‘his plant was imported by Mr. King’s Road, 
Knight, of the Kin, 
or Hope and Marquis of Lothian, Lilacs 1, Mr M, Lithgow, 
chelate, from some part of Bolivia, or Upper Peru, about four 
years since, having been gathered eee by. Mr. Kelly, a a collector 
to Mr. Knight. It flowered at the Exotic Nursery, Chelsea, in 
the summer of 1839 or 1840, but as the plants ceased blooming 
rather suddenly, and as it not again blossomed till June last, 
we reserved our description till it should flower more perfectly. 
That point having now been gained, we can publish it with 
greater confidence, as depicting a beautiful and meritorious 
plant. While it certainly does resemble . edule in the flowers, 
ti is a very different species in its habitude. The stems are more 
numerons, very much stronger, grow with greater erectness, 
have to all appearance nothiog of the twining character, and 
bear their leaves far more densely. The latter, too, have broader 
leaflets, which are less loosely and more regularly dispo: es nie 
are glaucous on the upper surface. By all these charact, 
it is most easily distinguished; and the flowers being ering 
are, from the greater closeness of the leaves, much less scattered. 
‘They are of a deep yellow or orange colour, with a rather long 
spur to the calyx. yok the rapid manner in which the fiowers 
of Mr. Knight’s specimens went off the firstyear, and the disin- 
cure tien to bloom the plants have since evinced, it would seem 
hy-flowering species. Still, these things are probably to 
be aecbun ted toe by the nature of the plant, and the treatment it 
had received. a be a strong-growing species, the partial 
exposure cf the tubers, as in other Tropeolums, pay have 
exhausted the ei ote too much, and thus deprived them of 
uvable to fulfil their regular 
functions, rate, this is the view we take of 
and should advise that the tubers of the plant be always placed 
beneath the surface of the soil. If planted to the depth of an 
inch, the specimens will no doubt be improved. This is the chief 
feature demanding notice in the culture of the species; as itmay 
otherwise be managed like te rest of the genus, only it does not 
need so much training, having a more erect mode of growth. It 
is increased by cuttings oe the young shoots, before they have 
advanced to a flowering state; and if the principal stem of a 
plant be cut down while young, a number of others will sprout 
up from the tuber, ane yield an abundance of cuttings.—Paaton’s

Mr. Fortune’s Mission to China.— —-The Fellows of the 
aes Society will be pleased to learn that this 
sion is proceeding satisfactorily. Mr. Fortune reached 
Maca about the 9th of July, but had established himself 
for the present at Hong Kong. Everybody to whom he 
ty letters received him with the greatest good-will. 
nd ee had very liberally given him the 
Colonel Malcolm had most 
the mountain: 
beautiful fringed white Hoeere, was, common; and Mr. 
Fortune also met with a small yellow-flowered Czlogyne, 
and Arundina chinensis. In the gardens he found a white 
Glycine, not so handsome as G. sinensis, but rather pretty, 
and a charming Mussenda, with ‘large white bracts and 
sweet-scented yellow flowers. The Lagerstroemias were most 
beautiful, flowering as freely as our Hawthora, even on small 
plants. Above all things it is interesting to know that 
the difficulty of intercourse ‘with the Chinese is rapidly 
wearing off. Mr. Fortune had hired boats, and landed, 
not only on the small islands near Macao, but also on the 
main land of Couloon, Opposite Hong Kong, and had
