»stolonifera Lindl. creeping-rooted £ A cu 3 jn R N. Amer. ?1830 S s.l Bot. reg. 1977. 



A stoloniferous, hardy, herbaceous plant, with a smooth taper 

 stem. Among the last seeds sent from California by Mr. Douglas 

 were some of this plant. It is much larger than any other known 

 species of Hosack/a, forming a stout bush about 3 ft. high, and 

 multiplying itself readily by its creeping roots. " Although its 

 flowers are unattractive, it forms a good shrubbery plant, where 

 it is desirable to give the appearance of undergrowth quickly ; 

 for it resembles a shrub during the summer, and it spreads so 

 fast as soon to extend far beyond its original station." It pro- 

 duces abundance of seeds in August. The embryo has some- 

 times three cotyledons. {Bot. Meg., Aug.)

<' A very beautiful perennial lupine, introduced from Cali- 

 fornia by the Horticultural Society, and hitherto but little 

 known. It has been called in the Society's garden a d-warf 

 'Laipinus rivuldris; but the affinity of the species seems to be less 

 with L. rivularis than with L. nootkatensis, for it has nothing of 

 an arborescent habit. The decumbent habit of this species 

 renders it well suited for a bed in a flower-garden : it produces 

 a great profusion of its pale many-coloured flowers, breathing 

 the sweet perfume of the field bean during all the months of 

 May and June, after which it ripens its pods, and remains 

 shabby for the rest of the year." [Dot. Reg., Aug.)

" A curious genus of Compositae, raised from seeds received 

 from M. De Fischer, director of the Imperial Botanic Garden at 

 St. Petersburg, and recorded in the Appendix to the Catalogue of 

 Seeds of that garden for 1835." It is a native of the Russian 

 colony of Ross, in New California, and is nearly related to the 

 genus Callichroa. [Swt. Br. Ft.-Gard., Aug.)

Mr. Herbert informed Dr. Lindley that the old white variety 

 of R. arboreum is hardy, and has stood twelve or thirteen years 

 in the garden at Spoffbrth ; whence Dr. Lindley infers that this 

 variety may also possess the same quality. [Bot. Reg., Aug.)
