CAME'LLM. 



Since our last, several new varieties have been in flower, in the 

 vicinity. Among others, rosseflora and Weimaria, in Mr. Sweet- 

 ser's collection. The latter is a single white flower, of great beau- 

 ty ; the stamens are very numerous, and spread out much in the 

 style of those of a cereus. The plant was very small, and the 

 flower consequently weak. C. reticulata has been in full bloom 

 both at Mr. Wilder's and in our collection. Park's rose stripe has 

 also been in flower ; its fragrance is very perceptible ; and on this 

 account alone, aside from its beauty, which is considerably attract- 

 ive, it should be in every collection. We have now in bloom con- 

 cinna ; it is somewhat like eximia of the English collections. C. 

 j. corallina, of some French catalogues, seems to be synonymous 

 with florida of the English.

OCHUA'NTHE Lindl. 

 argiita Lindl. A green-house plant; with white flowers ; a native of China. Bot. Reg., t. 1819. 



A shrub introduced from China to the Horticultural Society's 

 garden at Chiswick, where it flowered as long ago as 1826. The 

 plant died a short time afterwards, and has never been seen since. 

 A drawing was taken at the time, and has been kept ever since, 

 with the hope, that it might be again discovered, and accurately 

 described by the fruit. Dr. Lindley states that he was unable even 

 to obtain " an approximation to its true station in the system." It 

 is a pretty plant, from the representation of the plate, but as it is 

 lost to England, and may be a long time before it is again introdu- 

 ced, a particular description will not be of much interest. (^Bot. 

 Reg., Dec.) 



Rosacea. 



B>UBUS 

 nutkSinus De Cand. Nutka Bramble. A hardy shrub ; flowers white; appearing in the summer; 

 propagated like the other species ; a native of North-west America. Bot. Mag., t. 3453. 



"A large flowered, handsome " species, " nearly allied to the 

 R. odoratus, or flowering raspberry." The leaves are large, cordate, 

 five-lobed, doubly serrate, and copiously reticulated with veins. 

 The flowers large and white, with numerous stamens and yellow 

 anthers. It was discovered by A. Menzies, Esq., during the voyage 

 of Captain Vancouver, at Queen Charlotte's Sound, in lat. 51° on 

 the North-West Coast ; since by Mr. Douglas, extending from 43° in 

 North California, to 52° at Nootka Sound. He also found it ex- 

 tending to the interior to the head of the Columbia river. By Mr. 

 Drummond it was detected on the eastern declivity of the Rocky 

 mountains, in lat 52°. (Bot. Mag., Dec.)
