A shrub, or shrub-like herbaceous plant, with a branchy 

 stem, rising from 1 ft. to 2 ft. in height. It was introduced by 

 Mr. Webb, from Madeira, and flowered, for the first time in 

 England, in the Chelsea Botanic Garden, in April, 1836. " It 

 appears to be distinct from the various shrubby species, natives 

 of the Canary Islands, and hitherto referred by authors to Py- 

 rethrum, but which will all, doubtless, range under the present 

 genus, which is well characterised by its winged fruit, terminated 

 by a large membranous crown." It will require the protection 

 of a frame or green house. {Brit. Fl.-Gard., July.)

A bushy evergreen shrub, with purple branches, raised from 

 seeds of a hybrid of li. arboreum that had been fertilised by 

 some other species, most probably R, panticum. " It surpasses 

 all the other varieties in the deep-toned purple of its blossoms, 

 which are also remarkable for their singularly waved appear- 

 ance." The plant is, apparently, quite hardy. {Brit. Fl.-Gard., 

 July.)

Supposed to be a hybrid between Azalea phcenicea and Rho- 

 dodendron dauricum atrovirens. It was raised by Mr. John 

 Menzies, gardener to Christopher Rawson, Esq., F.G.S., of 

 Hope House, near Halifax, from seeds collected by himself, and 

 sown in 1832. It is named in compliment to Mr. Rawson, 

 with whom Mr. Menzies has lived as gardener many years. 

 " To the example here set by Mr. Menzies, and others who 

 have preceded him in the delightful work of hybridisation, we 

 solicitously call the attention of our practical brethren, &c., in 

 whose exertions we will gladly and actively cooperate." {Pax- 

 ton's Mag. of Bat., July.)

An extremely pretty little annual, introduced by the late Mr. 

 Drummond, from Texas, and sent to Paxton's Magazine by 

 Mr. Campbell, curator of the Manchester Botanic Garden. It 

 promises to ripen seeds in abundance, and, consequently, to be 

 very soon added to the lists of the seed-shops. {Paxton's Mag. 

 of Bot., July.)
