<jdour of its flowers, which are, in fact, less odoriferous than those of the common 

 hawthorn, we think C. orientalis flava, or pallida, would be a better name for it. 



C. maroccdna Dec, Sarrour in Arabic {Bot. Reg., t. 1833), is a native of 

 Mount Sinai and St. Katharine j and it is said, though Dr. Lindley knows 

 not on what authority, to be a native of Barbary. Dr. Lindley adds that " it 

 is not improbable that C. maroccana is a mere variety of C. heterophylla, to 

 which it approaches very nearly in some respects. Independently, however, of 

 the form and colour of the fruit, and of the shape of the leaves, by which these 

 species are sufficiently distinguishable, the stipules of C. maroccana are smaller, 

 the growth less vigorous, and the fruit has usually two stones instead of one." 

 {Bot. Reg., May.) To us it appears t® belong to C. Azarolus.

A handsome species, found in California bj' Mr. Douglas,' in many respects 

 approaching to G. lepida ; but differing from it in the leaves being green, and 

 not glaucous ; and in the flowers being twice as large, and of a bright flame- 

 colour at the base of the petals. " It forms an agreeable contrast with G. 

 Lindley«K«, in consequence of the want of spots, and the peculiarly ruddy 

 appearance of its petals. {Bot. Reg., May.)

" A handsome showy species, but too near, perhaps, in the appearance of 

 its flowers, to some of our larger European groundsels, to become a general 

 favourite." (Bot. Mag., May.)

This species is figured from Mr. Tate's Nureery, Chelsea, where it flowered 

 in July, 1835. It was raised from seeds sent, about 1826, from Silhet or 

 Nepal, by Lady Amherst. Mr. Tate says, " upon the authority of several 

 practical botanists, among whom is Mr. Smith at Kew, that it is a distinct 

 species." Judging from the foi'm of the leaves in the drawing, we should think 

 it only a variety; but the flowers in the drawing are so badly coloured, that it 

 is difficult from them to ascertain whether they are distinct from the common 

 species, N. Oleander ; of which, in our opinion, N". odorum and N. flavescens 

 are nothing more than varieties. In short, we think that there is only one spe- 

 cies known in Britain of the genus iS'erium. {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., May.)

" Beautiful as all the species of Zygopetalum are, without exception, this 

 is, perhaps, upon the whole, the most attractive; not only on account of the 

 delicate wavy surface of its petals and sepals, and the peculiarly rich veiningof 

 the lapis lazuli blue of its lips, but because of its delicious fragrance. If lilies of 

 the valley were growing intermingled with the plants, the air could not be 

 more perfumed with pure and delightful odour, than it is after these curious 

 flowers have unfolded. The engraving was made from a specimen in Mr. 

 Knight's Nursery. (Bot. Reg., May.)
