THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE. 



[Aug. 24, 







I am anxious to make a collection of Roses — in my 

 opinion the most beautiful flower in a garden ; I have 

 nine varieties, and have written to England for 20 others. 

 It requires some philosophy and patience to tax the 

 imagination while we indulge in the pleasures of antici- 

 pation, until at length we have those of fruition ; but 1 

 believe the collection of useful and ornamental trees or 

 plants in the colony is more complete than could be 

 reasonably expected in so short a time. While on this 

 subject, i may mention a curious fact I learned at labiti. 

 ome 20 years since a well-meaning person thought to 

 confer a benefit on the island by introducing the Guava. 

 It has since spread most rapidly, and is now the pest of 

 the place, as it is necessary to eradicate it whenever cul- 

 tivation is attempted ; it is, in truth, the only clearing 

 required. I will take care to make a collection of dried 

 specimens for you, as you wish, and forward them by 

 some convenient opportunity. I refer you to those 

 Gazettes containing an account of the establishment or 

 an Agricultural Association, and two articles written by 

 myself advocating its uses, to show that your suggestions 

 have been attended to, where any hope of success pre- 

 sented itself. You will be glad to learn that the harvest 

 this year has been very good ; they are now busy cutting ; 

 the weather is very fine, and there is every prospect of 



the weather is very 

 an abundant return.

North- Riding Horticultural and Floricultural Society , July 26. 



—This was the second meeting for the present season. The plants 

 in puts, cut flowers, fruits, and vegetables, were numerous and in 

 great perfection. The Prizes were awarded as follows -.—Stove 

 Plant in Pot : i, Mrs. Parkin, for Achimenes grandiflora; 2, Mr. 

 Pinkney, gr. to T. S. Walker, Esq., for Hedychium coronanum.

 Formosa elegans. Among Fruit, Mr. Graham obtained a first 

 Prize for Frontignan Grapes. 



The Norfolk and Norwich Horticultural Society .—This was 

 an excellent Show for the season. The collections of Picotees 

 were larger than on former years. A seedling exhibited by Mr. 

 H. Cooke, was said to be of first-rate quality. The petal is 

 of the Rose form, of fine substance; the crown is well up, and the 

 habit excellent. The Fuchsias were well- grown, and presented 

 a rich appearance. A Yucca gloriosa in bloom was exhibited 

 by Mr. Short, gr. to Mr. J. Str -cey. Mr. Short, gr. to H. N. 

 Burroughes, Esq., showed a seedling Dahlia of good form and 

 substance ; which, if it retains its habit, will be a valuable 

 flower. Its colour is a deep velvety dark maroon. Melons, 

 though numerous, were scarcely so fine as on former occasions. 

 Strawberries were fine in size, but they were not well flavoured. 

 From the gardens, Bracondale, were Erica Hartnelli, Irbyana, 

 viridifl -ra, ampullacea,We-tphalingia, Jasminiflora alba, reful- 

 gens, gemmiiera; Fuchsia Britannia, Paragon, Kentish Hero,

be characterised as a second species of Hindsia. It is much to be 

 regretted that these plants should have been referred to Ronde- 

 letia, from which they differ so much in appearance, and from 

 which they may be essentially distinguished by the form of the 

 corolla rather funnel-shaped than salver-shaped, without any 

 callous contraction or beard at the mouth of the tube ; by the cao- 

 sule, which (according to Chamisso and Schlechtendahl) separates 

 by the splitting of the dissepiment into two cocci, which are 

 loculicidally split, and by some other minor points. Nearly the 

 same characters distinguish them also from Sipanea, which i$ 

 quite as nearly related as Rondeletia, though very different in 

 habit. They have also been compared with Bouvardia, and in 

 some respects resemble the large white-flowered species of that 

 genus, but independently of all minor distinctions the Hindsias 

 have the ovules and probably the seeds of the tribe of Rondeletiae, 

 not of that of the Cinchonese. The Hindsia violaceae differs from 

 the better known H. longiflora, chiefly by having much larger, 

 broader, and more downy leaves, the flowers much larger and more 

 hairy, and by the calyx, of which one, two, or three divisions are 

 much larger than the rest, and more or less dilated and leaf-like 

 above the middle. Both species vary in the size of the flowers, and 

 in the shade of their colour. In the H. longiflora also, and per- 

 haps in H. violacea the stamens are entirely included in the tube 

 of the corolla in some specimens, and in others the tips of the 

 anthers protrude. In the latter case the style appears to be less 

 prominent than in the former, so that these differences may arise 

 probably from a certain degree of sexuality. For the foregoing 

 matter we are indebted to the kindness of Mr. Bentham, who agrees 

 with us in regarding the Rondeletia longiflora wrongly referred to 

 the genus in which it has been placed. This Hindsia violacea is 

 one of the finest things obtained from South Brazil. It has been 

 imported by Messrs. Veitch and Son of Exeter, who received for 

 it the large silver medal at the Horticultural Society's Garden Ex- 

 hibition in May last. It will doubtless prove a very easily culti- 

 vated greenhouse plant; and is certainly unsurpassed in beauty by 

 blue flowering shrubs.— Botanical Register. 



Akrioes virkns. Green-leaved Air Plant. (Stove Epiphyte.) 

 Orchidaceee. Gynandria Monandria.— This is a beautiful addition 

 to that set of Aerides of which A. odoratum was the first dis- 

 covered. Like its flowers, these are deliciously and very peculiarly 

 sweet-scented, and not at all inferior in size. Each sepal and 

 petal has a deep purple blotch at the end, while the remainder is 

 a delicate soft French white. The lip is speckled with crimson, 

 and bears in the middle an inflated, sanguine, serrated tongue. 

 The leaves are much alike in all these plants, but here they are 

 of a peculiarly bright green, which circumstance has si: 

 the name. It flowered in April, 1843, in the stove of Messrs. 

 Loddiges, who imported it from Java.— Botanical Register.

lUbfefos. 



Gramina Brilannica, or Representations of the British 

 Grasses, with Remarks and occasional Descriptions. 

 By J. L. Knapp, Esq. 2d Edition, 4to. Longmans. 

 The late President of the Linnsean Society called the 

 first edition of this book •* an elaborate work," and not 

 without reason. Its fault has always been its rarity — an 

 evil now remedied by the issue of a second edition. 



It is a volume of 119 coloured 4to plates of Grasses, 

 drawn with great care, and offering such excellent like- 

 nesses that a person of no botanical skill cannot fail to 

 recognise the species by their assistance. And this gives 

 Mr. Knapp's book great value, for the larger part of 

 the persons interested in the art of distinguishing 

 Grasses are country gentlemen and farmers, who know 

 nothing of Botany, and cannot use the technical descrip- 

 tions or analytical figures of Botanists. To that great 

 class such a book is invaluable. It ought, in fact, to form 

 a part of the library of every one interested in rural 

 affairs who can afford to buy it ; for there are few plants 

 so difficult to distinguish as Grasses, not any more so, 

 and none which it is more important to know correctly, 

 because of their various uses and qualities. With 

 Mr. Knapp's book before him no one can have the least 

 difficulty in making himself master of the subject. 



We must also add, that the plates are tastefully drawn 

 and carefully coloured, and the printing a beautiful 

 specimen of typography, so that the work, independently 

 of its practical value, forms a handsome drawing-room 

 volume. Indeed, we know of no book of its kind so 

 exactly what would be wished for by a lady who is 

 turning her attention to the study of this interesting 

 branch of Botany. 



Orchidece in the Collection of Conrad Loddiges £ Suns. 



12mo. 1844. 

 A nbw edition of this remarkable Catalogue has just 

 appeared. In addition to its other merits, it now in- 

 cludes references to the books in which species are 

 figured, which makes it extremely useful as a book of 

 reference. The enormous extent of Messrs. Loddiges 

 collection may be judged of when we mention that 

 the numbers of Orchidaceae cultivated by them now, 

 extend to 1916. The highest number in the last Cata- 

 logue was 1654. 



NOTICES of NEW PLANTS WHICH are EITHER 



USEFUL OR ORNAMENTAL. 



Hindsia violacea. Porcelain hiue Hindsia. (Greenhouse 

 Shrub.) Cinchonacese. Pentandna Monogyuia.— The generic 

 character is taken from this species and from the closely ai neu

Birmingham Botanic Garden.— This garden still 

 maintains its position, and although not supported with 

 that liberality which might be expected from such a 

 populous and wealthy neighbourhood, is nevertheless 

 firmly established with a slightly-increasing income— a 

 satisfactory circumstance which will be gratifying to 

 those who feel an interest in everything that has a 

 tendency to promote and extend this useful branch ol 

 natural history. Many of the shrubs and trees are begin- 

 ning todevelope their forms and specific characters; and 

 these are times, and this too a locality, when such glorious 

 objects, collected from all countries, and brought togetner 

 by great enterprise and capital, will in the end be rightly 

 appreciated and supported. The hothouses are placed on |
