shrub. We have not yet ascertained whether, like the pulverulenta, it 

 will thrive without the protection of a wall." This shrub, though not 

 showy in its flowers, is graceful in its pendulous branches, and long, nar- 

 row, lanceolate green leaves. (^Bot. Mag., August.)

Figured from Mr. Lambert's garden at Boyton, Wiltshire. It is strikingly 

 different from all the known species of simple-leaved brambles in its finely 

 cut stipules and bracteas, which are covered with numerous little trans- 

 parent green glands ; giving all the parts that surround the petals an 

 appearance of being sprinkled with green dew. R. roridus is chiefly an 

 object of botanical interest, there being little in it to attract the mere lover 

 of showy flowers. Its fruit is unknown. {Bot. Reg., August.)

" We raised it from seeds in 1882, and it flowered in abundance the fol- 

 lowing spring. The plants were not more than 2 in. or Sin. high. The 

 flowers are large, and splendid in colour. Its minuteness has hitherto pre- 

 vented us from any attempt at propagating it ; but it will probably, like 

 others of the same genus, strike by cuttings." (Locldiges's Bot. Cab.,

A miniature shrub, raised in the nursery of Mr. Knight, from seeds col- 

 lected by Mr. William Baxter. It flowered, for the first time in England, 

 in August, 1832. Each of its slender shoots bears alternate leaves, each 

 of three narrow leaflets ; and is tipped with a pea-shaped blossom, whose 

 outline equals in width that of a sixpenny-piece; and of a yellow colour, 

 with its standard purplish at its back. It requires to be kept in an extremely 

 well ventilated situation in a green-house. (Bot. Reg., Sept.)

Raised from seeds sent from Van Diemen's Land by Dr. Scott. A beau- 

 tiful plant. P. obtusangulum " may possibly be only a variety of P. tri- 

 angulare of Brown, as given in the Botanical Magazine, t. 1508.; but has 

 a nuich more straggling habit and longer branches, frequently throwing out 

 new shoots from the axils of the leaves; the old leaves have much more 

 obtuse angles, and the young ones are not angular at all ; the flowers are 

 considerably larger, and the lobes of the calyx particularly so." (Bot. 

 Mag., August.)

" Raised, from seed sent from Van Diemen's Land by Dr. Scott, at 

 the Glasgow Botanic Garden ; and Mr. MuiTay, the able and zealous 

 curator of this establishment, at once recognised it as a species quite dis- 

 tinct both from P. obtusangulum and from the P. triangulare : and I [Dr. 

 Hooker] am desirous that it should bear his name. It bears a great num- 

 ber of flowers, which expand their vivid petals during the day, and close 

 them as the evening approaches." (Bot. Mag., August.)

 plant from Chilian seeds. It is found in the plains at Conception, Val-
