America. The figure published is from a plant of it in the 

 London Horticultural Society's garden. " It is quite different 

 from all the other honeysuckles." Its stems and branches are 

 short, slender, and weak, and more disposed to be prostrate than 

 to entwine ; the younger portions of these, and the leaves gene- 

 rally, are hispid, with straight distant hairs : the leaves are, in 

 figure, cordate-ovate, green above, glaucous beneath. The 

 flowers are small, and nearly scentless ; the corollas rose-coloured, 

 and two-lipped ; the stamens prominent. " In common soil it 

 can scarcely be kept alive ; but, in peat and loam, it grows as 

 readily as any other hardy American plant." {Bot. Reg., May.)

1783. MI'MULUS. 



The conductor of the Floricuitural Cabinet has noted in the 

 number for May, that he, in a recent visit to York 'and its 

 neighbourhood, was much pleased to see several very strikingly 

 handsome varieties of iVfimulus ; which had been raised, by cross- 

 impregnation, from the M. variegatus, roseus, luteus, YoungzV, 

 SmithzV, bifrons, &c. These were in the possession of lovers of 

 flowers and of floriculture, and of Messrs. Backhouse, nursery- 

 men, York.

Well known as Ruellz'a anisophylla. The leaves have this 

 striking peculiarity : their midrib and nerves are prominent on 

 the upper side of the leaf, and sunk into the substance of the leaf 

 on the under side; except the midrib, which is slightly pro- 

 minent. On each side of the nerve, however, on the upper side, 

 the parenchyma forms a closely placed elevated line. {Bot. Mag., 

 May.)

Has the habit, and form of corolla, of a Prostanthera. In its 

 wild state in New South Wales, where it is of rare occurrence, 

 it is a shrub from 2 ft. to 3 ft. high ; with numerous long, upright, 

 slender branches. Cultivated in the Kew collection, it is of more 

 diff"use and bushy growth, forms a handsome hardy green-house 

 shrub, and flowers freely at various seasons. The flowers are 

 produced in the terminal portion of the branchlet, one from the 

 axil of a leaf ; the leaves, generally, are half an inch long, sub- 

 sessile, linear lanceolate ; the corolla is a five-lobed little bell, 

 of a violet-blue colour. {Bot. Mag., May.)
