whose pedicels are red." It is a native of the Duphla hills 

 in Eastern India, on trees, at an elevation of 4 to 5000 feet 

 above the sea-level, growing along with Rhododendron Nut- 

 talhV, where it was found by Mr. Booth and sent to Mr. Nut- 

 tall at his fine place at Rainhill. It has an erica-like flower, 

 bright yellow, in dense racemes at the ends of the shoots, 

 and is a fine addition to hardy greenhouse plants. {Bot. 

 Mag., April.) 



323. CORR^^A CARDINA^LIS MubU. ScARLET-FLOWERED 



CoRR^A. (Diosmea3.) Australia. 



A greenhouse shrub; growins two fe^t high; with scarlet flowers; appearing in March; 

 increiised by cuttings ; grown in leaf mould, peat and sand. Bot. Mag., 185B, pi. 4ai2. 



The Corrasas are all pretty plants, but a brilliancy of color- 

 ing has been wanting to render them favorites. In the 

 present species all this has been obtained. The flowers are 

 of the deepest scarlet, the segments or lobes of the limb 

 only yellow ; very brilliant, and an entire new feature in 

 this group. The foliage is small and narrow, but the slender 

 branches bear drooping flowers one inch and a quarter long, 

 with the filaments of the stamens extending nearly half an 

 inch beyond the corolla. It is entirely distinct from any 

 hitherto published species; and as beautiful as it is distinct. 

 It was raised from seed by Messrs. Veitch, received from 

 Australia, and has flowered finely in their extensive collec- 

 tion. It is a great accession to our greenhouse collections, 

 and should find a place in all of them. {Bot. Mag., April.) 



324. Saxifraga cilia^ta Royle. Fringed Saxifrage. 



(Saxifrageee.) Northern India. 



A half hardy perennial; growing one foot high; with white flowers; appearing in spring; in- 

 creased by division of the roots; grown in any good soil. Bot. Mag. 1S56, pi. 4915. 



A very pretty species of Saxifrage, nearly allied to S. ugu- 

 lata, if anything more than a variety of it, inhabiting the same 

 mountain range of the Himalaya. In England it is consid- 

 ered hardy, though its flowering season, is so early that the 

 protection of a cool frame is necessary for the full development 

 of its blossoms. The leaves are elliptical, and beautifully cil- 

 iated on the edge. {Bot. Mag., May.)
