Camerom-fulgens (Garden hybrid.) Bot. Reg., 1844, t. 28. 



A beautiful garden variety raised between H. Cameroni 

 and H. fulgens. The color is a deep brilliant scarlet crim- 

 son, with dark spots in the eye. Like the parents, it is a 

 hot-house plant, flowering freely in winter, or if kept in the 

 greenhouse, blooming during the summer. It is a most de- 

 sirable hybrid. {Bot. Reg., May.)

 m&s])\\o\Aes Huml). Medlar- lilie Lindley«. An evergreen shrub; growing 10 feet high; 

 with wliite flowers; appearing from July to Se(>tember ; a native of Mexico ; increased 

 by grafting; cultivated in any good soil. Bot. Reg., 1844, t. 27. 



An evergreen shrub, not quite hardy in the climate of 

 England, v/ith white flowers, as sweet scented as the haw- 

 thorn. It belongs to a peculiar group of rosaceous plants, 

 remarkable for their capsular fruit and winged seeds, — the 

 latter, a circumstance not hitherto observed in other plants 

 of this order. In our climate it would probably require the 

 protection of the greenhouse, and would do for placing out 

 in summer on the lawn, where its hawthorn scented flow- 

 ers would make it a desirable acquisition. It is increased 

 by grafting on the common thorn. {Bot. Reg.. May.)
