beautiful than fulgens and corymbifldra, is a very striking 

 plant, its habit being better than either. The leaves are 

 broad, and deep green, whilst the stems are red, and 

 the pendulous flowers are fully two inches long, produced 

 singly, with the tube scarlet and the tip of the calyx and pet- 

 als greenish yellow." It will probably be a good species for 

 crossing. (jB. R, C, No. 117, 1841.) 



Fuchsia corymbifldra, and F. Standishu, both fine kinds, 

 we lately saw in flower in Mr. Buist's collection, in Philadel- 

 phia. Each of them should be found in every good collec- 

 tion. 



F. fulgens does finely, turned out into the open ground, 

 where it displays flowers in greater profusion, and to better 

 advantage.

rOTENTI'LLA 



insignis Rvyle Specious Cinquefoil. A hardy perennial, growing two feet high; with 

 yellow flowers, appearing from June to September; a native of East India; propagated 

 from seeds or division of the roots. Bot. Reg., 1841. 37. 



A large and showy species of the potentilla, the seeds of 

 which were received by the London Horticultural Society, 

 from the directors of the East India Co. The flowers are 

 yellow, of good size, and the habit of the plant erect. It 

 requires the same treatment as the common P. atrosanguinea. 

 Dr. Lindley thinks it "may be the means of producing some 

 hybrids with either P. atrosanguinea or P. nepalensis," which 

 he expects, "will some day rival the hybrid calceolarias, now 

 so common." {Bot. Reg., July.) 



PHILADE'LPHUS 



mexicdnus Hartwig 



"A new hardy shrub, sent from Mexico." Flowers when 

 a foot high; grows upright, with slender branches. "The 

 flowers, which are large, and cream-colored,, are terminal, 

 solitary, and delightfully fragrant." From its dwarf habit, it 

 will probably force well. {B. R. C, No. 118. 1841.)

CnORO'ZEMA 



spcctcibilo Lind. Showy cliorozema. A grocn-house twiner; growing six or eight foot 

 high; with orango colored flowers; appearing in winter; it grows freely from seed, and 

 thrives in peat and leaf mould, with loam and sand. Bot. Ileg., 1841. 45. 



All the chorozemas are pretty plants, particularly C. 

 Henchmanii. The present subject is one of great beauty, 

 "in consequence of its long drooping clusters of orange col-
