236 FloricuUural and Botanical Notices, 



" Flowers axillary, about twice the size of those of CE. rosea. Petals 

 cloven at the top, of a pale rose colour, and elegantly pencilled with 

 branching veins of a deeper tint. It is a hardy annual, of easy culture." 

 The plant was raised by Mr. Lambert, from seeds collected in ChUe by Mr. 

 Hugh Cuming. (British Flower-Garden, March.)

A Chilian novelty, devoid of attractive beauty, already registered in our 

 Additional Supplement, but less perfectly than as here given. The species 

 naturally " occupies dry watercourses in the province of Mendoza." (Bri- 

 tish Flower-Garden, March.)

A species nearly allied to the G. tomentosum, but " distinguished by its 

 less-pinnated shorter leaves, which are by no means scabrous on the upper 

 side ; and by its flowers growing in terminal clusters, instead of singly or 

 in pairs. The flowers are also of a bright deep yellow, and not pallid. It 

 is also closely allied to the G.lanatum (Cun. MS.) ; but its capitate inflo- 

 rescence at once distinguishes it." Raised by Mr. Knight, from seeds col- 

 lected by Mr. Baxter. (Bot. Reg., Feb.) 



XCVI. Hkdnmece. Pomaderris andromed(Bfdlia Cunningham is figured 

 from the Kew collection in the Bot. Mag. for Feb. 183.3. It is a branched 

 shrub, with leaves lanceolate-oval, smooth; and, beneath, snowily tomen- 

 tose. The flowers, of a rusty aspect, are produced in rather small, dense, 

 terminal corymbs.

" This is the third species of Duvaua extant in our collections. All of 

 them are very handsome evergreen bushes, with a bright shining foliage, 

 which emits a strong but grateful odour when bi'uised. They will not bear 

 the climate of London without protection from frost j but, if trained to a 

 wall, and sheltered by a roof of thatch in winter, they succeed perfectly : 

 in short, they are about as hardy as myrtles." D. ovata blossomed abun- 

 dantly in July, 1832, upon a south wall, in the garden of the Horticultural 

 Society : in affinity, it is close on D. dependens. " It will grow in any 

 soil or situation which is dry in summer, and well drained in winter. It 

 would probably succeed in the crevices of rocks in Devonshire or Corn- 

 wall." (Bot. Reg., March.) Some of the present species of Duvaua were 

 once included in the genus *S'chinus : and for a notice of a remarkable 

 quality possessed by the leaves of schinuses, and most probably those of 

 duvauas as well, see the next Number.

Mr. J. T. Mackay, in noticing habitats in Ireland for £'rica mediterranea 

 and Menziesk ^oliifblia, also remarks that " a variety' of this last, with 

 white flowers, of which I have a living specimen in the College Botanic 

 Garden, has lately been found growing sparingly with the species itself."
