pedicle, 4-lobed. It has been considered an herbaceous perennial, but it is 

 truly suflruticose. It is generally treated as a green-house plant. If planted 

 on a warm border, it forms an elegant bush ; but will require to be well 

 protected, as several plants perished in that situation the preceding winter.

 Hippocrepis (X.) prostrata Penny. Hort. Eps. p. 1. p. 26. No. 1798. An 

 undescribed species, introduced, I believe, in 1825, from Switzerland. It is 

 probably H. comdsa of the Swiss botanists, but is, undoubtedly, very dis- 

 tinct from that species. The flowers are of a fine yellow, nearly double the 

 size of H. comosa, and appear in the greatest profusion in May and June, 

 but more sparingly in the subsequent part of the season. A lovely rock- 

 plant, propagated by cuttings.

 Like the other species of this admired genus, it should be planted in a bed 

 exclusively devoted to them ; and, if situated according to their affinities, will 

 facilitate the enquiries of the scientific botanist, and be highly ornamental. 

 The abundance of flowers (though inferior in size to the other species), and 

 their mutability, succeeded by globose purplish-black berries, render this a 

 very pleasing object. The absence of botanical erudition appears in desig- 

 nating this species flrymifolia, which is absolutely inapplicable, especially to 

 a plant which might evidently have had a name more expressive.
