Eps. ed. 2. ined. Named in compliment to a meritorious gardening lad 

 who has accompanied Sir James Carmichael Smyth (the governor) to the 

 Bahama Islands ; and from whose industry, and love of plants, important 

 results are expected. A beautiful free-flowering hybrid, probably the pro- 

 duction of some of the varieties of P. spectabile. — P. Tlislopidnum Penny 

 in Hort. Eps. ed. 2. ined. (Young's William tire Fourth of the gardens.) 

 From P. exornatum, or its allies, several beautiful productions have appeared. 

 Among them, none can vie with the present plant. The upper petals are 

 of the richest dark-velvety colour, surpassing, by many shades, P. Yeat- 

 manidnum ; deprived, however, of the spots on the lower petals, which are 

 peculiar to that hybrid. It is also of free growth. It is intended as a mark 

 of distinction for your correspondent (Vol. VI. p. 48.), whose skill as a 

 gardener and cultivator entitles him to be thus distinguished.

 shrub, with yellow flowers in May. It seeds freely. — Subtrib. 3.Clitorics. 

 Indigofera (L.) sylvatica Sieb. Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 3000. A green-house 

 shrub, of unrivalled beauty among the numerous species of this genus. A 

 native of New Holland, whence seeds were obtained by Messrs. Young in 

 1827. The flowers are of a bright rosy purple. Seeds freely ; it is also 

 propagated by cuttings. — Trib. 5. Pkaseolece. iupinus (Tourn.) poly- 

 phyllus Lindl. albus, leucophyllus Doug. B. R. t. 1124, The rarest of Mr. 

 Douglas's lupines ; now in the gardens, where it is thriving in great luxuri- 

 ance, and is perfecting seeds ; L. aridus Doug. B. R. 1242. It appears to suffer 

 in a soil saturated with moisture ; but, in a dry situation, it is the most lovely 

 species of the genus known to me.

 aristata Pursh, B. R. t. 1186. A grand flowering herbaceous plant, recently 

 introduced by Mr. D. Douglas and others ; which, independently of its 

 greater stature, is a far different plant from G. bicolor. Nothing can ex- 

 ceed the beauty of some plants flowering here, in peat soil, upwards of 

 4 ft. high. A third species of this genus has been presented to Messrs. 

 Young, by Mi - . M'Nab, from Dr. Richardson's seeds, under the name of G. 

 bicolor var., which has been named G. Richardsdm Penny in Hort. Eps. 

 ed. 2. ined., about the size of G. bicolor, but more beautiful. All the 

 species seed freely. — Subord. 18. Asterice. Neja (D. Don) gracilis D. Don.

 succeed well, planted in a warm border, in the open ah, during the summer 

 months.
