ihe moist shady valleys, among the Khoseea Hills, twining 

 from tree to tree, and hanging down in elegant festoons , from 

 off which spring numerous projecting shoots, each of which was 

 crowned with an umbel of splendid flowers. The elevation of 

 these valleys is not more than 1000 ft. above the level of the 

 sea ; and the plant was in blossom during their cold season. It 

 lias been generally supposed to be a parasite, but Mr. Paxton 

 found it to succeed perfectly well, with the usual treatment of 

 epiphytes ; observing, from the description of its native habitat, 

 to keep it in a moist and shady situation during the growing 

 season. It flourished most luxuriantly on pieces of dead wood, 

 to which it soon attached itself; as it emits roots from every 

 joint. Mr. Paxton also informs us that " it may be multiplied 

 with remarkable facility by cuttings, which should be planted in 

 reduced moss, covered with a bell glass, and placed in a brisk 

 bottom heat. One joint will be sufficient for the purpose, and 

 will form a strong plant in a very short time, provided it be 

 judiciously treated." {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., Dec.)

+ Ipomcfa tyrianthina Lindl. The flowers are of a rich 

 dark purple, and fully 2J in. long, growing on long graceful 

 pend uncles. The stem is shrubby, and the plant may be in- 

 creased by cuttings. This beautiful flower was introduced by 

 G. F. Dickson, Esq., who obtained the seeds from Mexico, and 

 presented them to the Horticultural Society, in one of whose 

 plant-houses the species flowered in October last. (B. M. B.,

This very pretty solanum is a dwarf neat-growing species, very 

 different from most of its congeners. The flowers are of a dark 

 purple, with a yellow stripe up each petal. Its height seldom 

 exceeds 2 ft., and its flowers are seen to most advantage when 

 looked down upon from above. It is a stove plant, and requires 

 a humid atmosphere. (Paxt. Mag. of Bot., Jan.)
