" A little annual plant, allied to Clarkz'a, found near the Rus- 

 sian colony of Ross, in New California, and communicated to the 

 garden of the Horticultural Society from that of the Emperor 

 at St. Petersburg, in 1836. It flowers in about six weeks from 

 the time of germination ; and, although not to be compared with 

 Clarkm pulchella in point of beauty, is a neat, and by no means 

 weedy, plant, and perfectly hardy." [Bot. Reg., June.)

*'This extremely curious umbelliferous plant, so unlike in habit 

 to the majority of individuals of this extensive natui'al order, is a 

 native of New Holland, where it appears to be not uncommon." 

 The flowers are of a yellowish white, the anthers, and the upper 

 edge of the germen, only being red. It may be considered a 

 hardy green-house plant. [Bot. Mag., June.)

"This very handsome plant, although a well known inhabit- 

 ant of our gardens for a period of 100 years, has not (perhaps 

 for want of novelty to recommend it) found a place in any of 

 our botanical publications. It flowers from August to October, 

 when the cold and frosts cause it to perish down to the roots."

" It most probably was raised from imported seeds a few years

 of summer, and will grow in any common soil." {Matmd's Bot.
