XI. Capparidece § Cleomece. Cleome gigantea is figured in the Bot. 

 Mag. for March, t. 3137. Its " flowers are perhaps among the largest of 

 the genus ; but they are less conspicuous than many others, on account of 

 their almost uniform pale green colour." 



XXIX. Tilidcees. " Brownlowia elata blossomed in September, 1831, in 

 the stove at Wormleybury, and then measured 9 J ft. in height, and the 

 stem 10 in. round, and some of the leaves 10J in. in length by 8 in breadth. 

 It is a grand tree in India, being, according to Mr, Gr. Don, 100 ft. in height ; 

 and, according to Roxburgh, the trunk at 4 ft. from the ground is 15 ft. in 

 circumference. Dr. Wallich says, in the Calcutta Botanic Garden it forms 

 at all times a beautiful spectacle, and especially when covered with its 

 numerous grand panicles of yellow flowers : it is a stove plant in Britain.

" Flower bearing a strong resemblance to a beautiful variegated rose; 

 generally very double, more spreading than that of many varieties, and ele- 

 gantly marked and variegated with white blush and deep rosy red." Mr. 

 Sweet thus speaks of his camellia, the English name assigned to which is 

 " Sweet's painted-flowered Camellia." The present variety we believe to 

 be one of the most splendid that has ever been raised ; at any rate, it is the 

 finest that we have seen. It is of hybrid origin ; the produce of the double 

 striped fertilised by the pompone variety : the foliage partakes most of 

 the latter variety, but is larger ; and the plant, if not seen in flower, might 

 be mistaken for a strong-growing single one. It is another of the numerous 

 hybrid varieties that we fertilised and raised from seed, at the nursery of 

 the late Mr. Colvill, several years ago, but it has now flowered for the first 

 time." This is the variety mentioned as seen at ColvilPs in our last floral 

 report, p. 24.

Received by the Horticultural Society from Messrs. Floy of New York 

 by the name of " the intoxicating red currant." Professor Lindley pre- 

 sumes " its berries possess some narcotic property, although such a cir- 

 cumstance has been hitherto unheard of in the order. The fruit has never 

 been produced in this country." The lobed leaves have an odour like 

 that of the leaves of R. floridum. (Feb.)

A native of the hottest parts of America. It is a very handsome plant, 

 producing beautiful rosy blossoms freely in January and the succeeding 

 months : it will bear more water than many succulent plants. Drawn from 

 Mr. Tate's nursery. (Bot. Reg., Feb. 1832.)

" An elegant deciduous shrub, apparently more hardy than any other 

 species that we cultivate : " this, however, remains to be proved. " It 

 blossoms all the summer long till November, grows freely in any kind of 

 light soil, and is propagated by cuttings as readily as other fuchsias." Is 

 most nearly related to F. microphylla, but from that quite distinct. (Bot. 

 Reg., Feb.) 



Qnagrdrice. § 3. Ondgrece. Oenothera anisoloba is figured in the Bot. 

 Reg. for March, t. 1479. It is described as requiring some covering through 

 our winters, and as increasing by seeds, which ripen readily. " It grows to
