CAMELLU. 



In the Floricultural Cabinet for September, another of the 

 new kinds, raised at the seat of M. P. Campbell, in Lanca- 

 shire, is figured. It much resembles, according to the col- 

 ored plate, C. eclipsis, but the stripes are much darker and 

 more distinct, running straight through the centre of nearly 

 every petal. We have seen drawings of fine flake carnations 

 which were not more regularly marked than this sort. 



C. japonica elegans is now in flower at Hawthorn Grove, 

 Dorchester. It is truly a most superb variety ; we scarcely 

 know of a pink flower of any kind in which the tint is so 

 pure, deep, rich and lively. With the exception of a blos- 

 som which opened in our collection last spring, supposed 

 elegans, this is the first that has flowered here. C. japonica 

 Gilesu is a new variety Mr. Wilder has in his collection ; 

 the plant is yet very small. C. japonica eximia of the 

 French and English have a great similarity of appearance in 

 foliage ; that of the former has flowered ; but it does not re- 

 semble the figure in Chandler & Booth's Illustrations. It is a 

 rose color, with a warratah centre. 



Chorozema Henchmanii is figured in Paxton's Magazine 

 of Botany for September. It is a splendid species ; it was 

 introduced into England in 1824. We wish plants of this 

 genus were oftener met with in green-houses than they are 

 at present.

 coccinea L. Large flowered American White Thorn. A hardy plant, growing several feet 

 high ; flowers white ; appearing in May. A native of North America. Bot. Mag., t. 3432. 



This "extremely beautiful plant," Dr. Hooker says, "is 

 assuredly one of the greatest ornaments to our shrubberies, 

 loaded, as it is in the month of May, with its large clusters 

 of white, but scarcely fragrant blossoms." It is well known 

 in our gardens for its highly ornamental character. [Bot. 

 Mag. Sept.) 



LXXVII. Leguinindse(B. 



CA SSIA 

 glanduldsa L. Glandnlar-leaved Cassia. A stove shrub, growing four feet high ; flowers yel- 

 low, appearing nearly all the year. A native of Trinidad. Tropagated by seeds. Bot. 

 Mag., t. 3455. 



This is a valuable species ; it is one of the few which re- 

 quire the heat of the stove to produce its blossoms, which it 

 does in such situations " copiously for at least nine months 

 out of the twelve." The branches are somewhat straggling 

 and pendent, thus presenting the flowers to view under the 

 highly graceful foliage. A desirable species, introduced 

 from Trinidad. (Bot. Mag., Sept.)
