" A handsome stove shrub, native of the tropical parts of 

 South America, whence it was received, some years since, by the 

 Horticultural Society. It flowers in June and July ; but, like a 

 large number of the woody inhabitants of the tropics, seldom 

 produces its blossoms in this country. The dull wrinkled foliage 

 is by no means handsome ; and, as the flowers are destitute of 

 smell, they have nothing to recommend them beyond their size 

 and curious colour." {Bot. Reg., May.)

" Our intercourse with Brazil has made known to our collec- 

 tions several species of this beautiful tropical genus, than which 

 few are more ornamental to our stoves. The foliage is mostly 

 of a full and vivid green ; and the flowers are remarkable, in 

 general, for their rich colour, frequently inclining to, or alto- 

 gether, scarlet. This plant was introduced by Mr. Murray to 

 the Glasgow Botanic Garden ; and proves to be the var. igneum 

 of G. sceptrum of Martins." {Bot. Mag., May.)

" This new and very beautiful variety of Epigae a was raised 

 by Mr. John Milne, of the Albion Road Nursery, Stoke New- 

 ington. The flowers are considerably larger than those of the 

 white variety, and of a rich pink. It is an abundant flovverer, 

 and few plants are more worthy of a place in the flower-garden. 

 It will require to be grown in a border composed of peat, and 

 to be treated as other American plants." It may be multiplied, 

 like the common Epigse^ by divisions. {Swt. Br. Fi.-Gard., 

 May.)
