This, in the open air in the Edinburgh Botanic Garden, 

 where it has stood several years, proves a very handsome shrub. 

 It flowered there, for the first time, in July, 1834 : it was received 

 there, in 1820, from Mr. Thomas Hogg of Clapton. The leaves, 

 pinnated, are 2|in. long. The clusters of flowers are axillary, 

 longer than the leaves. The flowers are from twelve to twenty 

 in a cluster. Corolla large and handsome : the standard of a 

 reddish purple passing into lilac; the wings of a deep rose 

 colour. (Bot. Mag., Sept.)

C. macrantha itself is a most estimable ornament of the hardy 

 flower-garden ; and the present variety, C. macrantha var, poly- 

 antha, is described, and, by the figure, seems, to be one still 

 more so. " It is a taller plant; the flowers are larger, of a bluer 

 colour, and much more numerous upon the stem." The figure 

 is from a plant in the Glasgow Botanic Garden. [Bot. Mag.,

A beautiful variety, introduced from China by Mr. M'Killigan 

 (see IX. 474.), along with the lovely variegated-corollaed kind; 

 and, with it, was purchased by Mr. Knight. The plant is 

 remarkably bushy, and abundant in leaves. These are smaller 

 than in A. indica itself, of a deep green, with a rusty tinge from 

 numerous brown hairs disposed about the midrib and margin : 

 their surface, too, is covered with hairs. The flowers are of a 

 bright clear brick colour, a little tinged with rose. (Bot. Reg., 

 Sept.)
