" Lately introduced by Mr. Lee. It is a pretty little plant, growing 

 very bushy, and flowering abundantly in May. The flowers are covered 

 with a kind of silky down." (Bot. Cab., Sept.) 



Menziesia empetriformis is figured in the Botanical Magazine for Aug., 

 t. 3176., and is an elegant botanical gem. " Its leaves in the recent state 

 are decidedly tumid both above and below, being depressed only along the 

 middle rib on either side."

Stated in the Bot. Mag. for August to be perfectly hardy in the Cannon- 

 mills and Edinburgh botanic gardens. Its hairy prostrate branches are 

 furnished with numerous toothed evergreen leaves, nine lines long, and 

 four and a half broad ; the flowers are not large. Dr. Graham has not yet 

 seen the fruit, so that the plant, it is just possible, may prove a species of 

 Gaulthena, or of ^rctostaphylos.

Flowers of a rosy salmon colour, large, and spreading from 2 a in. to 

 3 in. in expansion, the upper petals spotted with spots of a darker colour 

 than the petals themselves. " This splendid hybrid production is the off- 

 spring of Rhododendron phceniceum, that had been fertilised by R. indi- 

 cum, and was raised by Mr. Smith, at Coombe Wood, in the spring of 

 1828. It partakes of the characters of both parents, and, like them, is 

 rather tender, but appears to be a more desirable plant than either ; is of 

 free growth, and produces its flowers in great abundance. Mr. Smith's 

 success in this department of horticulture is well known, his collection 

 surpassing any thing of the kind we have ever seen." (Flower-Garden, 

 August.)

A green-house shrub, that was very pleasingly blooming at Mr. Knight's 

 nursery in April and May last. It produces ornamental heads of snow- 

 white, semitransparent, salver-shaped flowers; it requires " the same 

 treatment as the epacrises, styphelias, and other families in the oMer 

 Epacrideae." Professor Lindley supposes Sphenotoma to be derived from 

 sphen, a wedge ; and lemno, to cut ; in allusion to the wedge-shaped seg- 

 ments of the corolla. (Bot. Reg., Aug.) This etymon differs from that 

 supplied in the Hortus Britannicus. Which is the right one ?

Resembles, but is distinct from, C. crenatiflora. It is figured from Mr. 

 Low's Clapton Nursery, where, Mr. Sweet believes, but one plant has 

 been raised, which, it is hoped, will produce seeds. From its blossoms 

 being large, and from their hanging down in a graceful manner, it is one of 

 the most showy species of the genus. Mr. Sweet considers that this and
