" Of the three varieties of the Christmas rose, which we have observed 

 in the gardens, the one now figured is, we think, entitled to the preference, 

 as being less encumbered by foliage, and having the blossoms at least a 

 third larger, and of a clearer colour ; it flowers six or eight weeks later 

 than the common kind," and farther differs in the form of the segments of 

 its leaves. Drawn from the botanic garden, Chelsea. (British Floiver- 

 Garden, April.)

Received from Berlin, in 1832, at the Edinburgh botanic garden; 

 whence it is to be hoped this pretty addition to hardy spring-flowering 

 plants will soon be distributed to other gardens. In general appearance 

 it resembles a good deal the common yet lovely Corydalis bulbosa. (^Bot. 

 Mag., April.)

This is very distinct from the Clark«« pulchella, and much less orna- 

 mental. It is, however, sufficiently pretty and interesting to be eligible to 

 the gardens of all those who have pleasure in observing every instance of 

 the rich diversity of form and hue v/hich obtains in the vegetable world; 

 but, by those who only regard plants in proportion to their capability of 

 supplying rich masses of gaudy colouring, it will not be esteemed. 

 C. elegans "was raised last year in the garden of the Horticultural Society, 

 and blossomed in the open air from July to October." {Bot. Reg., April.) 

 We saw part of a bed of it there in flower in September, 1832.
