truss ; but the most distinct is the paniculatum, producing 

 its flowers in a different style from all the others, as its name 

 indicates ; the truss being branched more, with strong side 

 stems, so as to form a large, nearly globular truss, remarkably 

 strong and fine ; the color is dark, and of good size. It is 

 the best of the Heliotropes. 



New Geraniums. — The French amateurs are remarkably 

 successful in the production of new seedlings of some classes 

 of flowers. For years the old Scarlet Geraniums have been 

 grown in England, without showing any remarkable or dis- 

 tinct new colors, being chiefly various shades of scarlet or 

 pink : the French, however, particularly M. Domage, have 

 raised some quite dissimilar to any previously seen. Of those 

 we noticed the last season, Rubens and Chas. Domage, the 

 former is a superb rosy crimson, and the latter a salmon pink 

 of exquisite shade : since then we have had two others in 

 bloom, called Nemesis and Consuello : Consuello is a rosy scar- 

 let, with a most extraordinary large and globular truss ; Nem- 

 esis, a most delicate shade of pink, with a very large, light 

 centre, and immense truss. The habit of both is dwarf, 

 compact and handsome. 



Alonsoa Warsewiczii. — A very pretty little annual or 

 biennial, with long spikes of bright, orange scarlet flowers, 

 suitable for bedding out in summer, where it blossoms abun- 

 dantly until autumn. Its habit is rather slender, and the 

 foliage small and neat. It is a fine acquisition to the flower 

 garden. 



313. Lapargeria rosea var. albiflora. White-Flow- 

 ered Lapargeria. (Simlaceae.) Chili. 



A greenhouse plant ; growing three orfourfeethigh; with white flowers; appearing in summer; 

 increased by cuttings ; grown in leaf mould and sand. Bot. Mag.i 1856| pi. 4S92. 



The Lapargeria rosea, the parent of this variety, is a beau- 

 tiful Chilian plant of a slightly twining habit, producing clus- 

 ters of large, bell-shaped, almost scarlet flowers — described in 

 a previous volume. It is very showy and well worthy of 

 introduction. The present variety is just like the parent, 

 except in the color of the flowers, which is white, approach-
