" Communicated in May last by Sir Abraham Hume, Bart., 

 from his collection at Wormleybury. It is most probably a 

 seedling from Anneslei [P. Moutan var. Annesle/J, as it agrees 

 with that variety in habit, and in the uniform rich colour of its 

 petals. The flowers, however, are larger than in that variety, 

 with the petals more numerous, more deeply cut, and of the 

 colour of carmine." [The Brit. Flo'isoer-Gardeii, August.) 



XXIT. Berberidese. 



In the Penny Cyclopcedia, No. 237., the order BerberidecB is 

 treated of; and nineteen species of Berheris are described, each 

 in some detail, and incidental information on species additional 

 in number to these is supplied. Every one who desires inform- 

 ation on the berberries should acquire this number of the Penny 

 Cyclopcedia.

Rather handsome ; free-growing ; upright ; bark brown, that 

 of the twigs covered with brown tomentum. Branches long, 

 slender, drooping. Leaves ovate-oblong, 2 in. to 3 in. long, 

 8 to 13 lines broad. Fascicles of flowers axillary, sessile. ... It 

 flowers very freely in the green-house, and probably will thrive 

 upon a south wall where we have lately planted it. [Dr. Gra/iam, 

 Edinburgh Botanic Garden, in Bot. Mag. August.)

 Irish hybrid 1829 D rockwork 



Sir, In reference to R. Tongue's hybrid tormentilla, described 

 in p. 373., I beg to hand you the enclosed specimens of a hybrid 

 tormentilla, which I succeeded in raising here in 1829, which 

 seems to be nearly, if not the very same as R. Tongue's. In 

 1827 I planted, with a view to hybridising, a patch of the Po- 

 tentilla r5sea [? formosa] and Tormentilla reptans [Potentilla 

 nemoralis Nestler'} in one place; in 1828 they both flowered 

 freely, and the potentilla ripened seeds, which were sowed in 

 1829, and produced about 150 plants; most of these flowered 

 in 1830, and proved themselves to be the same as the Potentilla 

 rosea [? formosa], except two plants, the one closely resembling 

 the Potentilla ati'osanguinea, and the other the plant I have 

 sent you the specimen of. It resembles more the tormentilla 

 than its female parent in its habits, having slender prostrate stems
