barbatum, camtchaticum, and lepidotum ; and one other unknown species 



from Nepal : none of which have yet flowered with us." {^Bot. Cab., 



July.) The R. barbatum is planted into a bed of soil in one of Messrs. 



Loddiges's glass houses ; and is especially striking, from the footstalks of 



its leaves being thickly and strongly bearded with hairs, which, if we have 



not remembered inaccurately, have each a glandular extremity.

Raised at the botanic garden, Edinburgh. " Stem erect, branched, very 

 slender. Leaves lanceolate, acuminate, mucronate, spreading. Flowers 

 collected near the extremity of the branches, and borne on one side of 

 them, white." (Bot. Mag., June.)

" We raised it, in 1830, from seeds from New South Wales; and it 

 flowered in March, 1833. It is a very lively and beautiful plant." (Bot. 

 Cab., June.) 



St3'phelia tubiflora is figured in Loddiges's Botanical Cabinet for June, 

 t. 1398. " Although this beautiful plant has long been known by descrip- 

 tions and dried specimens, we had never seen it in a living state till we 

 raised it from seeds in 1830. In March, 1833, it produced its elegant 

 [crimson] flowers : the plant was erect, about 2 ft. in height, with many 

 stiff small branches." 



Leucopogon Richei is figured in the Botanical Magazine for July, t. 3251., 

 and is accompanied by a most interesting memoir of M. Riche (in com- 

 memoration of whom the species has been named), and a digest of the 

 synonymes which belong to this species : by the latter, it appears that 

 the 



Leucop^gon parviflbrus of Lindley in Sot.Reg., 1. 1560., noticed in our p. 237., is but asynonyme 

 of h. Richei Bot. Mag. 3251.

2060. ATJ'CUBA]3.\)6mca. is, in Hort. Brit., p. 379-, wrongly placed in the class MonceVia, and Order 

 Tetiandria : it belongs to Dioe'cia Tetrandria ; and it is presumed that only the female sex 

 has been yet introduced into Britain ; at least all the plants to be met with in blossom (and 

 these are not few every spring) are of this sex. 



CCVII. PrimuldcecB. 



Primula amce'na is figured in the Botanical Magazine for July, t. 3252., 

 from the collection of Mr. Neill, Canonmills, Edinburgh ; who obtained 

 it of Mr. Goldie, who brought it from St. Petersburgh. It flowered beau- 

 tifully in a cold frame, in April last, producing an umbel of eighteen per- 

 fect flowers. The corolla is very handsome, purplish lilac in bud, or, when 

 recently expanded, more blue after a few days. The leaves resemble those 

 of P. veris (the common paigle of our fields) ; and suggest that P.amoe^na 

 may be cultivated without much difficulty. 



CCIX. Gesnere?e. Gesnen'a Douglasz'i Lindl. is figured in Loddiges's 

 Botanical Cabinet for J line, t. 1939.; where Mr. Douglas, " the indefatigable 

 traveller, whose name it bears," is justly eulogised as one " who, with most 

 active zeal and industry, has done, and is doing, so much for botanical 

 science : not merely by accumulating for the dead gardens of dry collectors, 

 but for the living splendour of almost every garden in Europe ; through 

 the whole of which, the beautiful plants which he first discovered have 

 been disseminated."
