the most beautiful of all the Ixoras in bur gardens. Grows 

 freely, with perfectly good foliage, and abundance of fine 

 clusters of pink flowers. From hilly tracts on the borders of 

 Bengal, in 1824, by the East India Company. Cuttings under 

 a glass in a warm frame ; soil for the plants, light sandy loam 

 and peat. — Ixbra undulata. A branched shrub about four feet 

 high, with thin, wavy, smooth, ovate leaves, and white flowers. 

 Culture as in last species. — Diomedea argentea. Half shrubby, 

 from two to three feet high, neat, aromatic when rubbed. 

 Light sandy loam, and cuttings. — Camellia euryoides. " The 

 orafted part of a camellia, brought from China in 1822 by 

 Mr. John Potts, having perished, the stock sprang up, and 

 proved to be this species, which had been before unknown to 

 botanists. It forms a diffuse bushy plant, with hairy branches, 

 obovate, acuminate, serrated leaves, and small, neat, white 

 flowers, never expanding fully, but in size resembling those 

 of a Thea. It is inferior in beauty to any of the previously 

 known camellias, but must be considered a subject of much 

 interest to the cultivator, from its being one of the means em- 

 ployed by the Chinese for propagating the ornamental species 

 of the genus."

 pagated from cuttings, though with difficulty. — Tabernaemon- 

 tana gratissima. A lactescent stove shrub from Bengal, of 

 delicious fragrance, with yellowish flowers in September, and 

 propagated by cuttings. Soil, loam, peat, and sand, in equal 

 quantities. — Sarcocephalus esculentus (Gard. -Mog.vol.i.p.164.)

 with single leaves and lilac flowers. Soil, light sandy loam :
