Art. I. List of Seeds received by the Public Garden, from 

 the Botanical Garden at Trieste. Communicaled by J. 

 E, Teschemacher. 



I BEG leave to hand you a list of between three and four hun- 

 dred kinds of seeds I have received from the Botanical Garden 

 at Trieste, and have sown in the Public Garden: most of them 

 are forms of vegetable life as yet unknown here in a living 

 state, and although many of them are perhaps destitute of 

 beauty, they are all of much interest to the botanist. I think, 

 by occasionally inserting papers on botanical subjects, as you 

 have lately done, your Magazine is likely to secure a wider 

 range of interest than if strictly confined to horticultural ob- 

 jects. Those marked with a star have already appeared 

 above ground. Persons accustomed to sow large numbers of 

 botanical seeds, are aware that from many circumstances of 

 soil, climate, too much moisture, or the want of it, a large 

 proportion of what is sown usually fails; already as many of 

 this parcel as I expected have succeeded, but I think several 

 more will still come up. I shall keep a regular account of 

 them as they come into flower, and if there are any which 

 either from their curiosity or beauty m.ay be considered orna- 

 ments to the gardens in this vicinity, I shall be happy to distri- 

 bute seeds of them. Yours truly, J. E. T.
