The celebrated variegated Chinese azalea ; to procure which, 

 alive, so many attempts have been made, in vain, for these 

 twenty years. The living plant or plants of it, imported by 

 M'Killigan, and purchased by Mr. Knight, Chelsea (see IX 

 474.), has flowered with Mr. Knight; who has, it seems (X. 

 281.), plants of it for sale. (Bot. Beg., Nov.)

Received from Brazil, to the late Mrs. A. Harrison, by her 

 brother. Mr. Paxton is convinced, by repeated observation, 

 that it is distinct from G. bulbosa. He has named it after Mr. 

 Cooper of Wentworth Gardens, who cultivates the gesnerias 

 with remarkable success.

Received, at the Glasgow Botanic Garden, from Messrs. 

 Loddiges, by this name. It is certainly among the most beau- 

 tiful of the varieties : it has the corolla of a rich full yellow, and 

 every segment marked with a large blotch of a rich red brown 

 inclining to blood colour. (Bot. Mag., Nov.)

A hybrid offspring of C. crenatifiora and C. atrosanguinea ; 

 raised by Mr. P. N. Don, at Knypersley Hall, Staffordshire, 

 the residence of J. Bateman, Esq. It is of more robust growth 

 than C. crenatifiora. The corolla is of a bright yellow ; the 

 lower lip orbicular, having a large patch of a chocolate brown.

Out of four plants raised, this spring, from seeds of V. pul- 

 chella, two have proved white-flowered. This variety is a 

 valuable addition to the ornaments of the flower-garden. It 

 differs from V. pulchella in these particulars : the absence of 

 colouring matter in the limb of the corolla ; the throat slightly 

 touched with yellow, just sufficient to give warmth, as an artist 

 might say; the anthers want the purple tint, as do the angles of 

 the stem ; and the stem is devoid of the numerous purple dots 

 which are present upon the stem of V. pulchella itself. The 

 variety is a plant of more lively appearance.
