 himself, in a subsequent publication, gives the preference to De Theis's deriva-

 to the splitting of the fruit." ( Bot. Mag., Oct.)

This plant is evidently a species of Clianthus, from which it differs princi- 

 pally in the colour of its flowers, which are pink instead of scarlet. It grows 

 best in a rich strong soil, in the free ground, and only requires protection from 

 frost. It is easily propagated by cuttings. {Bot. Reg., Sept.)

This is an evergreen plant, about 2 ft. high, loaded with rich purple flowers, 

 which it retains during the whole of the months of March and April, when 

 gay-flowering plants in pots are particularly desirable. {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., 

 June.)

" There appears to be little difference between this and M. floribunda, except 



in the very short lucid retuse leaves, deeper flowers, and more hairy calyxes 



and branches of the latter, which is a Swan River shrub of greater beauty 



than this." {Bof. Reg., Oct.)

This very beautiful species is nearly allied to Z. tricolor, but " it is readily 

 distinguished by having stronger stems, which are clothed with brown hairs to 

 their summits ; shorter, rounder, thicker, and more prominently nerved leaves, 

 the stalks of which are also covered with brown pubescence ; a prominent 

 dark-velvety down on the calyxes, and denser heads of flowers." It grows 

 best in loamy soil, and should have abundance of pot room. It looks best 

 trained round a cylindrical trellis. {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., Aug.)

A very splendid species, nearly allied to several of the other kinds imported 



from the East, which Dr. Lindley thinks "may be all one and the same thing, 



modified by soil and situation," It is quite hardy, and flowers all the summer.

A hybrid rose of " a very vigorous habit, with thick, glossy, dark green 

 foliage, and producing a profusion of flowers." The petals are more thick and 

 fleshy than in roses in genei-al ; and the flower, which is very large, is cream- 

 coloured, deepening into a pale yellow in the centre. The whole stock of 

 this rose is in the nursery of Lucombe, Pince, and Co., Exeter. {Paxt. Mag.
