Of New Plants. 263 



Floricultitral and Botanical Notices. — Mr. Low, Jr., the 

 collector, whose departure for Java we announced some 

 time since, was safe at Sarawak in Borneo, on the 24th of 

 January ; he had only been there three or four days, was in 

 good health, and had seen some most interesting plants. If 

 he succeeds in examining the Flora of this island, he will 

 have made a very important contribution to botanical knowl- 

 edge. {Gard. Chron.) 



Gloxinisi tubijibra. — This most beautiful species is now 

 finely in flower in our collection. Its spikes of pure white 

 tubular flowers, somewhat resembling a white petunia, are 

 highly fragrant, and perfume the house with their odor. Its 

 habit is more like an achimenes than the ordinary gloxinias ; 

 it attains the height of two feet, with a neat and pretty habit. 

 It is decidedly a great acquisition. 



Hindsia, lotigijldra alba. — This is a new variety of the 

 hindsia, with white flowers, said to be extremely beautiful. 

 " Its flowers are trumpet-shaped, 2 inches long, expanded at 

 the tip, pure white in color, exceedingly fine in odor, and pro- 

 duced in large and elegantly diverging racemes of 15 to 25 

 blossoms each upon plants not exceeding sixteen inches in 

 height. Its clearness of color, neatness of habit, and exqui- 

 site fragrance, render it far superior to any species of Jasmine 

 known." Such is the description of the plant, a fine speci- 

 men of which was exhibited at a late meeting of the London 

 Hort. Society, and a certificate awarded for it. 



Buddlea. Lindleykna. — This new plant is stated to be a 

 native of Chusan, where it was found by Mr. Fortune grow- 

 ing in ravines and on banks, in company with Wistaria Con- 

 sequawa ; it is said to form a fine shrub, five or six feet in 

 height, with clusters of deep violet flowers, probably as large 

 as the Persian lilac. From its locality it is hoped that it will 

 prove equally as hardy as the Wistaria ; if so, it will be a 

 most valuable addition.
