Art. VII. The London Nurseries. 



Epsom Nursery. — New or rare plants which have flowered in July and 

 August : — 



Class I. DICOTYLEDO N NE^. Subclass 1. Thalamiflo n r;e. 



Ord. Hanuncitlacecs. Trib. 4. Helleborece. Aconitum (Tourn.) molda- 

 vicum Bess. 



Vapaverdcece. Argemdne (Tourn.) Barclay ana Penny. In Vol. VI. 

 p. 1 15., I have adverted to a second perennial species of this genus, but I 

 have erred in stating the flowers to be sulphur-coloured: they are of a 

 delicate cream colour, somewhat smaller than those of A. grandiflora. Like 

 the latter species, it began flowering in June, and has already attained the 

 height of 5 ft. I would characterise it thus : — A. Barclayawa. Perennial ; 

 leaves sinuate dentato-spinose ; midrib and veins covered with glaucous 

 bloom; calyx nearly spineless; capsule spinose; stigma subsessile. Native 

 of Mexico. 



Violariecc. Trib. 2. Alsodinece. Hymenanthera (Banks) dentata R. Br. 

 Loud. Hort. Brit. Supp. p. 472. A curious green-house shrub, native of 

 New Holland. 



Frankenikcese. Frankenk (L.~) paucifldra Dec. A pretty green-house 

 shrub, with pink flowers. Young cuttings root freely. 



Caryophyllece. Trib. 1. Silenece. Dianthus (L.) ferrugineus L. A beau- 

 tiful capitate species, with rose-coloured flowers ; hardy. — D. Fischeri 

 (Spreng.) v. albus. A seminal production of the prototype : an elegant 

 variety. — Saponaria (L.) calabrica Ledeb. ? A pretty rock-plant, with 

 elegant rose-coloured flowers, surpassing the well known S. ocymoides. 



Geranidcece. Trib. 2. Pelargoniece, Pelargonium (L'Herit.) Webbidnmn 

 Penny in Hort. Eps. ed. 2d ined. (Guy Mannering of the gardens). This 

 hybrid has been named in compliment to the accomplished Miss Webb, the 

 elegant authoress of The Mummy, from which an extract may be seen in 

 Vol. III. p. 478. ; who, to her numerous acquirements, is adding, with un- 

 paralleled ardour, an extensive knowledge of botany. A most desirable 

 plant, raised from P. Humei, which had been fertilised with some unknown 

 kind. — P. Carelessidnum Penny in Hort. Eps. ed. 2d ined. (Marmion of 

 the gardens). This splendid hybrid, resembling in some respects Lord 

 Combermere of the gardens, has been chosen to commemorate an excellent 

 botanical lady residing in the vicinity of Bath.
