flowers, one of four, one of four or five; the flowers upon pedi- 

 cels of from more than half an inch to more than an inch long; 

 the limb of the corolla is not so broad as a sixpenny piece. The 

 peduncles are described to be from 8 in. to 1 ft. long. The colour 

 of the corolla is described to be reddish lilac, paler behind, the 

 throat yellow, the tube yellowish. This variety, as well as the 

 crenated-leafed one, was received at the Botanic Garden, Edin- 

 burgh, from Mr. Goldie of Ayr. {Bot. Mag., Nov.)

" All the species of this genus [Galatella] are well adapted 

 for borders of shrubberies, and for places where shade-loving 

 plants alone will grow." {Bot. Reg., Dec.) 



Dr. Lindley, in his account of G. punctata, has mentioned two 

 other species, named * //yssopifolia and * acris ; but has stated 

 that he greatly doubts whether punctata " is really a distinct 

 species from G. hyssopifolia and acris, or they from each other; " 

 and that " so very difficult is it to distinguish them with absolute 

 certainty, when one has a long series of specimens under exami- 

 nation." It can scarcely be doubted that Galatella /zyssopifolia 

 is another name for No. 21241. in H. B., and Galatella acris for 

 No. 21291.

" It is one of the noblest herbaceous subjects we have long 

 met with ; and, notwithstanding its flowers, individually, are 

 small, the mass of them displayed, during nearly a month, on a 

 stem 8 ft. high, emanating from a base of glaucous leaves, each 

 2 ft. long, produces a most striking effect." {B. Maimd, in his 

 work, the Botanic Garden, Nov.) 



This species is noticed in IX. 112., from Mr. Cameron, as 

 cultivated in the Birmingham Botanic Garden, in 1831. Mr. 

 Maund has now made known that it was raised there from fo- 

 reign seeds, and that it flowered there in 1835 for the first time. 

 " At present, it possesses no appearance of offsets, for increase 

 at the root. Should this still continue, it will be unimportant, 

 on account of the facility of its increase by seeds. It appears to 

 be completely hardy ; and flourishes in light soil. [B. Maund, in 

 his work, the Botanic Gardeji, Nov.)
