" It is a handsome green-house plant, flowering very abundantly, and 

 is readily increased by cuttings." {Bot. Reg., Jan. 1833.)

A graceful evergreen suflTruticose twiner, with stalked pendulous scarlet 

 tubular corollas above an inch in length : the height or extent to which 

 the plant attains is not stated. The plant seems well furnished with 

 foliage. The leaves are shining and opposite ; in figure cordate, acumi- 

 nate, and the lowest and largest 4 in. long, and nearly 2^ in. broad, 

 gradually diminishing in size to the uppermost, which are 4 lines long 

 and 2 lines broad. The plant is figured from the stove of Mr. Neill, 

 Canonmills, where it first showed flower in August last. Another and 

 stronger specimen is just now (10th October) opening its first blos- 

 soms ; and, being covered with a profusion of buds in every stage, promises 

 to be exceedingly ornamental during many weeks. It was raised from seed 

 sent home by Mr. Tweedie. {Bot. Mag., Dec.)

Lately introduced from Chile into France : we received it by the kind- 

 ness of our friend, M. Mirbel, of the Jardin du Roi, at Paris. It flowers in 

 long succession during the summer, and thrives best if the pot is placed in a 

 pan of water : it appears to bear seeds freely, and, being probably not long- 

 lived, it is requisite to renew it frequently. {Bot. Cab., Dec.) The limb 

 of the corolla is large; and of its five divisions, four are white, the lowest 

 rosy, with some yellow towards the throat ; it seems in habit closely related 

 to M. guttatus and luteus. 



In the Horticultural Society's Garden, on Sept. 3. 1832, I was shown a 

 very pleasing herbaceous species of ikflmulus, the M. roseus of Douglas : 

 it has rosy largish corollas, and foliage not very unlike that of Mi 

 moschatus.

A splendid species, " introduced from Mexico, by Mr. Tate, of the 

 Sloane-street Nursery, from whom Mr. Lambert obtained the plant, which 

 blossomed in the stove, at Boyton, in the early part of last summer. It 

 appears to be fond of warmth and moisture, grows luxuriantly, is readily 

 increased by cuttings, and promises to produce its blossoms more freely 

 than the other species." (D. Don, in Bot. Beg., Jan. 1833.) 



Niererabergia linariEefolia of our Addilional Supplement, is published in 

 Sweet's British Flower-Garden for December, by the name of N. gracilis, to 

 which that in the Supplement must be altered. Mr. D. Don remarks the very 

 close affinity of this genus to the genus Petunia, and also the close affinity 

 of the genus Petunia to the genus Salpiglossis. This seems practically 

 proved by the Salpiglossis integrifolia of the Botanical Magazine, ^\\3,, 

 being as palpably a Petunia as it can stare. It is a most ornamental 

 species, with largish rosy crimson blossoms ; and, in the Horticultural 

 Society's Garden, I learned, on Sept. 3. 1832, that a blossom or blossoms 

 of it had been there just previously impregnated with the pollen of Petunia 

 nyctaginiflora. Mr. D. Don proposes to call the Salpiglossis integrifolia of 

 Hooker Petunia phoenicea.
