A very handsome species of CollinszVr, somewhat resembling 

 C. tricolor, but having much larger and more showy flowers. 

 It was found by Nuttall on the Columbia, and was raised at the 

 Experimental Garden, Edinburgh, by Mr. James M'Nab, from 

 seeds transmitted to him under the name adopted, by Mr. Buist 

 of Philadelphia, in spring last. (Bot. Mag., Dec.) 



Labiatece. 



+ Gardoquia betonicoides. " Raised by Messrs. Lowe and 

 Co. from Mexican seeds. It is an erect, sweet-scented, herba- 

 ceous plant, with the upper part of its stem producing from 

 every axil its cymes of bright purple flowers, which give it the 

 appearance of a ^etonica." (B. M. R., Nov., No. 159.)

This is perhaps the most beautiful of all the beautiful genus 

 Ferbena. The plant is erect, and grows about 2 ft. high ; its 

 flower-spike is generally more than 6 in. long ; the flowers are 

 of a delicate pinkish white, gradually deepening into a rich rosy 

 pink as they begin to decay ; and they are delightfully fragrant. 

 It is supposed to be quite as hardy as any of the other species; 

 and it is of remarkably strong and vigorous growth. It was first 

 described by Sir W. J. Hooker, in the Botanical Miscellany, 

 vol. i. p. 167-, from specimens collected by Dr. Gillies " from 

 the highest ridge of the Nepallata Mountains, in South America, 

 at an elevation of 10,000 ft. above the level of the sea." No 

 seeds were, however, received from Dr. Gillies, and the plant 

 was introduced by Mr. Tweedie, who found it on Monte Video, 

 and on the Sugarloaf Mountain of Maldonado. It first flowered 

 in the Glasnevin Botanic Garden, in August, 1838. Messrs. 

 Handyside, nurserymen, of Musselburgh, have purchased the 

 whole stock ; and, as it strikes readily from cuttings, they will 

 have plants ready for sale in April, 1839. {Botanical Magazine, 

 and Paxton's Magazine of Botany, Dec.) The figure of Vex-. 

 bena teucxioides, in Paxton's Magazine of Botany, is, for 

 botanical accuracy and delicacy of shading and colouring, equal 

 to anything that has yet appeared ; and, indeed, this periodical 

 is now everything that we could wish it to be. We .yncerely 

 trust that the editor and publishers will take effectual care that 

 it does not degenerate into the state in which it was six months 

 ago. (See H. N. H. in our preceding volume.)

The flowers of this species, though curious, do not make much 

 show. It is a native of South America, whence it was sent by 

 Mr. Tweedie, in 1836, to the Glasnevin Botanic Garden, where 

 it flowered in 1837. {Botanist, Dec.)
