Floricultural and Botanical Notices. Mr. Fortune in 

 Chijia. — Letters have recently been received by the Horti- 

 cultural Society from Mr. Fortune, which are dated in June 

 from Shanghae ; from which it appears that his expedition is 

 likely to be attended with good results. He has already col- 

 lected many fine things, among which were azaleas, tree- 

 pasonies, several handsome shrubs, and a beautiful, hardy, 

 evergreen tree, supposed to be Cryptomeria japonica. The 

 Chinese were obliging and accessible, and he had been in 

 the Green Tea country about Ningpo, in the midst of the 

 gathering season. — Gardeners'' Chronicle. 



Mr. Hartweg, is about to proceed to California, as collector 

 for the London Horticultural Society. His researches in that 

 rich country will no doubt add many rich plants to our gar- 

 dens. Mr. Lowe, Jr., of the Clapton Nursery, near London, 

 has undertaken a voyage to Borneo and Java, and if possible 

 the Coast of Siam, Celebes and New Guinea. He will un- 

 doubtedly find some superb plants in this tour.
