334 Florkidtural and Botanical Notices 



the authority of NiUtall, is described a plant under the 

 above name, found by him in his Cahfornian researches. 

 Since then, seeds of it have been presented to the London 

 Horticultural Society, by R. B. Hinds, surgeon of H. M. 

 ship Sulphur, from which plants have been raised. It is 

 described as a straggling bush, with clusters of blue flowers. 

 As yet, it has not bloomed, but the young plants have 

 beautiful deep-green glossy leaves, which make it very at- 

 tractive. It is quite hardy in England. {Bot. Reor.) 



Gladiolus rainosns is one of the finest kinds which has 

 yet been introduced, far excelling the floribundus, both in 

 the coloring and size of the flowers. We have had a bulb 

 of it beautifully in flower, and can speak of it as a most 

 valuable addition to this fine tribe of summer flowering 

 bulbs. It grows and flowers as readily as the floribundus.

acaulis iin/K. Stemless Globeflower. A hardy herbaceous plant; growing 1 foot high ; 

 with yellow flowers ; appearing in July. A native of India ; increased by seeds or division 

 of the roots ; grown in loam and peat. Bot. Reg. 1843, t. 32. 



A curious and hardy herbaceous plant of dwarf growth, 

 Avith deep orange flowers somewhat like those of an ane- 

 mone. The leaves are digitate, palmate, laciniate, tripart- 

 ed and pinnatified, and the flowers appear solitary, on 

 short peduncles. It has the appearance of a little Eran- 

 thus. It is readily increased by seeds or division of the 

 root, and grows freely in sandy loam and peat, in a rather 

 damp situation. It was raised from seeds received from 

 the East India Company. {Bot. Reg.., June.)

 scarlet flowers ; appeariiij all summer; a hyl)ri<l variety ; increased by cuttings ; grown in

One of the most splendid hybrids of the many varieties 

 which have been produced from seed the last two years. 

 Sometime since (Vol. VIII. p. 139,) we noticed the F. cor- 

 difolia. Dr. Lindley advised a trial of that species with 

 the globosa, for raising hybrids, and Messrs. Lucombe, 

 Pince & Co., following his advice, have produced the fine 

 variety now described. It is a seedling between F. cordi- 

 folia and F. globosa : the former the female, and the latter 

 the male, parent. To the fine large flowers of the former
