Bulbous Plants. — 41. Amaryllis longifolia,./?. albo. 42. Tritonia lineata,

Herbaceous Plants. — 43. CEnothera speciosa. 

 Nuttall. Exotic Flora. 80. {fig. 54.) A hand- 

 some perennial plant, lately discovered in the 

 Arkansa country, in North America. As a border 

 plant it is recommended by the beauty and long 

 succession of its flowers ; but its creeping roots, 

 which over-run the neighbourhood of the spot 

 where it is planted, render it objectionable. Its 

 stem is downy, about two feet high, covered with 

 glaucous, cut, lyrate leaves. The flowers are 

 large, white, very handsome, becoming pink upon 

 closing. It is propagated with facility by divi- 

 sion of the roots. 



44. CEnothera triloba. Nuttall. Bot, Mag. 2566. 

 Distinguished from CEnothera acaulis by the 

 smoothness of its leaves, its yellow flowers, form 

 of capsule, and other obvious marks. 



45. Pogonia pendula. hind. This most curious little plant blossomed in 

 great perfection in a shady American border on the 31st of July. The 

 whole plant is not more than four inches in height, and has no other than 

 about three little scale-like, three-nerved leaves, which appear upon the 

 simple red stem. The flowers are terminal, white, tinged with red, large 

 for the size of the plant, appearing about three together, and opening in 

 succession. It is probable that this plant is lost to the garden, as it has not 

 made its appearance this year (1825.), but if it should not be lost, it can 

 scarcely be anticipated that any means will be discovered of increasing it. 



46. Mimulus parviflorus. Lind. Bot. Reg. 874. A pretty prostrate peren- 

 nial plant, with trailing hairy stems, and bright yellow flowers, spotted with 

 crimson in the throat. It is covered with flowers through nearly the whole 

 year, even during the winter months, if protected by a hand-glass. It is 

 readily increased by seeds, which it produces in abundance, or by divisions 

 of the rooting stems. 



47. Arum crinitum. Linn. 48. Pedicularis Canadensis. Linn. Bot. Mag. 

 2506. A pretty plant, seldom seen in collections, on account of the diffi- 

 culty of cultivating it. 



49. Dracocephalum nutans. Linn. Bot. Reg. 841. 

 (fig. 55.) An old plant, seldom seen in gardens. 

 It is a beautiful perennial, expanding its blossoms 

 in the last days of April, and continuing in beauty 

 till the end of August. This plant is worth asking 

 for. 



50. Nolana paradoxa. Lind. Bot. Reg. 865. 

 With much of the habit of the common Nolana 

 prostrata, this is a far more beautiful plant. It may 

 be either treated as a tender annual, or as a frame 

 perennial. 



51. Sambucus Chinensis. A rank, weed-like, 

 herbaceous plant, in a favourable situation, forming 



a bush five or six feet high, with the aspect of Sam- (i^/^T^ /0^^j 

 bucus Ebulus. 



52. Leonurus lacerus. Of the above, 52 species, 

 20 have been introduced by the Horticultural Society ; the others are plants 

 which have been introduced by others, or in the country before, but which, 

 from various causes, have become entitled to the appellation of rare. By 

 a list of the plants which have been introduced by Robert Barclay, Esq.
