Here ends a catalogue of the species which Mr. Bentham has described 

 in the Botanical Register. 



An additional species of CoUomia has, a botanical friend has informed 



us, been recently published in Hooker's Journal of Botany : it is named — 



Cavanillfeszi Hook. & A. Cavanilles's. It is closely related to C. coccfnea above, and is thePhlox 

 linearis of Cavanilles's Figures [Icones). Whether the species has been yet seen alive in Bri- 

 tain we are not aware.

An additional and hardy species of lilac, for the enrichment and deco- 

 ration of our shrubberies. It is, perhaps, scarcely so beautiful as those 

 already in cultivation. It was discovered in Transylvania, by the Baroness 

 von Josika, born Countess Czaki, and has been, by Jacquin, named in 

 compliment to that distinguished lady. S. Josikce^fl is an upright shrub, 

 with spreading branches and purple twigs. Its leaves are elliptic lanceo- 

 late, 3 in. long, and l^in. broad, shining and lurid green above, beneath 

 white, in the manner of those of the balsam poplar. The panicles of 

 corollas are terminal, erect. Each corolla is about i in. long, of a deep lilac 

 colour. " Dr. Graham, in 1833, received the plant, at the Botanic Garden 

 of Edinburgh, from Mr. Booth of Hamburgh." Besides this additional 

 information on the S. Josikse^o;, Dr. Hooker incidentally communicates that 



The common likac (S. vulgaris), which has hitherto been considered almost exclusively of Persian 

 origin, is stated, by Dr. Heuffel, to adorn, with its copious blossoms, the inaccessible chalky 

 precipices of the Cverna Valley and Mount Domaglett in Hungary, as well as the whole 

 group of rocks along the Danube, at the military boundaries of Moldowa, Szazka, Csiklova, 

 and Krassova. {Bot. Mag., Nov.)

" This extremely pretty iysimachia was received at the Botanic Garden, 

 Glasgow, from that of Copenhagen. It is cultivated in a pot, and treated 

 as an alpine plant, that is, protected from the fickleness of our winters, and 

 kept in a cool shady situation in the summer; and, in the month of June, 

 a pot filled with this little plant is quite a beautiful object ; for the pedun- 

 cles are so long as to elevate the bright, and comparatively large, yellow 

 flowers above the tops of the stems and the delicate pale green foliage."

Raised by the Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert, from seeds imported by Mr. 

 Hugh Cuming. Its blossoms are yellow, and, though not large, very 

 numerous, disposed in axillary and terminal cymes ,• it is always a neat- 

 looking species, and is very beautiful when growing vigorously in the open 

 border. Near C. integrifolia, but has all its leaves hoary beneath, and its 

 upper leaves sessile, with triangular bases. {Bot. Reg., November.)
