592 GARDEN PLANTS. PART II. 



of the hills of India ; two or three plants in pots are met with in 

 the Calcutta Botanical Gardens that have not yet flowered there ; 

 flowers described as being "of a pale-buff colour, and stalkless." 



4. L. sempervirens TRUMPET HONEYSUCKLE. A very Beau- 

 tiful plant when in blossom with its scarlet scentless flowers : a 

 common ornament of English gardens ; set down by Dr. Voigt in 

 his Catalogue as existing and blooming here. I have never met 

 with or heard of it ; neither have I the two following, likewise 

 mentioned by him : 5. L. macrantha. Native of Nepal. 6. L. 

 Leschenaultii. Native of the Nilgherries. 



7. L. reticulata. Native of Yeddo, a twining plant, orna- 

 mental for its foliage of small oval leaves of a deep-green colour, 

 beautifully netted with cream-coloured reticulations. In Mr. 

 Grote's garden at Alipore I saw a fine specimen grown in a pot, 

 which had become quite a small shrub. I learnt that it sheds 

 its leaves during the Cold season. 



Abelia. 



A. triflora. Native of the Himalayas ; a scandent shrub ; bears 

 in great profusion dense ball-like heads of small white, veiy 

 fragrant flowers. Introduced into the Botanical Gardens, but I 

 know not with what success. 



Vibernum. 



1. V. dilatatum. Described by Mr. Fortune as " a fine new 

 Gueldre's Kose ;" and 2. V. macrocephalum, introduced by him, 

 some years ago from China into the Gardens of the Agri-Hor- 

 ticultural Society ; both perished, seemingly unsuited to the 

 climate.
