12S. Tkevira\\a ca'ndida Due. White flowered Trevi- 

 KA^NA. (Gcsnc7-ice3c.) Guatemala, 

 Achiraenes Candida, Lindl. in Jour. Hort. Soc. 



A greeiilmuse plant ; growing a foot liU'h ; with wliite flowers; appearing nil summer; culii- 

 vated in coarse peat and leaf-iiionld ; increased by oflnets. Flore des Serres, 1841), pi. 4^0. 



A very pretty species, similar in all respects to the old 

 and well known T. coccinea, (frequently called Achimenes 

 coccinea,) except in the color of its flowers, which are 

 white. It forms a neat contrast with the coccinea, and is 

 well worthy a place in every collection of these fine summer 

 flowering plants. {Flore des Serres, December.) 



129. Shute^ria bi'color Chois. Two-colored Shuteria. 



{Convolvnlacea\) China. 



A greenhouse climber; growing six f.'ct high ; with yellowish and violet (lowers ; appearing in 

 summer ; cultivated in li^ht rich soil ; increased by cuttings and seeds. Flore des Serres, 1SI9, 

 pi. 421. 



A new and handsome climbing plant, of the habit of the 

 Calystegia, growing as rapidly and displaying its flowers, 

 which are of a true narikeen color, with a violet tube, all 

 summer. It was raised from seeds received from the vicinity 

 of Canton, and it may prove as hardy as the Calystegia. 



Its cultivation is simple. In April the young plants com- 

 mence .growing, and from each axil of the leaf is emitted a 

 solitary flower ; these are succeeded by others, without inter- 

 ruption, for three months, during which period the "aspect 

 of the plant is most graceful." In winter it may be kept in 

 a cool greenhouse. The color of the blossoms render it a 

 very interesting object, contrasting prettily with the Ipomaas 

 and other climbers. [Flore des Serres, December.)

LADENiA. {\pocynacem.) Rio Janeiro.

A beautiful plant, with an erect l;i9.bit and large handsome 

 foliage, producing at the axils of the leaves, near the ends of 

 the shoots, numerous pendent clusters of flowers. The tube 

 is of a chamois yellow, the limb of a bright rosy salmon.
