tractive only when in bloom. H. bella, on the contrary, has 

 a shrubby habit, and deep green foliage, and even when out 

 of flower it must be a neat plant. It requires a warmer sit- 

 uation than the Hoya carnosa, and a light soil, composed of 

 leaf mould, peat, and sand. (Flore des Serves, October.)

" A beautiful carriage, ample foliage, and large rose colored 

 flowers distinguish this plant, and recommend its addition to 

 all choice collections." It is of easy cultivation. Turn the 

 plants out into the open ground, in a good soil, in June, pot 

 them in September, and place in a warm greenhouse, where 

 they will bloom all the spring. (Flore des Serres, October.)

An elegant greenhouse clematis, with the habit of C. 

 smilacifolia, growing very rapidly, with dull green, deeply 

 cut foliage, and clothed with numerous axillary clusters of 

 very large pure white flowers, (measuring three inches in 

 diameter) having long bright yellow stamens. It was raised 

 from seeds, received at Kew, and flowered in 1849, in the 

 royal botanic garden. It is a splendid acquisition to our 

 limited number of handsome climbing greenhouse plants.

(Balsaminaccce.) Ceylon. 



A greenhouse climber ; growing six leet high; with yellow (lowers; cultivated in loam and 

 leaf mould ; increased by cuttings. Flore des Serres. 1648. Pl. 403. 



A curious and ornamental species of the balsamine, with a 

 running habit, very small foliage, and exceedingly large yel- 

 low flowers, shaded with orange. It may be treated in the 

 same manner as the common garden balsams : the plants 

 should be preserved over winter in the greenhouse, and 

 early in June turned out into a good rich soil in the border.
