In Vol. X. p. 188. is a notice that ''Chrysanthemum sinense 

 WheelermwMm, and six other seedling varieties, from Mr. Isaac 

 Wheeler, Beaumont Buildings, Oxford," were exhibited to the 

 London Horticultural Society on December 3. 1833 : this was at 

 a meeting of the Society of that date. In the Floricultural Cabinet, 

 the number for Jan. 1836, is a plate of coloured figures of the 

 three kinds of chrysanthemum named above ; and a statement 

 on the two varieties designated Wheeler's, that "they are a most 

 valuable addition to this pleasing tribe of autumnal-flowei'ing 

 plants." The sulphur yellow is described in our Vol. IX. p. 223. 

 by the deceased Mr. Haworth : more fully in the Floricultural 

 Cabinet.

 covered in New Zealand, by Mr. Richard Cunningham : these 

 are named, —

Speciosa is a shrub 3 ft. to 6 ft. high, with many ascending 

 robust stems. Flowers blue purple, resembling those of Lu- 

 binm atropurpurea. Mr. Allan Cunningham has remarked 

 that " we know of no shrub more to be desired to enrich our 

 collections than this very remarkable and beautiful speedwell ; 

 judging, as we do, from the fine specimens we have received, 

 and from the description given of it on its native hills by its 

 discoverer, iigustriiolia is a slender shrub, 2 ft. high ; its flowers 

 are whitish. DiosmifcMia is a slender twiggy shrub, 3 ft. to 12 ft. 

 high : its flowers are white. The other species discovered by Mr. 

 R. Cunninghamis deemed to appear identical with calycina^. Br, 

 originally found by Mr. Brown in Van Diemen's Land. This
