the deep red purple velvety hairs, the edge being free from 

 hairs." It grows less than a foot high, and is a singularly 

 beautiful species. It will undoubtedly succeed admirably in 

 our climate as a summer greenhouse plant. (Bot. Mag.,

205. Aquile^gia Kanaorie'nsis Jacqem. Kanaor Colum- 



bine. {RununculacecB.) Kanaor. 



A hardy herbaceous plant ; growing a foot high ; with pale blue flowers ; appearing in summer ; 

 increased by seeds and division of the roots ; grown in any good soil. Bot. Mag., 1853, pi. 4693. 



A species very much resembling the common A. vulgaris, 

 differing apparently only in the spurs, which are erect, and 

 not incurved. The whole plant has a glaucous hue, and 

 does not attain a greater height than twelve to fifteen inches.

(Caprifoliacese.) China. 



a half hardy or hardy shrub ; gro\ving two feet high ; with pink flowers ; appearing in June ; 

 increased by cuttings and layers ; grown in any good soil. Bot. Mag., 1853, pi. 4694. 



A very pretty shrub, much resembling the Weigelm rosea, 

 but more profuse in its bloom. In England it has proved 

 perfectly hardy, and, as it was found by Mr. Fortime in the 

 north of China, in the same locality as the Weigeh'a and 

 Forsythm, no doubt it will be hardy with us ; if so, it will 

 be a great acquisition. It forms a spreading, somewhat de- 

 cumbent shrub, with broad, lanceolate, subcoriaceous, dark 

 green perennial leaves. Flowers white, tinged with blush.

207. Gaulthe^ria ferruginea Cham et Schlecht. Rusty 



Gaultheria. (Ericaceae.) Brazil. 



A greenhouse plant -, growing two feet high ; with rose colored flowers ; appearing 'in June ; 

 increased by cuttings ; grown in heath soil. Bot. Mag., 1853, pi. 4697. 



" A truly handsome plant," with terminal racemes of beau- 

 tiful heath-like flowers of a deep rose color. The leaves are 

 small, and dark green. It was raised from seeds received 

 from the Organ mountains, and is a very fine species, well 

 worthy of a place in every collection of choice plants. ( Bot. 

 Mag., Feb.)
