Barclay, Esq. It is a stove plant, of considerable beauty." (Loddiges's 

 JBot. Cab., Jan. 1833.) 



CCXXI Labiates. Salvia angiistifolia Cav., a beautiful species, native 

 of New Spain and Mexico, is figured in the Botanical Register for January, 

 t. ISSi., and there thus spoken of: — " It proves a very pretty perennial, 

 growing about 2 ft. high, and producing its deep pure blue flowers in July, 

 August, and September. In the summer it thrives in the open air, forming a 

 pleasing contrast with the red Brazilian and Mexican species commonly 

 cultivated ; but in the winter it is necessary to preserve it from frost in a 

 green-house or well-protected pit. It is easily propagated by cuttings. In 

 the size of its blossoms, and in its foliage, it much resembles S. Graham?." 



MONOCOTYLEDONOUS PlANTS. 



CCXXXVIII. AmarylMex. Mr. Haworth, in a somewhat recent 

 number of Taylor's Philosojjhical' Magazine, has published some useful 

 additions and amendments to his Monograph on Nardssinean Plants ; and 

 this mention of the paper will enable the students of this group to refer to 

 it, and use the information it imparts. In a postscript at the close of that 

 communication, Mr. Haworth remarks that Zephyranthes grandiflora (^Bot. 

 Beg., 902.) is the same plant as Habranthus robustus of Herbert, in 

 Sweet's British Flower-Gar den. Second Series.

" This is of hybrid offspring, we believe, between G. cardinalis and 

 blandus, and was raised by the Hon. and Rev. William Herbert, to whom 

 we are obliged for the specimen figured. It is an extremely showy plant, 

 and therefore cannot fail to become a universal favourite with florists. It 

 will doubtless require the same treatment as G. cardinalis, and, like it, be 

 readily increased by offsets. {British Flower-Gar den, J 'dn.) 



Gladiolus natalensis (psittacinus of some), we are informed from the 

 country, multiplies itself^ by offsets amazingly fast,

A new, distinct, and tender stove species, figured from the nursery of 

 its introducer, Mr. Lee, Hammersmith. The plant is of the size of M. 

 squalens; the scapes are many-flowered, and the flowers unspotted; the 

 foliage is fine, and varies from 8 in. long and 3 in. broad, to 18 in. long and 

 2 in. broad. At the close of the description of this species. Professor 

 Lindley gives a systematic enumeration of 38 species of this genus, 18 of 

 which are already living in Britain. (Bot. Reg., Dec.)

" It flowered in July and August, 1832, remaining very long in perfec- 

 tion. The beauty of this flower, and its singularity, both in form and 

 colour, render it a most valuable addition to the number of the orchideous 

 plants; to which, if we unite its delicious fragrance, there will be few more 

 desirable." (Bot. Cab., Dec.)

A magnificent plant, received, with many other orchideous plants, by 

 Messrs. Loddiges, from their friend, Frederick Warre, Esq., who collected 

 it in Brazil. (Bot. Cab., Jan. 1833.)
