604 Floricultural and Botanical Notices, 



exist iii Europe ; and this is in the Horticultural Society's collection, 

 where it flowered for the first time in November last, and continued in 

 beauty for nearly two months. It grows slowly, and has not yet afforded 

 the means of being propagated. Professor Lindley appends to this article 

 the characters of five new genera; and one of these (CEceoclades) is to 

 receive certain species hitherto referred to Angrce'cum, among which are 

 the A. maculatum and A. falcatum of our Hortus Britannicus, p. 373. 

 CEceoclades is probably from oikeb to inhabit, and klados, a branch ; from its 

 habitat. 



Oncidium bifolium is figured in the Botanical Cabinet for September, 

 t. 1845. ; and of it Messrs. Loddiges remark: — "We scarcely know a 

 plant, even in this favoured class, more elegant in form, or more brilliant 

 in colour, than this ; its dazzling brightness is absolutely inimitable."

These kinds are not unornamental, and require the same treatment as 

 other tulips : they are figured from the Chelsea botanic garden. (Flower-

A second edition of Loudon's Hortus Britannicus having been published 

 since our last Number was issued, the present will be a fit time and place 

 to register this fact ; and to state that the second edition differs from the 

 first, in being freed from the principal of the errors which had been 

 observed in the first ; in having the just published Additional Supplement 

 appended to it, in relation to which new asterisks have been inserted into 

 the body of the book ; and in having the price of the Additional Supplement, 

 namely, 2s. 6<i., added to the price of the first edition ; making the price of 

 the second edition 11. 3s; Qd. The Additional Supplement, consisting of 

 24 pages, is also purchasable separately for 2s. Qd. The genera in the 

 Additional Supplement are arranged alphabetically, to avoid the necessity of 

 an index to it. 



As observed in the preface to our second edition, " whoever wishes to 

 ascertain the additions and improvements made subsequently to the last 

 Additional Supplement may consult the Gardener 's Magazine ; hi which, un- 

 der the article which will be henceforth contained in every Number, entitled 

 ' Floricultural and Botanical Notices of New Plants, and of Old Plants of 

 interest, supplementary to the latest Editions of the Encyclopaedia of 

 Plants, and of the Hortus Britannicus,'' will be found the name of every 

 plant newly introduced or [striking hybrid or variety] originated, and of 

 every recent improvement in botanical nomenclature." 



Obediently to this appointment, we have deemed it pardonable to occupy 

 in the present article a little additional space, for the sake of gathering 

 together, and here exhibiting, all the additions which have accumulated 

 since the putting of the Additional Supplement to press, so that the pos- 

 sessors of the Additional Supplement will not have to turn farther back in 

 the Gardener's Magazine than to the following list, which includes all the 

 newly introduced or originated plants published in the botanical periodicals 

 up to September 1. 1832, and, consequently, includes the names of those 

 noticed in detail in the foregoing pages of the present Number. 



An asterisk (*) prefixed to a generic name indicates that name to have 

 never yet been admitted into either the Hortus Britannicus or the Additional 

 Supplement. 



A dagger (+) prefixed to a few specific names signifies that these 

 names are already in the Hortus Britannicus or the Additional Supplement,
