with a peculiar silvery lustre, which continues on the old leaves ; 

 the colour being then beautifully delicate yellowish green, and 

 the redness behind much less considerable. The disk of the 

 leaf is in figure broadly lanceolate, with a heart-shaped base ; the 

 lobes there unequal: it is a little waved, and is toothed. (Bot.

This stove climber is stated to have been lately introduced. 

 The drawing was taken from a plant growing luxuriantly in the 

 hot-house at Weston, Shropshire, the seat of the Earl of Bradford. 

 {The Botanist, No. I., Oct.) Whether this species is ligneous 

 or herbaceous, what month it flowers in, to what height it grows, 

 or in what year it was introduced, are not mentioned.

" A most beautiful plant, and better meriting the name of 

 splendens than its near ally so called. ... It seems to be a plant 

 of humbler growth than the E. splendens : it has fewer spines, 

 more coriaceous, more obovate and retuse leaves, richer-coloured 

 bracteas, and simple filaments. It flowers in the stove of the 

 Glasgow Botanic Garden, in the latter end of winter, and in 

 early spring ; and more or less through the greater part of the 

 year." {Bot. Mag., Oct.)

A shrub, growing to the height of 6 ft. or upwards in its native 

 country. It seems nearly allied to P. incana, but differs from it 

 in the disposition of its leaves, which, in incana, are described as 

 not imbricate, which they are in this plant. Raised from seeds, 

 in 1834, and probably the only plant of this species [? variety] 

 which has ever been seen in a living state in this country. The 

 specific name is applied in relation to " the peculiarly white ap- 

 pearance of the tomentose branches, and under surface of the 

 leaves." {Birvi. Bot. Gard., Nov.)

" A pretty, neat, herbaceous plant, a native of Van Diemen's 

 Land, whence its seeds were sent by Mr. James Backhouse to 

 his brothers at York, where it flowered for the first time in 

 April of the present year. It is interesting, as forming the type 

 of a very small natural order bearing its own name, concerning
