the corolla ; which, being deep rosy red in the centre, with five starry lobes, 

 bordered with a sort of orange yellow, gives a striking appearance to the 

 flowers. E. stellaris grows readily in peat and loam ; but is scarcely to be 

 propagated except by cuttings of the root. (Bot. Reg., April.)

" Unquestionably one of the most beautiful of all the species to descriptions 

 of which I have had access, as well as of a most extensive collection of spe- 

 cies of the genus in my herbarium. The seeds, from which plants of it have 

 been raised, were received by Charles Horsfall, Esq., Everton ; under the care 

 of whose very skilful gardener, Mr. Henry Evans, the plants produced their 

 lovely blossoms, in great profusion, during December, 1833, and Jan. 1834: 



a season when so gay a visiter to the stove is particularly welcome 



Leaves quinate, upon rather long petioles. Peduncles axillary, about as long 

 as, or longer than, the petiole, bearing a dichotomous cyme of many flowers. 

 Corolla funnel-shaped, spread at the top to the width of a penny-piece ; of a 

 very deep rich and glossy rose colour, equally dark within and without. {Bot. 

 Mag., April.)

A pretty species, with small revolute leaves, arrow-shaped at the base ; and 



with a good proportion of flowers, whose corollas are " larger than those of 



L. vulgaris." It is, therefore, among small prostrate plants, a showy one. 



Mr. Anderson of the Chelsea Botanic Garden has raised the species from 



exotic seeds. (The Brit. Floiv.-Gard., April.)

M. Smiths and M. Youngw, which bear a very close resemblance to each 

 other, are the most beautiful kinds of ilfimulus known. M. Smithw is a 

 hybrid, raised probably between the M. rivularis and M. variegatus. It par- 

 takes much of the habit of M. rivularis, and produces flowers profusely. 

 (Paxton's Magazine of Botany, April.) Mr. Dennis, nurseryman, Chelsea, 

 possesses plants of the M. Smiths.

We consider it essentially distinguished from Torenz'a by its deeply-parted calyx, the serrated lobes 

 of its corolla, the structure of its stamens, the form and consistence of its capsule, and, finally, 

 by its large succulent placenta?. — D. Don. 



Artanema fimbriatum will be found, although usually treated as a green- 

 house plant, to succeed in the open border during the summer months ; freely 

 producing its blossoms and ripening its seeds. It should be planted in a 

 mixture of peat and loam ; and is increased by seeds or by cuttings. The 

 plant has a good deal of the aspect of a .Mimulus ; its blossoms are large and 

 showy ; and we consider it an interesting addition to the gardens. Mr. Neill 

 of Canonmills, Edinburgh, Messrs. Loddiges, and, doubtless, others, possess 

 the plant. (The Brit. Flow.-Gard., April.)

969. AMARY'LLIS 7992 aulica " seems liable to much variation. We [Dr. Hooker] have represented 

 a splendid variety, in Bot. Mag. t. 2983., with green lines in the centre, running nearly the whole 

 length of each petal ; with a very obsolete glandular disk ; and with long narrow glaucous-leaves. 

 Between this variety, and the variety platyp<kala Lindley in Bot. Reg. t. 1038., and the original 

 A. aulica Ker in Bot. Reg. t. 444., our present plant [figured in the Bot. Mag. for April, 1834, 

 t. 3311.] seems intermediate. The points in which our plant differs from the A. aulica Ker are, 

 the petals are less sharply acuminate, and the base of the petals is of a darker green. The bulb
