stood the preceding winter unprotected. There are several varieties of it 

 now in cultivation, one of which will hereafter be probably ranked a species. 



Subclass 3. Corolliflo'rjs.

 Georgz, Sweet's B. F. G. t. 266., pulcherrimum Hooker, B. M. t. 2979., hu- 

 mile Willd. B.Reg. 1. 1304. 



Soldne/Z. Salpiglossis (Ruiz et Pavon) Barclaia««, Intermediate between 

 S. straminea and S. atropurpurea ; but inferior in beauty to either of its 

 parents. 



Scrophularince. Sect. 2. Stamina (2) Antherifera. Calceolaria L. Flowers 

 of a hybrid Calceolaria have been furnished to me by Mr. T. Gellan (by 

 whom it has been raised), intermediate between C. corymbosa and C. pur- 

 purea ; and as it is, I believe, the first hybrid of the genus, it may be named 

 Calceolaria (Z/.) Gellanidna. [Some hybrids have been raised in Scotland, 

 an account of which will be found in p. 493.] A second hybrid has been 

 raised in this nursery, intermediate between C. arachnoidea and C* corym- 

 bosa, but has not yet flowered. I propose to name it Calceolaria (£.) 

 Youngw. I have, for the sake of euphony, merely named this hybrid after 

 these excellent cultivators. Had it been otherwise, I should have been dis- 

 posed to give it a complimentary termination [Youngz'a?za]. 



Labiutce. Prunella (L.) BrownzV«za Penny in Hort. Eps. ed. 2. ined.. 

 A native of New Holland, considered the same as P. vulgaris by Mr, 

 Brown ; but a comparison of the two species, in a state of cultivation, has 

 decided them to be truly distinct. An ornamental species for rockwork ; 

 frame. — ilfarrubium (i.) astracanicum Jacq. 



Acanthdcece. Ruelh«(L.) Sabinidna Wallich, Bot. Reg. t. 1238. 



Vmnuldcece. Dodecatheon (£.) Meadia var. 2. major. A beautiful 

 seedling variety of D. Meadz/7. — Soldanella (X.) crenata Penny in Hort. 

 Eps. ed. 2. ined. A fifth, and, as far as can be determined, an unrecorded 

 species of the genus, approximating in size and flowers to S. alpina,but dis- 

 tinguished from it and the other species by its decidedly crenate leaves. — 

 S. minima Hoppe, Sweet's B. F. G. t. 53. — Primula (£.) mistassinica 

 Mich. B. M. t. 2973. Certainly a distinct species from P. pusilla Goldie. — 

 Lubima atropurpurea B. F. G. This beautiful plant has stood the severity 

 of the last winter unprotected ; and has now about twenty flowering stems, 

 which make a fine appearance. — Jnagallis (L.) Webbidna Penny. This 

 species has also stood uninjured, and is now flowering beautifully.

 pedecE. Cypripedium (£.) ventricosum Swartz, B. F. G., news. t. 1. The 

 imaginary difficulty attending the cultivation of this interesting family of 

 plants, has retarded their being more generally cultivated. Here they may 

 be seen in their native luxuriance, displaying their diversified and peculiar 

 form ; oftentimes preeminently beautiful : graduating from the humble musk 

 O'rchis (Herminium monorchis) of Britain to the splendid subject of the 

 present article, a native of Siberia. For the cretaceous species, a chalky 

 bank, and a bed composed of <Sphagnum, decayed leaves, and turfy peat, over- 

 hung by the microscopical .Filices, are the only requisites to cultivate all the 

 hardy species of the order with perfect success. The flowers of the species 

 under consideration are of a beautiful reddish purple, continuing in' beauty 

 for several weeks.
