This species has large handsome flowers of nearly uniform 

 reddish lilac colour ; only the base of the lip, and its ridges, 

 being white. It was received at the Edinburgh Botanic Garden 

 from Dr. Fischer of St. Petersburg, in 1830, without a name, 

 but marked as a native of Hayti. It has flowered repeatedly in 

 the stove, immediately succeeding B. verecunda in the end of 

 March. {Jam. Journ., July, 1836.)

A hardy bulb, of great rarity, which comes very near the 

 5cilla, erroneously called S. peruviana; which, like this species, is 

 a Sicilian plant, but is altogether much smaller. The bulbs 

 were sent from Sicily, by the Hon. William Strangways, to 

 H. F. Talbot, Esq., of Laycock Abbey, from whence the plant 

 was figured. [Bot. Reg., July.)

45. A Report upon the Varieties of Pea cidtivated in the Garden of 

 the Horticultural Society. By Mr. George Gordon, Under Gardener 

 in the Kitchen-Garden Department. 



Through the liberality and kindness of the Council of the 

 Horticultural Society, we were enabled to avail ourselves of 

 Mr. Gordon's knowledge of the best kinds of culinary vegeta- 

 bles of every description, so as to give those select lists which 

 will be found in our 'Lncyc. of Gardening-, ed. 1835. The paper 

 of which we are now about to give an abridgment contains an ex- 

 tensive list of garden peas, systematically arranged, and scienti- 

 fically described, by the same experienced cultivator. 



The numerous varieties of the pea, which have been grown 

 in the Horticultural Society's gardens, are arranged by Mr. 

 Gordon in the following groups : — 



" I. Common Dwarf Peas. With small roundish pods, white peas, and stems 



not more than 3 ft. high. 

 " II. Commoji Tall Peas. With round pods, white peas, and stems requiring 



sticks. 

 " III. Dwarf Marrow Peas. With broad pods, peas particularly sweet when 



young, and stems not more than 4 ft. high.
