¥> ft.; cuttings strike root freely. — 1439, Pimelea *intermeclia. Aneatgreen- 

 Jiouse species ; intern^ediate, as it were, between P. sylvestris and P, hu- 

 milis; its flowers are white, and produced in March, Introduced by 

 Mr. William Easter, who found it in 1824 in King George's Sound, in 

 New Holland. Publislied from the Clapton nurser}^ — 1440. Crocus 

 vernus var. *pictus. A handsome variety, — 1441. yicacia leprosa. The 

 A. dealbata of English gardeners. Its heads of flowers are yellow, axil- 

 lary, and rather numerous. *' A. leprosa owes its grey powdery appear- 

 ance, not to the presence of hairs or scales on its surface, but to the 

 exudation of a brittle concrete matter, which is readily removed by rubbings 

 A tendency to the formation of this is visible in A. dodoncsifdlia, and even 

 in A. stricta, two supposed species, to which A. leprosa approaches so 

 nearly that it is highly probable they will be hereafter considered varieties 

 of the same."

 and probably perennial. — 106. ^ndrosace carinata, A tiny exquisite,

 litter in winter to defend them from frost," — 108. Adenophora stylosa. The 

 Campanula stylesa of botanical collections ; not half so frequent there, or 

 any where, as its elegance and numerous light blue blossoms lead one to 

 wish it to be. 



No. XXVIII. for September, contnins 



109. Ribes sanguineum. The matchless splendour of this hardy shrub 

 •Is already known. The precocity, abimdance, and splendourof its blossoms, 

 and the speedy increase which it admits by cuttings planted in autumn or 

 spring, render its absence from every flower-garden long, impossible. It 

 will grow in almost any soil ; but that in which a portion of lime rubbish 

 occurs, Mr. Douglas, the introducer of the plant, considers fittest. — 110, 

 ■Soldanella alpina. — 111. Ornithogalum fimbriatun-u — 112. Salpiglossis 

 *Barclay«««. " A hybrid between S. picta and S, atropurpurea, raised from

 Hobert Barclay, Esq. ; " now of the Birmingham Garden.
