It " requires 

 nearly the same treatment as the smaller kinds of Diosma; and, like most 

 hard-wooded plants, should have a light sandy soil, which is rather poor." {Bot. 

 Reg,, Sept. ; and Paxt. Mag. of Bot., July.)

This species was received under the name of the Crimson Callistachys, but 

 its blossoms are too few and small to warrant the expectations raised of its 

 beauty. It flowers in October. {Bot. Mag., July.)

A procumbent shrub, with long, slender, straggling branches, and a profusion 

 of yellow flowers. {Bot. Mag., ^e^t.) Dr. Lindley thinks this species " is too 

 near B. cinerea." {Bot. Reg., Oct.)

" A pretty little shrub," raised from Swan River seeds, imported by Captain 

 Mangles. " It has an erect habit, but its branches are slender and weak, and 

 covered with leaves in a two-ranked manner ; the latter are ovate, obtuse, not 

 at all hard, and scarcely half the length of the capillary flower-stalks. The 

 flowers are rather large for the size of the plant, and showy." {Bot. Reg., Oct.)

A Swan River twining shrub, with long drooping racemes of orange-coloured 

 flowers. It produces seeds in abundance, and cuttings strike readily in silver 

 sand. It is, however, very liable to be attacked by the red spider. {Bot. 

 Reg., Aug.) In the Bot. Mag. the following observations are made on the 

 derivation of the word Chorozema. " De Theis derives this word from 

 chorizo, to separate ; because the fruit is distinctly separated into two equal 

 parts. If Smitli's derivation be correct, in the ninth volume of the Transac-
