That lady gave the seed-vessel to the Rev. John Austen, of Pulborough 

 Rector}', in Sussex, who raised plants from it ; and from a plant in his 

 stove, growing in rich soil under the pavement at the back of the stove, 

 the specimen figured was supplied. In this situation it grows so vigorously, 

 that armfulls of it require to be annually destroyed, to prevent its over- 

 running the house. It strikes very readily from cuttings. Huge as are 

 the flowers of this species, they yield in size both to A. cordiflora and 

 gigantea, in which the blossoms are from 15 to 16 inches across, being 

 large enough to form hats for the Indian children, who amuse themselves 

 with them. (Bot. Reg., Dec.)

" Th3 novel colour of this new hybrid flower renders it very desirable. 

 The plant is slender, like P. pedata. We," says Mr. Maund, " raised it 

 from seed of the P. atrosanguinea, fertilised with pollen of P. pedata ; 

 and we believe that a more perfect mixture of two distinct and dis- 

 similar species is not known. The dark red of the one, and full yellow of 

 the other, are well mingled, and produce a rich deep orange. The foliage, 

 also, of it is intermediate between that of its two parents." Mr. Maund, 

 on the wrapper of his Botanic Garden for January, 1833, has the following 

 additional remark on this plant: — " We have presented the stock of our 

 new Potentilla to the Messrs. Pope, nurserymen, Handsworth, near Bir- 

 mingham. This appeared to be the only practicable method by which we 

 could accommodate all who may wish to possess it."

The figure is " from a drawing made ten years ago from a plant in the 

 collection of the late Mr. Walker, of Arno's Grove, but unaccompanied 

 with any remark. The flowers are small, numerous, and yellow streaked 

 with red. (Bot. Mag., Dec. 1832.)

Figured from the Kew collection, off a shrub of strong growth, 8 ft. 

 high, and much branched; the branches twiggy, and bearing copious 

 foliage, the leaves or phyllodia nearly 3 in. long, and linear-lanceolate. 

 " Flowers crowded, fragrant, arranged in rather long, slender, cylindrical, 

 spreading, sessile, deep yellow spikes, shorter than the leaves." This kind 

 has long existed at Kew ; but no botanist, before Mr. Cunningham, has 

 described its characteristics : its nearest affinity is to A. floribunda Willd. 

 and A. mucronata Willd. {Bot. Mag., Dec.) The time of its flowering 

 is not stated. 



XCVI. Widmnece. Pomaderris ^etulina Cmi., already given in our 

 Additional Supplement, is figured in the Botanical Magazine for January, 

 t. 3212. It is an interesting-looking species, described as " a slender, and 

 much branching, shrub," with numerous small leaves, shaped like those of 

 birch, and " green and nearly glabrous above, but clothed beneath with a 

 dense rusty down. Flowers small, collected into numerous dense brac- 

 teated heads, which are sometimes on short solitary peduncles, from the 

 axils of the leaves, or they form a sort of panicle at the extremity of the 

 numerous branches." Figured from the Kew collection, into which it was 

 introduced from New South Wales, in 1823, by Allan Cunningham, Esq,
