CALCEOLARIA. 



In Paxton's Magazine of Botany for November, is figured 

 C. corymbosa var. Jupiter. It is one of the splendid kinds 

 raised by the Messrs. Young, of the Epsom Nursery ; and 

 should be in every collection of plants. But as this tribe is 

 so difficult to import, Ave fear it will be long before Ave shall 

 be gratified with a display of the most rare and beautiful 

 hybrids. This variety is herbaceous. The corollas are 

 deep broAvn, inclining to crimson, Avith a yellow border.

 Hooker and Nierembergm intermedia Graham and D. Don.

 1832. The foliage of the plant is very graceful, and the 

 floAvers, Avhich resemble in shape P. violacea, though small- 

 er, are of a rich crimson purple, Avith an orange colored 

 centre. It is a profuse floAverer, and a valuable addition. We 

 received seeds for this species last year, but they proved 

 only a common species of Nicotiana.
