" This richly and very deeply coloured paeony is figured from the garden 

 of the Rev. J. T. Huntley, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, who received 

 it from the Prince de Salm-Dyck. Its stamens are converted into narrow, 

 acuminated, and spirally-twisted petals, bearing the same relation to P. 

 officinalis as the anemone-flowered or Waratah camellia does to the true 

 Camellia japonica, and it is scarcely less beautiful in its appearance."

A somewhat twining shrub, with slender branching stems, and glabrous 

 linear entire leaves two or three inches long : on a warm sunny day it is 

 almost covered with its bright yellow, but fugacious, blossoms, and is, con- 

 sequently, a very pretty plant. The specific name is in compliment to its 

 introducer, Mr. Allan Cunningham : " a name," Dr. Hooker observes, 

 " likely to be still more intimately connected with the botany of New 

 Holland, than it has even yet been, now that Mr. Richard Cunningham is 

 appointed to be the successor of Mr. Fraser, the late colonial botanist at 

 Sydney, for which country he is very shortly to embark." (Bot. Mag., 

 Sept. 1832.) [Mr. Richard Cunningham sailed on the 18th of August.]

Messrs. Loddiges received this from their valued friend, Mr. Charles 

 Stokes. It was raised from Indian seeds, and requires the stove, where its 

 flowers continue long in succession. (Bot. Cab., Sept.)

" This," say Messrs. Loddiges, " is a neat small-flowering variety, dis- 

 tinct from every other white, having a good deal of the character of the 

 C. Sasdnqua in the flower, but the leaves of C. japonica." Each flower 

 seems to consist of many petals, but still shows several stamens. (Bot. 

 Cab., Aug.)

 It propagates readily by means of the little round hedgehog-like bulbs
