plant to which a prize was awarded by the Horticultural Society, 

 as noticed in p. 412. Its habit seems peculiar: the stem bears 

 broad leaves, which are quite smooth and rather glaucous ; and 

 is divided, upwards, into slender branches, each tipped with a 

 rosy-rayed head of flowers. Its season of perfection is May 

 and June, at which time there is nothing in the gardens that 

 equals it in beauty ; for it possesses the brilliancy of the Cape 

 ii/elichrysa, without their stiffness and formality. It requires to 

 be treated as a tender annual; yet too much heat seems to be 

 particularly offensive to it. (Bot. Beg., Sept.)

 Probably a species distinct from G. florida. See Bot. Mag., t. 3349. 



This delightfully fragrant shrub flowered, in June, 1834, in 

 the noble gardens of Wentworth House, near Rotherham, York- 

 shire ; where it was received from the East Indies, and is treated 

 as a stove plant. It is a shrub with numerous stout woody 

 branches ; leaves oval or obovate ; flowers large, very fragrant ; 

 corolla pure white, soon turning yellow. (Bot. Mag., Sept.)

A twining half-shrubby species ; rare in shaded brushes of the 

 colony of Port Jackson, where it was detected by Mr. Allan 

 Cunningham, bearing its orange-coloured berries, in March, 

 1821 ; by whom it was introduced to the Kew collection, whence 

 the specimen figured had been derived. In habit, it resembles 

 a Jasminum. (Bot. Mag., Sept.)

Its foliage much I'esembles that of G. capitata ; but its flowers 

 are very much longer, and are disposed, not into globose heads, 

 but into large and rather dense panicles at the extremity of the 

 peduncles; which are shorter than those in G. capitata, and 

 very numerous. The deep orange of the centre of the corolla, 

 and the light purple or white of the margin, and a circle of deep 

 purple which separates these, display each other to great advan- 

 tage. G. tricolor " is quite hardy, and will grow in any kind 

 of soil. The time of flowering is from July to September ; but 

 it may be retarded or advanced by a little management. Nothing 

 can well be prettier than this is, when thickly filling a bed a few 

 feet in length and breadth." (Bot. Beg., Sept.)
