Botanical and Floricultural Intelligence. New Botanical 

 work by Prof. Gray. — We learn that Prof. Gray is about to 

 publish the Genera of the U?iited States Flora illustrated. It 

 will form a large octavo work with two pages of letter press 

 to each genus, and the descriptions in English. The draw- 

 ings will embrace analyses of all the parts of the flower and 

 fruit, made under the microscope, and the engravings will be 

 executed upon stone. The work will appear in entire vol- 

 umes of about 100 plates each and 200 pages of text, all 

 arranged according to the Natural System, as in Torrey and 

 Gray's Flora. When complete, it will form 8 or 10 volumes. 

 Two volumes will appear each year until the whole is fin- 

 ished. The price to subscribers will be $6 per volume.

 clusters. It is of dwarf habit and a most abundant bloomer. 

 At a late exhibition of the London Horticultural Society, it 

 was awarded the large silver medal. 



Cuphea cordata. — A new and beautiful greenhouse, also

 profuse bloomer, with crimson panicles, of from 6 to 8 inches
