In a warm green-house " it grows rapidly, and forms a good-sized bush, 

 with many succulent branches, each producing plenty of flowers [rather 

 large, and of a pale blue], which continue successively from the month of 

 June till autumn." (Bot. Cab., November.) 



Anthocercis viscosa is figured in the Botanical Register for November, 

 t. 1624. It is a handsome evergreen shrub, with dark green neat leaves, 

 and rather numerous large white starry flowers, produced in May and June. 

 It is liable to injury from over-watering ; it is easily propagated by cuttings. 

 Figured from Lowe's nursery, Clapton. Dr. Lindley refers this genus to 

 Scrophularineae. Another species, A littorea, has flowered in Ireland ; 

 see p. 750.

 Petunia z)iolacea Lindl. in Bot. Reg., November, 1833, t. 1626: but where the specific epithet is 



doubtless a mere mistake, as he quotes Sw. Fl. Gard. t. 193. ; intending, no doubt, to adopt 



Mr. Don's specific name, although no such epithet as violkcea has been, by Mr. Don, applied in 



that work to the plant in question. 



The name of this lovely plant (see p. 561.) may now be considered as 

 settled : Petunia phoenicea. No botanist has mentioned the apparent 

 imperfectness of the stamens of this plant. Dr. Lindley states that " it 

 forces well."

Already registered, with details, in p, 113., in the valuable list of newly 

 introduced plants, communicated by Mr. Cameron, Mr. Maund, who, in 

 his Botanic Garden for October, has figured this species, states that 



" It is a prostrate plant, spreading pretty freely over the surface of the 

 parterre. . . . The stems protrude young roots; and, if the former be fas- 

 tened down, they will supply an abundance of distinct plants. Pot a few 

 young ones in August, and keep them in a cold frame during winter. Turn 

 them out, in April, into a light rich soil and warm aspect, and they will 

 quickly become ornamental." Mr. Frost speaks of species of a similar 

 habit, termed (in p. 560.) " Ferbena Sabini.

A distinct species, with an umbel, according to the figure, of four flowers, 

 smaller than those of H. roseus. The species is in Colville's nursery. " It 

 requires a mixture of vegetable earth and sand, and will doubtless, like most 

 bulbous plants from the same country, succeed well in the open air, in a 

 warm sheltered border." (British Flower-Gar den, November.)

because many of the parts of this curious plant may be likened to the tongue of some reptile :

modern species.") Lizard's tongue. 20. 1.

It bears a good deal of resemblance to Spiranthes grandiflora and Pe-

 that of any plant of any published genus." The plant figured was derived
