tion, growing freely in a rich loamy soil, mixed with bits of 

 charcoal instead of sand : it is increased by cuttings, and 

 requires to be grown in a warm greenhouse well exposed 

 to the light. 



The C. crenatus must at once appear, to the amateur of 

 this tribe, a most desirable acquisition ; not only on account 

 of its own real beauty, but for its invaluable character as a 

 parent of numerous hybrids. " Let us," says Dr. Lindley, 

 "only imagine a cross between it and C. speciosissimus or 

 Ackermanii" ! It received the highest medal at the May 

 exhibition of the London Horticultural Society, and its in- 

 troduction to our own collections must be looked for with 

 much interest. (^Bot. Reg., June.)

In the climate of Britain, "a hardy, middle sized shrub, 

 much like the common Fly Honeysuckle, thriving in any 

 good garden soil, and blooming freely in May and June." 

 The foliage is ovate, cordate, pubescent; and the flowers, 

 which are orange and yellow, appear in pairs at the axils 

 of the leaves. It was raised from seeds received from Dr. 

 Royle, from the north of India, and flowered in the garden 

 of the London Horticultural Society, where the drawing 

 was made. If hardy in our climate it will prove a desira- 

 ble acquisition. 



Another Indian species of this genus, " very distinct from 

 any thing hitherto described," has also been raised. It is 

 a slender plant, witli deep purple branches, quite smooth 

 leaves, and very long stalked pale yellow flowers, stained 

 with purple. It is called L. (isica) discolor. (^Bot. Reg.., 

 June.)
