what arborescent or shrubby stems, fibrous roots, pedunculated 

 cymes, scattered leaves, with the parenchyme singularly wrinkled 

 on the upper surface, each little prominence surmounted by a 

 hair, or papilla ; to which characters that author adds the pre- 

 sence of stipules. To this group our present plant certainly 

 belongs, although I can find no trace of stipules. From all the 

 previously described species it is known by its entirely sessile 

 and auriculated leaves. Seeds of it were bi'ought to Mr. Mur- 

 ray by the mate of a vessel fi*om Rio Janeiro ; but, as no species 

 of the genus has been described as an inhabitant of Brazil, it is 

 probable that it came originally from some of the West India 

 Islands." {Bat. Reg., March.)

" A new, but not very pretty, species of Nemophila, nearly 

 allied to the beautiful N. insignis, but entirely destitute of 

 that brilliant blue in the corolla of that species. The seeds were 

 sent to the Horticultural Society, in 1836, from the Imperial 

 Garden at St. Petersburg." {Bot. Reg., March.)

" One of the several species of ilfimulus discovered by Mr. 

 Douglas on the fertile shores of North-west America. This was 

 among the last, as it certainly is the most beautiful, of the whole; 

 though its beauty is somewhat diminished by the reflexed po- 

 sition of the scarlet lobes of the corolla. Readily increased 

 both by seeds and cuttings." [Bot. Mag., March.)

" Tubers of this truly fine species of Begonz'a were sent in 

 1835, from Lima, by John McLean, Esq., to the Glasgow Bo- 

 tanic Garden, where the large flowers, like those of an ane- 

 mone, were produced in the stove during the months of October 

 and November in the following year. We have found that 

 those individuals bloomed best which were in the warmest situ- 

 ation in the stove." {Bot. Mag., March.)
