Docks, had communicated the specimen figured. (The British Flower-Garden, 



June.) 



Of Lanaria dalmatica, a figure is published in the Bot. Reg. for June, t. 1683. ; where it is deemed 

 a ^ or £ , 2 ft, to 3 ft. high, rather than a «., 1§ ft. high. 



It seems to be, when in flower, an attractive showy species. " The shoots 

 spring straight from the ground, and rise, with very few branches, to the height 

 of 2 ft. or 3 ft. They and the leaves are covered over with a dense bloom, 

 which contrasts agreeably with the deep yellow of the showy flowers ;" which, 

 according to the picture, are numerous and large. It is figured from the gar- 

 den of the Horticultural Society.

NlEREMBE'RG/,4 filicaulis, of which an account is quoted in p. 176., is figured in The British 

 Flower-Garden for June, t. 243. ; where we are taught, in addition, that it is " a native of Entre 

 Rios, a province of Buenos Ayres ; and was raised, in 1832, from seeds sent by Mr. Tweedie to 

 Mr. Neill of Canonmills. 



Mr. D. Don saw it, in the early part of autumn, 1833, in great perfection 

 in the open border, in Mr. Neill's garden. " The plant requires a soil com- 

 posed of peat and loam, in nearly equal proportions ; and is increased with 

 facility by cuttings. Figured from the Chelsea Botanic Garden.

JVARCI'SSUS (A'ja^:) moschatus has been found wild in the adjoining parish of Meriden ; and 

 communicated to me by its discoverer, Miss Gresley of that place. It is quite a new plant to the 

 British flora, I believe; and you may announce it as such, if you like. PoorHaworth would have 

 jumped for joy at the intelligence, had he still been among us. {Extract from a Letter from 

 Rev. W. T. Bree, Allesley Rectory, near Coventry, Warwickshire, dated May 20. 1834.)

Figured from a plant which had been given to Mr. C. Horsfall of Everton, 

 Liverpool, by Mr. Henry Harrison, who imported it from the Brazils. It has, 

 as Mr. Evans, the able gardener, observes, an aromatic smell ; and differs from 

 my original C. tridentatum in the larger flowers and much broader sepals.

A specimen of this variety, as well as one of the preceding, has been sent 

 to Dr. Hooker by Mrs. C. Horsfall. C. tridentatum viridiflorum " is remark- 

 able for the greener hue of the flower, especially of the labellum, and the 

 much longer and stronger teeth of the latter. It was introduced, from Deme- 

 rara, by William Sandbach, Esq. 



" In all " the varieties of C. tridentatum, " the elastic nature of the stalk 



of the pollen masses is quite remarkable; in consequence of which, the latter 



are thrown to a considerable distance, and with much force, on the anther 



being removed ; and they then firmly adhere, by the large glutinous gland, to 



whatever body they strike against." (Bot. Mag., June.)

A " species very distinct from any previously described." 

 The slender scape bears, towards its tip, three or four flowers, whose sepals 

 and petals are of an obscure yellow colour, tinted with a rosy one j the label- 

 lum, veined, is rosy at the base and yellow at the tip. B. gracilis " requires 

 the treatment of B. verecfinda, acutipetala, and Shepherds." Messrs. Bate- 

 man, and the Rev. and Hon. W. Herbert, possess plants of this species ; and 

 Messrs. Loddiges, who introduced the species, have figured it in t. 1681. of 

 their Botanical Cabinet. (Bot. Reg., June.) See p. 288.
