seems to flourish as well in the climate of England as on its 

 native mountains." It is a large-habited branching species ; and 

 produces numerous white flowers, of about the size and form of 

 those of Anemone sylvestris. The figure is derived from spe- 

 cimens supplied, in May, 1834, " by Lady Sarah Amherst, 

 from Montreal, Kent, the seat of her noble father." ( The Brit. 

 Mower-Garden, Sept.)

The figure exhibits a most gorgeous flower, full of petals of 

 the deepest crimson, and these symmetrically disposed : the flower 

 orbicular in outline. The kind is set down as a variety of P. 

 edulis ; but it is named a "tree paeony," is stated to have "many 

 half-shrubby stems," and to be eligible to be " treated and pro- 

 pagated like the other moutans." In this case, we omit to guess 

 which species it is a variety of: the figure, and Mr. Paxton, in 

 his description, teach that it " is certainly a very striking sort, 

 and well worth cultivation." We should say, most especially so. 

 The figure had been derived from the nursery of Mr. Tate, 

 Sloane Street; ""who has several other unique things from the 

 same quarter of the world" (China).

A night-flowering species ; with a flower which exhales a 

 delicious odour, and is, in the length of the tube, and expansion 

 of the border, not considerably less than that of the night-flower- 

 ing cereus. The expanded border forms a vegetable star ; whose 

 rays are of the softest white, while the disk is of a rich yellow, 

 formed by the stigma and the clustering anthers. Sir J. Lubbock 

 presented, some years ago, a living specimen of this species to 

 the Horticultural Society. It flowers at various seasons, and 

 now and then forms an offset. (Bot. Beg., Oct.)

This, the rose apple, a native of the East Indies, is one of the 

 commonest garden trees of Madeira ; but there is scarcely another 

 that combines so eminently the beauties of flower, fruit, and 

 foliage. The flowers are large, handsome, of a very pale yellowish 

 or greenish white, have a slight fragrance of primroses or cowslips, 

 and are produced in tassel-like bunches, which contrast with the
