any [of the species of Ipomoe v a in our collections], that can equal, in the 

 beauty of the flowers, I. riibro-cserulea : for the opportunity of figuring which 

 we are indebted to John Allcard, Esq., of Stratford Green, Essex ; in whose 

 stove, and that of his neighbour, Miss Loxley, plants have been in flower the 

 [? which] last two months. The seeds from which they have arisen were col- 

 lected in the province of Guanaxuato, in Mexico, by Mr. Samuel Richardson, 

 an officer in the Anglo-Mexican mining association ; who presented them to 

 J. D. Powles, Esq., of Stamford Hill, who has liberally distributed them."

 Raised by Mr. Gillen (gardener to Mr. M'Intosh, at the East India Docks), from seeds which had 

 been cross-impregnated between two of the numerous varieties originated between C. arach- 

 nOidea and C. corymbbsa. (Brit. Flower-Garden.) 



Flowers cymose. Corolla of a bright rufous red, the upper lip very short ; 



lower one large, inflated, nearly round Mr. Gillen sent us specimens of 



several others, equally beautiful, which he had raised in the same way. {Brit. 

 Flower-Garden, Feb.)

A newly introduced species. Mr. Tate of the Sloane Square Nursery com- 

 municated the specimen figured. In Britain " it is a pretty green-house 

 perennial, requiring to be kept in an airy place ; and may be easily multiplied 

 by cuttings." It differs from N. gracilis in being generally glabrous, not 

 pubescent ; in its corolla being of a lilac, not a grey, colour ; " the tube of its 

 corolla is also shorter; and its stamens covered with glandular hairs." Ac- 

 cording to the picture, the plant is a very pleasing one in its slender herbage, 

 garnished with numerous flowers, whose red-lilac corollas are 1 in. across, 

 and have in their centre, at the throat of the tube, a conspicuous yellow spot. 

 The segments of the stigma are apposed to the anthers in a remarkable man- 

 ner. (Bot. Reg., Feb.)

 Brit, seems, therefore, wrongly placed.] 



A pretty species, of, according to the figure, a free full habit, copiously clad 

 in willow-like leaves ; and adorned at the tips of its branches with axillary 

 spikes of flowers, whose corolla is 1a in. long, and of a rosy purple colour. 

 It is " easily cultivated, and may be easily multiplied by cuttings. The draw- 

 ing was made in September, 1833, in the nursery of Mr. Knight, Chelsea."

A pretty little perennial plant for cultivating in a pot or upon rockwork. 

 Mr. Knight, Chelsea, possesses it. Its creeping leaf-clad shoots or branches 

 emit roots very readily ; and they form a miniature tuft of verdant herbage, 

 from which numerous flower-stems arise ; which,, with their branches, are ter- 

 minated by little dense heads of small flowers, with rosy or pink corollas, 

 marked with a yellow spot. " It is nearly if not quite hardy." (The British 

 Floiuer-Garden, Feb.)
