Catalogue of Botanical Woi*ks. 335 



Part CXX. for April, contains 



1191 to 1200. — Albuca major, Leptospermum lanigerum, Linum Trigy- 

 num, Erica 'paniculata, Thunbergia coccinea. From seeds from Calcutta, 

 stove, climbing plant, flowers freely in autumn, cuttings, light rich loam ; 

 " a charming acquisition, the blossoms being particularly beautiful and 

 striking." Dichorisandra thyrsifolia, Bauera humilis, Camellia japdnica, 

 Persoonia spathulata, Amaryllis solandrsefolia. 



This part completes the twelfth volume of this admirably executed and 

 truly cheap publication. The small-sized paper edition, containing ten 

 plates, a part of each of which is coloured, and which, to our taste, is more 

 interesting, and to young persons studying drawing certainly more useful, 

 than if the plates were completed, costs only 2s. 6d. ! To complete the 

 colouring of these plates, and add MS. notes in the margin, would be a 

 charming and instructive female exercise.
