190 Floricultural arid Botanical Notices, 



comparatively nothing of those species with which it is our in- 

 terest to be best acquainted ; although the study of the latter 

 would be equally gratifying to those who delight to " look 

 through nature up to nature's God." It is hoped, then, that, if 

 these remarks meet the eye of any entomologist who has the 

 means of investigating the natural history of the gardener's and 

 farmer's insect enemies, they will induce him to direct his atten- 

 tion to the subject.

Of the Plants enumerated in p. 78, 79. 85. as extant in Collec- 

 tions in Belgium, the following are also extant in those of Britain : 

 — Camellm Doncklaer/, or japonica Doncklaerz, and japonica 

 candidissima are at Mr. Knight's, and, no doubt, also at Messrs. 

 Loddiges's, Messrs. Low and Go's, and Messrs. Rollison's. 

 Acacia paradoxa Dec. is A. undulata Bot. Reg. : it is a variety 

 near A. armata [Mr. Sweet had deemed it the same : it is placed 

 as a synonyme in his Hort. Brit.~\. Lantana multiflora is at 

 Knight's : it is near L. crocea, and handsome. Vinca rosea foliis 

 variegatis is in some collections in England. Scottia trapezi- 

 formis must be S. tenue Bot. Beg. Polygala gracilis Messrs. 

 Loddiges have ; and, I think, they call it also P. longifcjlia : Mr, 

 Knight has it. Its affinity is about between P. 7«yrtif61ia and 

 p. grandiflora. iJhododendron LowzV is at Mr. Knight's, and, 

 no doubt, in the nurseries of others. Its corolla is white, the 

 upper segments marked by a few dull scarlet spots : it is a most 

 striking variety. Z/ilium eximium or speciosissinium is a splen- 

 did variety : some deem it a variety of L. longiflorum, but it is 

 very distinct from this. Anemone arborea is a synonyme of A. ca- 

 pensis ; a known, but rarely seen, species. I saw it, in 1834, at 

 Messrs. Rollison's. 



The following Plants, besides those mentioned in p. 78, 79. 85., 

 have been introduced from Collections in Belgium to some of those in
